Little Scamp Causes Full Minute of Dead Air on NPR on Take Your Child to Work Day
Ummm, that is take your child to work day! Here at the main control board of USS Maddogslair, we don't hold much to etiquette, or anything else truthfully. So, while take your child to work day was yesterday, we slept through it. Instead we will be taking our child(s) to work today! Mostly because they are off school for one of the myriad teacher don't have to work days. I'm hoping they are up for a pint of bourbon each, that is my minimum RDA while helming the USS Maddogslair, no shirking just because they are only 16 and 17! Oh, and ground jerky sticks, I usually knock down a good half dozen, but hey, I won't expect a novice stomach to handle that much meat flavored pressed wood pulp, or whatever these things are made of. With the Maddogsson in Marine Corps Boot Camp, I am especially glad they do not have a take your father to work day. My bourbon/jerky soaked body ricocheting off that much exercise might trigger a thermobaric explosion sufficient to take down the entire MCRD base! Anyway, here's hoping my little scamps can cause as much chaos and confusion as the NPR scamps! If take your child to work day isn't designed to allow your kids create all the chaos you aren't allowed to cause, what is it for? If you don't understand the lede, ask an Irishman or Scotsman to read it to you.

Venezuelans Face a New Threat – a Beer Shortage
Up till now Portlandia's hipsters haven't shown even the vaguest interest in Venezuela, but this should change all that in a New York minute. No Portlandian hipster worth his vintage cloths could live through a beer shortage. In Portlandia, such an event could cause a tectonic shift sufficient to trigger the long over due Richter 9 earthquake the scientists are always going on about. There is more below the break. Amazing photos capture how faces change after 1, 2 and 3 glasses of wine
. . . and 2 is second best. Be careful here, more is not better, unless you like maudlin drunks. These photos reveal my anecdotal thoughts after dating hundreds of women. Most do best with 3 drinks, a significant but smaller group do better with 2. Very few do better with 4, and all bets are off after that. Even Moonshine Is Going Upscale With Funky Flavors and Tasting Sessions
"Guys, we nailed this one,” said “tastemaker” Josh Madore of Sugarlands Distilling Co., as he poured thimble-sized shots of butterscotch moonshine for a group on a recent afternoon. “It tastes exactly like the bottom of grandma’s purse.'" Purse? No. Boot lost in the hog stye 3 years ago, maybe, although I would probably take the boot over moonshine. Serve it up with a side of moldy collard greens. "Leonette Ware and Rhonda McKinnon, sisters from east Tennessee, did a tasting at Sugarlands during a birthday trip. Ms. Ware described the flavors as “more vibrant” than those she had tasted at other distilleries." Apparently "vibrant" is a synonym for nasty in Tennessee. Who knew? Please go try this dreck, and report back to Maddog on your findings, write a tasting review, if you survive the experience. I would happily post it on the back of your tombstone. But please do not expect Maddog to partake. I am old enough, and have enough money to buy budget whiskey which when compared to this dreck, becomes fine sipping whiskey, er whisky, er whatever . . . |
