As a nerd bar, I guess they feel obliged to name their drinks after video game references, internet memes and MLP characters.

I don't know, I can see this place being either really fun or really awful. Probably depends on who you're drinking with.

Why is there a Pulp Fiction reference hiding on that drink menu? It seems out of place.

You're wrong, but at least most people on Star Trek are adult humanoids played by real people and not cartoon horse children.

You know how some jurisdictions say you can't use your cell phone when driving unless you use a handsfree device? Well what about all the other kinds of distracted driving, like putting on makeup or eating? It is only a matter of time before those are outlawed too. So someone needs to get to work on hamburger hands free devices for hungry drivers.

That seems plausible.

PittTheElder

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Well for some reason all the jurisdictions that ban cell-phone use while driving also tend to allow things like eating and cigarette smoking for some drat reason.
