a prerequisite at Metromix, it seems, Alie Ward likes to turn food and drink from McDonalds into cocktails. thus i heart her. lots.
she and her pallie created the McNuggetini last spring and now its being picked up by Huffington Post, DListed, and right now it’s the top story discussion on Metafilter (where many of the kids are not at all amused).
Just when I thought McDonald’s food couldn’t get any worse than it already was, someone goes and does this. posted by Chan at 3:46 PM on February 16

personally i dont think you can go wrong adding booze to fast food, but that’s me, mr wonderful.
and missed the sweet friday the thirteenth bash at my house.
because of all the rain here in LA and madness and etc. i forgot to bring my camera to work to upload the photos and video from that party, so now you have something to look forward to on Tuesday. huh?!?
enjoy your presidents day holiday, those of you lucky enough to have it.
and the rest of you, enjoy feeling superior to this lady
our pals Ken Layne and S.K. Smith (i dont know the others) have decided to eat cake as rome burns. while everyone else is hunkering down, downsizing, burying their heads in down comforters, and putting all their money in bonds, Wonkette has decided to omg LAUNCH A NEW BLOG!
about fun!
in WASHINGTON DC!?!?!?!!11!
it wasnt enough that they were kicking ass and taking names covering O’Messiah, but now they want to roll up their sleeves and enter the battle of covering all the nightlife and parties and club scene of our 51st almoststate.
and it seems they launched on Friday the 13th. toldya they were satanists.
i dont think that many. fil and raymi are perfect together. fil is a gentleman, an artist, a male model, a tremendous photographer, and the best man for raymi ever. i was very happy to hear this news, especially in my comments. i hope that their wedding is during one of the warm months in toronto and i hope matt good plays some tsar songs at their reception.
Vinny: Is Joaquin Phoenix really crazy or is it all just a elaborate hoax?
if Joaquin is doing what many think hes doing its a sad sad ripoff of a much longer, far more interesting downward spiral beautifully starring mr arthur lange who’s dedicated enough to do it year after year, every morning from 6am-10:30am Monday thru Thurs
Martin: How will we know that the Busblog has jumped the shark?
the busblog has gone out of its way to find sharks for the sole purpose of jumping over them. i tried to create Rules for Blogging, which is a sure fire way to jump sharks, busblog only got more popular and i won an award. i asked people for money countless times and not only did they give it to me but they also flashed me their hoo has. i got rid of my archives, i blogged professionally, i blogged for the MSM, i stopped cursing in here, i stopped doing olde school photo essays, i got heavy into youtube videos, i stopped dating for a while, and when i started dating again i didnt show any pics of any of the girls, ive even allowed poetry to be posted on this url. all things that should capsize a blog instantly, but the busblog keeps on truckin. why? because it is clearly the official blog of the gods.
scotts a super talented music editor and writer for Metromix who first met me over the phone when he did a little piece on me for LA Weekly’s 100 Los Angelenos issue. after spending a lot of time in the metromix offices he and i started talking and realized that we have a lot in common in regards to music and we hit it off pretty quickly. i dont know what the future holds for Metromix as we know it but if he ends up writing regularly for Pop & Hiss it would be a beautiful thing. there are already a half dozen great writers on that blog but he would fill a spot thats sorely lacking. hes also very nice.
Just Me: What is Dallas going to do about T.O.? I love that guy and all his tantrums!
the worst thing they could do is send him to Oakland. which is probably what they’ll do in exchange for a really nice draft pick. and if you like TO’s tantrums magnified by Jerry Jones and Tony Romo, just wait to see TO melt down because of Al Davis and the indescribably bad silver and black.
adrienne: how in the world is it possible for anyone to ever take any member of MLB seriously ever again? i don’t even like baseball and i wanna punch every goddamn player in the face these days – it must be especially hurtful for the true fans out there.
the day baseball shut the doors of the hall of fame to the all time hit king for betting ON his team they began a perilous journey down the slipperiest of slopes to failure.
in any team, company, or relationship you will often find your most valuable people doing some effed up things. in order to protect your good thing, you should always be on the outlook to protect your ambassadors. but MLB went out of its way to demonize Rose, Commissioner Selig barely stood up when Bonds broke the all time HR record, and has allowed steroids of all things to eat away at the core of the national game.
if baseball had been strong about steroids and done simple things like lowering the mound or juicing the baseballs instead of putting the onus on the players (many of whom have extremely short careers and thus would be more willing to break the rules to hang around one or two more years later for the chance at those multimillion dollar paychecks) to hit 50 home runs and more a year, then we wouldnt be where we are now.
MLB needs to have a no tolerance rule. it needs to have its union slapped around a bit because its partially to blame as well. and right before monday night baseball every evening i wanna see The Boomer announce the names of anyone who failed the weekly Sunday morning piss test.
when you work in an industry where guys playing first base turn down $20 million a year, multi year contracts to play in southern california, then you should be able to shrug off pissing in a cup on tv in order to save said industry. and if youre too dumb to understand that ideal then youre probably too dumb to stay off the juice. so hasta.
Monkey: Is that a tusk where the wiener should be?
since it is a wood sculpture of a beached whale, in a way what yr referring to is much closer to the everyday rigidity of a tusk, as opposed to the soft texture of a weiner.
this is an inside joke as xTx had no shirt on in the last photo she emailed me, thus the correct answer is mama mia!
Jay: Two things: Los Campesinos! – yay or nay? I turned 24 this week. What was the best thing about being Tony at 24?
Ways to Make It Through the Wall (live last month in the ATL)
i dont know one person who knows new music who doesnt love this welsh band, and i dont blamem. its what i always wanted from The Sea & Cake, Death Cab, and Blur but never received.
We Throw Parties, You Throw Bombs
plus they just seem so damn happy.
when i was 24 i was first getting really comfortable with ESP, flying Chopper One, and having a little bit of money. i also was getting my first company car. for some reason i felt old. i wonder what would have been different if i realized then that i was definately not old. probably recklessness times 10 instead of time 5.
one of the more suprising things of the week happened in the comments blog. thats a blog that fleshes out and celebrates the comments on the news and blog posts left by our readers. our city desk blog la now has been covering the brown/rihanna story beautifully and while people have been flooding to that blog, theyve also been leaving comments. one of the trends that we saw were how many people were defending chris brown. so we posted some of their support (and some who thought they were crazy) on the comments blog. now that post is drawing even more support for chris brown. here are some from last night:
dang. people need to lay off chris. All thats goin around now is just rumors, all we know is it was just chris and rihanna involved. I mean damn, everybody is going crazy, not playing his music on the radio and stuff. They even took down a got milk poster of him in my school cafeteria. Such a good kid like chris with such a clean record obviously wouldnt do anything unless made really angry. And also, it could be pyscological retalitation from his childhood. I still love him and always will.

like jay z says men lie, woman lie and numbers don’t so chris brown you should prove them wrong that you are not what they think you are and you may move from that stage to another new life background………st.lucia say may you be reborn again under the foots of the backstabbers…

our all dumb. RIHANNA PROVOKED HIM. i think that if your big and bad enough to dish it out, your big enough to take it. she’s jealous and always has been. she wants you to believe her so that chris’ career will be damaged. and your all falling for it. just because she’s a woman, what a damn shame. quit going off of one side of the story. he turned himself in CAUSE THAT WAS THE SMART THING TO DO. why run if you didnt do it? he did the right thing. she’s a spoiled brat who has all of you wrapped around her damn finger.
