Blast from the Past

I remember when I participated in the “Tap Dance” offered by Hamilton’s DC not to be confused with The Hamilton.

Ah the tap dance

Beer, Crime and Smoked Salt

Chose your beer wisely.

The more you steal the less your punishment.

I’ll take my smoke break with a side of salt.

This is the bill collector on what has to be one of the last cigarette machines in DC.

Bleeps at the right time make this a very different commercial.

A site with some great photos of DC’s LGBT movement.

Birthday, gender and zip? You are not as anonymous as you may think.

Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Why Shouldn’t this Be Allowed?

I’m an adult. I live within walking distance of the location of the awesome vending machine that sold malt liquor. Unfortunately I didn’t get to use it and because people worry about “the kids” it is gone.

When I get fuck you money I’m going to buy a vending machine for my house and fill it with malt liquor.

Proper Way to Cook Bratwurst

DCDan — Sun, 27 May 2012 19:54:28 +0000

Very little compares to eating freshly grilled brats in the summer. I’m going to share with you a time tested technique for making great brats.

First boil 48 oz of light beer, regular beer will smell really bad. Keep a close eye on the beer because it will boil over quickly. I like to use Miller Lite.
While you are waiting for the beer to boil. Cut up an onion into strips.
Once the beer is boiling put in the brats and set a timer for 8 minutes.
When the timer goes off add the onions and set it for eight more minutes.
While this is happening you should toast the buns, this can be done on the grill or use a cast iron pan.
Your next step is to make mustard, get Coleman’s mustard and mix it with water until, it is slightly less thick than toothpaste. Note this stuff is spicy when you use apply it sparingly.
When the timer goes off it is time to brown the brats. Using tongs remove the brats and brown them on the grill or in the cast iron pan. Turn the heat on the onions down to low.
When they are browned strain the onions and use them to top off the brats.
