A friend from college went to work for AB. She told me years ago that anyone can brew an off beer and call it character but it takes skill to make the same beer, same quality, same taste year after year.

Don't forget the hybrid beer douche. That's the guy who comes in stroking his carefully groomed chin pubes, looking to get blasted on some 849% ABV microbrew only six people on a commune have heard of. He gives me an incredulous eyeroll when I tell him to choose from the 145 beers I do actually carry. Sorry, buddy,…

It seems like you're saying a Budweiser's ABV is a strike againt it; Guinness is a great beer with less alcohol than Bud. There are plenty of things to complain about w/r/t Bud, but ABV seems like an odd choice.

If all there is, is beer, and it's a choice between the stuff that tastes and smells like pre-vomit, and the stuff that's made to be fussed over, I'll take the stuff that's made to be fussed over every time. Even if it comes complete with a guy with a pretentious waxed moustache trying to talk to me about its…

The core of the Budweiser ad is thus the unspoken implication that yer not a real man's man with a pickup and a dashboard Jesus and a gun rack if you drink anything other than what essentially amounts to carbonated sheep's urine with an almost-negligible alcohol content.

I think "Austin is weird" should come with the caveat "—for Texas."

It goes back even farther than that, Before refrigeration, fish was transported in sour rice as a way to preserve them. But then, poor buyers of fish decided that it's stupid to just throw away good rice and took that to eat as well.

Hitchcock hated actors and would routinely lie to them about the shots he was doing to make their responses more believable.

Oh. Aquaman. Not blonde. Badass. So it's going to be a Sub-Mariner movie.

I probably wouldn't drive anything. I would be driven. Right into an extermination camp.

Dentist here. I think this article is actually pretty good. The vast majority of dentists I have met are great people but there are some with a stronger profit motive than altruistic motive. Although the title is harsh and I have to fight my urge to defend myself and my profession, I think it's perfectly fine to…

Yielding at stop signs is OK. As for traffic lights...

Mister Softee trucks do not play "Turkey In The Straw"; they play "The Entertainer".

Regarding the nitpicking over "getting to work five minutes late" - many of the jobs listed in the first paragraph are service jobs based around shifts, meaning that when you're late for your shift, the person you're supposed to relieve has to stay late. It's really inconsiderate to your co-workers to be late on a…

I think the water bath is the key to magic flan. The water is keeping the cake batter (on bottom) from getting too hot too fast. At the lower "submerged" temperatures, the baking soda/powder in the cake batter is able to release lots of CO2 bubbles, but the batter isn't actually hot enough to cook yet. So you end…

Take a good hard look at leaders around the world:

Because pizza would sue it for defamation.

I'm curious as to the national as well as ethnic composition of this group, as well. Are we talking about a bunch of White and East Asian, G8 nations, on top of the male composition?

May "Batman Returns" DIAF. Tim Burton turned a dapper, eccentric, intelligent, aristocratic mobster into a sewer-dwelling, sadistic, megalomaniacal mockery of the original. Giant rubber ducky boats....really?

If I was in a bar that played nothing but Garth Brooks and Skynyrd for three hours, my main concern would be how I might return to 2014.
