“Who’s foot is this?” “Who’s butt is this?” “GET YOUR FOOT OUT OF MY BUTT!” Hot tubs are great. They keep you warm in times of cold, they keep girls bikini’d in time of sweaters, and they keep everyone sickeningly close in times of societal standards for personal space. Â And on top of all that, [...]

I consider myself a novice mixologist. Of course, by “noviceâ€, I mean “terribleâ€, and by “mixologistâ€, I mean “person to make your next drinkâ€. This is because of my sense of adventure and complete disregard for recipes. For all the bad, hurtful things you can say about my creations, though, I’ve never made one I [...]

So, vodka’s supposed to be a neutral spirit, right? What little taste and smell it has disappears almost completely when it’s used in mixed drinks so it the perfect alcohol for people who don’t like alcohol. At least that’s how I understand it. I’ve never developed much of a taste for vodka. I just don’t [...]

We all have that little dream, don’t we? To cash in whatever savings we’ve been building for retirement and open up a business devoted to [insert your favorite hobby here]. For me, it’s a brewery. I’d love to chuck it all and just brew great beer. For Don Poffenroth, it was vodka and he didn’t [...]

What’s James Bond’s favorite drink? C’mon, say it with me: Vodka martini. Shaken, not stirred. That line is so famous one could be forgiven for thinking that the world’s best known employee of MI-6 drinks nothing else. Not so.

You know that scene that seems to show up in every cop movie or TV show where the cops approach the old cellmate of their main suspect? The guy is always still in jail and the suspect apparently shared a vital piece of information to the cops’ case with him. The cellmate asks for a [...]

My grocery store sells peeled boiled eggs. I was stunned when I came across these little jewels of ridiculousness and had to inspect them. They come two to a pack and are wrapped in plastic, which means that you have to exert roughly the same amount of effort in getting them out of the plastic [...]

This is a surprising move for those of us who live in countries where beer as been regulated along with, and sometimes even more strictly than, other alcoholic beverages. It’s not surprising that the Russian government is classifying beer as alcohol, it’s that heretofore it didn’t. So, what was it, if not alcohol. Pop? An [...]

I suppose it should be obvious. Soaking your feet, or any other part of your body, in booze won’t get you drunk. Makes sense, right? I mean, we all know that an important step towards inebriation is the swallowing of alcohol. Without the swallowing bit, you’re only making yourself a little stinky. But, a long [...]
