American Craft Beer Week

I love beer. Really, I do. I drink much less of it than I used to, but then again, I used to drink beer to get drunk. Now, I drink beer for the taste. I rarely get drunk anymore. I’m all about the good beers now, no Natural Light or Meister Brau bullshit.

This week is American Craft Beer Week. In their list of “top 24”, they actually have some of my favorites. Some of my favorites not on the list: Guiness Draught, Brooklyn Pennant Ale, and Blue Point Blueberry Ale.

Ah well, I’m sitting here actually sipping a Corona at the moment for lack of any better beer in the house. None the less, as I look at the list of great beers I’m getting more and more thirsty, so I must bring this blog entry to a close. 🙂

“Whoops I don’t have $10 million!”

So by now you have heard that John Schneider’s 1969 Dodge Charger – one of the many “General Lee’s” out there – was up for sale on eBay. Bids were coming in at several million dollars, until one guy bid $10 million for it. There’s a funny thing about bidding. You can sort of just yell out whatever the hell it is you want, and then you win, assuming no one out bids you. That’s what this guy did, and now according to TMZ, he can’t pay.

First of all, even as a huge fan of the Dukes of Hazzard, a 1969 Dodge Charger – even with the 440 and signed by John Schneider isn’t even worth a million, in my opinion. This is what you do. Go on eBay, and spend $30,000 for a 1969 Dodge Charger in excellent condition. Then, repaint the fucker, spend another $10,000 for a great engine, and boom, you have yourself a General Lee for less than $50,000. Then, you can drive it to the annual Hazzard event in Georgia, and get it signed by the cast. Problem solved. Saved just under $10 million.

Paris Hilton, Inmate #9424185

I don’t care if you like her or don’t like her, you’ve heard by now that she’s going to jail. I think this will be a good dose of reality for her. To see what the rest of society is like. To see what a jail cell might be like. To see just how far that holier-than-tho attitude of hers will get her. Damn, it’s going to be an interesting 45 days, isn’t it? Sadly, this is going to make her even more popular – isn’t that just the best irony? I’m sure some of you might want to write to her, so now is your chance! Send all correspondence to:
