Since the fall of the Roman Empire, the lines between gay and straight have never been so skewed until now. With the support of major media, alternative lifestyles are considered to be hip and trendy. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.

Whether some is gay or straight doesn’t affect me either way, unless of course if I happen to be dating them.  Being a fairly perceptive girl, I have never seen myself as the type of gal who could fall for a gay guy.  But now with the rise of the metro sexual, who closely resembles the homosexual, it might be easier than I would have ever thought possible.

In the past year, two girls I know have dated guys that turned out to be gay. Flora, my bff since high school, had a guy tell her he was “into dudes too” while they cuddled in bed after doing the deed. Barf.  And Jodie, my friend’s friend caught her boyfriend of three months making out with a guy at a nightclub.  When she confronted him (while he was still making out with the guy), he told her to calm down and that he was just really drunk.

Were these girls being really unperceptive, or were these guys hiding their gay-ness very well?

If you live in the city, especially Los Angeles, you have really got to keep your gay-dar at full alert when looking for a boy.  But even supreme intuition can be fooled by guys that are gay but  don’t know it or want to ignore it.  Ladies, here are some clues that will help tip you off to feminine fellas. 

It’s not a secret that we love beer.  So to honor our long time frothy friend, we compiled a list of interesting facts about it.  Before reading this, crack open a cold one and take a slug; you are about to enter Beer History 101.    

•    Tegestology is the act of collecting beer mats or coasters. A beerologist is a person who reaps the awesome benefits of consuming beer.

•    Beer is the second most popular beverage in the world, coming in behind tea.

•    Pabst Beer changed its name to Pabst Blue Ribbon because it was the first beer to win a blue ribbon at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.

 

I feel really foolish saying this, but apparently, we here at Boosh missed something. Over the summer, Absolut approached the most humble man in the world, Kanye West, and had him do a viral advertising campaign for their vodka. It was hilarious. The video is here.

What we failed to catch, was that Mr. Zack Galifinakis did one as well. And his is a billion times funnier. Seriously. Times a billion. Take that Kanye. So, forgive us for the information we failed to deliver unto you and take our sincerest of apologies for not giving our readers a look into this incredible video sooner.

When it comes to college parties, a 23.3 inch tall silver cylinder on ice in the kitchen is all but a staple. The Keg is a party centerpiece. But where did it come from? One standard US keg contains 15 ½ gallons of the good stuff, which is supposed to equal about 165 twelve ounce servings. For those keeping track at home, that's equal to six and a half cases and 160 lbs of liquid courage. But while you know the keg well, it stands misunderstood by most who pray to it every Friday night. Do you know how it works?

ENGINEERING: Genius!

It's simple really. The push-lock at the top serves as the only opening, which keeps the keg pressurized. Once a keg loses pressure (i.e. tapped, broken) it only has about 18 hours of life left in it. A hand tap / party pump presses that lock down and opens up the circulation.

The opening chamber attaches to a 20" metal tube that draws the beer from the bottom of the keg directly into your glass. That way it keeps pumping til the very end. Because it draws from the bottom, you always want to make sure you ice the sides, not just toss a bag on the top. But there is more to the keg than just simple engineering.
