Hot Links
TNSC member Tim Gross (no relation to TNSC honorary founding member Moss Gross) sends us not one, but TWO links Thanks, Timmah!!!
Also, a bit of sad news from high atop Nob Hill
I suggest you now start praying to the Tiki Gods!! (and visit your local legendary Tiki establishment while you can)

Raise a Glass
One of my daily guilty pleasures is coming home from work at night, shaking up an ice-cold martini, and reading the late afternoon editio of the local county rag, The San Mateo Times. Amy, Jeanne, Stillman, JPo... you know what I'm talking about.
The one thing that I look forward to most is a weekly installment called "What's On Tap", written by long-time Bay Area resident, Bill Brand. The article discusses all things beer: local events and reviews for both local and international seasonal offerings. As reported in the Linkey-Loo two weeks ago, Mr. Brand was involved in a freak accident involving an afternoon of imbibing at SF Beer Fest activities, and a MUNI train (he N-Judah to be exact). I was saddened to find out that this past weekend, Mr. Brand succumbed to injuries as a result of this SOMA transit tango.
So, this week, in lieu of some clever connections to silly things, I would like you to remember a fine local journalist, and witness how many lives he has touched.
Please raise a hearty TNSC toast to this fine gentleman.
"I'm the baddest of the bad
Since you've been gone,
The baddest of the bad,
Since you've been gone.
I lay around here
And I just drink beer
The baddest of the bad,
Since you've been gone."

Bowling & Beer
I have to say, even with as insane as this nation is at this time, to me, there's something quite comforting about a President who bonds over beer.
And nothing goes better with beer, than Bowling. I used to enjoy bowling, about 12 years ago this month, our heralded Robot leader organized a "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" bowling party in honor of Jules Verne's Birthday. (I believe that some of you were there)
A good time was had by all, until Mrs. Linkey-Loo slipped while stepping up to the lane, and blew the tip of her pinky out with a 12 lb. bowling ball. We took her to not one, but TWO emergency rooms to get tended to (in her bowling shoes, no less). Needless to say, we haven't bowled since, and she can now predict rain with her pinkey (or what's left of it). This was at the Presidio Bowl - just after the base became decomissio ed. I recently read that the alley may become a victim of art. Put that in your GAP™ jeans.
Special thanks to Lael Kopke for her role as pinch-hit emergency nurse and "li'l" Timmy Fender for cleaning up all of the blood.

SF Beer Week (this week)
Go out and support your local Bay Area beer festivities.
In a related story, my favorite local beer blogger, Bill Brand, suffered injuries after a nasty tangle with the N-Judah on Sunday as reported in the Contra Costa Times (and affiliated papers).
And as a side note, scientific proof that alcohol makes men better in bed.
For an unprecedented FOURTH & FIFTH Linkey, my mind wanders back to a long-forgotten Adam Carolla skit called Germany or Florida?. I think that the Reese's™ might be a give away.
"Well I went to Milwaukee,
And they were out of beer.
I walked to New York,

Sad Day
Among the many passings this year, yesterday's news of our loss of The Cramps Lux Interior is one of the saddest. Punk & Psychobilly owe so much to this fearless entertainer.
Getting back on track to where the Linkeys should really be, I offer, The Top 10 Signs You Drank too Much.
And to continue with the prominent bacon "thread" that weaves in and out of these pages, return TNSC member Marc Hochman gives us Bacon Floss. Mmmmmmmm.

Ring in the New!!
Good bye, and good riddance, 2008. The year that sucked beyond belief.
To help ring in the new, I'm coming right out the gate with the death of the "American" Noilly Prat Vermouth, and the introduction of the "European" version in the US. My Martinis will be that much better, now!
This new year and new president have me energized, just like these guys! Or these guys. (FADERS UP!!!)
Come on out and support your local Thursday Night Social Club in 2009!!
Oh... and Happy 74th Birthday to "The King", Elvis Presley.

Another Year of Linkey's Down
Just in case you're running behind on Xmas shopping (3 weeks in TX has certainly put me behind the 8-ball), may I make a few last-minute gift items that you'd be proud to give to friends and family. And each one uniquely phallic.
1. The Wonder Boner
2. The Banana Bunker
Y'all have a great Christmas, ya hear?!? And I'll see y'all in the New Year!!

Monday night, 73º and raining the biggest raindrops I've ever seen.

While down here in Texas, I've discovered this great transplant band (though they said that they now reside in Fresno, of all places). Please enjoy the musical stylings of Jon Wayne. 'ep!!!
And if things couldn't get any stranger, along comes "Space Beer"
That definitely is NOT from Texas.

Now even though its only been a week since Thanksgiving past, I just found a "bird" recipe that I'm going to force Julie to make next year for the family gathering. Mmmmmmmm.... Turbaconducken!!
One would think with the economy as bad as it is, restaurants wouldn't have to cut back on their service staff... but they did. Oh wait... it's Japan.

Even though there is no TNSC meeting this Thursday, I wanted to:

3. Share a wonderful recipe for mashed potatoes. Do remember to remove the "skizzin, yo!!"

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!
In preparation for tomorrow's International Talk Like A Pirate Day I give you this joke:
A Pirate walks into a bar and orders a Sailor Jerry. As he's prepping the delicious drink, the bartender notices a ship's steering wheel sticking out of the top of the Pirate's pants. As he gives the Pirate his beverage, he says "Hey. Do you know that you have a steering wheel sicking out of your pants?" The Pirate answers "Aye!!!! And it's drivin' me nuts!!!!"
BUH DUMB DASH!!!!
