Drinks Ink: 14 Cocktail, Beer, and Wine-Related Tattoos

Do I Need Pickle Rehab?

"Doomed. Sorry. Medically known as "aceto obsessi," this condition usually results in serious injury from beatings by insecure but tough strangers who mistake your puckered face as a sign of a harsh judgement on their woe - begotten lives. Do not wear harsh "old librarian" glasses, as these intensify the visual effect. Maybe try a veil and try to keep it free of vinegar stains." —fatbaztard

"I'm an eyeglasses-wearing, pickle-loving librarian. You can come sit by me, @sobriquet. Bring your fridge." —Knitter

"Adam, looks like you had a ball with this pie and subsequent documentation. I had a ball reading it. I'd do it!" —Tupper Cooks!

Springtime at McDonald's: We Try The Limited-Edition Strawberry & Creme Pie

"The fact that there is a big hole down the middle is weird but I had to get one because when I was in Italy they had them & they still fry their pies. As a classical archaeologist I had to take part in the so very wrong ritual of eating at the McDonalds across the plaza from the Pantheon." —kdroste
