Finally, the MSM does some real reporting
2007-05-24 17:18:43
Knock, knock, knock... is this thing on? Hello??? Anybody out there? Guess it doesn't matter. Anyways, I'm back, for one article at least, maybe more. So what's all the big deal that drags Johnny Royale out of his drunken stupor? Well, ok, I'm still in a drunken stupor, but I have something to say.
The Main Stream Media has finally, finally, done some real investigation reporting. They sent a reporter from 20/20 to determine if super-premium vodka can be detected by the regular utterly pretentious morons that inhabit Manhattan's trendiest and most barf-a-riffic night clubs.
The answer is, of course, no. And I'm sorry if I spoiled the ending for you. But no big surprise there, I figured that out about 10 years ago. Vodka is vodka is vodka. Something you should tattoo to the inside of your eyelids.
Now that 20/20 has re-answered this all important question, maybe they can figure out why 30% of this country still likes King George and thinks Jesus (who loves us all) is coming back any day now to slaughter billions and only take the true believers to heaven. Personally, I think if Jesus loved me (and in the very unlikely event he actually exists), he'd come up with a different plan for the so-called Rapture that wasn't cribbed right out of the Cheney play book.
Now, where's my cheap vodka, I need another drink.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
