08/24/11--19:20: Natakhtari Tarxun – “gives filing of childish happiness” (sic) (chan 1578462)

  <— This photo represents the precise opposite of the conditions under which I last drank Natakhtari tarxun. Rather than sitting politely at a table, I was half-faint from heatstroke atop West 8th Street station. And rather than being poured into a glass, the contents of my bottle were exploding and leaking all over my [...]

  So it appears as if we’re in agreement then. Because I’d rather drink what they’re offering in the store just below your billboard.

08/26/11--19:30: Park Slope water table ☃ (chan 1578462)

  If desperate, late-night, over-the-bar, five-dollar energy drink purchases aren’t what rock’n'roll is was all about – then I dont know what rock’n'roll is was all about.     Speaking as a member of the audience.

10/16/11--03:46: Hold on, my nigaas…! (chan 1578462)

…What’s a-missing here?   Champagne!     ケース注文した？ … したよ、ニガァ!

10/22/11--17:06: Illy Issimo™ – “Keep Your Inspiration Going” (chan 1578462)

  While I’m no fan of the ubiquity of Illy, I must admit that – in a pinch – you can survive on these little espressos-in-a-can. Recommend you supplement with something substantial like… wasabi peas.

10/29/11--15:44: Nice! H1N1 Cola (chan 1578462)

  In the Civilized World, this is how it’s done now. Influenza vaccine: available in both 12oz. and two-liter formats. Three flavors.

11/04/11--19:10: Brighton Beach Factually-Accurate Narratives (chan 1578462)

ocean wine?   Overheard on the B-train: Geeky gamer kid 1: (offers juice) Geeky gamer kid 2: No thanks – I don’t want anything with water in it. Geeky gamer kid 1: Everything has water! Geeky gamer kid 2: Naw. Not true. Geeky gamer kid 1: What doesn’t have water in it?! (very short pause) [...]


11/08/11--13:13: Baltica Beach (chan 1578462)

Did I ever tell you the one about the fifteen другz who went drinking on the пляж late oneevery night…?   No?     Well, that joke isn’t funny anymore. ♪♬♫

11/12/11--22:43: Conyne Eylandt (chan 1578462)

         Following a ‘tip’: fool’s errand of the month. Worth a shot, but – no, totally the wrong grandpa. Oh well. So I payed a visit to the amerikanskie gorki instead.

11/18/11--21:43: ½ gallon iced tea (chan 1578462)

  No comment – other than to say I had a difficult time deciding how to crop this photo. And: apologies.

11/24/11--22:47: Ozeki Dry Sake – “Since 1711” (chan 1578462)

  Bizarro Momokawa in a bizarro land.

12/04/11--16:28: “samovar party” (chan 1578462)

  A southern tradition! Which doubly appealed today, since bottomless black tea remedied the earlier mistake of expecting this liquid horsefeathers to work, or to even taste decent.

12/06/11--20:47: Soldatenkaffee (chan 1578462)

(From – Via) You might assume that ^this stunning photo was taken after the war – and you’d be right. It was taken last week.      These, on the other hand…   So much more cheery, no?

12/08/11--17:59: Repurposed bottles, exhibits C & D: (chan 1578462)

(source)   Guangzhou, China – villagers try to stop demolition with Molotov cocktails, broken bottles, and propane tanks.

12/13/11--18:44: Assholocracy (chan 1578462)

“Assholocracy”. There. I said it. But this is silly – simply pointing out the obvious with a novel coinage. Like renaming the sky “the up”. We already know it’s up, by definition!

12/20/11--09:34: 紅茶キノコ (chan 1578462)

  The Occidental kombucha kraze being safely over, I can now express my (recently-acquired) conviction that you can’t find a better vinegary breakfast cereal. Anyway, I’m obliged to support any beverage you can manufacture in a small closet. And by “you” I mean you, i.e. not me. Thanks to: Leonard, Ann, Black Cat.

12/28/11--17:22: Noh cup noh bruck, noh cawfi noh trow weh. (chan 1578462)

I see that Grace, Kennedy & Co., Ltd. has re-branded their soda line. I can’t say I like the look – and certainly the ‘pineapple drink’ hasn’t the rep of Ting (alas, owned by Pepsi). What this bottle does offer, however, is advice. Under the cap:   Actually, no mikkle sticks round here long enough [...]

12/31/11--06:30: Bière d’épinette à l’ancienne. (chan 1578462)

  It’s sorta preposterous the lengths I will go to, favors I will call in, international customs regulations I will break, etc. just to maintain the scantiest sense of personal tradition. Surely someone qualified could draw some sort of insightful conclusions from this. But while we wait: SPRUCE BEER FLOATS.

If you ever need to pick up the last-minute gift of rum within walking distance of a major university…   …just keep walking.

01/11/12--07:51: Oatly – “on itsestään selvä valinta, kun haluat syödä terveellisemmin.” (chan 1578462)

  Oatly. It’s oat milk – made from oats. Called Oatly!

01/17/12--07:31: Sarıkız Sourcherry – “aromalı mineralli gazlı içecek” (chan 1578462)

  A typically untimely follow-up to this post – on that occasion we not only tried the «Nar», we not only tried the «Sourcherry», but we mixed the «Nar» and the «Sourcherry». Those were the days, my friend! When we still knew how to live!
