The Bashed Skull
1999-12-30 23:36:43
Just in time for New Year's Eve, this week's Spocktail is aptly named the Bashed Skull, which describes how most Pigdogger's heads will feel on the morning of 1/1/2000...
Please remember that members of the Pigdog Staff are PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS with IRONCLAD LIVERS and NO SENSE FOR SELF-PRESERVATION WHATSOEVER. To make a Bashed Skull you'll need the following ingredients:
- Vodka
- Grapefruit Juice
- Half a lime
- Crank
Squeeze the lime into a glass, add two shots of vodka, and fill with grapefruit juice to taste. Snort the crank and shoot the contents of the glass down your throat. Repeat as necessary.
You will have no problems staying up all night and watching the sun rise over the burnt out remains of western civilization.
Happy New Years!

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
