N/A Beer Sports Drinks
A non-alcoholic beer sports drink? I thought that’s pretty much what Michelob Ultra was. Turns out that stuff has a bit of alcohol. The German brewer Erdinger is now offering something called “Alkoholfrei” and marketing it to the sports crowd. I don’t speak German, but I’m pretty sure Alkoholfrei means ‘unleaded’ in English.
I love beer, [...]

Are You A Nose Jammer?
by Dave Hurteau
It’s not as personal a question as it sounds. And I really should phrase it: Will you be a nose jammer this fall? What is a nose jammer? I admit I just sort of made that up, figuring that someone who uses Nose Jammer to jam noses can himself be called a nose jammer.

Kitchen-Knife Control: When Parody is Indistinguishable from Reality
by David E. Petzal
This all came about because a crazed yahoo killed four people with a knife instead of a handgun in the fiefdom of Mayor for Life Michael Bloomberg. If said yahoo had used a handgun, His Honor would have rounded up his tame fellow mayors, gone to Washington, and treated us to yet another gun-control sermon in his adenoidal bleat. But it was knives, so he was silent.
I thought this was a shame, so I wrote the post of February 18, titled (“Bloomberg Calls for Kitchen Knife Law Reform“), stringing together the clichés that Bloomberg, and Chuck Schumer, and all the usual suspects have used, and substituted “kitchen knives” for “handguns” where appropriate. As reader Breaking Clays pointed out in his comment on the post (and he gets an A+ for this one), the most crushing criticism of an opponent’s point of view you can make is when you write a truly idiotic parody of it and the parody is indistinguishable from the real thing. If this seemed real, it’s because there’s nothing in it you haven’t seen or heard before, spoken or written, in dead seriousness.
