Hopsicles

A chef in Washington DC has started making and selling "Beer Popsicles" to patrons looking for an escape from the summer heat.

Could you imagine the ice cream guy selling those out of the back of his truck?

..Yeah, me too.

Swear Jar

Certainly not enough to get me to drink their crappy beer -- but the bit at the copy machine is mountain-brewed, cold filtered gold.

Beer for Children

After a hard day at cram school, it's apparently time to head for the mountains.

I don't know what's odder -- the kid who looks ready to take on the whole bar, or the little girl who's well on her way to pledging Tri-Delt.

One thing's for sure though -- the "Wasssup" ads
for this will be nothing short of adorable.

The Shrek 3 Drinking Game

I'm probably going to be taking my little boy to see the latest installment in the Shrek series this weekend. The commercials and toy tie-in's have been everywhere for a few weeks now, so he's very excited about it. If all goes well he'll love the move.

As for me, I'm hoping he really enjoys the movie -- because to be perfectly honest, I'm kinda Shrek-ed out. The first one was a classic, but it seems there's always a point lately with all these summer sequels (especially for kid movies) where you kinda just wish you could save the time and just mail a check for the admission price to Dreamworks directly, you know?

Fortunatley, someone else out there has been thinking ahead, and has come up with something I can really get behind -- The Shrek Drinking Game.

Rules include:

Taking a sip when Mike Myers' Scottish accent wavers

Taking one drink if there's a song by a middling, whitebread, Top 40 crooner (like John Mayer or James Blunt)

Taking two drinks if there's a duet by middling, whitebread, Top 40 crooners (John Mayer and James Blunt!)

Taking a shot if a reference is made to donkey/dragon sex

I don't know about you -- but I think this is one game I can easily win.
