My wife and I experienced some terrible customer service at the Soulshine Pizza Factory in Brandon, Mississippi. We went in on Saturday looking for some tasty pizza, and we’d never been there. The word on the street is that it’s supposed to be good. While waiting (a really long time) I picked up a paper copy of the menu to read as I couldn’t see the tiny chalk menu on the wall behind the counter (important note: I’m legally blind). Well, when the pizza guy finally comes up the first thing he says is, “Hey, are you blind or something?” followed by an aping of how close I had to hold the menu to read. “Yes,” I answered, “actually I am.” A reasonable person would have realized their mistake at this point. Not our pizza guy. “Boy, I sure hope you don’t drive! Let me know when you’re leaving so I can make sure it’s safe!”
The Beer Brewing Bender Project is finally completed. This is a fan built, full sized Bender from Futurama featuring a 6502 CPU powered brain to make him speak triggered by a prop remote control straight out of the show. Inside his body is a beer fermenter used to brew up a batch of real Benderbrau beer! < link via slashdot>
I know you visit the site for a lot of reasons—Up to the minute beer and bourbon news, profound insights into American culture, deep analysis of the Big Issues, and answers to the Big Questions. Sometimes, though, you come here because if you look at that spreadsheet for another second every synapse in your brain will explode, rendering you incapable of coherent speech or rational thought. For those times, might I suggest Beer Golf. I can almost feel productivity across the county slowing to a crawl.
The BBBC is spearheading a new initiative designed to pressure the Dropkick Murphys into coming to Jackson to rock our St. Paddy’s Day celebration. Lar has set up a website where you can add your voice to our cause. The “Demand it!” link below will take you there. Go now.
For those of you who aren’t aware, the Dropkick Murphys are the toughest bunch of beer drinking, rabble rousing, punk rockin’, bourbon swilling bastards ever to come out of Boston. Jackson hosts the third largest St. Paddy’s Day celebration in the country. Yeah, that’s right. For once we’re number three in something good. Obviously it’s a match made in heaven.
So, let’s invite the Murphy’s down for some southern hospitality, BBBC style.
