Keybar: Home of the Rolo Shot

Ah the Rolo. Candy of the gods. Luscious caramel wrapped in a bite sized milk chocolate shell. Mr. Nestlé must have been divinely inspired the day he conceived of this sweet treat.

Douchebag of the Week: 6 Train Door Jammer

Bearded hipsters, bicycles and crowded subway cars are a dangerous combination. This tale of idiocy and some good (if not inconvenient) timing has inspired me to discover my own douchebag of the week.

This Week In Dodgeball: Kickin’ It Old School

Merchant’s House Museum Ain’t ‘Fraid of No Ghosts

Let me start by apologizing for the dearth of updates as of late. I had the best intentions of posting the past few days, but work (and subsequently Rock Band) have kept me away. But no longer! After trying and failing to best Molly Hatchet’s Flirtin’ with Disaster on guitar on the […]
