We saw the results of these collaborations when each brewery announced their new beverages on their social media pages. What’s gripping about these unique beverages are the very famous…

Did Enya’s Boadicea Get Sampled Again
Sometimes it takes a few times hearing a song on the radio to realize it’s a cover, and then a few more listens to place the original. At least remember enough of the original music to do a proper internet search. Such as this new Weeknd song, where I finally pinpointed the original back to…
Enter the Wu-Tang Name Generators
“Swingin’ through your town like your neighborhood Spider-Man.” What an exceptional line from Inspectah Deck’s Protect Ya Neck verse off the Wu-Tang Clan’s first studio album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Thirty-six Chambers is still a great album that I keep on rotation on my discontinued iPod Nano. The razor beats, the crazy skits, the…

We North Carolinians should be familiar with our State’s nicknames: The Tar Heel State and the Old North State. But what about the Great Trails State? “Naw, I’m not familiar with that one. What‘s that?” said James. What’s the Great Trails State?” asked Mary. Since you asked, Mary and James. The most common North Carolina…

Catchy Blog Intro
To make a long story short. Joking–you probably already hate me for writing that. I saw that 87.5432% of people who use that idiom love mayonnaise on their Chick-fil-A chicken biscuits. Need a minimum of five ketchup packets for their Bojangles cajun chicken filet biscuit combos or scrambled eggs. As well as believe that Bold…
