Studies confirm what I already knew- I’m drinking beer for my health!  The bottom line is the silicon content in beer contributes to good bone health.  And a bonus for me- hoppier beers tend to have higher silicon contents.  Two average beers could provide a person’s recommended daily dosage of silicon.  Of course, they also had to throw in that two beers a day could contribute to medical problems but whatever.  I’d like to toast this latest medical breakthrough!

The Saints upset the Colts 31-17 last night and we can now retire that stupid “Who Dat?” crap that’s been shoved in our ears the last few days.  I was rooting for the commercials myself and while there were some good ones (Betty White in the Snickers commercial, some of the Doritos ones), there were plenty of duds.  E*Trade should have gotten the memo that talking babies is soooooooo last season and is Go Daddy selling anything but smut?  Keep your clothes on you whores.

Commercial break over, back to the game…  the Saints overcame a 10 point deficit in the first to make it an interesting the first three quarters.  Besides one TD in the third, it looked like Garrett Hartley’s foot was the only scoring apparatus on the Saints team!  There were some wild plays like the onside kick fumbled by Hank Baskett into the arms of a Saint and Moore’s headstand at the endzone barely managing to break the plane with the ball for a successful 2 point conversion- who knew junior high breakdancing would come in handy in the NFL?  That pretty much locked it up but Porter read Manning’s intended target like a book, stepping in to intercept whatever chances the Colts still had at that point.  We can now start Mardi Gras early!

And 2nd, and 3rd, 4th, and 5th. 

With the French Toast alert on high, I drove the winter beater to an off-site meeting today.  The G20 isn’t the prettiest car; OK, she’s like a buck-toothed tranvestite who has taken it in the rear and been backed into and her clutch is starting to slip, but she can still handle well.  To the STI I owned on the onramp to the turnpike, learn to turn!  Not all roads are in a straight line.   Home already and I didn’t even get the opportunity to put the Blizzaks to good use.  Bring on the white powder!  And not the kind Hollywood likes to snort up…

87,000 British people suffer alcohol related glass attacks each year and instead of focusing on the root cause of alcohol related violence (like binge drinking or rage issues), the British government unveiled two new shatterproof pint glasses to combat the problem- and they say save billions a year in health care costs.  At least they are NOT plastic, because most people who like beer object to drinking it like PBR at a frat party.  They either have a thin bio-resin coating or bonds the two thin layers of glass together similar to a windshield, so they can crack but won’t become shards of glass.  It’s up to the bar if they want to use the glasses but those that choose to use them can continue to let their patrons get smashed without smashing their glasses to use as weapons.  Next up- they’ll spend millions studying feature-enhancing beer goggles to help lonely British women with multi-directional teeth get shagged on occasion.
