All that Philthy would describe as "the goods"- everything silly/thought-provoking/awesome he finds worth mentioning whilst dicking around on the interweb. Support my drinking habit by purchasing a couple beer koozies at 40cozy.com. 20% of all proceeds go to our company beer fund.

This is why I have a hard time understanding the gold standard or any way we can value shiny things from the ground.

It just seems idiotic to me, like the whole world is saying “ooh shiny!”
