I’m sure you’ve seen these things before floating around Facebook. Some sort of a ‘challenge’ where you’re supposed to do something every day and then tag someone else to do to the same. Well, I got tagged on one and have been moving right along. Here was the challenge: 10 day movie challenge: You are to post just an image, no explanation, from 10 movies that had an impact on you. 10 movies, 10 images, … Continue reading
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’re familiar with the hoopla around Colin Kaepernick and his latest Nike ‘Just Do It’ campaign. I won’t bother going into it here but if you don’t feel free to hit up the Google machine. That said, the memes that this backlash has lead to have been pure gold. Here are some of my favorites.
I’ll start this on sort of a random note. I’ve always been a fan of Jek Porkins. Who doesn’t love a chubby star pilot? Anyhow, from the ‘I can’t believe I didn’t know this’ file comes today’s entry. If you know me even a little but you know that I’m a HUGE Star Wars fan. You probably also know that, like most guys my age, I’m also a huge fan of the Indiana Jones films. While … Continue reading
My brother and I attended Wizard World Comic Con back in March and then stumbled on to an outstanding brewery in Cleveland – Collision Bend Brewery. Collision Bend is located at 1250 Old River Rd which is sort of an out of the way spot for a brewery but it’s well worth your time to check it out. They had a slew of beers to choose from and their flight prices were outstanding. They had a … Continue reading
July 24th is a day that I’ve always got circled on my calendar. It’s the anniversary of the day that I took my life back. 12 years ago today, I quit chewing tobacco. For nearly 18 years I chewed Kodiak, Skoal and Copenhagen on a daily basis… sometimes more than a can per day. Quitting was at the same time one of the most rewarding and most difficult things that I’ve ever done. My wonderful … Continue reading
Parties are incomplete without cocktails. Any generic alcoholic drink having two or more than two ingredients earns itself the title of a cocktail. Does not matter if you are a professional bartender, or assume the role of one for your house party, you should absolutely be familiar with the nitty-gritty of some drinks. From sweet to dry, hot to icy, stirred to shaken, the number of cocktails available today is overwhelming. Selecting a few out … Continue reading
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
