  Hunter S. Thompson Motivational Posters

  contributed by rtcrooks December 31, 2008 at 12:19pm

  While drafting the recent guide outlining the real dangers associated with combining different types of alcohol, I got to thinking about one of the most prominent and outspoken substance-mixers of our time, the late Hunter S. Thompson. A man who graciously documented the uncharted depths of the binge unlike any other in history, HST provided us with nuggets of wisdom and encouragement all along the way. So instead of merely sharing a list of my favorite quotes from the author, I have placed them in their proper environment, the pervasive motivational poster.

  26 Shameless and Slightly Vulgar Bar Pick Up Lines

  contributed by rtcrooks December 30, 2008 at 11:15am

  A few months ago we posted a list of my favorite pick up lines which could realistically produce results. Many would argue that pick-up lines are cheasy and generate no potential to getting that much sought-after positive attention from the fairer sex. I would, however, dare to contest the standard and say that there are some that are so original and so bizarre that they at least could - maybe in an ironic way - generate a laugh and be the source to more conversation with a young lady. If they do not, and if you are in fact trying some of these at a Christian university, prepare to get slapped... because some of them are rather crass.

  The Real Dangers of Mixing Different Types of Alcohol

  contributed by rtcrooks December 29, 2008 at 9:42pm

  Beer before liquor, you've never been sicker. Liquor before beer, you're in the clear. These are arguably the best known phrases with regard to mixing different types of alcohol throughout your evening. But much is left to the imagination. The adage does not address the differences between varieties of alcohol, the combination of more than two drink types, and wine is left completely out of the equation.

   

  As a result, we have decided to set the record straight, in order to give you a realistic idea of what to expect when specific types of booze are mixed. If used appropriately, following this key can save you a trip to the emergency room and/or the police station. Also, if you wake up naked in a stranger's bathtub come New Year's Day, it can be useful in connecting the dots from the previous evening.

  This specimen is found in a compromising position, perfectly preserved in his original state from the night before. Wonder what he was thinking just before he passed out? Look no further than the Anal Invasion VHS sticking out of the VCR.

  Christmas Cancelled: Santa Held For DUI

  contributed by rtcrooks December 23, 2008 at 6:25pm

  

  Nick "Santa" Claus being held on $500,000 bail after DUI arrest Monday morning.

   

  December 23, 2008, Costa Mesa, CA  Orange County Sheriff’s deputies arrested an elderly man in Costa Mesa, CA on Monday December 22, suspected of driving under the influence of a controlled substance. Nick "Santa" Claus was arrested at the 19th block of Harbor Boulevard, a sheriff’s report stated.
  
  A search of Claus’ large bag turned up a small sack of cocaine, as well as several empty bottles of charcoal filtered vodka. Reportedly, Claus claimed the drugs were “for a friend.” A young, scantily clad woman was found sleeping the backseat of the sleigh. When asked to identify the woman, Claus responded only, “Ho, ho ho.”
  
  Claus’ sleigh was pulled over early Monday morning when deputies noticed the vehicle swerving in and out of traffic without Rudolph’s nose lit up. Upon closer inspection, officers noted that the vehicle was dragging what appeared to be a large animal corpse behind it. 
  
  Officers later confirmed that the corpse was in fact one of Claus’ 8 reindeer, though his name has not yet been disclosed.  An autopsy of the reindeer cited cardiac arrest as the official cause of death. It is thought that cocaine use and physical exhaustion may have also played a part in the death. Authorities noted that, due to the defendant’s level of intoxication, this animal was most likely dragged behind the vehicle for several hours. 
  
  Consequently, Claus was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, the police report stated.  Claus remains in police custody and his bail is set at $500,000.  The judge noted that Claus’ case is unique, stating, “When narcotics are involved, Mr. Claus’ uncanny ability to reach large numbers of people in a very short period of time poses a particular threat to the safety of our communities.” He is awaiting an upcoming court hearing where he will face charges on the aforementioned drug-related crimes, as well as possible charges of animal cruelty and gross negligence.
  
  Claus has been unavailable for comment.
