So there we were...throwing back a few of the world's most delicious beers and a simple conversation started. The subject was prohibition. Basically the line that prompted this discussion was : "someone's grandfather was the poor bastard who had the idea to prohibit alcohol--how'd that turn out?"
Prohibition started out as a simple idea (by a man named Wayne Wheeler, but we'll get to him) with a simple cause/action/solution....the problem was it was a bad idea. A very bad idea--and someone is responsible for that bad idea.
Hey Wayne Wheeler: your fault. Nice legacy you left for your next of kin. What do you think his grandkids say when they're talking about their family to their friends?
"My grandpa invented prohibition in the U.S.!"
"Fuck your grandpa," responds a friend.
Basically someone is to blame for the world's biggest blunders and thats where this blog comes in.

How about:
"I invented prohibition" or
"I cut America's first mullet" or
"I built the Challenger"
Have fun...
