As part of our ongoing commitment to excellence in journalism, we’ve embedded two of our staff members in the “Four Loko” nation. If you see either Ryan “Sleepy” DeBardelaben or Brandon “Slappy” Sizemore passed out in a pool of their own filth on a downtown street corner or dumpster, please return them to our offices at 704 NW Georgia.

Thanks,

the editor.
