Last Sunday night, the WWE held its annual Money In The Bank event live on the WWE Network at the Allstate Arena. It was the ninth event under the Money in the Bank chronology. I’m thrilled to say that WWE is back to monthly PPV shows rather than the oppressive twice a month schedule. That said I’ve cut WAY back on my wrestling viewing for a variety of reasons including being just too damn busy and quite frankly wrestling has … Continue reading
Yesterday was Father’s Day. As they always do, my family treated me to an awesome day with some outstanding gifts (a new Cleveland shirt, Tribe hat, etc.) I was surfing Facebook this AM and ran across a friend who had received this product and I figured this was a great day to feature it on Beer Shots. The Whiskey Wedge helps you achieve a nice cold pour while avoiding watering down your favorite libation. I got … Continue reading
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Pic From 406 entry and I figured this was as good as any to get us kickstarted again. This week’s entry for Throwback Thursday was originally posted to the site the week of January 1st, 2002 with the following caption(s): Top 5 Captions: 5. Someone’s in my bed, so I had to find some place to crash. 4. Damn, I dropped my keys… 3. Might as well paint … Continue reading
Every Journey Has a Beginning I’d heard rumblings but if I’m being honest I either A) didn’t think it would really happen or B) forgot about it. The first trailer for Bumblebee (2018) just dropped and it shows the loveable Bee in all his Generation 1 Volkswagen Beetle glory. Bumblebee is directed by Travis Knight and written by Christina Hodson. It is centered around the titular character and a prequel to the events of the Transformers film series. It will star Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg … Continue reading
The Big Island of Hawaii is in the news with the recent eruption of Mount Kilauea. Wife and I visited the back in 2003 and were lucky enough to be able to get up close to the ‘regular’ eruption which has been going for years now. Figured now was as good a time as any to finally get these pictures migrated from the old 406 server which has since been decommissioned. The images and descriptions here were … Continue reading
I ran across this meme the other day and it really struck me. If you’re not familiar with Falling Down it’s 1993 thriller directed by Joel Schumacher. It stars Michael Douglas as William Foster, a divorced and unemployed former defense engineer. He treks on foot across the city of Los Angeles, trying to reach the house of his estranged ex-wife in time for his daughter’s birthday party. Along the way, a series of encounters, both trivial and provocative, cause him to react … Continue reading
The last time I added a Beer Shots entry here on the blog I started out the post by saying, “It’s been forever and a day since I’ve added a new Beer Shots entry.” That was 14 months ago. Needless to say I’ve not been keeping up my promise to myself to be a better blogger. That said, back again tonight with a pic that… well… just feels right. The last pic was from The Annex and … Continue reading
This year the WWE returned to New Orleans to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the biggest night of the year for wrestling fans – WrestleMania 34.

The class of 2018 inductees included Goldberg, Ivory, Jeff Jarrett, Hillbilly Jim, Mark Henry, The Dudley Boyz … Continue reading
My buddy Jordan had a tremendous idea. Every March he thinks about building a bracket of the best 64 WWE-NWO entrance songs and advancing them through voting each week of the actual NCAA tourney! He asked me to put together my list. He’s doing the same and he’s got another buddy who’s doing the same. We’re going to pull the three lists together and seed them into the official bracket. We’ve broken our regions out … Continue reading
Well… it looks like this is going to be my last post for a while. I got this email this morning from the FBI and it looks like I’m going to jail. SUBJECT: From Federal Bureau Of Investigation.. FROM: FBI Urgent Attention To You. We sincerely apologized for sending you this sensitive information via e-mail instead of a certified mail, post-mail, phone or face to face conversation, it is due to the urgency and importance of the … Continue reading
