Trade Whiskey

Last night I went to this place called The Fort and drank something known as Trade Whiskey, which is flavored with red pepper, tobacco, and gunpowder. It was pretty good, and this morning I woke up with long, luxurious chest hair.

Hint

I may have gone on record saying the ultimate drink is probably just plain old water, preferably really really cold and maybe even right out of the tap, depending on your plumbing sitch. And last night I was super-thirsty but too busy sleeping to get something to drink, Q.E.D. I was super-thirsty in my […]

Richmond: Where are you at?

The K4T Volvo makes its next stop in Richmond, VA. Information I am hoping someone can provide:

Vitamin Water Formula 50

OK chum I gotta just quickly chime in on the whole Vitamin Water thing. I mean it’s this thing. These babies are everywhere. I feel like they’re going to supplant the whole Snapple stranglehold, given enough marketing dollars. I know you’ve already submitted your review but I need to deposit my fitty cents.

Obsessive Cream Soda Ratings

Treasure trove of cream soda reviews released from hard drive.
Cream soda is one of those beverages that I have no qualms with, yet never drink. Like root beer. Or grape soda. Or strawberry soda. What beverages do you not drink, I wonder. [Thanks Michelle.]
