Menina Fantasma no Elevador...

A Brazilian prank show terrifying elevator riders.  Not cool, Brazilians.

That cat has a human face

Doesn't the face on this manul give you the feeling that he can speak a human language in a quiet, raspy, but very wise voice. Creepy.

Hurdles 2012

If you have not downloaded the Google Chrome browser yet, they've just given you the perfect reason to.  This Hurdles 2012 game is both addictive and a great way to instantly get carpal tunnel syndrome.  My top score was 12.9.  Let's see what you can do!

UPDATE: 10.6 with 3 medals is my new high.

What America spends on booze - 1982 v. 2011

         Prices at bars restaurants have gone up 79% since, my birth year, 1982.  This explains why my dad thought the vendor at the Roger Waters concert was f*n with him when he asked for $8.50 for an Old Style.

Friday night with Roger Waters

                  Tonight we get to enjoy the rare experience of seeing Roger Waters perform The Wall at Wrigley Field.  I'm planning on having my mind blown.  This is especially exciting as my folks will be joining Whit and I. I can distinctly remember being a kid and hearing my dad tell me about the very theatrical shows that Pink Floyd put on when they were still touring. I'm literally counting the minutes.

Bearded Beers

If you have not tried this beer yet, do yourself a favor and pick one up today.  While I'm not usually the biggest fan of New Belgium's lineup, I've really been digging their Belgo India Pale Ale. This addition to the Explore series is perfect for summer drinking with a nice balance between bitter and sweet. Nicely carbonated to keep the drinking smooth, and with a 7%ABV it packs a punch that tends to sneak up on you.

I picked up my sixer at West Lakeview Liquors ,aka The Rooster, on Addison and Leavitt.  This place has an amazing selection of craft brew.  Stop in next time you're looking for some killer beer.
