Maine man with gun tattoo wakes up to armed police.

Reminds me of when my buddy had a maglite holder on his belt while in a convenient store when suddenly cops arrive to question him. The clerk thought he was carrying a gun and called out of fear she would get robbed or something. The cops, noticing it was a maglite case look at the clerk and in a stern tone say "It's a damn flashlight." They apologize to my friend and leave.

The northeast and its irrational fear of guns is comical.

And before someone says "What kind of idiot gets a gun tattoo?" You have never heard of Christmas Abbott:

This clip is about 90 seconds long - I defy you to make it all the way through.

Reminds me of the drunk yahoos who would bring their guitars and bongos to campus pub nights where they'd play Dead songs which none of them seemed to know how to play.

Quote of the day -

Steven French, 18, who was visiting from Haverhill, Massachusetts, described the chaotic scene to the local paper, The Keene Sentinel, as "wicked."

I don't know whether it proves him right or wrong, but funny how Keene was singled out by John Oliver a couple months ago for its police force having a military-grade armored vehicle and saying that its pumpkin festival was a potential terrorist target.

Jose Canseco's Finger Has Fallen Off Again

If it happened to somebody else, I may not have laughed as much. Great article.

The first time that Jose Canseco became separated from his left middle finger was when he shot himself in late October while cleaning a firearm in the kitchen of his Las Vegas home. The bullet barely missed his wife, who was nearby.

The strangest part of the story is that Canseco didn't hit his wife.

69 people die after drinking beer contaminated with crocodile bile in Mozambique

Honestly I'm not even sure I want to read the story. I might always want it to remain a mystery why someone thought -- "Hey, let's add some crocodile bile to beer and see what happens!"

Post by **brian** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:12 pm

This could also go in the beer thread or the "learn something new every day thread" (apparently, crocodile bile is poisonous.)

Well, one of the die hards over at RateBeer.com has sampled this brew - although, not the contaminated batch...

He wasn't impressed.

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/pumbe/94021/

Pours a milky off white/white and somewhat viscous. Smells intensely sour and boozy with what can best be described as a nail polish undertone. Tastes sour and very acidic and very boozy.

I saw that an Icelandic brewery is making a beer infused with Fin Whale testicles. Fin whales are an endangered species, but Iceland still hunts them to sell the meet to Japan.

I can pretty much tell you right now that the only Icelandic brewery worth trying is Einstok. But if it's them, then it's probably good because their beers are solid.

ETA: And apparently their beers are available in the U.S., though only six or seven states but including NY/NJ

I've seen it in several stores and thought of you. I've seen a couple other Icelandic beers on the shelves recently.

ETA: It seems like a small brewery, and that beer was only sold locally.They are supposedly brewing more and widening the distribution to a second city. Though town or village is probably more accurate.

Odd coincidence. I was going to post this in the beer thread, but now it seems more pertinent, here. Yesterday I received late Christmas presents from my sister-in-law, including a six-pack of Einstok. She knew that I often order it when we visit a little French bistro in town. Good white ale.

I tend to agree with the outrage, because I do hate it when manufacturers cut costs by using lesser ingredients. But, I thought the headlines were funny.
