Generate your own beer label. Nice enough, but there’s no way to keep the image unless you buy it.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force: Organic Budweiser.

Handy, but I’d want to be one of the guys on the end.

Sam Adams reinvents the beer glass – The new Samuel Adams Boston Lager Pint Glass makes your standard beer mug look like some sort of Paleolithic urn cobbled out of twigs and mud. It’s high tech for the beer connoisseur — and it honest to goodness makes your drink taste better.
….laser etched nucleation sites inside the glass provide a place for bubbles to form.
Oooooooh, lasers.

Baseball beer bans are a slippery slope.

If it’s too dangerous to provide a couple of beers to 25 guys in a clubhouse — all of whom can afford cab fare or limo fare and some of whom can afford to charter the Concorde — then what of the tens of thousands of over-served fans that the park just disgorged out into the parking lot? I mean, if a team is serious about public safety and its own liability, shouldn’t it really extend the ban to the entire park? Ah, but now we’re talking about the bottom line. Banning beer in the clubhouse doesn’t cost the club anything. In fact, it saves them a few bucks. Banning $8 beers on the concourse — and thereby jeopardizing massive sponsorship deals — would be a financial hit no club will ever take.

Still Missing

Coast Guard crews began a third day of searching Wednesday for a missing sailboat and its four crew members, who sent a distress signal early Monday morning during violent seas off the southern North Carolina coast.

Helicopter and boat crews have searched more than 38,000 square nautical miles, or nearly 50,000 square miles, for the 54-foot “Flying Colours” since the last signal indicated the boat was about 120 miles southeast of Cape Lookout, Coast Guard officials said.

Given the weather, any lifeboats or wreckage should have been pushed towards Lookout, rather than away. That and the current from the Gulf Stream ought to put them somewhere off the coast of Virginia.

Looks like the five-second rule is okay as long as you’re not actively testing it.

To do this, they applied a broth containing several million live bacteria per square centimeter to their test surfaces — typical numbers for badly contaminated food — and found that, after 24 hours, thousands of Salmonella survived per square centimeter on both the tile and wood surfaces, while tens of thousands survived on the carpet. Surprisingly, hundreds of Salmonella were still alive after 28 days.

Flinging poo since 2003.

Daniel Henninger, whom we read religious for obvious reasons, on Republicans wandering in the wilderness.

His commitment to incentivizing, Reaganite tax cuts is solid. George Bush is a social conservative. His Supreme Court nominees, notwithstanding the Miers hiccup, articulated recognizably conservative legal philosophies. But he lacked enough political capital in his second term to privatize Social Security or secure personal Health Savings Accounts, so there’s little to mitigate the ideological confusion of lavish spending on education and prescription drug insurance. If he hadn’t needed Congress’s support for a war, would he have issued an astonishing zero vetoes of their spending bills? The Bush presidency leaves behind a puddle of confusion.

Has anyone tried hitting him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper?
