Roadkill Beer Bottles

What, is this the tasteless week here at the Blue Q Blog?
Mebbee.
Now, we usually reserve our Fridays to talk about our own stuff, but there is just some stuff out there that must be investigated….

Yes, these are “hollowed out” roadkill…by Brew Dog. 

Now, you can try their link here, but this must be one hot commodity [...]

Nelson Mandela Car Air Freshener

Let’s look at this Blue Q car air freshener closely, shall we?

Every once in a while there’s a Blue Q product that gets a TON of attention.  This time, it’s this one; the Nelson Mandela Car Air Freshener.
Damn Nelson Mandela, you smell so good!

It was designed by Mother NYC.
Sometimes, they think of just the strangest [...]

Kick-Ass Product Placement

I don’t get out much.
It’s pathetic really.
But yesterday I was convinced to get out and go see Kick-Ass.  I went over to the Beacon Cinema (oh, thank god for you, Beacon Cinema – it’s finally a REAL movie theater over here in the boonies) and checked out that knucklehead up there in that picture there.
For [...]

Natural Products Expo

Once again, Blue Q is the darling of yet another trade show.  This time it’s the Natural Products Expo West show in Anaheim. 
This was a four day show (that  ended over the weekend) and the Blue Q shoppers were singled out by the Editors at the Natural Foods Merchandiser.
This trade show is all about natural [...]

I Slept with Tiger Woods

Not last night – cause I was sleeping with Evan Lysacek.
The night before that I was with Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso.
On Tuesday I was consoling Lindsey Jacobellis.
 
But I slept with Tiger Woods.  Many times over the years.
The first time we met was back in what ? 1995 when he won the US Amateur Championship [...]

Who the hell is Vampire Weekend?

I’ve been coming late to the music scene these days.  Never used to.  Honest.  I saw the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’s  down at the Bowery Ballroom at a time when you could hang out with them and have a drink and ask their manager if they’d ever like to be on NPR and she was like, [...]

Manhattan Restaurant Review

Finding a decent place to eat in Manhattan is a hideous chore.
Only because . . . where do you even start ?

On my most recent trip to Manhattan, I was lucky to meet up with my Cousin Margaret .  She had a thought or two.  And it was restaurant week !
Originally it was going to [...]

Condom Box #2

‘Tongue in Chic”
The Los Angeles Times
The Times wasn’t really talking about the box itself but about The Standard in general.
Lots of hotels have gifts in the rooms – toiletries and such.  Maybe a bottle of water or M&M’s.  There’s stiff competition in the lodging market and at $250.00 a night  you sort expect something more [...]

Pinette was born just outside Boston, Massachusetts and in 1999 he was named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year by the [...]
