Recession-Proof Drinking: Taste Testing Three Off-Brand Beers

Survivor: Nicaragua. The Coach as Champion: Week 2

​I hate you, Jimmy Johnson. Not for winning two Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys and then up and leaving in a huff, but for luring me into watching reality TV. I really despise reality TV.
