Hey - Beer Man!

This site dedicated to my heroes...the beer vendors of Wrigley Field. Unfortunately my favorite vendor, Louie, is not featured. He was probably at a nascar event when the photos were taken.

Pazen's "special friend" finally hits the web

Damn. I was trying to convince Jesse "Beautiful Soul" McCartney to let me videotape him tattooing "PAZEN" onto the inside of his lip, but this guy beat me to the punch with the tribute.

Die Wagenschenke

It's the flash-based, alcohol-fueled, fun-to-say game that's sweepin' the nation. Who cares if you don't read German? This game speaks the international language of "drunk-stumble." Those wacky Swiss!

Prepare to waste your afternoon. Post your personal best stumble in the comments.

...But Are You Billy Dee Smoove?

I think this might be an oldie, but how could you get sick of:

Gates and Brokaw blow off $6 coffee tab

Therefore, as a service for potential victims of very rich people pretending to be normal people doing normal things in real places, we offer the following suggestions. Make a quick assessment of the coherence and competence of the entourage(s). You're looking for a harrassed but authoritative-looking person, possibly with a clipboard, barking orders - she (it quite frequently is she) may well order someone to give you $50 in order to get rid of you. In the case of the particular Watertown incident our guess is that the Gates entourage probably was not the one to approach; we've noted that Microsoft entourages, though frequently quite large, tend toward the uncoordinated.

Jack Osborne enters Rehab

At the tender age of 17, Jack Osborne has entered rehab. Sharon and Ozzy beamed proudly, "It takes a lot of courage and strength to admit you need help" or maybe just a pair of permissive, indulgent parents providing a horrible example.

Argentina Grocery

Val and Jeff went to Argentina and marvelled at the advancements in liquid-refreshment grocery-stocking techinques.

Although she will claim otherwise, I've heard that Val took the missing bottle of "minerva" off the shelf "just to fuck with them."

CheapoVegas

In honor of the 2nd somewhat House 8-ish trek to Vegas (now with 100% more Chris!),

Bellagio review from Cheapo Casino Boy:

Rooms are fantastically lush and spacious at about
550 s.f., and the suites are even bigger and nicer. Of
course, you've got to be a freakin' Rockefeller to get
a suite. Tasteful furnishings, marble floors in the
john, and all kinds of stuff the rich are used to but
we still gawk at. The bathrooms have showers separate
from the tubs, so you can sit in the tub and watch
someone shower like rich people always do.

Vegas baby, Vegas.

Hobos Fight Gingivitis

Hobos learn the wonders of mouthwash...not only does it make their shakes go away when they can't buy booze, but it's legal to drink in public, has more alchol content than wine and leaves them w/ minty fresh breath.

FULL PINTS

Britain has announced that it will prosecute pubs that fail to fill pints 95% of the way to the rim, up from 90%. Apparently, this beer-to-foam ratio has been debated for years. Blair has now promised a full pint in his re-election campaign. I mean how awesome is Britain...making sure that you get a full glass of beer. Why can't the US be this cool.

Man Gets D-W-I Charge at Drive-thru

Binghamton, New York -- He probably just wanted a late-night snack -- but instead, a Binghamton, New York, man got himself a trip to jail.

Police say they found him dozing behind the wheel of his car as it idled at the drive-through speaker of a closed Burger King.

He's been charged with driving while intoxicated.

Top DUI Cop Was Drunk When He Died

One of the top drunken-driving enforcement officers with the Lake County Sheriff's Office had nearly three times the legal level of alcohol in his blood when he died in a one-car accident last year, officials said Thursday.

Sheriff's Deputy Philip John Santucci, who was a member of the sheriff's accident-investigations unit, was driving about 30 m.p.h. over the speed limit and was not wearing a seat belt when he died Dec. 19.

< -snip- >

"I'm not good with poetic words, but I will say that we all learned a lot from Phil Santucci in life," Eckenstahler said. "Unfortunately, we learned even more in his death."

The Most Important Weapon of All

ABOARD THE USS CARL VINSON
(Reuters) -- The essential ingredient of "beer night" was loaded Friday onto this U.S. aircraft carrier stationed in the northern Arabian Sea for the American bombing raids on Afghanistan, and one could detect a sense of relief all around.
Crates containing almost 10,000 tins of Foster's, Heineken, Coors and Budweiser beers were ferried over from a supply ship, cruising parallel to this immense floating fortress, for the night next week when those aboard can have a beer.
