Spotted at HQ
- A vending machine in the Ukrainian city of Melitopol that is supposed to sell coffee was jerry-rigged to dispense shots of vodka instead----at about $1 a pop. The BBC reports, citing the state-owned Interfax-Ukraine TV channel, that the machine also sold an array of fruit juice mixers.
While this may seem amusing to some, authorities don't find the tricked-out machine funny. Ukrainian tax collectors are reportedly looking for the person or people behind the "wonder machine" --as it has been called--on suspicion of illegally trading in alcohol.
We wish we had thought of it first.

Please, walk in any west side link store and they have a bottle and little plastic shot cups at the ready. Pack of smokes, chips and a quick shot on the counter and your off. It's been going on for years. Who needs a machine?
Pssst shush up...
Who said they did think of that first...I got my litte money makers going everywhere...teacher lounger.. sport locker rooms... taxicab garages.
Actually the ancient Romans has such a machune that would dispense a cup of vino for a few coins.
I wonderif if gave a deposit back if the cup was returned,
Good job comrades.......
In college we had an old pop machine in the basement filled with beer...black label, red white and blue, or pabst...at least it was cold...

Rumors that CPD Supt Garry McDrunk has tried to contact the Ukrainian Mafia are completely unfounded.

A email conversation between one of our thieving aldermen.
Me: Where did the money for the laptops come from and what company got the services contract?
Alderthief:City tax revenues paid for the laptops
Technical assistance provided by city staff from the IT Department. No outside service contract.
Me:Curious as to the 1400 price tag, did the city pay full price for 50 devices for part time employees?
Alderthief:You can direct your question to the Budget Chairman Carrie Austin.
Me:You are my alderman so I am asking you. But thanks for answering the question.
Alderthief:If I knew the answer I'd tell you. I don't, but know where to send you if it's such a burning question for you.
So basically, fuck you on many levels. I work in the computer industry, and clearly there is a kickback involved. Every company that I have worked for receives a massive discount when you purchase that many devices, there is no way this should have cost even half that. I never look for a damn handout or any free shit, but geezus, alderman is a part time gig, several of them are millionaires or have other jobs paying well over 6 figures. They even get parking paid for on top of medical and a pension. Silver lining we can submit a FOIA request and get the browser history on the devices.
Please post this. I also asked this same question to 5 other alderman, no one else responded.
Hell, the soda machine in our station has been filled with Bud and Miller for years!
Just kidding! That loud bang you just heard was McNumbnuts head exploading.
Doesn't Rhambo have a koolaid dispensing machine at city hall?
The machines at HQ were stripped of everything good. I'm surprised there still is soda being dispensed. No more candy or chips. Just granola, baked goods, and basically crap.
I used to work in a factory where the pop machine was owned by and stocked by the owners.
If you pushed the button that said RC Cola, you got a nice cold can of cheap beer for your 50 cents.
Can't get away with that now.
Anytime you need a pick me up, just raid some bosses desk!!
McNutty probably has more booze than Al Capone!
In the Beijing, China airport they have vending machines that sell beer.
Love dat vodka from popeyes!

I went to an Ivy League School, and our vendingt machine dispensed Heineken, Stella Artois, Michelob and Dos Exquis.
Did I mention The Most Interesting Man in the World was my Accademic Advisor.
