Flying Dog Teams Up with Dr. Dog
Flying Dog (Frederick, MD) has partnered with the band Dr. Dog for a mix pack of fun.
Dr. Dog just released a new album, B-Room, on September 30th. Flying Dog teamed up with the rising stars to offer a limited edition 7″ flex vinyl of “Distant Light” in their Shock & Awe variety packs.
Pretty freaking cool. The band jams out in these Flying Dog Session videos. Also, Dr. Dog answers the burning question – If you could spend 7 minutes with a dead president, who would it be?

Civets digest coffee berries, and defecate the soon to be coffee beans. This process adds flavor to the final product. Chicken fat is also involved in the process. By the way, yes. He is holding a turd.
The Beer Fridge Only a Canadian Can Open [VIDEO]
Molson took a beer fridge to Europe and left it on the sidewalk. It was locked, and there is only one key that will open it. A Canadian passport.
