Frozen-Food Smackdown: Totino's Pizza Rolls Vs. Hot Pockets Snack Bites
Dweezil Zappa’s dad memorably declared that a country’s legitimacy is predicated upon its having its own airline and its own beer, and maybe a football team and a nuclear arsenal for good measure.

This Is The Best New Pumpkin Beer
Booze and leisure bloggers have no need for calendars, but we do require many of the same ointments, detergents, and jerkies that bring the rest of you into Walgreen’s on a regular basis.

That Troy Tulowitzki Ejection Sure Was Strange

You know Joe West. Of course you know Joe West, because West is the only MLB umpire who thinks you’re there to see him instead of the game.
