Return your can or you might get Tango'd - Yahoo! News:
LONDON (Reuters) - Drinks company Britvic said on Friday it was recalling thousands of cans of Tango soft drink because of concerns they might explode.The company, which uses TV adverts featuring people getting drenched in soft drink with the catchphrase "You know when you've been Tango'd," said the "precautionary measure" came after a small number of complaints about cans bursting.
"Although not unsafe to drink, the products could contain a naturally-occurring yeast, which over an extended storage period might generate a build up of carbon dioxide that could distort or burst the packaging," the firm said in a statement.
You want a refund on your drink just because it might explode a little? Get out of my bar. Try that fern-and-chrome tourist trap over on Elder and Wood, where you can get your drinks with the little umbrellas in them.
Mooks.

New meaning to "drinking contest"
If we can convince the Cynosure City Council to do this, we'll be rich!
Beer drinking survey has Germany's Schroeder ahead - Yahoo! News:
BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's Social Democrats are trailing opposition leader Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats in all the leading opinion polls ahead of a September 18 general election.But Schroeder's SPD have nevertheless opened up a comfortable lead of 117 litres in an unusual "Vote With Your Throat" beer drinking survey at a popular tavern in the government quarter.
The "Waehle mit der Kehle" poll allows beer drinkers at the Bundespressestrand to choose between the "Schroeder tap," which is painted in the SPD color red, or the "Merkel tap," painted in Merkel's CDU banner color of black.
Exactly 1,319 litres of the Schroeder beer were purchased in the first two weeks of the race, according to a digital measuring device at the beach-style bar across the River Spree from the Reichstag building, compared to Merkel's 1,202 litres.
The results of the poll, sponsored by the German-language Financial Times Deutschland newspaper, are published each day on the newspaper's Internet site (www.ftd.de/kehle).
Merkel had opened an early 105-liter advantage after the first weekend of the beer polling, but Schroeder mounted a furious comeback, racing to a 151-liter lead after the second weekend before it started to dry up again.
By contrast, the CDU lead the SPD by between 14-11 points in the latest opinion polls.

Bob, get back here!
Mysterious reptile eludes capture in park (Reuters):
Reuters - A mysterious, alligator-like creature that surfaced in a Los Angeles suburb has eluded capture for nearly a week, shrewdly passing up raw chicken bait and dodging reptile wranglers in pontoon boats. The 5-foot-long (1.5 meter) reptile was first spotted last Wednesday swimming in a lake at an urban park in the gritty Los Angeles suburb of Harbor City.
Gin. You need to capture him with gin. Bourbon in a pinch.
If you do catch him, deliver him back here, and we'll buy all your drinks for the night.

Three ounces of flesh
As you may know, due to a production slip-up two pages were inadvertently left out of The Legend of GrimJack Volume Three -- pages 12 and 13 from issue 12, to be specific. IDW Publishing is busy working out a cure; until then, we offer you the two missing pages here for your reading pleasure. When we hear from IDW about the resolution to this situation, we'll post the news here. Stay tuned.
Special thanks to Andrew W. Laubacher, John Koenigsbeck, and everybody else who pointed out the error to us.

Okay, who turned on the Gender Blender?
Look, I said I wanted an X-Men crossover, not an Ex-Men crossover. The people behind this experiment in regenderism will be dealt with immediately. Michelle, Joyce, and Tina are not amused.
And now I have to go stop Bob from hitting on himself. Man, between this and the mirror behind the bar...
