A sparkling New Year's Eve
![Alex Day is standing behind the custom bar at the headquarters of Proprietors, the drinks consulting company he and his partner David Kaplan recently set up in downtown Los Angeles — an office cum cocktail lab that they've dubbed Chapter & Verse. "Champagne is always a good idea," Day says as he carefully pours sparkling wine along the spiraled handle of a bar spoon that leads into a flute partly filled with Armagnac, Royal Combier and a couple of dashes each of Angostura and Peychaud's bitters. "Energy, excitement, playfulness, celebration, these are things that Champagne taps into."](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-12/67028745-28123514.jpg "Alex Day is standing behind the custom bar at the headquarters of Proprietors, the drinks consulting company he and his partner David Kaplan recently set up in downtown Los Angeles — an office cum cocktail lab that they've dubbed Chapter & Verse.

News of the Weird: Phallic Aim
![An annual spring fertility festival inVietnam'sPhu Tho province is capped by a symbolic X-rated ceremony rendered G-rated by wooden stand-ins. At midnight on the 12th day of the lunar new year, a man holding a wooden phallus-like object stands in total darkness alongside a woman holding a wooden plank with a hole in it, and the act is attempted. As the tradition goes, if the man is successful at penetration, then there will be good crops. Following the ceremony, villagers are ordered to "go and be free," which, according to a February report by Thanh Nien News Service, means uninhibited friskiness during the lights-out period.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-03/68926520-20125653.jpg "An annual spring fertility festival inVietnam'sPhu Tho province is capped by a symbolic X-rated ceremony rendered G-rated by wooden stand-ins.
