We raced on the sloop John B
The dead bodies and me
Around Rio town we did roam
Drinking the bight

Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home....

Nederland, Colorado has it's annual Dead Guy Coffin Race. Rio could add a new Olympic event for fastest recovery of a floating corpse. Extra points given for dodging the most feces.

I used to compete in the dead body dodge - in college. My roommates consumed so much alcohol and marijuana it was like they were dead as they slept on the floor in various positions.

“When you open up the fish, their innards are black with oil and muck,” a fisherman tells the Times. “But we clean them with soap and eat them anyway.”
Mmmm. Pre-lubed. Good eatin'.

Note to self: stay away from Rio.
