Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins
So 41 year ago today, a spaceship that got launched off the face of the earth, landed on the moon and pooped out two dudes. There was a third dude in a different part of that spaceship sort of chilling while hurtling around the moon at extreme speeds. In honor of that, we’re going to celebrate the shit out of those three dudes. They are, in order of moon-landingness: Neil Armstrong (repeat...

Today on Bop, Marry, Kill we will look at the three liquors that make up what is known as the Three Wise Men. It’s the kind of drink that thinking about it makes me drunk. It has THREE WHISKEYS in it. So we will start with Jim Beam. Then we will look at Jack Daniels. We will conclude this day with Johnnie Walker. So let’s get it on.
First, Jim Beam.
Why you should bop it:

Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll
Ladies and Gentlemen of Bop/Marry/Kill, it’s been a while since we’ve done a truly conceptual entry. But today that all changes again. Today we look at the three things motivating Rockstardom for the last 50 + years. First, we look at sex. Then we will examine drugs. Finally, we will look at Rock and Roll. Let’s just get into this shit bros.
First up, Sex.

Guys! George Steinbrenner died! As a lifelong Yankees fan, today is a hard day for me. But why not remember the Boss with a Yankees themed bop/marry/kill? So, I figure let’s look at some of the other leaders of the Franchise. Let’s look at some managers. Steinbrenner famously had some dicey relationships with some of his managers, but that also frequently produced some real great...

I figured that today I’d take a break from my Microsoft Office Suite tutorials and focus on my creative/analytic side today with my first Bop, Marry, Kill directed at one specific person. Today’s entry is directed at Mr. Lebron James. Some of you may have heard of him. The rest of you live under what I imagine is a very big rock, so let’s bring you up to speed. One of the best...

Today, I bring you the ladies of Shakespeare’s love tragedies. Or at least the ladies from the tragedies that have the most to do with romantic love. Regardless, Mr. Shakespeare had a wide array of different types of lady characters that are sure to get your juices going one way or another. First we look at the lady-half of the most famous couple in the history of couples, Juliet. Then we...

Hey, happy Fourth of July! Why don’t we all take a break from drinking beers and blowing fingers off and read about some of our nation’s founders huh? Today’s Bop, Marry, Kill is going to explore the people that (at least according to the film 1776) were the most importance voices in our nation’s independence. First, we look at the mastermind of the whole movement, John...

Man! I had totally forgot about Tennis what with all this World Cup action going on. But let me tell you folks, I fucking love tennis; and this Sunday is the Men’s Finals at Wimbledon. So, I figure let’s look at some of the big players involved in that little match. First, last year’s champion (and guy who got eliminated way faster than number 2 in the world should get...

Hey folks! Welcome back to Bop, Marry, Kill. Today, Mr. Meldrick Horation Gibson (I think that’s his name) was outed as even more of a racist than everyone already knew he was, so why not look at some people who have said some racially charged and incredibly stupid things in recent years. First, we look at Kramer himself, Michael Richards. Then, David Duke Cock-haver, John Mayer. Finally,...
