When looking for the perfect booze to enrich your night or morning, just follow my easy, one-step process. Look for the “Lightweight Plastic” seal of approval.

Lemonade Tea
If you haven’t done it, mix one part lemonade with one part iced tea. The Arnold Palmer. Delicious. I haven’t tried it with vodka yet, but it’s on the to-do list. Wikipedia: There are five alcoholic variations. The first, known as the “Tom Arnold“, consists of the original iced-tea/lemonade mixture, with vodka added. Another variation, [...]
Back to the K for the same story
DB and I wanted to catch a Royals game Wednesday night. First, we went for drinks and food in Waldo. We had a couple of drinks at Tanner’s before heading next door for Waldo Pizza. Crap beer was $1.25. I chose Old Style. DB chose Schlitz. The Schlitz didn’t make Danny famous, but the Old [...]
You don’t waste booze
Heather spilled her margarita into her Mexican food. The Mexican food was abundant. Tequila never is. Paper plates make decent cups.
My curse on this team continues
We got free tickets to the Royals doubleheader last night. Geoff, Kevin, Dan and I hung out in the parking lot for the first half of the first game before going inside. My camera took a bit of a beating last night. After I took the above shot, I tried to take a timed shot [...]
That’s a frickin’ cold night in April
We went to the Royals game Saturday night. It was cold. We tailgated three hours before the game. [slideshow=1] Highlights – A very obese, yet not quite Mangino-sized, man tailgated 50 yards away. He wore navy blue sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt. – We were at the game three hours early, yet didn’t get in [...]
Don’t confuse the cheap beer drinkers
Natty Light redesigned its can last summer. Within the last month, the new Busch Light cans started showing up in my 30 packs. The result is unacceptable. These cans are way too similar. The fonts are all set at the exact same angle, the amount of blue exposed at the top is almost identical, and [...]
Is that the sound of urine?
Mike, Justin and I hit a couple of bars before the KU game Monday. Justin’s bladder is the size of a shot glass, do we had to duck into The Eldridge Hotel for a bathroom break between bars. The Eldridge is an ancient hotel, and its bathrooms are no exception. The men’s room had two [...]
Among the chaos

Blogging about not blogging
I have some pictures and stories to share from my night in Lawrence for the Jayhawk’s national championship victory. However, I need to regrow some brain cells before I can write good. If I weren’t so confused on the definition of “irony,” I might say blogging about not blogging was ironic.
Podcast: Crap beer and working in fast food
Ian Guerin stops by for a podcast. Topics include: 1. The effect 25 cent PBR draws have on tipping. 2. Do restaurants spit in your food? We came up with a bit more material than I expected, so this is just a part of the conversation. I’ll post the rest later. mp3 file (14:52)
The DMV
I went to the DMV to get my tags renewed today. My Corolla was registered in Riley County, and I needed to change it to Johnson, so there wasn’t much I could do to avoid a physical visit to the DMV. People who go to the DMV have problems. Don’t believe me? Then why is [...]
Free taco!
I’m shocked at the free publicity for Taco Bell’s “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion (bold mine). There has been at least one stolen base in every World Series matchup since 1990. When the first base is stolen, the unit of Yum Brands Inc, will announce a Tuesday afternoon when consumers will be able [...]
Sailor Jerry Reunion
(2:18 podcast) Sailor Jerry kicked my ass into a world of embarrassment last week.
