We start to run into a problem similar to that of Coke’s, which is creativity purely for creativity’s sake; let me explain. In truth, I’m guilty of this myself; part of the creative process involves trial and error, and I&#82...

In fairness, it’d been a long day, and there’s also something to be said about the basic social contract and general etiquette in which we all tend to agree that spending all day. I find myself with a fairly expansive and modestly impressive bar-cart of booze; I’m told there are worse jobs to take home with you. A “dry” martini is technically a reference to using...Have, I c...

https://myfavoriteamendment.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/the-beginners-guide-to-beer

Have a vodka and sprite! Caught up in the details (first quiz question: spell. The Beginner’s Guide to Beer: Episode IV. Top-fermenting yeasts give us, first...

Like all good little memes before it, as well as all those yet-unknown flavor of the month internet virals yet to come, the “Shit Say” video meme (see: “ meme. 8220;) has quickly spread to encompass pretty much every conceivable corner and demographic on the web by now.
