Nice.

On that note, the trailer for Bob Odenkirk's new movie Let's Go To Prison seems right up your, um, alley. Looks like it has a "My Name is Earl" tone.

Sometimes your commentary is so right on scares me.

The original recipe for the French 75 is the best piece of artillery the French ever made--dating back to WWI, when the French actually made artillery:

4 oz Champagne
1/4 oz gin
1/4 oz Cointreau
1/4 oz lemon juice

Shake gin, Cointreau, and lemon juice with cracked ice, strain into chilled flute. Top with chilled champagne, and garnish with lemon twist.

In a truly just world, the instant this pumpkin-flavored abomination touched your lips a giant can of Milwaukee's Best would crush you.

Right on, H.D. Time for a bourbon on the rocks.
