Coach Bradley “Welcome to Small Bar”

Filed under: Bars, Cool Ish, US National Team

Yes, it’s funny that Coach Bradley is pimping Chicago’s Small Bar, and this clip looks like it was filmed in the middle of the night, but the man is surprisingly eloquent about the meaning of representing your country.

The Irish Coffee turns 56 years old today. It was invented by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Stanton Delaplane on November 10th, 1952 at San Francisco’s Buena Vista Cafe, based on a drink he had at Shannon Airport in Ireland.

This afternoon, the Buena Vista Cafe will attempt to win a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records by mixing a 12-gallon Irish coffee in a custom-made goblet.

Bumpy Pitch in Texas…

Check out the “Eye Chart” in action at El Tiempo in Houston! 

I had the Bumpy Pitch Tee on my back no more than 40 minutes, and after talking a little nonsense,  I had these girls from Galveston on the line.  “Are you an Eye Doctor?” they asked….”Yes, and I’m testing your vision…”

More after the jump… (more…)

British Culture “Uncivilized Materialists Obsessed with a Culture of Alcohol”?

Filed under: Arrests, Bars, Social Issues, WTF

The New York Times investigates what happens when some Brits go abroad. “They are the ones, the locals say, who are carousing, brawling and getting violently sick. They are the ones crowding into health clinics seeking morning-after pills and help for sexually transmitted diseases. They are the ones who seem to have one vacation plan: drinking themselves into oblivion.”

British Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver adds fuel to the fire. The 33-year-old describes his fellow countrymen’s materialistic attraction to widescreen TVs, cars, mobile phones, and - above all else - beer as being symptomatic of “the new poverty” blighting the UK.

Even The Chambers Dictionary has added the term “WAGs” to their latest edition. And there is even talk in the EPL of no relegation.

What is happening here, what does any of this mean…?

2 Girls at the Bar

We’ve all tried at one point or another to pull at the bar.  Hell, Beans and I have some funny as hell stories from our team travels in Europe.

There’s always “That Guy” using some line that you wished you’d never heard in the first place, but what about this?

I know if I tried this in a full bar I’d end up hurting myself.
