New(ish) Cocktail
Combine over ice in a shaker:
- 1.5 shot Vodka
- 1 teaspoon or so Absinthe
- Juice of half a lemon
- A half shot simple syrup
- A few cut-up mint leaves
Stir that shit real good. Real good. Soak that mint. Mmm. Yeah. That’s it.
Meanwhilst, smash up some ice in a metal coffee tumbler using the business end of a metal garlic mincer. Put your smashed up ice in a medium Zombie glass.

My Top 40 of 2009

It’s hard to count records like The Conet Project on equal footing, because the crazy number of short tracks skews the numbers, making me look...
Single Malt Scotch + Doritos
You’d think it wouldn’t work, I know. But if you get past that thinking, really work at it, really push through that attitude, there’s a point at which you start thinking, “Hey. Hey, hold on a second. Now hold on just one second. You know what? This might actually work. Yes. Yes. This really could work.”
But it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work at all....
1982 NFC Championship
On NFL Network (or whatever it’s called) right now. Oh, precious bedridden Baby Jeezy in a Bill Belichick Flashdance sweatshirt, it’s a Kristmist miracle. So beautiful. Your broadcast team: Vin Scully and Hank Stram — the 80s NFL TV equivalent of Dylan Thomas and Lou Costello.
When this game happened, I’d only recently turned 12 years old, and was watching on a B&W...

Absurd. Funny. Irreverent. Bordering on offensive. Tales From the Fridge (the first video campaign here) is a fucking awesome advertising quadfecta. Or whatever. Trifecta +1. Something. Watch it.

“Really?”
“Yeah. Now go get me another Coors Light.”

“I have to laugh.”
– Carl Spackler
I’m not kidding when I say, I honestly think this might be the funniest line ever delivered in movie history. And yet, after having seen Caddyshack like 9000 times, I only just realized this tonight. I cannot stop laughing.
Christmas is ruined.
