J&D’s Bacon Lube is, unfortunately, very real
And so it was, 2.5 years ago when the world was at the height of its almost irritating obsession with bacon when someone emailed me the apparent existence of a product – J&D’s Bacon Lube. Known for their oddball bacon products like Bacon Salt, Bacon Mayonnaise and various other bacon-related foods (but no actual bacon) it appeared as though J&D Foods was moving into the adult lubricant market. My general reaction was something like “WHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY” … Read entire article »

Oh look, it’s Baltimore radio DJ Glenn Beck
So there I was, drunkenly surfing Youtube for some Mr. Ray’s Hair weave commercials when I stumble upon a gem of gems, a commercial for B 104 and their morning show, during which they’re *really excited* about giving away $10,000 to one lucky birthday winner! Recognize the guy in the middle sporting the Orioles jacket? Yes? No? Whatever, it’s Glenn Beck. Yes, that Glenn Beck. Mr. 9/12, restore America blah blah blahhhhhhhhhhh something conservative Glenn Beck. … Read entire article »
Review: This weird thing I just ate
So this thing is, according to the lady at the register, a “hamburger,” but the guy next to her chimed in and said “It CHINESE hamburger!” and it was only 3 bucks so I was all, “I’d buy THAT for a dollar!” and pulled the trigger on the purchase and subsequently paid three dollars instead of one. But I digress. Well let’s just say when it finally came to me on the plate I started … Read entire article »

City That Breeds Bumper Stickers and The Rat Fishing Video Post
After this interesting-to-me-only exchange witnessed yesterday on Facebook, I found myself remembering this slightly uncomfortable Youtube video filed under “Wait this is a thing?” shot in 1995, where a guy from DC interviews the Baltimore Association of Rat Fisherpersons, or B.A.R.F., as they hold their 3rd annual (and final) rat fishing tournament at Yellow Rose Saloon in Baltimore. The leader Chuck (that’s what I’d guess you’d call him) actually got a fair amount of text … Read entire article »

Ray Lewis has a new nickname, embrace it
In a press release yesterday, Dunkadelic Sports Marketing representative Derrick Vaugh (Basketball & Hip-Hop That’s Dunkadelic!) alerted the entirety of all Baltimore news media outlets that effective immediately, linebacker Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens will forthwith be known as “Raytorious L52.” The nickname is designed to liken Ray Lewis to Notorious B.I.G. as “The rap legend loomed large over the hip-hop landscape just as Lewis does on defense.” The “L” stands for “Legend,” while 52 refers to his jersey number. The release also nicknames Lewis “The Undisputed Defensive Heavyweight Champion” of the NFL, likening his upbringing, past turmoils and career longevity to that of Muhammad Ali. So essentially, Ray Lewis is some sort of big fat rappin’ boxer football guy. I don’t want to use any hyperbole here, but this is … Read entire article »
