I’m sure you’ve heard of it - I can’t stop looking. No, I’m not talking about Twitter, I mean the strange creation called “LOLcats“: photographs of cats with cute phrases written in text message or leet speak on them.

Regular readers might know I’m up on technology in some regards but hopelessly behind in others. Well, one area where I’ve been in the dark for the past few years is HD television (flat panels, plasma - whatever it’s called this week).

I’ve been meaning to write this post for quite some time. Over the past year of collecting bottle caps (check out my site, Bottle Cap-O-Rama), I’ve voluntarily drank many unique bottled beverages. I’ve written short reviews on the other site, but haven’t posted many on this blog. So here goes, a sampling of some of the more unusual drinks I’ve tasted, so you don’t have to.
