Blog Post Title: The Devil’s Share
Author: Doug B.
Date: June 8th, 2008
Why I Chose This: I am sure a majority of you are going to be at New Years Eve parties tonight, and it is inevitable that the well-known martini glass will have a presence. I, like many others dread having to carry a martini glass around, but it was designed the way it is for a reason, gotta respect the purpose of the design. Besides, “it is also believed by some that the martini glass gained popularity during the prohibition days. You see, if the police came into a “speakeasy” club, the contents of the glass could be emptied and widely dispersed with a single and deliberate wrist action.” That is just awesome. I suggest reading more about Doug’s thoughts on the martini glass and allow him to drop some martini glass knowledge on you.

Title: Jesus + Hatchets = No More Alcohol
Author: Alan K.
Date: July 27th, 2008
Why I Chose This: This blog was so great it was published in the magazine. What is not to love about this blog? Crazy lady. Weapons. Destruction. It scares the hell out of me all while making me laugh. Alan says it best, “Call me crazy, but this lady sounds a lot more dangerous than any drunk I’ve seen. My theory is that she wanted to destroy alcohol so she could pave the way for her own vice, Meth.”
