We are no fans of malt liquor. Not to say we haven’t drank our share.
But when we were young and dumb and poor (aka college), it was the low-budget alternative to something good. Now that we’re no longer … er … young, we’ve refined our cocktail hour habits.
So we were mildly surprised to find the makers of Colt .45 trying to make what is essentially cheap swill fashionable.

We’re not going to get into a PC vs. Mac debate with anyone. And it’s not just because of the “msn” part of the name of this site.
