Relaunch

Well, kinda.

I've been away from the blog biz now for a sufficient amount of time to now be practically chomping at the bit to spread my snark throughout this great land of ours (and parts of Canada and Germany).

So prepare to be literarily dazzled by my live blogging of tonight's Muse concert featuring some drunken Irish pop combo at Darth Jerry's Death Star.

Next week will feature my adventures in Washington DC where I try to get a one on one interview with Nobel Peace Prize and future Heisman Trophy award winner Barack Obama. Afterward, I wonder up to Burlington/Waterbury Vermont and try to find the perfect pancake.

Drunk Lunch: Episode 1

Many times during our mutual unemploymentness, The Jester and I have pondered what kind of comedic brilliance would pour out of us after pouring several beers into us at lunch. With employment looming in my all too near future, we finally pulled the trigger.

Thanks to Henk's European Deli and their $3.75 22oz Spaten Optimators for making this happen.


Enjoy!

Thirsty Thursday: Stone 13th Anniversary Ale

OK, it's not Thursday. Sue me.

It pours very dark brown with a solid creamy head. (mark)

It tastes very similar to Stone's Arrogant Bastard. So, if you you that, which I'm not a huge fan of (Lagunita's Hairy Eyeball is better), you will probably like this.

ABV 9.5% so, it's got that going for it, which is nice.

Strong dark malts and strong hops as you would expect from Stone. But I'll wait for the Vertical Epic '09.09.09 to arrive to be overwhelmed.

File Under Food Porn

Because Americans aren't fat enough, KFC has announced a bacon and cheese sandwich that throws out the bun and replaces it with fried chicken breasts. Clear evidence that the fast food companies of American are continuing their policy of MAD --- Mutually Assured Diabetes.

I'm not saying I wouldn't try it. I am a quasi-journalist. Plus it's got bacon.

I'm weak. Someone help me.

clipped from latimesblogs.latimes.com We were dubious when we first read that Kentucky Fried Chicken was coming out with a new sandwich that does away with the bread in favor of two fried fillets. And that the "sandwich" part of the sandwich involved was made of cheese, something called Colonel's sauce .. and bacon?
