smells like chips

yahoo did a poll of light beers (thanks macbreath!) and trader joe's josé (racist) took top prize:

Ranking number one, Trader José Light, a private-label beer from the Trader Joe's chain, was surprisingly "pretty OK," according to our tasters. They liked that it "smelled like chips," was "lager-like," and had a "caramel-y" color.

who needs a lager? it's lager-like! 
i prefer it not be a caramel color, just caramel-y. 

this goes to show that it is never too hot for chips.

Mayors - they're just like us!

Adorable Everyman Mayor de Blasio took to shoveling snow today after Snowstorm Hercules dropped a big dump on New York:


Although I thought that was Dante's job, according to his mom:


While I respect the Mayor's commitment to Keeping It Real, I kind of also appreciated the fact that Mayor Bloomberg was so rich he could pay someone to do life chores while he focused on mayoral tasks like reducing soda sizes and plopping bike paths everywhere.

Several of the homes constructed for Hurricane Katrina victims by Brad Pitt’s Make It Right charity are rotting from the inside out, according to the New Orleans Advocate.

The charity used glass-infused wood that’s supposed to be green-friendly. But the material has struggled with moisture — a big problem for homes in a flood zone. The wood is going to be replaced, and Make It Right, which has also helped to rebuild storm-ravaged homes in the Rockaways, is considering legal action. (via)

glad to see brad's getting the full architect experience he never wanted.

A visit to Graceland Too

A few of the 2pz family took a wild tour through the house of a hoarder and lived to post this video

From Wikipedia:
Graceland Too is Paul McLeod's two-storey home and shrine to Elvis Presley in Holly Springs, Mississippi. It is open to the public twenty-four hours a day, every day, all year. The house is crammed with Elvis paraphernalia to the point of being a fire hazard.
Paul McLeod is renowned for his eccentricity, based upon his monklike reverence for Elvis, and his claim to drink at least twenty-four cans of soda per day. The town's assistant director of tourism, Suzann William, claims Paul McLeod is Holly Springs' number one tourism attraction.
The house was originally painted pink, then white, and in 2012 it became a vivid, Mediterranean blue with American Flags and painted navy blue pine trees.

2pz Correspondent Melissa aka "Stacy McTrace" got engaged, surprised and maybe even passed out.

In an elaborate plot that spanned several months and half a continent, apparent diabolical genius Chris totally surprised 2pz correspondent Melissa aka "Stacy McTrace" with #1 a ring and #2 a party with her family and friends. The video above is their arrival at the party - note: around the 30 second mark it looks like Melissa loses consciousness for a few seconds. Congrats!
