I don't recall ever being offered a drink during any of my ER visits. Really could've used one, too, as I was usually losing my buzz by the time I got there.

Deadspin? Ok. Foodspin? This needs to be its own blog. Consistently grade-A, easily the best part of the site.

A man must show a dong...

Renly agrees! He demands meat sceptors!
