MasterChugs Theater: ‘The Bay’

Found footage, no matter your thoughts on it, appears to be here to stay.

Sigh.

Barry Levinson’s The Bay is another found-footage shocker and while it’s better than most films in that genre, it tries to be so much more than what it is. That’s the movie The Bay would like to be: a righteous freak-out.

It doesn’t quite get there. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: ‘The Bay’

It’s a workplace distraction at the very least

Those prudes in HR can't get on your case if it's Taco Tuesday.
With either meaning, those prudes in HR can’t get on your case if it’s Taco Tuesday.

New research indicates that eating out hurts work productivity, but there’s no word if it helps foster more giving workplace relationships. Still, we’re not sure how to initiate the act in the office without risking an appointment with HR …

Oh … never mind. They mean leaving the office to eat lunch.

Scientists at Humboldt University found that workers who go out and eat lunch with a friend switch off the necessary tools for “cognitive control and error monitoring,” meaning that they came back to the office relaxed and gave not one s**t about the work they left behind.

But, to reiterate: they did not study the effects of cunnilingus in the workplace. They did, however, recommend eating at your desk, so interpret that as you will.

Booze is serious business

If you couldn’t tell by now, we at SG take our booze very seriously. When we pay a pretty penny, we expect to have quality sustenance run through our veins. When we pay for swill, we expect to have swill. We don’t expect to pay for something we don’t intend to buy and you shouldn’t either.

That’s why it only makes sense that a man in New Jersey, officially the c0-president of the worst state in the nation club, would screw things up. The owner of 8 TGI Fridays in the state paid a fine costing half a million dollars due to said chain restaurants being accused of serving swill in place of top dollar liquor.

People, it’s just another reason to go local. Why take your business to the big chains when it’s so much easier to make the acquaintance of a local shopkeep and avoid being screwed over like that.

29-year-olds get the worst hangovers, or why not to hire young people

Are you 29? If so, we’ll try not to type too loudly for you, your head is probably killing you.

According to a study in the U.K., 29-year-olds get the worst hangovers out of anyone. Researcher believe that this is because the they still think they can party as they did in their younger days, but it turns out their bodies can’t handle it. They also found that the average hangover lasts about nine hours and 45 minutes. However, for 29-year-olds, hangovers can last 10 hours and 24 minutes. There wasn’t a mention of the length of hangovers for the 30+ crowd, so we’ll just assume that they have it fine. It’s just the 29-year-olds that have it bad.

This could be why one of The Guys, whom we won’t name, frequently calls out sick.
