THE WORLD according to *R3MSTAR* (Tax Season)

"Hmmmm" by: Sweet Sadie

They told you that "Ninjas love the ladies." That's exactly why they love me! You might see them hanging with different girls, but I'm the 1st lady. So why am I gracing you with my presence? Because I love brews. No seriously, I love beer. So I was thinking, why not share my love for the beverage of warriors. I'm new to this blog stuff, but Ive been writing for a while. At the end I will give you my Pretty Lady rating. Try them and see how you feel, then leave me a comment. 

Pretty Lady Rating: (1) a pint= "only a glass" (5) buy a case= "shenanigans and debauchery."
1) Pint
2) Tall Boy
3) 6-Pack
4) 12-Pack
5) Case

I did some research online...you're welcome.

Some old guys somewhere said that prehistoric nomads probably made beer from grain & water before learning how to make bread. They said "beer became ingrained in the culture of civilizations with no significant viticulture." (I'm assuming that means a lot of people liked it.) They said Noah even had it on the Ark. Sounds like shenanigans and debauchery. 4300 BC, Babylonian clay tablets have beer recipes on them. Babylonians produced beer in large quantities with around 20 varieties. (And I thought Sam Adams was doing too much, smh.) 

Beer at this time was so valued that it was sometimes used to pay workers as part of their daily wages. ("Will work for food.")

Early cultures often drank beer through straws to avoid grain hulls left in the beverage. ("You stay classy San Diego.")

Egyptians brewed beer commercially for use by royalty served in gold goblets (PIMP), medical purposes, and as a necessity to be included in burial provisions for the journey to the hereafter. (Read that again.)

Yea they died with beer. That sounds like shenanigans, to me.

Different grains were used in different cultures:
a) Africa used millet, maize and cassava.
b) North America used persimmon although agave was used in Mexico.
c) South America used corn although sweet potatoes were used in Brazil.
d) Japan used rice to make sake.
e) China used wheat to make samshu.
f) Other Asian cultures used sorghum.
g) Russians used rye to make quass or kvass.
h) Egyptians used barley and may have cultivated it strictly for brewing as it made poor bread.

(You didn't know all that either… you're welcome.)

Here's to the first of many.

Fireside Chat - Winter Spiced Ale                           Rating: 2-(Tall Boy)
7.9% Alcohol Content by volume
Yeast- Top Fermenting Ale Yeast
Special Ingredients- Spices, Cocoa Nibs
Color- Deep Ruby Brown


I said, "it smells like Christmas." Goya said, "it tastes like Christmas!" ToNe said "why is FDR talking to an elf?" The beer is smooth and you can truly taste the malt and spices on the first sip. Unfortunately that's only when it's warm. The can is what I like to call a "spice-deflater." When it's cold it has a cinnamon malt flavor but honestly it's as great as if it were on tap. It has a nice full body flavor. Plus it that won't leave you feeling bloated. But I can't do too many of them. It's too much holiday and not enough season. It's only out from October through December, ONLY in cans or on tap. Try it and leave me a comment on what you think.

Kung Fu Flick Satrudays: Rendezvous With Death (1980)

So yeah it a been a minute since I decided to kick in the door with such excitement. But hey, who are you and what kind of style do you practice? You are no match for my Drunken Style... That being said, I digress.
Another joint straight from the faults of the no fuckery era, "Rendezvous With Death" is hard hitting from jump. The variety of weapons and styles is always a good start for what ever martial arts flick you check out. So def make sure you get your dose of sound effects and bad dubbing on this joint.

Saturday Morning Throwy: A Pup Named Scooby Doo

So the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series had gotten a rebirth to break down the roots of Mystery Inc. It was the nitty gritty of the committee and of course the infamous introduction of Red Herring. The difference between the chase scenes in this animation versus the classic is that they would cut to clips of each character of the team, and usually the apparent villain, dancing, na mean. These kids had some of the weirdest adventures known to childhood, and they made it to their young adulthood unscathed! Fortunately the sequel was written way before the prelude and you get an idea of who was what and what was who. In the end, they found a van and learned that smoking weed was the best way to cope with such traumatic experiences. Peace be to the trees and evil lurky people. And we would've of gotten away with it too....

12 Years A Slave…by B.

One night after Halloween, I sat through a two and a half hour nightmare; cringing, turning away, needing to escape, trapped in reality.

Slavery is real. It happened in America. Slavery is America. Whether we’d like to acknowledge, embrace, downplay or deny relation to this nightmare – we’re drenched in it. My parents are foreign born, but every ounce of my being reacted to this movie as if I were indeed a slave. As you would in a horror film, I whispered shouts of pain, anguish and instruction at the screen, nudging my date in the side. “Run, kill him, don’t do it!”

Afterwards, I walked into the public men’s restroom and stood at a urinal next to a white man. Fifty years ago I would’ve been beaten up and arrested. Standing in the line for popcorn, I smiled at a white woman. One hundred years ago, I would’ve been murdered by lynching. I shuddered as chills ran down my spine at the thought of then and reality of now. We are near removed from legal slavery and the Jim crow terrorism in America. The aftershock of this, man’s greatest sin, will reverberate throughout eternity.

The cinematography was exquisite. Texture, color, creative views of water, sky and character drew the eye when the heart wanted to run. The score was haunting, scary, terrific and moving. Heartbreaking drums and shrieking violins made the movies Jaws and Halloween seem like Pee-wee’s Playhouse.

Reel Reviews: Machete Kills

When it comes to movies, you already know there isn't much room to debate with the "GTFOH" scale. Robert Rodriguez goes ahead and says fuck all that and reproduces the absurdity in Danny Trejo's reprisal as "Machete". From jump you know where things are going, starting from the second your hear that Grindhouse preview music and only ridiculousness ensues. How far fetched was the whole premise and continuation of craziness in this sequel? Well...
