Universal Joint Trivia
i play a fair bit of trivia, and there is one place in atlanta that has been rumored to be the hardest, nastiest, mind-boggling trivia in all the land. universal joint trivia. i played a while back and got stomped, bad. since then, i have been talking about this trivia to everyone who would listen, to warn them.
but against my better judgement, me and my merry band of miscreants decided to ante-up, steel ourselves, and forge ahead into the great unknown, and hopefully don't get our asses kicked. here is what we encountered.... (i will post the answers in the comments sections)

Deathrace 2012 – Donna Summer died recently. In 1982, who wrote and played guitar on the song “Protection” about Donna Summer?
FINAL
TWO OPTIONS – ONLY ANSWER ONE
1. Only one group/artist has had 4 #1 Billboard ALBUMS in a single calendar year. Who is it?
2. Which 7 US Presidents were Civil War Veterans?
but at the end of the night we got a very respectable 3rd place, and have now been back 3 times. and have placed 2 out of those 3 times. so we have been slowing but surely taming the beast. one day... maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, we will get first place.....

this is why i love dogs...
Pit Bull saves 2 women from deadly cobra,
dies wagging his tail
"The children in the Fronteras household refer to their dog as "kuya" ("big brother"), and he certainly proved it on the day he sacrificed his life to protect the family.
On Monday, Feb. 12 at around 2 p.m., "Chief", an American Pit Bull Terrier, rescued Liberata la Victoria, 87, and her granddaughter Maria Victoria Fronteras from a deadly cobra which had entered their house through an opening in the kitchen.
Liberata la Victoria and Chief had been watching TV on the sofa when suddenly Chief jumped up and alerted her to the presence of a cobra less than 10 feet away. Maria Victoria rushed in and pulled her grandmother into a separate room, hoping the snake would leave.
But when Maria Victoria later emerged from the room, she was terrified to find the cobra poised about two feet away. Equally startled, the cobra expanded its hood and appeared to be spitting venom as it prepared to strike.
"The snake was in front of us, maneuvering a deadly attack," says Maria Victoria. "I screamed out loud to ask for help."
That's when from "out of nowhere", Chief dashed between the cobra and the two women, using himself as a shield against the cobra's attacks. Chief then seized the cobra by the neck and slammed it into the floor, killing it.
But for Chief it was a Pyrrhic victory. In the struggle, he sustained a fatal bite to the jaw, and moments later he began gasping for breath and collapsed.
The family sought the help of a veterinarian, but they were told that nothing could be done. According to the vet, the bite was too close to Chief's brain, and the venom had already spread. Maria Victoria called her husband Marlone who, stunned by the news, rushed home immediately.
Ian de la Rama, a friend of the family, says it was less than 30 minutes from the time Chief had been bitten that he "went wobbly and lost control of his organs," urinating and defecating uncontrollably. Yet he still kept clinging to life.
It wasn't until Marlone arrived that Chief finally let go. Ian de la Rama describes, "Chief gave his two deep breaths and died. He was fighting and saving his last ounces of breath to see a glimpse of his master for the last two seconds of his life." Ian adds that the last thing Chief did as he gazed up at Marlone was wag his tail."
if they had owned a cat, it would have pushed the family towards the cobra to buy himself more time to escape.

tucker and dale vs evil
if you haven't seen this movie, you are doing a disservice to yourself. it's a great twist/parody on the classic slasher film, cause it's from the perspective of the "slashers". i give it 4.5/5.

mexican derby
once in a while, there is a confluence of conditions that erupts into revolution and dramatic change. this is one of those times....mexican derby.
this year, cinco de mayo and the ketucky derby happened to be on the same day. so to celebrate the occassion, we had a little get together at my place. the happiest of all places. the ladies dressed up in their derby gear, and the guys dressed up in latino stereotypes. drinks were doled out, songs were sung, races were run, and fun spilled out of every pore.
i made some delicious-ass mint juleps and burrito accouterments . beasley made 2 kinds of enchiladas. action jackson made some dip. slambo grilled up some steaks for the burritoes. and dr. p kicked it up a notch with homemade pimento cheese sandwiches. hot for teacher came in strong with some booze. there were some other ladies there, and at least one of them lectured me about smoking, but i digress.
the sun was shining, sun dresses and big hats were out in force, and i was druuuunk. it was a damn good time.
but don't take my word for it.....
beasley, hot for teacher, and action enjoying the day and mint juleps
beasley and some kickass dude
slambo with his prize. we all picked horses.
his came in first.
beasley made the ribbon
fucking awesome fingerfood.
this shit is homemade!
bean dip that was off the hook
beasley's chicken enchiladas
amazing for her first go around
mmmmmmm. meat.
this was for THE BURRITOES
we're all ballas, only top shelf for us
dora the explora pinata
filled with little bottles of liqueur
she's fucking creepy

action took care of the body
dr. p finished her off
aftermath

the porter
me and beasley got a little obsessed with "the porter beer bar" in little 5. i had heard that they had a good burger and a great beer selection.
what i was surprised by was the rest of their food. i noticed they had bone marrow as a special. it came out looking like snot/phlegm/raw-oyster-y. and beasley made quite a face when i pulled the marrow out of the bone. but she soon fell in love with it. cause it's fucking delicious! also, they have this vinegar and salt popcorn. a-mah-zing! it doesn't sound delicious, but trust me, they will fuck up all other popcorn. be careful about breathing in while you eat it, it will try to murder you like asbestos. the beers were good. there was one that beasley really liked, rodenbach grand cru. its fruity and tart, not too bad. but DAMN that place gets fucking crowded. long bar area, with no where really to mill about waiting for a table. but other than that, no real complaints. well, one night we were told there was a 40min wait, and ended up being seated an hour and a half later, and haven't really been back since. but i'm sure we will.
here are the pics!
bacon cheddar burger. eh...not so good.
but the belgian fries (herb and garlic) were delicious
this was the shit:
roasted bone marrow, on a toasted roll, with onions, capers and some other stuff
salt and vinegar popcorn aka. asbestos popcorn
(plus some more belgium fries with charred onion mayo)
