Time for a bender

Here at the Big Yell Nast, we're committed to providing edgy commentary on random snippets of popular culture. Sometimes, however, other news services beat us to the punch.

Take this article on Modern Drunkard Magazine's third annual convention (Thanks for the heads up, Woot WWWoundup!). We don't even know if it's all for real, but we sure as heck know that the process of writing the article involved lots of beers.

It's about a three-day mass bender that takes place beneath that neon cowboy in Vegas. The one you see in all the movies but have never seen in real Vegas.

But you should read the story yourself. We're only here to answer a few questions the story doesn't have time to get to. And here they are:

Is Modern Drunkard a real magazine?

Yes. Here's their Web site: www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com.

Seriously?

Yeah. They have stories such as Guns and Tequila: The wet and wild life of famed director (and infamous drunkard) Sam Peckinpah.

Do they have cool merchandise?

Yes. Like that t-shirt above. Even a fez.

Would a subscription be a good gift idea for my drunk uncle?

Yes, but only if he can read.

You guys recommend any other magazines?

We used to like Giant Magazine, but it's really gone to hell in the last two issues. A larger rant on that is probably coming soon. We like Men's Health, although they probably wouldn't like Modern Drunkard.

Coming soon: A beer that tastes like a kids' cereal.

Fergalicious!
