About the latest turn in the ghost ticket saga

When further questioned, Betty Barnette pointed behind me and shouted "Oh my god, what the hell is that?" When I turned back around after seeing nothing, Better Barnette was running away as fast as she could.

About the sale of property owned by Oakwood Cemetery

Is anyone else totally creeped out by the cemetary selling land? The apartments should be rented with a legally required disclaimer "beware poltergeists" or "Craig T Nelson may run into your bedroom and yell into your closet."

About the no-shake Sage graduation

As long as you don't shove your hand in your mouth after you hit the stage, there's nothing to be worried about.

Now, if you stick your foot in your mouth...

I hope they go MLB style & just spank each other on the butt as they pass by. Or if that doesn't work, I suppose headbutting will suffice.

About Mother's Day

We will be taking my mother to the beer garden. Because nothing says "I love you mom" more than pints of beer and Octoberfest style food.

About Angelina and the Mayor

We should look for orange hand prints on Angelina's ass when we all go see the movie.

About circus elephants

Thanks AOA for covering something so "neat" - I think it's especially neat how circus animals get live in hell for our "entertainment".

About the bottle bill borking beer choice

Please, don't leave us stuck with Coors Light!

Yet another example of New York creating a hostile environment for business and toxic conditions for small business.

I've given this some thought and I really don't see how this would be much of a burden to the breweries. The labels or packaging that have the barcodes on them have to be printed anyway, so what difference does it make if they have to print a separate run for New York's enormous thirst? I'm guessing that every production run has an intended customer who has already been sold what's rolling off of the line, it's not like a product with a limited shelf life is made with the hopes that someone *might* buy it sooner or later. The only place I see it being problematic is with exotic imports and small label niche beers, but it's nothing that a little applied cleverness can't overcome.

About the snakehead in broccoli at Friday's

Wow.. see what happens when you try to eat healthy!

Get these mother#$% snakes off this mother#$% plate.

About people preferring Spitzer of Paterson

How can someone who has accomplished so much (especially considering the multiple crises he basically inherited) in such a short time have such a low approval rating? The answer: mainstream media's constantly-negative portrayal, and a lack of counter-messaging from his campaign.

... said Buffalo the City

I feel like Paterson is acting as someone doing what's best for the state in a horrible economic crisis without worrying about reelection. If he's right he'll be hailed as a genius, if wrong we will remember him as "that interim governor who screwed the state up."

... said Aaron

Whatever. Polls can't be trusted. For example, a recent poll of men that I work with shows that 100% of them believe I look nothing like a blond Christina Ricci even though from certain angles and in certain lighting and after many beers I totally do.

About the Blue Pants' trip to Wolff's

No one cares about gnomes. This blog was once good and is becoming unreadable with this gnome crap.

EVERYBODY STOP HAVING FUN IMMEDIATELY. It is ruining my enjoyment of this site.
