Insane Shit

BrettFavresColonoscopy - July 14, 2022July 13, 2022

Remember that old SNL sketch "Fecal Matter with your Host, Doug Fecal"? No? Yeah I figured it was just me. It was a solid (heh) talk show format with a specialized host and topic. Well, we ain't exactly doing Pod Flies Open around here, but what about in written form,

David Chao’s Hollywood Upstairs Medical College Info Pamphlet 14: Hangover Help From Historical Hordes

The Maestro - April 7, 2022April 7, 2022

Tylenol? Here, take the whole bottle. I know it's probably not strictly ethical for me to give you this many all at once, but we really shouldn't have had all those Bloody Marys hanging out in the pool after playing golf yesterday. I feel just as rough as you are. Take

Drunken Ramblings of a Jew on Christmas / Christmas Eve into Christmas Morning Open Thread

BrettFavresColonoscopy - December 24, 2020December 25, 2020

When I started writing this, it was in the wee hours of Christmas Eve Eve, when the nerdy kids are checking NORAD's Santa Tracker, the kids that bully those kids are starting to sweat a little, and I'm enough cocktails in that I've just started throwing some new combinations together

We can safely expect that'll change tonight, with Jon, Dany,

New Year Resolutions Challenge

ballsofsteelandfury - January 4, 2019December 29, 2018

I asked in the DFO clubhouse if anyone did New Year's Resolutions. The response was basically the banner image. Some choice comments: King Hippo: I made a New Year's Resolution to stop making New Year's Resolutions about 10 years ago. And it stuck! Fuck yo' social rituals of illusory self-improvement. BFC:

Commentist Beer Barrel: Brut Strength

makeitsnowondem - August 22, 2018August 22, 2018

I don't love champagne. That's a hell of a thing to say to you Commentists after being away so long, I know, but it's the only honest way for me to launch back into this. I've had some good champagnes, and they were fine, but I've had to conclude that

Commentist Beer Barrel: Shred the Red

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - March 5, 2018

Good afternoon fellow Beer Barrelites. Once more, Low Commander is here to ramble on about some beer he tried this past week, allowing make it snow to full dedicate himself to his fantastic Oscar's previews. "But if the Oscar's were last night," you might ask, "why are you filling in

Commentist Beer Barrel: Really Deep

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - February 23, 2018February 23, 2018

Greetings Commentists, lurkers, drunkards and all general riff-raff, to another edition of the Beer Barrel. Low Commander here, filling it for make it snow as he prepares for the avalanche of Oscars previews. which turned out to be perfect timing as I found something that I really wanted to share

Commentist Beer Barrel: Hops and Chocolate

makeitsnowondem - February 15, 2018February 15, 2018

I sometimes think we're not experimenting enough, as a society, with hoppy beer. Sure, it seems like someone's cultivated a new hop every month, sometimes bringing brand new flavors to the table, but most brewers seem largely content to let the hops stand on their own, rather than try to

Commentist Beer Barrel: I Told You This One Would Be Cheap

makeitsnowondem - February 1, 2018February 1, 2018

In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Dr. Leonard McCoy, thrown back in time to the 1980s, tells a contemporary materials engineer that, if he accepts Montgomery Scott's detailed formula for transparent aluminum, he will be (in the words of 18th-century playwright Edward Moore) "rich beyond the dreams of avarice." There's

Commentist Beer Barrel: Portrait of a Beer

makeitsnowondem - January 25, 2018January 25, 2018

If I ever tell you there are two kinds of beer I love, I'm bullshitting you. There are a million kinds of beer I love. There's not a BJCP-certified style out there that hasn't produced at least one beer I thought was amazing, and as for off-style beers, well, I

Commentist Beer Barrel: Don’t Haze Me Bro

makeitsnowondem - January 18, 2018January 17, 2018

Hey guys! Remember me? It's make it snow, the beer guy! No, not that beer guy. The alot of beer. Circumstances have conspired -- specifically, they've conspired with my innate laziness -- to keep me away for some time now. A lot's changed, but perhaps most importantly, I'm in Denver
