My dog took one look at this thing and very frankly told me, “There is absolutely no fricken’ way I’m wearing that thing,” except she didn’t exactly use the word fricken’. And in a way, I don’t blame her. She’s told me before that, much like me, she see’s anything more than Yoda Costumes as crossing the line. I respect ...

How does the government expect everyone to spend their unemployment checks? On gold, of course. A “couple of hundred” Gold to Go machines, joining the 35 which already exist in the Middle East, Italy, Spain and Germany, will be installed in the United States, so everyone and their mother can buy 1 gram, 5 gram, 10 gram and 28 gram ...

When I didn’t come home with the ...

You might not have known this but to the beer connoisseur, the finest brews are best served within 30 days of their bottling. So those three year old bottles of Heineken collecting dust in your fridge garage? Yeah, slightly past their prime. But hey, at least the caps are still usable.
