Booze of the week: Burnett's Citrus Vodka

The older I get, the more things cost, and the less cash I have left for quality booze - you know, the kind that costs $40-100 for 750mL.  Today's booze of the week is probably as cost-effective as you can get: Burnett's Citrus Vodka for $5.99 (750mL) at Trader Joes.

You're thinking, WTF, $5.99??? It must be once distilled from cow dung!  I hate to break this to you, but Burnett's vodka (made in Kentucky, USA) is quadruple distilled from grain and triple charcoal filtered.  That should be enough to clean out all the Kentucky animal dung and urine that's all over the grain the distillery uses.

Unfortunately there's not much info on this vodka, but obviously Burnett's isn't going to allocate a large marketing budget for a $6 vodka.  The true test for me was to buy it and make my wife's favorite drink, a Mango Martini.  Honestly, we would have never known if the drinks were made with Stoli or Absolut, which means the vodka was free of aftertaste and the drink went down smooth.  Furthermore, there was NO HANGOVER.  Enough said.

Drunk prank of the week: Bottle Alarm

Your humble author likes originality, and while a few of the drunk prank photos posted haven't been the most creative, this one is pretty darn good. The pranksters clearly knew one of the worst things a hungover person can wake up to is NOISE, especially coming from the last thing on his mind: BOOZE.

Craigslist humor: toilet for sale

I once blew up a friend's perfectly good toilet with an M80, which was a total riot and had us laughing for hours - not to mention the continued laughs over the years when reminiscing.  The bad part about it was having to fork over a couple hundred dollars for a new toilet, but can one really put a price on never ending laughs?  Okay, so had Craigslist been around during the aftermath of my toilet explosion prank, I definitely could have extended the prank by picking up this item on Craigslist:

Bin Laden tops the chart

After hundreds of thousands Iraqi and Afghan deaths and the ongoing suffering of thousands more, Bin Laden was finally taken out.  I'm not sure what all the celebrating is about, as nothing has changed. The US is no safer, and still hated for the decades of imperialism and middle east tyranny.  Oh, and Obama's top priority is continuing to serve the oligarchy while the US economy remains in shambles.  Anyway, on to the comedy:

Craigslist humor: Planned Parenthood protests

I'm not wild about abortion, and honesty there's nothing funny about it.  However, there's always someone out there who can find humor where you least expect it, and Craigslist is home to such individuals.

Drunk prank of the week: Pretty Lady

Well, this drunk prank features the usual cosmetic "pass out and I'll mark your face" make-up, but what makes it hilarious is the pranksters actually animate the face in a "Weekend at Bernie's" style.

There seems to be an endless amount of idiots who drink too much and leave themselves in the hands of their buddies.   Once I've collected enough of these drunk pranks I'll set up some sort of poll to get an idea of what's the most popular.

Craigslist humor: AIDS scare revenge

This classified ad is pretty damn funny, but I question whether or not it's really true.  So to my few blog readers, don't questions its legitimacy and get all CSI on me , but instead take it as as nonsensical humor, which is what this blog is all about.
