I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Law & Order and many many other books and television shows. Firebugs always have to watch!

the worst beer in the world

It's Old English 800. One review:

Bad aftertaste, rancid mouth. Not fit for students, bums or the desperate for a drink. Nothing but horrible taste and booze. I am less of a person for having consumed this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Extensive research, Jesse? You almost make it sound like you're a crime fiction geek...

Aw, the beer of my misspent youth!

I fully expect Jesse to actually solve a crime one day.

I like today's xkcd, even though it's not really funny:
