Cocktail list at Applebee’s




Cocktail list at Applebee’s

Originally uploaded by tellumo.

This is from an Applebee’s my family went to when we were in South Dakota visiting relatives over Christmas. Apparently Applebee’s has a very lenient definition of “cocktail,” as a “Brewtus” seems to consist of nothing more than a draft beer, without so much as a garnish to distinguish it.

Do you speak katakana?

(”Gifuto Shoppu” is “gift shop” written in Roman characters but subject to Japanese phonetic restraints.)

Hello! I fell off the planet for a bit there with finals and break and all, but I’m back in the saddle now. As a New Year’s present, I give you this list of phrases from the American common law that sound like band names, together with their genres of music and the titles of their first albums.

Name Genre First album
Cy Pres Norse death metal Testator
The Erie Problem Emo Substance/Procedure (double album)
Frolic and Detour Precious indie-pop
(thanks, Joe)
Deviation
Holographic Will Emo Handmade
Mis(s)prison Gangsta rap Tha Secret
Real Covenant Christian rock Running with the Land
The Remaindermen Jangle-pop Vested

Hooray!
