Drink like a rock star

This is a good month for trying strange new drinks with questionable properties. The excellent Greek Deli on 19th Street carries Rockstar Energy Drink, which is exactly the type of beverage which must be purchased and consumed simply for the sake of blogging.

According to its its 16 oz. can, Rockstar is "enhanaced with the potent herb milk thistle" and is "scientifically formulated to speed the recovery time of those who lead active and exuasting lifestyles--from athletes to rock stars." On the official Web site (note the clever URL), you can purchase official Rockstar merchandise, including a stylish trucker hat (my birthday is in July, in case anybody is wondering).

The president of the company is a gentleman named Russell Goldencloud Weiner. The drink smells and tastes like carbonated cough syrup. One hour after consumption, I don't feel much like a rock star, but the rainbows are finally beginning to melt off the walls of my office, and now I feel an urge to go trash a hotel room.
