Mmmmmm..... beeeeeeeeerrrr.....

Since we've nearly plowed through May and Summer is just around the corner (even though it's raining?!?), I give you three beer links:

Beer in the News.


Beer and Baseball.


Beer and the housing market.
























"I stubbed my toe on the kitchen sink.
I was just gonna go get me somethin' to drink.
My cigarette flew and it couldn't be found!
Lucky I didn't burn your whole house down.

Quietly here I'll sleep.
I won't even make a peep.
You won't even know I'm here.
Just letting you know that we're out of beer.

I'm couch surfin'!"

Simplicity

As the summer blockbuster season is among us and big-budget Visual Effects will splash across (and out of) theater screens across the country, remember that just about any one-legged Mexican monkey with a computer and some spare time can do this stuff nowadays. I sometimes long for the time when Visual Effects took lots of planning and were executed like this.

Those were times when one ordered a Martini, it would generally be served on the rocks.

Also, I read Vanity Fair™, so you don't have to. Thanks for bullet-point #5, Tony.


































"Dirty, dry up, or in between,
From the very first sip you know what I mean.
When you're out with a babe you don't nickel or dime,
Guessin' that means it's martini time. "

Lessons in Alcohol

We don't always have stupid links here. Occasionally we like to take the high road in present some intellectual stuff, too. For instance, here's a GREAT interview w/ writer Daniel Okrent about the rise (and fall) of Prohibitio . Stream the interview when you can. It's pretty insightful.

TNSC member Heather Lake submitted this link about the correlation between alcohol and intellect, complete w/ bar graphs!! As usual, the commentary chain is worth the price of admissio .

And lastly, a NY Times guide to DVD and alcohol pairing.





























"It's hard to beleive I've gone and done it again
Went to a place to see all of my friends.
One little sip and now look at me
If this bar were school I'd have a degree."

Artist's Corner

On today's segment of TNSC's "Artist's Corner", we're showcasing artist, performer, and San Francisco legend Mr. Lucky.

Our interstitial artist-of-the-week is San Francisco's own guitar/saw duo
Ramshackle Romeos.

Catch them at a TNSC gathering near you soon!! (like... tonight)






















"I live my life for a layer of ice
Just like those poured by my bartender 'Vice'.
Any taste of vermouth should be really sublime,
When you have a good martini time!

It's Martini time (vodka ice shaker!),
Martini time (olive or lime!),
Martini time (gotta have glasses!),
Perfectly poured and top of the line."
