Included will be assorted Idiot games with the chance to win awards, there will be raffles for some fantastic prizes and gift certificates.

The highlight of the day will be announcing the person who was voted as the 2011 IDIOT OF THE YEAR. Who knows, it could even be you or some other Idiot you know.

Special Veterans Day Events 2011

November 11, 2011 Veterans Day Celebration on South Padre Island

Click to Enlarge

From Leonard McCarthy of the International Idiots Club:

I would like to encourage everyone to attend the South Padre Island Memorial Day Events including the Purple Heart Memorial Trail Dedication Ceremony and the Veterans Day Concert with Leslie Blazing.

Although it is not an INTERNATIONAL IDIOTS CLUB sponsored function and since some members have asked about the Club’s involvement and participation, I thought I would inform those interested in attending about the events that will take place.

This City of South Padre Island is receiving the Honor of helping to dedicate the Purple Heart Memorial Trail at 2:30 PM at Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Leslie will be provide a Veterans Day Concert at at 4:00 PM at the Shrimp House.

Lora and I will be there, at both events, representing the American Military Support organization in collecting donations and items for the local Rio Grande Valley soldiers overseas.

Since the American Military Support has been supported in the past by a donation from the Idiots Club I would encourage everyone to attend either or both events. If possible, please print out the poster that can be found on the web site listed above and post it at your place of business or other places that you feel would be willing to display the information.

For additional information about the American Military Support group, please visit their web site: www.americanmilitarysupport.com

Independence Day Celebration 2011

July 25, 2011 By International Idiots Club Leave a Comment

Idiots Celebrate Independence Day on South Padre IslandSince the 4th of July, 2011, was on a Monday this year, the Idiots Club decided to celebrate the Nation’s Birthday Sunday, July 3rd. Any day you can express your freedom and honor the United States is a very good reason to party and have fun.

Besides the Idiot’s Club Celebration several other things took place that day. We had a “Fly Over” performed by the Commemorative Air Force – Rio Grande Valley Wing (www.rgvwingcaf.com) which is always a crowd pleaser. The aircraft did a couple of low level passes and received a thunderous applause and cheering from the all of the Idiots at “Boomies” (www.boomerangbillysbeachbar.com) as well as the crowds on the beach.

The Idiot’s Club has joined with the American Military Support group (located nearby in the Harlingen, Texas). The purpose of the group is to collect money and items to send to our active Military Personnel who live in the Rio Grande Valley and are currently stationed overseas. Please visit their Web Site at www.americanmilitarysupport.com.

Elsewhere on our Web Site is related information about the group and, as a side note, it cost them $3,000 dollars to mail 250 “care packages” which they call “Quality Of Life” packages, so any donations you would like to make to them is greatly appreciated. If possible, add a notation that you are an Idiot Club member so they know that we are behind their effort as well.

Idiot of the Year & Idiot Hall of Fame Awards

April 7, 2011 By International Idiots Club Leave a Comment

International Idiots Club Idiot Hall of Fame and Idiot of the Year AwardNominations for the International Idiots Club Idiot of the Year and Idiot Hall of Fame awards are due by April 16th, 2011.

It’s really easy to make a nomination. Simply use our contact form – found here - to submit the name of your nomination for the Idiot of the Year and the reason why you think your nominee should be selected.

You can also make a nomination for the Idiot Hall of Fame. Any idiot would know you do it the same way. You use the contact form and send the name of the person whom you are nominating along with your reason for nominating that particular Idiot.

So what if you want to nominate yourself? Go ahead…but you have to figure out how to do it on your own. :)

There is only one catch…you have to nominate a bonafide Idiot with an active International Idiots Club membership.

The International Idiots Club meets at Boomerang Billy’s Beach Bar on Saturday and Sunday afternoons on most weekends. You will find us gathering on the beach patio behind the Surf Inn around 1:00 PM.

International Idiots Club Boot Camp Competition

The Idiots Club Boot Camp is coming in just a couple months, at the end of May 2011. While nothing set in stone yet, the plan is to feature competition in three military style games: water pistol marksmanship, grenade toss, and an obstacle course. The date will be set soon. We are hoping that Memorial Day weekend will be available at Boomerang Billy’s Beach Bar behind the Surf Motel.

Leslie’s Mexican Toga Party and Winter Olympics

February 19, 2011 By International Idiots Club Leave a Comment

The Mexican Toga Party and Winter Olympics will be at Boomerang Billy’s Beach Bar in South Padre Island, TX on Sunday February 27th, 2011. Join us for some fun in the sun -watch the waves, eat some food, have some drinks, listen and dance to the music of Leslie Blasing.

Leslie Blasing’s Mexican Toga Party and Winter Olympic is an annual event that she shares with the International Idiots Club and her friends on South Padre Island and South Texas. She will be serving some tamales, beans, fresh veggies with dip and other things that keep Olympians and spectators strong for this year’s competition.

The food will be served around 12:30 and the Winter Olympic Games will start around 1:30pm. The sign up for the games will start around 1:00. There are a limited amount of contestants that will be allowed to compete in each catagory:

  • Two-Man Bobsled
  • Ice Hockey
  • I-Scream Eating
  • Best Mexican Toga
  • The Famous Two-Man Luge

Balde and Eric from the 1981 Mexican Toga Party

Leslie’s history of the Mexican toga party: It all started 30 years ago at The Blasing Farm outside of Hondo, Texas.  When I was a junior in high school and wanted to have a party after our high school junior/senior play performance of M*A*S*H* (I was Hot Lips!)

At this Toga Party I wanted to serve Mexican food, so I decided to call it a Mexican Toga Party. Around this same time, the steady entourage of friends that werealways at our farm, decided to have certain games with staunch competion  – horseshoes was a mainstay, strobe light tennis, tetherball and other games were added through the years. It is only fitting that these games, food and fun have lasted througout the years and traveling with me all the way down here to the Island. The experience is priceless!!  Make sure you join in as an Olympian or on the sidelines in your Toga cheering on your favorite athletes into the history books for the 30th year celebration!
