Happy April! Here are your “March 2011 Fails,” or, “Idiots on Parade.” Favorite moments: 2:50 and 7:05.

Homebrew for Me, Homebrew for You.
Patrick Long Two of my favorite things intersected this week: Beer and politics. On Monday, Governor Kitzhaber signed Senate Bill 444 into law—this is the bill that rewrites the suddenly enforced state law that bans serving homebrew outside the home. Until last summer, the state fair had hosted a homebrew competition for 22 years and […]
I Think We Can All Agree That This Is <Hic> Probably Necessary
And at $2.99 for a pack of 12, a lot of other people must have agreed too, ‘cuz they sold right the fuck out. Still, not a hard thing to replicate…
Can Technology Protect You from Your (Drunken) Self?
I thought it was funny to joke about my iPhone needing a breathalyzer—until someone actually invented one. There are apps that let you block certain contacts for a portion of your evening, and even a Social Media Sobriety Test that plugs into your browser and blocks you from accessing your social media until you’ve passed […]
Blogtown Review: Blast by Colt 45
Here at Blogtown, we are true connoisseurs of the world’s finest spirits. Sixty-year-old Macallan, or a half-finished bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 rescued from a dumpster—actually, if you mix those two together you’ll have a little drink I like to call the “Hobo Billionaire.” No matter what it is, we will drink it. That is […]
Shots with Pee-wee and Andy Samberg (and Chairy)
Because everything’s been coming up Pee-wee lately… what with an incredible interview with Paul Reubens on a special SXSW podcast of Comedy Death Ray and Saturday’s airing of The Pee-wee Herman Show, which is currently on Broadway, let’s watch this funny, ha-ha SNL short. Also, this is a lot like what happened last night at […]

Probably Have To Report This:
Via Portlandfood.org: Stumptown is opening up a bar (and not the coffee-cupping kind) next door to their original location on Division. Construction, they say, is already underway. Lets hope a great Spanish coffee recipe is as well. OK…back to pretending to read manuscripts while watching the NCAA tournament live on my telephone (!).
Master of Domestics
Is it too early on a Tuesday morning to talk about drinking cheap beer? No? Good. Tonight you’ll have the opportunity to put your love of American water-beers to some good use with Master of Domestics, a swill beer taste test. Think you can tell the differences between Pabst, Ranier, Oly, Old German, Hamm’s, High […]
Should the City Close Down Dangerous Bars?
Beau Berkley In this week’s news section, I looked at the OLCC and city’s method of cracking down on “problem bars”—that handful of bars whose liquor license the city asks the state not to renew because they have a “history of serious and persistent problems.” The case in point here is Cabaret, the strip club […]
The Best (Read: Most INSANE) Charlie Sheen Quotes!
UPDATE 12:15 PM: Charlie Sheen just did a rambling, two-part live, unedited 40 minute interview in his backyard with TMZ. Watch the insanity here. ALSO: Charlie Sheen’s publicist quits, so Charlie Sheen fires him. Back to the original post… As briefly mentioned in GMN, Charlie Sheen went on a media rampage this weekend, promising to […]
Your New Oscars Drinking Game
As I’m sure you’ve forgotten, the Academy Awards are this Sunday starting at 5:30 pm. As I’m also sure you’ve forgotten, there’s a little column I write called I Love Television™ that in the current issue spotlights the Oscars and a game for getting completely wasted while watching it. It’s called… WM.™ STEVEN HUMP-ME’S ACADEMY […]
