This Week In Particularly Preternaturally Potent Porcine Products
First up, the Flaming Bacon Lance Of Death, nuff said: Next up, Brit scientists prove bacon sandwiches cure a hangover. Oh, bless the Brits! Lastly, science cannot put a name to the awesomeness of, well, just look: The Boing Boing commenters on the original story helpfully suggest “Noodledogs”, “Cthulhu bits”, “hot doodle”, “doghetti”, “pork calamari”,…

Remember: When It Comes To Scotch Whisky, It’s All About The “e”
The Art of Manliness has an excellent primer on the subject of Scotch Whiskey. A good, quick read if you’re at all taken with the notion of taking up Scotch. And remember: It’s Scotch whisky, the only drink strong enough to change the New York Times’ style guide. Now I’ve just got to find the…

Wonder no more, for intrepid Something Awful forumdweller “Honk” has conducted the test for you. The results are largely what one would expect: I’m not sick and I say I would…

A Query, A Plea, A Shot Into The Night
Is it just the Northeast, or are peanut butter Twix unavailable all across this great nation? I ask, because the caramel variant is a poor relation, an imitation, a candied poseur of the first order whose continued existence in vending machines and on store shelves is unexplainable. Their wrapper is a mockery of proper palates,…
