. . Behold our future overlords, the Nano Quadrotors.  While I’ll admit that this is very cool, I can now plainly see a day in the not-too-distant future where the “intelligent” little gadgets we create wind up snuffing us out (especially as we get fatter and dumber while out technology becomes free-roaming and autonomous).  It [...]

This is kind of fun.  Use you initials to find your blues name.  Mine is Old Harp Jones.  I wonder if that meand I’m a big fan of Harp Lager.  Perhaps I should try one someday. It is simple choose your first initial from the first list second from the second, etc. Let me know [...]

This is a hip x-ray.  Why would I be showing a hip x-ray on a beer and whiskey blog?  Well, because it happens to mean a lot to Jim and I right now.  Our Mother who is now flying solo since Dad’s exit from this mortal coil in August, is in need of a new [...]

I recently stumbled across this video shot at the Utah State library, exploring the question of whether or not women and men can be “just friends.”  In a nutshell the answer is “no,” mostly because guys always have their eyes on the prize, and the prize isn’t a gossip session over vanilla latte’s. Sorry ladies!

Well this is disturbing. Even if you see the gag before you touch the screen, try it anyway – it’s still waaaay creepy. You can almost feel that fella’s tongue.  Ewww! Have a great weekend and drink something good!

When someone says “It’s the Cadillac of…” you know they are saying it’s the best, the most feature-rich and the most prestigious of its peers. The phrase is used to describe something that provides both pampering and pride, something that probably exceeds your needs and will make those around you green with envy.  Of course [...]

. I’m not ever sure where to start, but this may be the best television commercial I’ve ever seen. All I’ll say is click play – I’d hate to spoil a minute of it.  Check out the stuffed Don that makes an appearance at about 0:35. Thanks to Mathew Molde for sharing this on our [...]

I posted the other day about how it’s Novembeard, a time to celebrate the manly joys of growing facial hair.  Apparently the Boy Scouts got the memo.  Check out their latest ad campaign from the folks over at Ogilvy.  Manly boys! I was a Boy Scout for a while when we lived in Iowa in [...]

I’ll admit that I have a guilty pleasure – snarky pop culture blogs like WWTDD and The Superficial.  I’m not sure why Tom Cruise gay rumors or the downward spiral of Lindsay Lohan capture my attention, but I like to think it’s because I’m a vapid American who prefers to fill his head with junk [...]

. . I’ve seen this link floating around the Interwebs lately, but didn’t click on it until this morning – this is totally nuts! Some dude with too much money, talent, time and technical skills wired his entire house to “sing” This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas.  You gotta see it to believe [...]

. . Ever wonder how the more-huggable of the bros spends his afternoons (when he should be here, fielding your comments)?  Well, this might answer that question. What is it with this site and bears, anyway?! . . .

Ever wondered what would happen if you tied your trusty chainsaw to a rope and swung it around your head to trim your hedges?  Well wonder no more! From the looks of this video, it appears that you’d lose a leg one-out-of-three times you attempted it, which means this genius only has two more tries [...]

Before I had kids, I had no idea what a problem peanut allergies have become.  Now it seems that every class my kids are in and every sports team they are on includes at least one child with a dangerous allergy to nuts. One trace of peanut protein can cause an allergic child to swell [...]

If you ever wanted to know what Don was like as a cub, here’s your chance.  This video was taken when he was just a baby and wandered away from Mama Bear at the Pick ‘N Save.  This was also the last time he ate vegetables.  Okay, so this might be recent video of a [...]
