Last night I was at Denny's in Emeryville, and security guards wearing big uniforms, leather gloves, batons, and sidearms (45's maybe) seated us!! They weren't just standing around like normal security guards, they were the hosts.

A Killer Meal (Literally)
1999-10-25 14:57:03
It is well known. You cannot drink your way through life (though, believe me, we here in SMRL's Beverage Research Center have tried many times). You must eat sooner or later. And what you eat will play a great factor in your ability to KEEP MOVING.
Now is not the time to go shuffling off to just anywhere. You now require nourishment. So take a seat here in front of the grill, and prepare to savor our delightful gastronomic delight!
The Oakie-Doakie Dog
Anyone who has spent time in Los Angeles (longer than a week), or is a die-hard Germs fan, will no doubt be familiar with the cheap and thoroughly sickening fast food stand, known as Oakie-Dogs. Used to be that for just a few bucks, you could fill up on cheap food of questionable origin, and be ready to jump back into the chaos in no time. Sadly, not only is one of the two original stands gone the way of the buffalo, but I am told that the remaining one has upped their prices and serves food of much blander/less-filling quality.
What a shame. But here's the good news: Our crack team of Eastern European Eliminators was recently dispatched, and has recovered a copy of the original recipe for the award winning Oakie-Dog. Unfortunately, we did not know that this sacred recipe is under guard by a clan of female Mexican Ninjas living in the hills of Oakland, CA. So, in order to avoid another bloody battle, a treaty has been drawn up, and the recipe has been slightly altered.
But to insure that this is a dish we would not only be proud to serve & eat with you, but will also not kill you, the bartenders at the Deathwave Bar & Grill were force-fed this dish we present to you. And now. . .
The Oakie-Dokie Dog
Ingredients:
Preparation:
[NOTE: Have Pepto or your favorite Spocktail standing by.... ]
Vegetarian version- There is none whatsoever. You ain't eating this for your health, boyo.

High Availability Guinness Stress Test
All too often we forget the incredible depth of technology behind the weekly ritual of TNiPN@*.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
