I know the Dark Knight is expected to be the best movie of the summer, but there just might be another contender. Coming soon to a theater near you, Hell Ride is a biker flick produced by Quentin Tarantino that’s written & directed by Larry Bishop. The film pays homage to the old school biker movies of the 60s and 70s. It’s one 83-minute non-stop biker party that exploits the three Bs: bikes, beer, and booty, and damn there is a lot of all three in it, including the opening 10 minute full on orgy scene. As if that wasn’t enough to get your ass in the seats, Vinnie Jones, the official coolest man on the planet kills in the film too!
To compete with Miller Lite’s Taste Great, Less Filling ad campaign, Bud Light attempted to created a catchy ad slogan of their own. I think they might have gone awry with this one.

Brooklyn based Schmaltz Brewing Company is about to make beer a little freakier, with the introduction of three Coney Island Craft Lagers featuring familiar members freaks from Coney Island on the labels. Schmaltz is one of those great local brewers that has found a niche in the market through their sense of humor and odd marketing techniques. Just take their He’Brew beer that takes a cliche and over the top, Jewish themed approach to selling itself as “The Chosen Beer”. The new beers will feature the Sword Swallower, Human Blockhead and Snake Charmer on the bottles. According to the brewer the suds, that can now be found cropping up in bars around NYC, will be available nationwide at the end of this month.
I don’t know much about soccer, futbol or whatever you want to call it. Either way I have no interest in watching it. My main problem with soccer on TV (besides that is sucks - don’t go getting your leopard print man hammock in a bunch), is that every time there is some kind of match going on, it means a bunch of smelly, bad tipping Europeans are infiltrating my bar and interrupting my quiet reflection time (it’s like yoga, but drunker). I will say, if soccer was more like this clip of Remi Gaillard messing with the MAN, I might like watching it a little more.

I am your typical do it yourself kind of guy (insert lame joke here). This attitude can be a very fulfilling one (insert another lame joke here), but also a little dangerous. You will eventually end up slicing your hand open on a box cutter or get a horrific swollen appendage (seriously, grow up now) from a whack of a hammer. However, the injuries I’ve sustained ain’t got nothing on the story of a Kansas man getting shot in the head with a 2 inch nail from a nail gun. The article makes no mention of the use of alcohol being involved in this situation, but if these guys are anything like me, there is no way they were building some damn frilly lattice for one of their wives, without a few cases of Pony Express on hand!
Maybe I am too quick to assume alcohol took part in this incident. Perhaps the guy thought a nail in the head was the better option than building the silly lattice.
60-year-old George Chandler was working in his backyard in Kansas on Friday to build a lattice for his wife when the freak incident took place. He and a friend were working with a nail gun when the tool’s hose got tangled. His friend tried to fix it, and the device unexpectedly went off.
