Fiona the Bulldog Raffle

This little bulldog pup is named Fiona. She was left unattended by her breeder for three months when she developed sores all over her body, causing her feet to swell up. She was left in a high kill shelter where she was picked up by “Bullies and Bassets,” a dog rescue operation in Florida.
Because bulldogs [...]

JoS. A. Bank Sale

I haven’t really dug into it much, but JoS. A. Bank is having what appears to be a pretty major sale, with up to 50% off on Fall items and 70% off on clearance items. [JosBank.com]

Don’t forget, it’s still Dethroner’s ongoing quest to bring you lions. This case of lion-ry is a little more humiliating, but at least he takes it in stride.

DIY Soviet Lawnmower

Those Russians and their wacky lawnmowers! It’s like a sitcom waiting to happen.
But still there were lucky ones, those who were lucky enough to have a lawn to take care of and time to do this. They wanted to have a lawnmower but couldn’t buy it - nobody sold them, again, because all the [...]

Calorie King’s Mobile Interface

I’m back on the fat horse. Two of my good friends are getting married in later October and since they are die-hard proponents of the “Situation: Awesome” school of event planning, it’s going to be the sort of thing where I can dress up in an outfit all you pricks will make fun of me [...]

Video: Flying Dog Brewery Tour

I don’t know that the Beer Director index of beer-related YouTube videos is very essential, but I could see myself finding a few videos there every once in a while, like this Flying Dog Brewery tour series that is currently their top featured video.
I didn’t realize how vulgar most of the Flying Dog labels actually [...]

Beer Bellies May Be a Myth

According some work done by researchers, the beer belly—or at least the idea that beer and wine specifically show up as pounds over the gut—may be a myth:
There were few heavy drinkers. Just 3% of men drank more than 14 litres of beer in a week and just five women regularly consumed more than 7 [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0

» We just cracked a 750 of “Forêt,” an organic saison from Brasserie Dupont. The reviews on Beer Advocate are sort of mixed, but as far as I’m concerned it’s a knockout: bright, light, full of the best tastes of summer. One of the best saisons I’ve ever had. # 1
