Tonight’s refreshments are: The last gasp of the Old Weller 107, which I have conquered after a long bloody siege. And Negra Modelo for beer, because I made chili. If it really comes down to it, there’s the Evan Williams single barrel Bourbon, vintage 2002. I am going to drink for every dull, pedantic utterance […]
Tonight’s refreshments are: Dubhe Imperial Black IPA, from Colorado’s Uinta Brewery, and our old nemesis the Old Weller 107. If you like your beer sweet, malty, hoppy, death-black and unpronounceable, try the Dubhe. If you feel like a bottle of Bourbon that your uncle William took more than a week to put a dent in, […]
Tonight’s refreshments are: Shift pale lager, from Colorado’s Fat Tire brewery, and Old Weller 107 Bourbon. If you don’t care for weak lager and are bored with overhopped IPAs, try the Shift. If you hate your liver and can’t be bothered with “smoothness” in your whiskey, Old Weller for you. Tonight’s episode of Game of […]
Our latest episode of Game of Thrones begins with an oath sworn, an oath promised, and all looks good. Renly gets his blithe on, offers Cat everything on a plate, pops off his armor, and everything goes to shit in minutes. You’ve got to give credit: those three mooks who charged Brienne in her grief […]
We open this episode of Game of Thrones with a pair of comedy soldiers gossiping in the rain, because this is Shakespeare after all. Yep, fart joke and a piss, this is Henry V, except it’s an American Direwolf in London. This smooth fucker who looks a bit too much like Stannis doesn’t get named, […]
Our ep opens with Jon the Bastard having been kicked like a bag of shit from the woods all the way to the barn. This is pretty much the life of a Stark these days. It turns out the mystery of Craster’s boys isn’t much of a mystery, so it’s a wonder why he’s so […]
Our episode of Game of Thrones begins with Arya, looking emo and pissing in a creek. Yep, that kind of sets the tone. The city watch has sent a pair of utter humps up the king’s road after Gendry, and predictably they get owned and sent packing. This earns Gendry a couple of stares and […]
If they could get away with it, this ep would be called something like “Old Familiar Faces (Not Currently on Spikes)”. We get to catch up with all last season’s survivors, all looking at the same red comet, all wondering what the living fuck they have gotten themselves into. We start with King Joffrey, who […]
For those of you who (a) still miss Warren Ellis’ weekly webcomic Freakangels, and (b) think the image of a terminal psychotic skullfucking a dolphin is a droll one, the nice folks at Avatar have finally started running Crossed: Wish You Were Here. It’s a long-form serialized story set in the world previously explored in […]
The AF2011-A1 Double Barrel Pistol was created, ostensibly, to commemorate the legendary Colt 1911-A1 .45 caliber pistol on its 100th anniversary. It was not created because some gunsmiths using some snappy CAD software figured out that it was physically possible to build a functioning side-by-side double gunburger and therefore it had to be done. Yes […]
