Okay, so once again, I'm sorry that I couldn't get pictures to you guys earlier, but here we go.
First Shot was Cuervo 1800 Reposado
The Box's contents Having been packed lovingly by Sayan Sudoku
Betty looking into Mexico As of this week, you need a passport to get across and I never bothered to get one, so Betty stayed stateside (and safe)
Down in the West Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl (yes the real one from the song)
Me with the owner of Rosa's Cantina (old family friends)
My wife taking her shot (Don Julio Reposado)
Old Mesilla, New Mexico Supposedly where Pat Garrett gunned down Billy the Kid
Betty and I toasting you guys and Duzi's grandfather
Future SHOTT Member (friends daughter)
Mt Cristo Rey The cross is in TX, NM, and Mexico at the same time.
What I added Univ. of Texas at El Paso coozie, Rosa's Cantina shirt, Mexico bumper sticker, Scorpion lollipop, and El Paso post cards (I sent one to Merrill).
I kept the Yes & Know book, one of the two Zombie Extermination Squad patches, the Zapps chips, & the Venture Bros bookmark. I will forward the board game to Duzi when it's finally done. I'm sorry the next few people will miss out. If you would like to get it and then forward it to Duzi, PM me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and I love being #69!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun Fiery.
So, I wasn't able to do everything that I wanted to do with Betty, but it was a fun time, nonetheless.

SwimmerHood Origins
Welcome to the SwimmerHood Of The Traveling Shotglass!
The History of SHOTTS:
On October 1, 2006, [adult swim] ran an essay contest in order to give away one very special owl shotglass from their hallowed halls to someone else's grubby paws.
The cost : 33 words on why the author deserved the priviledge.
On October 8, 2006, the contest was closed and the winner and her winning essay were announced during the Sunday Viewer Bumps :
"if i won the glass, id take my shot and send it to another [as] fan.
they would do the same.
it would be like that stupid traveling gnome.
only better and stuff."
[duzitickle]
and so, the Swimmerhood was born.
Anniversary Celebration Fun Time:
Rules and Regulations to join this Journey:
When [adult swim] awarded the shotglass, they set forth two rules that we must all adhere to :
1. You Must send it to another [as] fan.
2. You Must wash it before you send it.
They know their fans too well.
And over the course of this long and winding journey, further rulings have been made by the Committee of Stuff to help ensure the safety and continuation of this little social experiment :
* Please use FedEx or UPS. This is too important for normal U.S. Postal. Not only that, but carrier services like FedEx and UPS offer tracking numbers as part of their service
without any additional charges. Tracking numbers = peace of mind.
* If you want your shot with the glass, you MUST post in the official [as] swimmerhood thread asking for it from the person who will be sending it.
The point of things is to be inclusive and not exclusive so all gimme-gimme's have to be done in the public eye of the official [as] swimmerhood thread and not hiding in the land of PMs and IMs.
* The last person chosen chooses the next person, through many different means. Please be fair and just. This also keeps things from cycling among only a few people.
* If someone chooses you, and you accept, you MUST post your promise to continue the shotglass on its journey.
[as] made that as Rule One and it's important enough to repeat.
* Keep us up to date, if you happen to have the glass or are receiving it so we wont freak out. 'cuz we will. Seriously.
* You must be PM system available to be in this Swimmerhood. There's reasons behind this :
- the minimum age for the boards is 13. If someone sent a shotglass and box full of mystery crap to a 13, 14, 15 year old...well, the worse case scenarios are all bad.
- there is limited personal info exchanged that under no circumstances should ever be put on the boards proper. Ever. We're talking mailing infos which once again is not
something that anyone here should be getting from a youngster. Said mailing info is only done between the one shipping to the next-in-line and no one else. So, lets keep
this 18+, for all our sakes.
* Everyone who's had their shot from the glass needs to be noted, to avoid repeats. And that's not just for our records, WS likes to laugh at the list too.
* Please dont take this wrongly folks.. you need to be an established member of the boards to be in line for this.
If we dont know ya.. how can we be sure that you have the same intentions regarding [as]?
If you're not established.. it's an easy enough fix. 
The only difference between newbie and old hat is merely time.
* We need a list of everyone who's had it and the next ones in line, etc. 'cuz we all like to keep good records about stuff like this.
It also helps to keep things on-track on those occasions where holidays and shipping delays conspire to make us forgetful.
* If you're chosen, but fail to log onto the boards for 2 weeks after being chosen to accept, your spot will be forfeited and the chooser chooses again. This is also to help keep
things rolling along regularly.
* There will be no trading promises of sex for the shotglass. NO NOOKIE! period. 
this rule is no using the shotglass as an "athletic supporter" either.
* When the shotglass journal gets full, the whole box goes back to duzitickle for journal replacement and general swag pull.
The shotglass then goes back on the trail while WS recieves their own box of travel momentos and a complete update of the adventures thus far.
* When the Hot Shotts List reaches 100 official members, older members can reapply to host again [same rules apply] and participate in contests for reals.
But the emphasis will always be on newer members getting spots. Consider the Host recycling as a means to keep the shotglass in circulation instead of sitting on her
bubble.
* Should this experiment in trust, travel, and [as] glass-related shenanigans draw to an official close, the shotglass, journals, and box o' swag go back to WS via duzitickle.

You have a cow named Sedai.
Yes, yes I do.
I'm just sad that she lost her nametag so you can't actually see "SEDAI" there for yourselves.
Of course, what I really wanted for that shot was a nice pastoral scene with Betty sitting on the fencepost and the cows just laying around and grazing in the background. But as soon as we went out into the pasture, the morons all had to come charging over to see what we were up to. It was just lucky that Sedai happened to come right over so she could be front and center for the pictures.
holki: Yeah, the little fuzzball wasn't too impressed, but at least he was sitting still for the picture. He was sort of looking Betty over a little bit, but unfortunately he didn't keep it up long enough to snap the picture.
venus: Yes, her name is Fondle. We have to get kind of creative with calf names after going through so many.
Glad you all like the pics. I've got a few more on my camera from our adventures tonight (and a couple from last night that I forgot to upload), but you'll have to wait until tomorrow when I'm not all tired and stuff to see those.

Shotts #45, Part 2
I come bearing pictures of Betty's first day out on the farm! Huzzah!
Betty meets a new friend
Who apparently wants to take a shot
With more friends (that's Sedai there with no yellow eartag)
NOM NOM SHOTGLASS
Sedai is looking totally uninterested
Kitty!!!!!
In the driver's seat of a 1959 International Cub Loboy
It's a cute old tractor
Vroom vroom
Let's play Find the Shotglass!
Can you see it yet?
There it is!
Big tractor, little shotglass
I hope she's not afraid of heights
Resting on a straw bale
Another one on the straw bale
Yay straw
And this is just hilarious
Yay!
(And fear not, Betty is getting a thorough washing after her adventures out on the farm.)

Meat shot... o.O The rules clearly state that the shotglass is NOT to be used as an athletic supporter!!! I'm telling someone!
Ewwwwwwwwwww...
Good news, everyone! A large suspicious-looking cardboard box was placed on my doorstoop this morning! As soon as I make sure it's not a terrorist, I'll be breaking into it and pawing through the goodies that may or may not be inside.
Also, in a happy stroke of luck, Metatronda is going to be here visiting for a few days this week. So he'll get to be in on the shotglass goodness too.
