Magic Hat Wacko
Picked this up in a variety pack a while ago.  The first one I started drinking straight out of the bottle, not really paying any regard to the words “beet juice color” until quizzed by others.  So I poured it into a pint and made the beer instantly less appealing.  I ended up drinking 2 of the pink, and this 1 stinks.

In honor of the premiere of season 2 of Jersey Shore tonight, I present my personal version of “Gym. Tan. Laundry.”  What’s yours?

The Gates Mixtape is no Crown Prime Rib Mixtape, but that didn’t stop me from grabbing this from iTunes mid-morning dump.

Happy birthday to me.

GPOYW - Xtreme parenting edition
It’s easy to look at her blue eyes, blonde hair and diva attitude and wonder if there was an accidental switch at the hospital.  But it’s moments like these that let you know a part of yourself will live on in the next generation.  I mean, just look at the level of disinterest in her eyes at what her mom is doing while she rocks the Xbox headset…it’s like looking in a mirror.

What better reason to have another?

  • Me: Are you going to be a good big sister and help tuck your brother/sister in?
  • Daughter: (smile)
  • Wife: Will you sing her Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star?
  • Daughter: No
  • Wife: Will you kiss her goodnight?
  • Daughter: No
  • Me: Will you punch her in the face?
  • Daughter: Yeah......I punch her in the face.

Diners, Driving-Up-Business & Dives

In case you missed it, Diners, Drive-ins & Dives featured four of the non-iconic KC barbecue joints this past Monday.  The first place featured was Smokin’ Guns in North Kansas City, which is probably the barbecue place I frequent second most in the metro.

Smokin’ Guns is only open 11-6 Mon-Fri, so it’s generally never not busy at lunch.  If you get there past 11:30, your chances of actually having a place to sit are risky.  We got there around 11:10 and the line was healthy.  Once in the door, I caught glimpse of a guy in a bright orange polo taking pictures of the menu board with his iPhone.  He had this stupid grin on his face like a kid gets the first time they go to a theme park.

The counter had a little board with pictures of Guy Fieri’s visit.  Apparently the show told them they could expect about a 40% bump in business.  They said it has been more like a 250% spike, which just seems insane.  Sure enough, staff were walking the floor, kicking people out of tables they were trying to squat on.  Once we finished, someone swooped in for our baskets and we made a quick exit.  Naturally, the orange shirt guy was sitting by himself at a four-seater doing some balancing of his check book.  It’s like some people don’t even have to try to be complete d-bags.

I don't shit like this.
