Urban Homesteading for Brooklyn Reporters

When I heard yesterday that Mark Shurtleff and his team of tee-totaling hand-wringers have effectively castrated Four Loko I was immediately worried about a certain member of our hideous world.

Stick it to the man.

Four Loko is the kind of thing that I would have never touched if I'd have just seen it on a shelf in the liquor store. It's sounds disgusting and awful. And I've already had some bad experiences with Red Bull and vodka.

Yet, with all the coverage, I kind of want to try one. Thank you news media for constantly teaching me new ways to get drunk and/or high and passing it off as a warning for parents.

lol @ Jack.

I agree Mark, no way in hell would I drink Four Loko unless Logan was around, but as its legend grows so does my curiosity.

Dude I have been bootlegging since Sparks+ got the kibosh. And it's funny that you should mention drinking Four Loko with me because guess what you are getting for Christmas! You are going to be decking Ian's halls after one of these and a XXL Chalupa.

Be for reals: how do they justify banning this and not Starbucks Cream Liqueur? And does anyone ever callout Utah for it's very un-Republican nanny state treatment of alcohol? I am not sure Four Loko ever even crossed the Beehive border. In contrast, we have them at our 7-11s.

I do love four loko. Thanks for the instructional video. I stocked up on the stuff and put a couple cases in my wine cellar. When Nell and Mason celebrate their 30th anniversary I will toast them with a can of 2010 Four Loko.

To get real for a moment, banning four loko is all well and good if big brother also bans the other food products that kill people, like XXL Chalupas, fast food in general, etc etc etc. I am all for banning that crap, so please, bring it one, but in till you do, you can have my four loko when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Commenting from an iPhone is a joke when it somehow posts your comment to another blog story. (It was the phone. I swear.)

I don't do Christmas and all, but... Well... Four loko Mark?

I wonder if Four Loco would work better on Mark since he's Mexican?

It's some serious The Road level shit out there right now. Convenience stores have been ransacked by crazed - loko, if you will - mobs. I saw one father hand his son an Orange Loko, telling him "You have to keep carrying the fire."

On the bright side, I can keep buying all the cigarettes I want!

"The clocks stopped at one seventeen one morning. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. Within a year there were fires on the ridges and deranged chanting. By day the dead impaled on spikes along the road. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calender for five years. Each day is more gray than the one before. Each night is darker - beyond darkness. The world gets colder week by week as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived. All the crops are long gone. Someday all the trees in the world will have fallen. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts and road gangs looking for Loko. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about Loko. Always Loko. Loko and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice - difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke."

Logan is right, Four Loko has never been sold here.

But, Utah doesn't require helmets on motorcycles.

"Like thousands of other gun owners who will most likely never set foot in Utah, Mr. Roe wants a permit there for one reason: It allows him to carry his semiautomatic .45-caliber pistol in 32 other states that recognize or have formal reciprocity with Utah’s gun regulations...

In 2004, Utah received about 8,000 applications for the permits. Last year, 73,925 applications were submitted — with nearly 60 percent coming from nonresidents...

By passing the class and the background check, and paying a $65.25 fee, the applicant receives what many consider to be the most prized gun permit in the country. Permits are good for five years and cost $10 to renew."

Mark, if I understand you correctly, you want a [REDACTED] for non-denominational purposes?

A "winter" Four Loko.
