Bunkhouse closed again?

Heard someone mention this at the hash last night…thought it was just confusion about their having closed and reopened, but that’s apparently not the case:

Bunkhouse Saloon in downtown Las Vegas closes

The Bunkhouse Saloon has inexplicably gone dark. With seemingly no notice or explanation, the popular downtown music destination at 124 S. 11th Street issued word via its Facebook page that it is no longer operational, as of today:

“The Bunkhouse Saloon regrets to announce that we have closed our doors, effective immediately. Ticketholders for future shows will be contacted by Ticketfly regarding refunds. On behalf of our staff, management, and production team we would like to thank every artist who graced our stage and every person who visited us for a show or a cold beer. You made Bunkhouse something we will never forget.”

The closing announcement comes just less than a year after the venue re-opened this past fall after undergoing extensive renovations, including improvements to the staging and sound, as well as expanding the capacity and moving the entrance.

Hops…phytoestrogenic?  Say it ain’t so!

Your favorite beer might be giving you man boobs

It might seem manly to drink beer, but a chemical found in hops might be the cause of some very feminine attributes.

Hops, which gives beer its flavor, are female flowers of the hop plant and contain high levels of phytoestrogen—a plant estrogen.

According to research conducted by acclaimed herbalist and author Stephen Harrod Buhner, hops can also contribute to breast development in men and to a condition called “brewer’s droop”—or impotence brought on by heavy drinking.

The first transblack?

Who would’ve ever thought to use Soul Man as a gameplan for life?

Rachel Dolezal the NAACP leader outed as WHITE by her parents

An NAACP leader’s parents have made a startling revelation: their daughter, for years a highly visible civil rights activist in Eastern Washington, is white.

Rachel Dolezal, Spokane’s NAACP Chapter President and part-time Africana Studies professor at Eastern Washington University, has been misleading people about her ethnicity for years, her parents say.

Her mother even offered photographic proof. While today the 37-year-old divorcee currently sports tight, dark curls, her mom Ruthanne Dolezal showed KREM photos of the fair and freckled blonde daughter she once knew.

Dolezal is now facing a city ethics probe after she identified herself as black in an application to serve on a local police ombudsman commission – a position she secured.

…and just in case there’s any doubt, here’s an older photo:

…in which she looks about as black as Navin Johnson.

Isn’t there a regulation against this?

I’m just an Air Force brat (with three years of AFJROTC and one year of AFROTC under my belt), but I suspect that red high heels aren’t authorized for wear with uniforms even for women, let alone for men.  Do commanders get to just make up changes of this sort on-the-fly?  That’s also doubtful.  How, then, was this allowed to happen?

See, this is the kind of thing that sinks Army morale

Yesterday, we discussed a couple dozen things that bad leadership does to produce morale lower than a boil on a bushmaster’s belly. The kind of morale that the Army has right now.

But that was before we saw the latest in imbecilic social-engineering from these losers who couldn’t lead feces down a drainpipe to a septic tank. We are not making this up:

Mandatory high-heel march.

How long before the social engineers running the joint manage to reduce the military to this?  (C’mon…you knew this was coming.)

A new low for revenue farming

Besides, wasn’t the cop in question way out of his jurisdiction?  What’s a Boulder City cop doing writing tickets at Blue Diamond and the 15?  Seems that’d be Metro’s or NHP’s turf.  Beyond that, though, aren’t there real criminals out there they could be catching, or is real police work getting too difficult for the po-po?

Driver claims she got $200 ticket for putting on lip balm behind the wheel

The Nevada Highway Patrol has a campaign to crackdown on distracted drivers, but how far is too far when it comes to cracking the whip? 8 News NOW decided to examine that question after a Las Vegas woman said she received a ticket from a Boulder City police officer for putting on lip balm at a red light.

Stephanie Fragoso said she was cited Wednesday during the statewide crackdown. She said she was at a red light at I-15 and Blue Diamond when it happened.

Fragoso said when she asked the officer why he pulled her over, he told her it was for putting on makeup.

“I told him it was Chapstick,” Fragoso said.

Initially, Fragoso thought the entire thing was a joke, especially since it was April Fools Day, but when she received the citation, she quickly realized that wasn’t the case.

“He said ‘it could have been anything; you could have been drinking water, shaving your legs’,” said Fragoso.

 

Would it be wrong to lead this off with “WTF?”

tmpPossibly more funny than that Austrian village (sign on the right):

The man with the world’s most unfortunate name: Mr Guilherme Carabagiale F**k (who insists it’s actually pronounced ‘Foo-kee’)

Meet the gentleman with what is widely considered the world’s most unfortunate name – Guilherme Carabagiale F**k.

The Brazilian student has the unusual last name – which he insists is actually pronounced ‘Foo-kee’ – thanks to his German heritage.

The talented sportsman insists he isn’t ashamed of his name – but admits that he find it easier to be identified by his other surname of Carabagiale when playing college basketball in Canada.

Take flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th? What could possibly go wrong?

This is probably the only time you’ll see me link the Grauniad…this is kinda funny:

Friday 13th travellers take chance on flight 666 to HEL

Would you board flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th? For superstitious travellers, that might be tempting fate. But Finnair passengers on AY666 to Helsinki apparently were not too bothered. Friday’s flight was almost full.

“It has been quite a joke among the pilots,” said pilot Juha-Pekka Keidasto before flying the Airbus A320 from Copenhagen to Helsinki. “I’m not a superstitious man. It’s only a coincidence for me.”

The daily flight AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki falls on Friday the 13th twice in 2013.
