| Toothpaste for Boozehounds: Get your choppers your whitest, with wine, whiskey flavors | | 2008-04-23 09:57:13 | | For the average boozehound, dredging themselves out of bed and scraping a toothbrush across their hairy tongue, is part of the pre-work grooming regimen (after dousing less than fragrant loafers with the remainder of a bottle of cologne).The taste of toothpaste though, is second only to a whiff of the previous night's poisons when it comes to potentially launching that morning bagel into an anti-gravity, toilet-bound trajectory. So, it's a wonder that at Toothpasteworld.com, speaking of gravity, you can procure all sorts of boozy flavors that would turn your stomach worse than a NASA gyroscope. Michigan dentist and self-professed 'toothpaste collector' Val Kolpakov features American-produced bourbon, whiskey, wine, and for the high-rolling set, champagne flavors.Why these exist is anyone's guess, as the market for people looking to give themselves booze breath when they're not drinking is likely a small one and those who are drinking would like to rid themselves of it.

| The Last Glass of Whiskey | | 2008-02-04 07:08:41 | | A drunk walks into a bar, orders a glass of whisky, takes several gulps and... dies a sudden death.In Heaven he begs of God, "Please, bring me back to the bar for a moment. I just want to finish drinking. There is still half a glass of wisky left. You can even turn me into a fly or a spider, only let me drink it up."So God agrees, turns the drunk into a spider and take him back to the bar.The drunk finds himself on the bar ceiling, just right over the unfinished glass of whiskey."How can I reach | | By: The Best Funny Stories and Jokes | | |
| | Whiskey River is coming along | | 2008-01-14 16:54:13 | | Earnhardt Jr. is in the process of opening a nightclub in Charlotte, NC. “It’s coming along,” Earnhardt said. “It’s really early in the building stages. I went over there for the first time to see it this week. It looks terrible right now. Hopefully once they paint it and do all the tricks that they’ll do to make it look cool and then make it half lit it’ll look cool. Hopefully I’ll at least break even. That’s all I’m hoping to do. They are never moneymakers. I just want to have some fun with it.”The bar will be named Whiskey River. Earnhardt said he’d been planning the place for about three years. But at the time he couldn’t use the name Whiskey River because his affiliation with Budweiser as his primary sponsorship at Dale Earnhardt Inc. “I thought that would be fun to name a club that and was surprised there aren’t many clubs named that,” Earnhardt said.P.S. Junior gets off to great start in first test in No. 88!! Read story here.

| | Woman, 110, credits her longevity to whiskey...For a taste of her whiskey, we'll give you some advice. | | 2008-01-08 23:02:34 | | The life of London's Minnie Smith's has spanned the Spanish American War to the recent Vegas debut of the world's largest TV and New Hampshire primaries. In order to experience such a rich lifetime's worth of accumulated experience you'd have to either switch to a Soylent green exclusive diet, sleep upside down or develop a time machine. Naturally, anyone traveling back in time will have to sign a release form guaranteeing they won't pervert the natural course of history and disrupt the future development of a time machine by say, telling Kennedy to duck or thwarting the Titanic ice-berg collision. The latter, for example, would excise the calamitous event from history books, add a few hundred souls who otherwise wouldn't have been conceived (if this vessel's a rockin', don't bother knockin') and remove any and all future references to the Titanic from the obits of very old people.Minnie Smith, it should be said, is not dead yet, but 110 years young--her namesake on the tombstone pictured above an unfortunate coincidence and oversight we blame on a guest editor---we wish her many happy returns on her recent B-Day. According to the Independent, she was 14 when the Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage and her life spanned six monarchs, 21 prime ministers, nearly every Stanley Cup, the invention of the flashlight and annexation of the island of Hawaii (it should be noted at this point, that the relevance of each particular cultural touchstone varies according to region--though who doesn't like Hawaii?)Smith, according to reports, credits her Grim Reaper-defying existence to regular drops of whiskey and boiled onions (not together).The authors of The Man Who Scared a Shark to Death first noted the healing properties of whiskey while on a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee and credit going an entire year without a head cold to a 'walk slow, and breathe deep' injunction while ambling through the oak barrel storehouse where the hard | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

| For a taste of your whiskey...the kids aren't going to college | | 2007-12-17 11:09:24 | | For small-ticket items like umbrellas, polyester money-belts emptied of cash or novelty hats, bargain hunters and holiday-shopping cheapskates can save a few sheckels when shopping for those who have nothing by hitting their local public transit auction.If you’d like to get your greasy mitts on bigger-ticket items with the serial numbers filed off, you can always hit a police auction and take your pick of the repository of stuff confiscated from local riffraff—a station wagon with the tires shot out, an outboard used for immigration excursions into the Florida panhandle— before your friendly neighborhood beat cop has a chance to sell it back to them.For bona fide high rollers who would like to squander their riches on things like a a thong that once flossed the arse of Demi Moore or a bottle of Elvis' halitosis breath, there are auction houses like Sothebey’s and Christie’s where there’s also a lucrative market for those heirlooms that mysteriously came into your family’s possession after the war.At an auction held by Christie's in New York State recently, the paddles were flapping faster than a round of amphetamine-fueled table tennis when a bottle of 81-year-old Macallan Scotch sold for $54,000, the highest price the fire water has ever fetched at the auction house.The whiskey was distilled in 1926 in Scotland and bottled in 1986 before being purchased by a private investor. An expensive wine of that vintage that had been exposed to air would most likely prove useful only to wilt flowers and ward off bats in an enclosed space, but, fortunately for the purchaser of the rare bottle of hooch at Christie's, whiskey suffers from no such limitations. "You can open it up, have some, close [it] and enjoy it again at your leisure. It's not going to spoil," according ot the head of wine and spirit sales for Christie's America. | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

| | CD Review: Freedom and Whiskey - Freedom and Whiskey -2003 | | 2007-09-19 00:45:00 | | CD Review: Artist: Freedom and WhiskeyTitle: Freedom and Whiskey -2003Website: http://www.myspace.com/freedomandwhiskeyStyle: Rock/Southern Rock/ BluesRating: 7.9 out of 10By Senior Writer C.W. Ross This is one of the bands earlier releases. The band from the Louisville Kentucky/ Jeffersonville Indiana area has undergone some lineup changes over the years but the heart of their music has always remained a mixture of both classic and modern rock elements along with southern rock and blues. The band list their musical influences to include, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Steely Dan, Sound Garden, Fleetwood Mac, Robin Trower, Muddy Waters, and Walter Horton. As you can tell from that eclectic list of artist the bands music pulls from many different styles. The first several tracks found on this release fall into the rock/ southern rock style with their blistering guitars. The band also adds in a few more power ballad feeling tracks.

| | Cutty Sark: Dad's whiskey of choice | | 2007-05-22 17:14:00 | | He would do shots of Cutty Sark and chase it down with a little glass of beer. Shot, chaser, shot, chaser, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat... You get the idea. Good old "Five Corners Pub" in College Point was one of his favorite watering holes. It's still there, 30 years later. We drove past it the other week, while in New York. We're in the habit of stopping at a pizzeria where I would eat as a kid in the seventies- Copolla Restaurant on 14th Avenue, down the street from Five Corners. To die for, their pizza. Worth the pit stop. Well worth it. One day I'll stop into Five Corners too and have a shot of Cutty Sark and chase it down with a small glass of beer, shitty beer like Pabst Blue Ribbon or Schlitz. I'll go in there and probably see the same haggard faces from 25-30 years ago and tell them "Charlie" says hello. Cheers. | | By: Amerikan Turk | | |
