Designer and Whiskerino artist extraordinaire Tim McSweeney sent us this closed sign from Brooklyn. No it doesn’t match the creativity of the Best Wet Paint Sign in NYC or the randomness of the No Tweekers Sign, it does, however, get the point across. New Yorkers were not impressed with the storm.

“To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve “

So I was trying to settle a bet about the ABV of PBR. Like most prove-you-wrongers, I whipped out the iPhone. Not sure what the PBR OGs or even people paying $44/bottle in China would say about this autocorrect suggestion for Pabst but I, for one, am insulted. It’s not like I typed Zima.
BTW, PBR‘s ABV is See the rest »

Look who was staying at the same hotel I spent 10 days at just the week before.
Our friend and Petaluma Whiskerino champ Jack Passion was in NYC for the premiere of his new show Whisker Wars on IFC. Small, hairy world.

Maybe it’s one of those so-bad-it’s-good tags. But maybe it’s just so bad. Either way, Shitfuck deserves a big “Really?”.

While Ron Swanson‘s ‘stache is magnificent in all its Flanders-ishness, a handlebar’s a handlebar. Pretty tough to beat. Proven by this latest Heineken spot:
Is that the ‘stache from the LEGO CL!CK / Brick Thief spots?
Well this was a surprise.
While the title suggests a mashup of Wu-Tang Clan‘s 36 Chambers and Fugazi’s 13 Songs, it’s actually more. Much more. In fact, producer/emcee Cecil Otter and producer/musician Swiss Andy took a whole year to pour through every album and every recording from both bands. Wugazi 13 Chambers is the result.
The album opener pulls from Fugazi‘s Instrument soundtrack “I’m So Tired” and Enter the Wu-Tang‘s C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Runs Everything Around Me). Whatever doubts you had upon reading the headline will be comforted within the first, sick-ass minute. What a rad idea.

There’s even a festival devoted entirely to eating cats Festival Gastronomico del Gato every September in Peru. Alas, this is not an ad for said fest. Nor does the Starter Guide set you down the path to becoming a feline feast fancier. It’s actually some sort of meatless propaganda. Bummer. Now it’s got me rethinking other animals, too. Like a grilled Panda Cow or Poodle-Bison burger. Mmm.
Spotted in Petaluma (the same placement as Healy’s Naked Power grab).

Gawker just did a mention on Lonely Island becoming Creative Directors for Rökk Vodka. But the word on their hire hit streets last November along with this “viral” video starring Nicky Whelon. Maybe no one believed them ‘cuz of the name? Coming from Andy Samberg and crew, however necessary a Swedish umlaut is, it still seems like a fake product.
