This spammer broke two of his own three rules! If only he had included a profanity, he could have had the hat trick. If you’re a Second Lifer, give “J87 Bravin” and “MrString Magic” a nice slap upside the head for me next time you see them.

>> Apple Bottom Screw

I swear to god, by the end of 2009 I’m going to make this the number one asked-for drink at bars nationwide. No, it doesn’t exist, but still. Seriously, walk into a bar and ask for an Apple Bottom Screw. Watch the reaction you get. Priceless.
