Allagash the Beer, not the River ---- BEER REVIEW
Get Ready for it. That's right, BEER REVIEW time. I know everyone relies on my beer reviews to find the best beers around, so I'm at again, and have a unique beer for you today.
Allagash White (5.0% ABV) An interpretation of the Belgian Witbier style. Spiced with CuraƧao orange peel and coriander. 175 Calories, comes in bottles It is very tasty. Recommended serving temp 38-50 degrees. Just serve it cold. Brewed in the good ol' USA.
1. Smell: Very nice, fresh, soft smell (4/5)
2. Appearance: Allagash White has a very nice light color. The head is nice (head is always nice) and foamy, good consistency. Overall very very strong appearance. (5/5)
5. BS affect: Things tend to be solid, and does not lead to bad BS's. But drinking a lot of this beer can take your stomach for a ride. (3/5)
6. Sex Appeal: This beer could make you sexier if you aren't sexy at all. It's more of a sophisticated type of beer. But, I doubt this beer can lead you pass first base. Simply put, you wont get your balls played with just cause you are sipping on an Allagash. (3/5)
20/30 -- Overall great tasting beer, solid performer, but a casual beer. Not a partying beer. A big bonus is that Allagash is fun to say.
That's all I got today. This blog is dedicated to a girl from DR work. Because apparently she is a fan of the beer reviews, and I'm a fan of fans.

Guess Who's Back.....
Hello everyone, the Crazy Chicagoan (Me) has decided to come out of blogging retirement. What I really was doing the "Brett Favre" experiment. I wanted to retire and jerk people around for 6 months, and when I dangle the news that I might come back the news will run wild with it.
Well the experiment did not go as planned for two reasons:
1) I have four fans
2) Nobody gives a crap about this blog, but me!
Anyway, I am back and badder than ever. It's time to get to blogging. I will be updating regularly and tomorrow I will bring back beer reviews for you!
Today, I want to talk about something very special. It's Cubs first game of the season at Wrigley Field and the Trib posted this intriguing article.
CINCINNATI — The 95th home opener at Wrigley Field on Monday will be a little different for both the Cubs' players and their fans. Renovations to the bathrooms, the concourse and the ballpark concessions will be on display, while the players will get to see their new lounge, new weight room and other upgrades in and around the clubhouse. Several Cubs players gathered around Sean Marshall's laptop Sunday morning, watching a video of the Wrigley Field renovations. "Same old batting cage," cracked one player, referring to the small net that's lowered from the clubhouse ceiling for players during games. But that's a small quibble, considering what the Rickettses have done to make the cramped Cubs clubhouse as relaxing as possible. "Over the next few years, I'm sure it will get ever better and better," pitcher Ryan Dempster Most of the changes are the idea of the new owners, who added a team nutritionist and a team psychiatrist to the mix. Can these changes help the Cubs succeed? "It makes it a little more comfortable for the players," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "They've done some really nice things for the fans too. But you win on the field. The dietician doesn't get any base hits. It might help the players get base hits." How about the psychiatrist? "I haven't seen him hit a two-run homer yet," Piniella said with a laugh. "But he can help players hit home runs. … All those other things might prepare you a little better to play on the field. Still, when the umpire says play ball, you've got to play." said.
"They seem pretty determined to keep Wrigley Field exactly the same but make the guts of it a lot nicer. It's awesome. It's great for the guys."
It's great that the Rickets made all of these upgrades to Wrigley Field: bathrooms, clubhouse, etc.
WHAT ABOUT UPGRADING THE FU*KING TEAM! That is your number one job, and you failed.
The 2010 Cubs, will be know as the Schlubbies. We have no bullpen, no offensive, suspect defensive and two good starting pitchers. Here is the Crazy Chicagoans list of needed upgrades:
1. Soriano - Trade him for anyone, anything, a case of beer. Just get him out of Chicago. He can't hit and can't field. The only thing he can do is take up a lot of cap room.
2. Bullpen - Is there anyone in the bullpen? Can anyone in there throw a baseball. Sean Marshall can, but its unfortunate that he can't pitch every day.
3. Rothschild - In his years in Chicago he has ruined so many talented pitchers. Get him out of here.
4. Beer Prices - Stop charging 6 - 8 bucks for a 50 cent beer. You can get a six pack of Old Style fro 3.50 at a liquor store. You need to refinance your house to get six beers at Wrigley Field.
Those are the four things I think need to be upgraded. Let me know what you think needs to be upgraded.
I had one more thought about our loveable losers. I think the franchise philosophy should change. Forget trying to win, and concentrate on making Wrigley Field and the Cubs the baseball party capital of the world.
Things need to enhance cubs games since the team blows:
1) Naked Cheerleaders - who doesn't love a naked cheerleader
2) $1 shots during odd numbered innings - This can only turn out well
3) Hotdog eating contests hosted by Joey Chestnut, during the third & eighth innings.
These are my ways for enhancing the Cubs, would love to hear from you guys.

Cold Hard Cash
Hello all Crazy Chicagoan Fans, I am back from my hiatus... You will be getting a flurry of new posts in the upcoming days. Also, those of you who have been promised shirts, they went out today so you should be getting them shortly. Sorry for the delay.
Anyway today's post is about a story I read in the news, let me highlight it for.
A Chinese-Mexican businessman arrested after police found a $205 million stash of cash in his Mexico City mansion has told U.S. prosecutors he sold tons of a chemical used to make methamphetamine on the black market, a top Mexican official told The Associated Press.
Zhenli Ye Gon's lawyers, who are fighting efforts to extradite him to Mexico from the United States, vehemently deny their client admitted anything illegal and call the report misinformation intended to sway public opinion against him.
Mexico's deputy attorney general in charge of extraditions, Leopoldo Velarde Ortiz, said U.S. prosecutors told him about conversations with Ye Gon in which he said he sold tons of a chemical used to make methamphetamine on the black market.
The information was given to Mexican authorities "informally" and U.S. officials have not yet provided transcripts of the conversations or specifics of Ye Gon's account, Velarde said.
"We know that in the interviews he had with prosecutors in the United States, he admitted his responsibility in the commission of the crimes he was accused of," Velarde told AP in an interview this week.
Asked whether Ye Gon, 46, had admitted selling methamphetamine precursors on the black market, Velarde said: "That's it, exactly."
Spokeswoman Laura Sweeney said the Justice Department would have no comment.
The case against Ye Gon burst open in March 2007 when police raided his house in Mexico City's fanciest neighborhood and found more than $205 million in cash — mostly in $100 bills — stuffed into a closet and a wall. It was the largest drug-related cash seizure in history.
Ye Gon, who was born in Shanghai and became a Mexican citizen in 2002, was in the United States at the time; he kept a mistress and a Lamborghini in Las Vegas.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says Ye Gon lost more than $120 million gambling over the years, and Ye Gon himself spoke of betting $150,000 a hand at baccarat. He said he was such a treasured customer that the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino gave him a small token of its appreciation: a Rolls-Royce.
Where should I start? The fact that he has lost 120 million dollars gambling. How bad are you gambling, he must have taken the Washington Generals every night, I mean come on they a due for a win. Or the fact that he has kept a mistress and a Lambo in Vegas. Doesn't everyone have a mistress in vegas, they cost 100 bucks on any corner. Where does he keep this Lambo, why didn't he buy a house in vegas. Answer: When he went to pay for it in 100 dollar bills, the sellers got a little suspicious. My last and final question is why is a baller like this gambling at the Venetian? Cesar's anyone, Bellagio, Wynn, way nicer....
Here is the full article - pretty funny stuff.. I bet his mom makes a killer General Tso's Taco.

Dr. Suess - Jon & Kate I Hate (by Crazy Chicagoan)
If there is one thing that makes me irate,
It is Jon & Kate plus Eight.
These stupid fuckers
take up all the news time
just to make a lousy dime.
Our country has bigger problems at hand
Jon & Kate should be fucking banned.
Every time I hear about Jon & Kate plus Eight
I want to slit my throat with a rusty Ice-Skate.
High School brutality has become an after school sport
But no one hears about it, Because Jon & Kate wouldn't just abort
Our country is running out of money at an alarming rate
But no one can hear about it, because those fucking bastards Jon & Kate
Every time I hear about Jon & Kate plus Eight
I want to slit my throat with a rusty Ice-Skate.
Our health care system does nothing and its really been sucking
But the media would rather report on who Jon has been fucking
I could care less if Kate is a bitch and on the view crying
I want to hear why our fat Mayor Daley has been lying
When American watches Kate and her kids prancing around the farm
They are ignoring all the starving kids who are barely lift an arm.
The media is as much to blame
for creating Jon & Kate unworthy fame.
But who cares that California can't afford to keep kids in school
because Jon went out last night in Vegas and acted a fool
Jon is Dick and Kate is whore
please media don't air them any more!
In Final,
Every time I hear about Jon & Kate plus Eight
I want to slit my throat with a rusty Ice-Skate.

Best Movie Bands of All-Time
I want to start off by apologizing for my lack of posting last week. The Crazy Chicagoan was really Crazy.
Today's blog will feature a poll, and it is all about the best movie bands of all time. There have been a lot of good movie bands, and here is who I think the Top 5 are and why:
This is Spinal Tap: By far the funniest movie that featured a band. This Heavy Metal Band rocked out and had some extremely wild behavior. Spinal Tap artist featured wild long hair, great facial hair, and they were loud as hell. Great Movie, Great Band
Wyld Stallyns - Bill and Ted, need I say more. The Wyld Stallyns created a universe, battled evil Us'es, and did a history report. They rocked out like none other, and played amazing air guitars. Met legends like Abe Lincoln, Gangus Kahn, So--crates, etc. This band is legendary, and had a great publicist (George Karlin). Great spelling of the band name as well, I would have spelled it like that.
Oneders (pronouced wonders) - Had one amazing hit song "That Thing You Do". Had a great drummer nicknamed shades, there one groupie was Liv Tyler (pretty hot), and even had a fill in base player called the wolfman. Does it get any better than that. They could have give the Beatles a ride for there money, if they were real.
The Dan Band- I know this is a wedding bang, but come on, they fucking need you more than ever. The Dan Band played some pretty great weddings, and had no problem using some choice language. Any band that can drop the f-bomb like this deserves to be on the best movie band list. The Hangover and Old School two comedy greats.
Stillwater - The rock and roll band from Almost Famous. They probably played the best music of all of the bands. Had extremely hot groupies, that counts for a lot. Did a lot of drugs, that makes for good music. Not to mention the lead singer was banging Kate Hudson (got naked in the movie). Stillwater was a over all solid movie band.
My favorite, should be no surprise to anyone, THE WYLD STALLYNS, vote for yours, or choose other and tell us what that other is....

The Skinny on Lingerie Football
Football has become the most popular sport in America. Mesmerizing millions of men and women during fall and winter months. A bunch of overweight, over steroided (made up word), and overpaid men in tights beating the hell out of each other. Personally, I am a huge football fan, I live and die by the Chicago Bears. But now Chicago has a new football team on the horizon.
The CHICAGO BLISS, that's right, Chicago's very own Lingerie Football team. I have never been to a game, or actually seen one live. I have watched numerous clips on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB_6qhLYpCs&feature=related) and read articles on the team. A couple FACTS that I have come to realize.
- 95% of these girls have no athletic talent
- 99% of these girls have never played football before
- 85% of these girls can't spell football, touchdown, first down or kickoff
- 100% of them are hot and wear lingerie!!
My first thought was, amazing, hot girls, wearing nothing, playing football. Does it get any better than that? My second thought was, these girls are terrible at football and are ruining the game. My third thought was man I love it when hot girls run. My fourth thought was man these girls are running like chickens with mental problems.
Here is the thing, I feel bad for the girls that are participating in Lingerie football for the following reasons:
A. Nobody is ever going to take you serious
B. You could be make a lot more money stripping; especially with the right clientele.
C. A lot of creepy old men watch football, and are now going to stalk you. (slapping the base man!)
I think that if somebody put together a legit women's football league, people would watch. I think Lingerie Football is hurting women more than they know. This league is basically mocking women, and catering to men's egos. They should call this what it is, "skinny bit**es wearing nothing, running around with a ball"
Thats what I have to say about that....
