O'Reilly's, Maggie's, Kilkenny's, McCarthy's, Shaugnessy's. If these names sound inviting to you and make you thirsty, this guide is for you. Anyone who knows me can tell you I love pubs. I love Guinness and Jameson, and I hate light beers and fruity drinks. These are the kind of places where you can order a Boilermaker, a Rusty Nail, a neat Scotch or even a Charles Bronson. If you don't know a Charles Bronson, you're off the man list. Yer out!

Formerly a list of 27, but there's always more to find. A collection of what are undoubtedly the best album covers ever. There are few things in life more satisfying than vinyl, and the art of the album cover is a lost one.

Let’s say you’re west bound traveling through Wyoming on I-80. Your car is almost out of gas and you’ve been traveling this long, boring, winding road for what seems like eternity. Your car has been buffeted back and forth from winds that both suck and blow. You’ve seen more empty prairies, dirt, semis, sagebrush, antelope and cattle than you ever wanted.
