Channel 13 Official Chalice

As promised from a previous post, this is Halloweens retaliation. For what reason Halloween is retaliating? The Christmas Holidays nudging in on what is considered our territory. It's only fitting if Christmas can invade Halloween, than Halloween can invade Christmas. Think of it like the Nightmare Before Christmas, but with trinkets. Metal trinkets. Onward to the North Pole to conquer Santas Workshop and make some real toys for the tormented kiddies.

As you can probably tell by the many beer posts we have had in Channel 13's existence, one object has become synonymous with our coverage the beverage Metalheads drink. B6E6E6R \m/ . It's plastic may be of crap construction, but it's menacing grin is all evil. It's tall stature is recognizable by the many who see it, and it has played supporting but very crucial role in halls of Channel 13.

Skull Bottle Opener

Say what you will about Target and the people who shop there, but one cannot deny their Halloween section is amongst the best "brick and mortar" stores have to offer.

I for one have made many treks to Target to find plenty of Halloween items that are Metal worthy, as well as the occasional "real life" necessities.

Today we look at an item that is practically a mandatory possession to have in a Metalheads person at all time. The bottle opener \m/

Shock Top End of the World Midnight Wheat Ale

Anheuser-Busch. Worst beer company in the world. Before being taken over by InBev (and even after), the mere thought of their beverages strikes a chord of disgust amongst those who know a REAL beer. Their long and extensive (like a turd) portfolio of beers is a who's who of why crappy beers exist.

While Anheuser-Busch kept churning out shit product after shit shit product, there was hope that this company can produce a decent beer, and the Nectar Gods finally granted mercy on a company whose track record can only be rivaled by the likes of a Jaguar Automobile. The beer in question is Shock Top, and the reason it is the only successful brand in their portfolio is for 1 simple reason; it is a Belgian-style beer. I had the opportunity to try Shock Top and to say it "shocked" (every pun intended) me would be an understatement.

As with any beer brand, there are seasonal flavors that come into the picture. Usually, they'll add extra ingredients and/or flavors or take the ingredients that makes their beer and make it in a different way.

Today's post is about their most Metal offering. End of the World Midnight Wheat Ale

Skeleton Hand Oven Mitt

Cooking. Until recently, was seen as the way "civilized people" eat. We Metalheads prefer to eat our meals when it's alive ( \m/ ), and while this might be against the law (covering the gamut from animal torture to murder), we needed to evolve from the way we eat.

These days, we have evolved (though once in a while we prefer to do it zombie-style) to the point where we have our own approach to a meal.

With any evolution, comes the eventual tools to make it happen, and even on a subject like cooking tools are ever more important.

Long time no hear...

Hey everybody,

I know the updates have not been up as promised, but the usual (work, school, life, etc) has once again reared its ugly head and taken its toll on my free time, so the usual apology is not too far away.

This post is to give you a heads up that I'll be in the Barge to Hell ( www.bargetohell.com ) this upcoming Monday, December 3 and I'll be coming back December 7. So some more of the absence I am known for (this time justified, it's a Metal fest... on a boat... yeah... huh-huh, huh-huh).

Also, you'll notice The Great Cheyenne's upcoming dates section in the left side of Channel 13. As my way of saying thanks, I will have her future events posted here to aid a fellow Metal Legion in the global conquest of the weak and timid and bring forth the fury of hellacious torment.

As for future posts for Channel 13, I have some interesting concepts coming about that will make the wait worth it as we will have a holiday retaliation that has been long overdue, some arts and crafts that will fit the armor we are known for wearing perfectly, as well as showcasing the stupidity that Metal Legions are known for having once in a while.

That's it for now, but as always, many \m/ HEAVY \m/ thanks for the patience. Look on the bright side, at least you can still view past posts and even the syndication's that can keep you entertained for some more time to come.

Laters \m/
