I spent far too much time turning the helmet on the left into the helmet on the right, but my girlfriend is going as a generic scantily-clad future warrior and I got all caught up in making her look properly post-apocalyptic. You can’t really see it, but there are 15 LEDs on the forehead arranged […]

One of the first “weird” beers many deign to try is a pumpkin ale, a relatively common seasonal variety that should be firmly in stores these shortened days. The problem with pumpkin ale is that most of the ones I’ve tried have been pretty horrid, either blandly vegetative or not tasting of pumpkin at all, […]

Ryan “Mean” Ashmore has generously volunteered to run our very first game in the Dethroner Forums: Werewolf, a game of deceit, duplicity, and gore. Played as it is online, Werewolf is the perfect thing to while away those boring office hours, needing as it does only a few minutes of interaction a day.
If you’re interested […]

During an—ahem—spirited discussion on the Dethroner Forum about the death of the classic cocktail, it was discovered that there is a name for putting a shot of vodka in a glass of beer: “yorsh.”
According to Wikipedia, yorsh is of Russian origin, typically drunk after a toast in one quick, throat-burning chug. As Dethroner Forum member […]

Ignoring the shudder-worthy juxtaposition of coochie coloring creme and the term “no-drip formula,” I can completely support this new line of hair coloring from Betty, aimed at ladies who want to sass up their Sally Struthers. (If you know what I mean. [I mean their cunt hairs.]))
Probably would work for men, too, but everybody knows […]

My question is: how does one properly iron a dress shirt? I don’t feel like sending them to the drycleaners when I have all the equipment and a functioning pair of hands. I can work on a car, surely I can make my shirts pristine and wrinkle free.
Ironing isn’t hard in theory. […]

The dog, weighing well over 100 pounds, has become stuck to the inside of the freezer. “We’re going to have to let him thaw a little,” says the owner of the pet crematorium, shoving the chest freezer out of the garage into the sunlit parking lot of the office park.
It’s one of the biggest dogs […]

When my pop last visited us he bought Porter a rope toy pretty similar to the one pictured here. Porter loves it—it’s the only toy he’ll seek out and bring to me, growling and whipping its knots into my shins to provoke me to play. Porter, being a bulldog, isn’t exactly built for stamina, either, […]

I listened this story yesterday and didn’t even think about linking it up here on Dethronoid, despite the fact that it: Involves a dog; Involves psychedelic toads. Clearly my already slack nature was distracted in my investigation into owning a breeding pair of bufo alvaris, or Colorado River Toads. (It looks like too much work […]

It’s the great shame of the season that dozens of pumpkins go to waste, mangled into candle-lit Bat-Signals and leering grotesques left to rot in the frost. When Thanksgiving rolls around and we turn solemnly inward to reflect on our united need for pie, all the good pie pumpkins are gone.
Take heed, pie folk! By […]

I recently stopped a dinner conversation cold with my proclamation that I would, after my bulldog Porter’s demise, like to have his skeleton mounted. Everyone around the table at King Yum paused to stare at me while I quickly tried to shore up my position.
“It’s not like I want him to die,” I reminded them. […]
