Today marks the 75th anniversary of the ratification of the 21st amendment, which repealed prohibition! And just to rub it in the face of all of those righteous teetotalers out there, I’d like to point out that our society has not crumbled beneath the weight of unbridled drunkenness. Personally, I celebrate the repeal of prohibition […]

Don’t Go There!
This site, says one of our tech guys, makes him want to “quit the internet entirely.” DO NOT GO HERE. It is called “1 Man 1 Jar” and it’s WORSE than that two-girls-one-cup video. Much, much worse. You have been warned. P.S. Tell us in the comments if you went there anyway.

Holiday Ale Fest
At five o’clock in the evening in Pioneer Square, I learn that I’ve missed the media event for the Holiday Ale Fest. I’m a bit hung-over from a birthday celebration the night before (from which I have dim memories of taking off my clothes while singing a karaoke version of The Piano Has Been Drinking […]

Rambo + Jingle Bells = A Happy Holiday
Sure, mashing up ultra-violent Rambo clips with “Jingle Bells” may not be the most creative pairing ever… but goddamn if it doesn’t work every time.

Please Don’t Do This to Your Butt
I don’t care how big a fan you are of Jackass, the supposed new body piercing trend is just, erm, well, it’s NSFW, that’s for sure, and NSF the squeamish either. (Hint: Your are looking at the piercee from behind in this video.) Anyhow, that video is so 2007, etc, etc, but as with all […]

Happy Birthday to…
I’d like to give a big shout out to a very important person who was born on this date, not so very long ago! It’s Britney, bitch! For her 27th Birthday, she decided she wanted a comeback. Here she is this morning, performing Circus on Good Morning America. I love grainy video of Brit. It […]

Chainsaw Bayonet Assault Rifle: Awwwwesome!
Apparently there was some kind of bogus rumor about a “YouTube Virus” running around the inter-tubes today, inspiring our tech crew to issue a stern warning not to embed any YouTubes on our site until further notice. Happily, the ban has now been lifted, and I can finally show you the most awesome weapon of […]

Bloody Freakin’ Birthday, Baby!
Tracking down a cocktail’s provenance is a tricky business to be sure. To begin with, the history of mixed drinks is oft viewed through eyes clouded by its subject. Also, a cocktail’s origin is commonly obscured by rowdy bartenders who contentiously claim to be the progenitors of the drink in question. I most often defer […]

Smokin’ Teardrop Lounge in the NY Times
I was hanging out in the Teardrop Lounge last Tuesday before, and after, going to witness the awesome R. Buckminster Fuller: THE HISTORY (and Mystery) OF THE UNIVERSE at Portland Center Stage. While enjoying a fine cocktail from Teardrop’s new winter menu, I talked with part owner David Shenaut. David and I talked a good […]
