Last week, the greatest item to ever be listed on eBay was sold, and we all missed out big time. A replica of Game of Thrones‘ much-coveted Iron Throne sold for just over $1,000 to a lucky bidder. But this was not just any Iron Throne. This Iron Throne was unlike any other replica out there. Why? Because this Iron Throne is not adorned with swords. Instead, it is adorned with dildos. Check out the listing on eBay here. Measuring 6 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 3.5 inches deep, this epic Dildo Iron ThroneRead More

The Hi-Dive in Denver, Colorado is quiet as the opening band packs up their own equipment and exits the stage. A quiet electricity hangs in the air; the sounds of clanking classes and friendly conversation replacing the music that was just being played. In the small, standing-room-only venue, you won’t find any top-40 artists or teenaged fanboys and girls waiting around to meet their idols.The Hi-Dive is a bar, and half of the patrons are just there to drink a few beers and check out whatever artists happen to be performingRead More

It is a sad time for us all. Winter has come, tears have been shed, and a week ago, Season 5 of Game of Thrones came to a (tragic; for many reasons) end. If you’re an obsessive Thrones watcher like I am, you might be staring into the bleak landscape of another 9 months without television’s best show. If you’re a sports fan like I am, this is only made more intolerable by the fact that most major sports are in the offseason. But worry not, friends. There is hope forRead More

With Memorial Day upon us, it is time to reveal the official Writtalin recipe utilizing Captain Morgan White Rum. So today, we are happy to bring you Captain’s Caribbean KickRead More

You love Game of Thrones. I love Game of Thrones. We all love Game of Thrones. The show is arguably the best show ever created, in the eyes of critics and fans alike, and the popularity of the HBO fantasy drama only continues to grow, even as Season 5 has been kind of S…L…O…W. One undeniable thing about Game of Thrones, however, is that part of the reason we love it is due to how incredibly f*cked up so many of the characters are. While some of the Westerosi playersRead More

If you’re a fan of bourbon, we have some big news to bring you today. I.W. Harper, an iconic American Whiskey, has returned home to the U.S. after nearly two decades abroad. I.W. Harper bourbon was first produced in the U.S. in the late 1800s, but for the last 20+ years, the whiskey has only been available overseas. No more. This whiskey is back stateside, and I.W. Harper is here to stay. The bourbon began hitting shelves nationwide a few weeks ago, and should be coming to a liquor storeRead More

Kentucky Derby weekend is here, and we all know what that means – ladies in big hats, gentlemen in suits, plenty of gambling, and of course, gallons upon gallons of the famous derby drink: the timeless, iconic mint julep! To help you prepare for race day celebrations, Bulleit Frontier Whiskey has been working with some of the top mixologists in the nation to develop recipes inspired by different regions of the country. No matter where you live, why not give all three a try!? The Race for the Best MintRead More

From “Sportsmageddon,” to “Sportstacular Saturday,” the upcoming weekend is being touted as one of the best lineups in the history of sports. From the Mayweather-Pacquiao “Fight of the Century,” to the Derby’s “Greatest 2 Minutes in Sports,” to NHL & NBA playoff action, there’s no lack of on-court and in-arena excitement. But wait – there’s more.  Chelsea is set to square off against Manchester City or Tottenham for their fourth straight title, the Yankees and the Bo Sox will do battle and the NFL draft will turn college stars into guaranteedRead More

While Taking Back Sunday finishes up their VIP acoustic set and meet-and-greet at the Summit Music Hall in Denver, Colorado, Greg Barnett, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, hangs around by the merchandise table. The twentysomethings who have come to relive their high school years and the eyeliner-clad tweens who have come to meet their idols gather around John Nolan and Adam Lazzara. Meanwhile, Greg and the rest of the Menzingers, a four-piece punk band from Pennsylvania, chat and laugh, fairly anonymous figures to the fawning group that has gathered. But whatRead More

The Final Four gave us a whole lot to remember. No more is Kentucky’s dream of an undefeated season – and arguably the greatest season in NCAA history. Thanks to the Wisconsin Badgers, a scrappy group of guys who did not fear the blue monster, the National Championship game will be a matchup much different than most people expected. While Wisconsin grabbed all the headlines in the Final Four by taking down a Kentucky team that a lot of fans and analysts alike thought to be invincible, the Duke BlueRead More

…And then there were four. From the 16 teams that were still hanging around on Thursday, the final 4 contenders have emerged in Kentucky, Duke, Wisconsin, and Michigan State. In this group we have three iconic programs, and a Wisconsin team that has been excellent for years, even without the prestige of the other three schools. The Final Four promises to be full of big names, star players, star coaches, and plenty of intrigue. So, as we await the Final Four matchups next weekend, let’s look at where our 4Read More
