I came across this one last night and was wondering if anyone is familiar. Has anyone listened to The Shark Anal yet? If so, is it like a tale of forbidden love, or more of a "nature sounds" type track?

I've been listening to a lot of audiobooks lately, and I'm really enjoying the format. Please let me know if you have any recommendations!

Look no further
Looking for last minute gift ideas? I hope not because Christmas is over. If you are still looking for a gift however, I recommend a personal safety alarm. These FansArriche brand ones are great for students, the elderly and potential murder!

OCD #1
Here's a peek into my OCD brain:
"This is a nice party. I love catered food! I'm going to get some chips and salsa. I love chips and salsa.
Huh. Okay so instead of picking up chips with our hands, we are using tongs. Except that when people are done with the tongs, the tongs go back into the chip container. Now the chip tongs, which contain the collective germs of every person who has served themselves chips, are sitting in the chips.
Also, after serving myself chips with the tongs, I will have transferred the germs of everyone at this event onto my hands, which I will then use to eat the chips.
HOW IS THIS AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM? We’d be better off just scooping the chips up with our hands!"
Living in my head is kind of exhausting.

I cracked the code
I figured out a way to bring alcohol on an airplane that is legal and condoned by the TSA! According to TSA regulations, it is permissible for each traveler to bring one quart sized, clear plastic, zip-top bag full of mini liquor bottles in their carry-on luggage. By my calculations this means anywhere from 8 to 10 bottles per person, depending on what you're drinking.
I tried this myself recently and it worked like a charm. A cheap, drunken charm. I should note that it's technically illegal to drink the alcohol while on the plane, but if you want to drop a few rum shots into your free Coke, that's your business.

Behind the hard candy shell
Can we talk about that Eminem diss video? And by "talk" I mean I rant and you read?
Everyone's focusing on Eminem's political message, but I have a couple other things I'd like to bring up.
1. Did he go to mime school? This is not an insult, his skills are genuinely impressive. Check the 3:00 mark where he gives a nod to the classic "trying to escape a glass box" routine!
2. Where did all those guys in the background come from? Is there like a "tough dudes who lean on cars" Meetup group? What's the interview process like? How are the retirement benefits?

No respect
This is the baby scale at my children's pediatrician's office:
This is a closeup of the sticker on the side of the scale:
The only explanation I can come up with is that the person who designed this sticker had never seen a baby before and, being a huge fan of Rodney Dangerfield, decided to draw an approximation of what Rodney would look like as a miniature person. If this was the goal, mission accomplished.

Mother Earth Brewing Company Say When IPA
RATING: 4/5
These flavor notes are getting regoddamndiculous. The label on this beer says it tastes like "gooseberry pie, passionfruit, meringue, and tea leaf" leaving me to ask: what in holy hell is gooseberry pie? I can envision a group of hipster "connoisseurs" sitting around a distressed rustic Pottery Barn table, nodding enthusiastically as Brent spits beer into a pail and exclaims, "It's like drinking my grandma's gooseberry pie!"
I like this beer despite the ridiculousness on the label. It's a bit more tart than the current West Coast IPA style, but goes down smooth. The next time I'm invited to a hipster picnic, I'll definitely bring some along.

Full Sail Bourbon Barrel Aged Wheatwine Ale
RATING: 4/5
To be honest, I had never heard of wheatwine before this beer. I found it to be similar to barleywine, but with less of the offensive malty sweetness. This beer is only for the unfaint? of heart. At 12% ABV, it will put hair on your chest (don't worry, your breath will burn the hair right back off). This wheatwine would pair well with sharp cheddar cheese or toffee candy.

Session
RATING: 3/5
Session beer has style, but it's not a session style beer (Session was Session before sessions got popular). Session is okay, but I found it kind of stale and a little bitter. I have to give a shout-out to the label though. The logo looks like it could be for a surf company. Also, I remember back in the day that Session bottle caps had word games on them, and I believe they now have rock-paper-scissors pictures to play with friends. So that's pretty cool.

Simpler Times
RATING: 2/5
Apparently back in "simpler times," beer tasted pretty shitty. Simpler Times is cheap, and in this case you get what you pay for. It starts out okay, but the aftertaste is fairly terrible. In addition, this beer has the unique characteristic of actually getting worse the longer you drink it.

Stone IPA
RATING: 5/5 – 4.5/5
Fantastic. The standard by which all IPAs should be judged. I know it's super popular and widely distributed, but it wouldn't be right to deduct points for that. While the bottle version is a solid 5/5, the canned variety loses a half point for loss of carbonation.

Grieskirchner Weisse
RATING: 4/5
Smooth. This beer is a nice change-up from all the lagers and IPAs out there. Would pair well with an olive plate, an antipasto dish, or a meat and cheese tray. I don't love the sour aftertaste, but I appreciate this beer for its unique and refreshing taste.

If Stone Brewing Company made a Stone IPA Light, I'd expect it to taste pretty much like this. I like the flavor, but it's not a standout.

Ballast Point Brewing Company Cinnamon Raisin Commodore American Stout
RATING: 4/5
The title of this beer is a lot, but thankfully so is its flavor. I mean its flavor is a lot. Does that make sense? I don't know, I'm tired. Anyway, I tasted the cinnamon and raisin. All this bad-boy needs is some oatmeal flavor and it'd be like drinking a cookie. The only downside is that it leaves a kind of a stinging aftertaste on the tongue.

Stella Artois Cidre
RATING: 3/5
Good, but not as good as your basic non-alcoholic apple cider. It starts strong with a genuine cider flavor, but the follow up is all cheap wine. This drink would be good if you hate beer, or if you like to drink really fast (so you'd stay ahead of the aftertaste).

Voodoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin Ale
RATING: 2/5
Yikes. Tasted a tiny bit of pumpkin and lots of habanero. If anyone drank an entire 6 pack they'd end up looking like the dude on the label. I love spicy food and hot sauce, but this is way too much pepper for a beer.

Bear Republic Racer 5 I.P.A.
RATING: 4.5/5
I realized that I've been rating a lot of new and random beer, but I haven't covered some of my favorites. Racer 5 is an IPA lover's IPA (whatever that means). I visited this brewery way back in the 20th century and I remember being blown away by Racer 5's balanced, complex, floral berry flavor. The only thing lacking is the bold bitter aftertaste that many modern IPAs bring to the table.

Natural Ice
RATING: 3.5/5
I'm going to say something that will send the heads of hipsters around the world spinning: Natty Ice is better than PBR.
Pabst Blue Ribbon has gotten a reputation for being the best "cheap" beer money can buy, which has resulted in it no longer being that cheap. In addition to costing less than PBR, Natural Ice is stronger, and it tastes better. Wake up sheeple!
*Note: When you buy this beer everyone will judge you for being kind of a dirtbag (including me).

Golden Road Brewing 329 Days of Sun Lager
RATING: 3/5
Nice basic lager with a bit of a grapefruit bite at the end. I like that it's brewed locally in Los Angeles and I appreciate its reference to our awesome weather, but at twice the price of other domestics, I'm picking Bud Light every time.

Bear Republic Pace Car Racer
RATING: 4.5/5
The aptly named Pace Car, is a "session" beer, meant to be enjoyed over a long period of time without getting you too tipsy. I applaud the idea of this type of beer, but have a hard time getting around the fact that it costs the same as other beers that have a fuller flavor and contain twice as much alcohol.
I have been a fan of this brewery's Racer 5 IPA for almost two decades, and their new offering does not disappoint. Pace Car Racer starts with a smooth, almost candy like taste, and finishes with a classic IPA bite.

Coronado Brewing Company Guava Islander Tropical IPA
RATING: 4/5
Watered down wheat flavor with a shot of citrus at the end. Not bad, but I definitely didn’t taste that much guava. I detected more of an orange rind flavor. While traveling years ago in South America I came across a place that served beer mixed 50/50 with orange soda. This tastes a lot like that, except this is about 3 times as strong.

Stone Ghost Hammer IPA
RATING: 4.5/5
A very solid offering from Stone. It has a surprisingly fruity taste, like a beer fruit punch. Okay it's not that crazy, but it was definitely not what I expected. It'd be great if Stone started selling half IPA, half Ghost Hammer twelve packs. It'd be nice to go back and forth between the two brews, switching between the bold and bitter IPA and the lighter sweeter Ghost Hammer.

RATING: 4/5
A good summertime beer that pairs well with summertime food. Light malty-sweet flavor. I can't help feeling that if this beer wasn't in such a cool bottle, it'd be "just okay." But aesthetics count, and the whole presentation is cool, including but not limited to the Hawaiian islands raised in the glass.

Knee Deep Brewing Company Breaking Bud
RATING: 4/5
Pssst. Do you want to know a secret? I'm just now watching Breaking Bad. I'm trying to keep this on the DL because I'm sure that if I tell anyone they are going to ruin the ending for me. Anyway, I drank this beer while watching Breaking Bad (and while cooking meth!!!!!). Talk about an immersive experience!
This beer smells like weed, and tastes like weed. I actually checked the label to see if I had accidentally purchased some type of beer/weed fusion drink. It's piney smooth flavor would pair great with a blue cheese burger and fries. If it was cheaper I could see myself putting it into my regular beer rotation.

Mission Brewery Shipwrecked Double IPA
RATING: 3/5
This novelty act tastes nothing like an IPA. Shipwrecked Double IPA has a distinctive stout taste with hints of tobacco, coffee, and dark chocolate followed by a stinging "what did I just drink--is this carbonated motor oil?" aftertaste.
The fact of the matter is that this beer isn't bad, but is way too expensive and tastes way too much like a stout to get a higher rating from me. With the strength of 9.25% ABV, and sold in a 32 ounce can this thing should come with a bottle of Tylenol taped to the side. Pairs well with dehydration and regret.

RATING: 3.5/5
In addition to having a title that will break your spellcheck, Hobnelch'n Hoppy Saison Ale serves up a citrus explosion for your face mouth! Fizzy up front with a bold lemon zest. At first blush, this beer tastes like bubbly lemonade that's been strained through a pile of fresh barnyard hey. After a while though, it starts to grow on you.

Busch
RATING: 3.5/5
Although Busch has long been seen as inferior to the Budweiser/Coors/Miller triumvirate, I say it's gotten a bad rap. Busch is a refreshing mellow beer with a slightly sweet finish. Perfect for summertime barbecues and poolside drinking. And at a price point cheaper than its domestic competition, Busch deserves a second look.

Big Bear Lake Brewing Company Whispering Pine IPA
RATING: 4.5/5
Doesn't taste like a traditional IPA, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. This beer has more of a pale ale taste, but at 8.1% ABV it can stand up to the big boys. I found Whispering Pine to be very smooth and easy to drink. I could definitely taste the pine, but not the whisper. I guess my palette isn't as refined as I thought.

RATING: 4/5
Starts off bold and fades to a kind of generic sugary finish. I was hoping this beer would be a little more exciting, but it's nice to know it's out there when I want a break from the IPAs of the world. Plus, at 8.5% ABV, this is the strongest red ale I've seen.

RATING: 4/5
This beer is very light and has a crisp sweetness to it. It's good, and very easy to drink, but could use a little more flavor. Great for someone who enjoys the occasional beer, but isn't looking for anything too fancy.

Big Bear Lake Brewing Company Ode to Winslow Chocolate Porter
RATING: 3.5/5
A nice chocolate porter. While I appreciated that this porter didn't weigh me down, or stick me with a malty sweet aftertaste, I would have liked a little more complexity in the overall flavor.

Big Bear Lake Brewing Company Goldmine Pale Ale
RATING: 2.5/5
Wheat flavor up front with a cheap sweet finish. The aftertaste is what I'd imagine a "light" malt liquor might taste like. Big Bear Lake Brewing Company needs to step up their game to make this beer worthy of its "Goldmine" name.

Sierra Nevada Otra Vez
RATING: 1/5
Think of the grossest thing you could put in your mouth. Okay, back off a little, not that dirty. What I’m trying to say is that this stuff is vile. Imagine throwing up and asking for water and instead being handed back your own puke in the form of a cold carbonated beverage. That’s what this tastes like. Sierra Nevada has an incredible track record for putting out new beers, but this one is so off the mark it boggles the mind.
So don’t let the cool cactus label fool you! You’d be better off trying to drink water straight from a cactus than paying to drink this junk.

Stummy beige
A research scientist just trained a computer to generate new paint colors and give them each a name. The names the computer came up with sound like the worst Pokémon characters ever.
And I thought the names I created for Fallout Shelter were ridiculous.

More like ZENdge
While looking for a wallpaper for my new iPad, I came across Zedge.net. The site boasts over 246 million app downloads and it's easy to see why. Who wouldn't want to stare at these nuggets of inspiration multiple times per day?
This one's literally and metaphorically deep.

Literate yourself!
My birthday is in a couple of weeks and in the spirit of giving, I've decided to release the FULL TEXT of my book I Am Now a Published Author, on this blog for the bargain price of $0.00. That's $2.99 off the regular price, and about a billion dollars less than it's worth. My lawyer would kill me, if I had a lawyer (which I don't, as evidenced by my copyright page).

A name by any other name would be a different name
A fun thing to do when you see a wall of kids’ coloring sheets is to make one with an outrageous name and watch people's reactions when they read it. I did this on a recent trip to the aquarium, and I like to think I inspired some future parents.
