Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of my favorite television programs not only because it’s completely off-the-wall-hilarious, but because they have some great ideas that translate well into everyday life – i.e., wine in a can. My favorite episode is when The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention; excerpts shown above.
A three-day weekend?? College football??? Temps in the mid-80’s with only moderate humidity???? Doesn’t get better than that, sahn.
If you need me, I’ll be at Scandals.

People do stupid things when they drink too much. Fortunately, these bonehead moves rarely make national headlines…unless you’re this guy.
Bloomberg.com’s headline reads:
Ouch. James Carl Haggerty walked into a bar with the painting, drank for several  hours, left with the painting, yet managed to arrive home sans painting. Perhaps he left it in the taxi? This isn’t a Blackberry, James, it’s a $1.4 million, art historically important painting by renowned artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. James was hired by co-owners Tom Doyle and Kristen Trudgeon to have the painting appraised, and earned a nice $25,000 fee for his troubles. Understandably, they are now suing him, deeming his rock-solid explanation unacceptable:
“The next morning, Haggerty informed Doyle that he did not have the painting, and could not recall its whereabouts citing that he had too much to drink the previous evening,†the suit says.
At least he’s being honest. You can’t help but feel sorry for him – I bet his moral hangover was off the charts.
I suppose this story is too outlandishly ridiculous to really teach us a lesson in the perils of over-consumption – maybe Smart Water’s new advertising campaign is more on-level:
that is a very wise billboard

I’m not saying this is a road I’d ever want to travel down, but Boobs Legsly’s plastic surgeon is a true artiste.
This looks a little pervy, but whatevs – gotta give credit where credit’s due.

Despite an auspicious beginning to my relationship with margs (El Amigo – which is somehow still open, btw – topped theirs off with a murky liquid that bore a striking resemblance to dishwater), we have grown to have a very companionable existence.
Which means to say: I love a good margarita.
So – where are the best in the city? Well. According to a May 2010 city-wide poll by Citysearch, the favorites are as follows:
The AJC food critics say:
I don’t have strong feelings about either of these lists, but I will say this about Taqueria: they do an excellent marg, but I had a very unpleasant experience back in ’06 wherein the bartender refused to give me my own personal pitcher, saying he had to have two ID’s per order. I offered to show him my ID twice, but he said that wasn’t the same.
I realize this all sounds a tad aggressive, but desperate times, desperate measures…either way, they failed me in my time of need. Were it not for this grudge I refuse to let go of, they’d likely be numero uno. Too bad, Taqueria, tooooo bad:
how good does that look.

Google is amazing, IMO: Gmail, Chrome, Google Images and Video, Google Earth, Google Reader…and that’s just a drop in the bucket.
YKenna shared this interactive short with me, and it’s badass. Close out everything else on your computer and access the link below via Google Chrome.
