This funny Dutch commercial reminds us that a huge walk-in closet is almost every woman’s dream. But, what would cause the men to go that nuts???

With the holidays over looks like it’s all back to the grind. I’d like to thank my family for a great time and point out just how booze-infused my gifts and holiday season were.

Let’s start with the beer gifts.

I got so many beer related gifts for Christmas! It was great! I kept opening more and more beer and bar stuff. Here’s just a few things (I’m sure I’ll miss one or two of them).

• First off I got a home brewing kit from Mrs.Thirstymates. it’s just a beginners kit but I’m really looking forward to brewing some of my own stuff.
• A pilsner Brew kit from The Brew House
• Designing Great Beers by Ray Daniels
• How to Brew by John J. Palmer
• New Brewing Lager Beer by Gregory J. Noonan
• Beers Of The Word by David Kenning

On top of all this I got so many nice things for my bar at home. Including bottles of Crown Royal, Tanqueray, and Sheridan’s Liquor (I can’t seem to find a website for them).

I also received bar paraphernalia like six beautiful lead crystal glasses from my brother and his girlfriend along with some wine stoppers that match our decor beautifully. A silver platter and Scotch bottle hanger from my mother and father and an LCBO Canadian whiskey glass from Santa in my stocking.

All in all a good booze related haul for Christmas!

But my birthday is just around the corner (April’s not that far away is it?) Let’s see if the fam can top this Christmas booty.

I’ve seen this before but It’s just been pointed out to me again.

dapperstache.com has thrown together a “Periodic Table of Awesoments” basically listing of all the elements that make up the world of awesomeness.

Beer is on there at #6 and Liquor at #51. So are Boobs at #13 and Snipers and Assassins at #’s 10 and 18. I particularly like #19’s elemental symbol of BA for Mr.T. Bacon of course get’s the top spot where Hydrogen would normally sit at #1.

Here’s a little of what they have to say about it:

The Periodic table of Awesoments can be a very useful tool. It’s designed to show the relationships between awesoments, and often one can even predict how awesoments interact simply by their positions on the table.
