    That dragon is peeing on her. And Paris sort of likes it, before the disfiguring car crash.

    That big lizard is the ideal mascot for the advertised drink, 'cause with such low alcohol the night will just drag on.

    She goes to Chinatown and gets a dragon and all I've ever gotten was Kung Pao chicken and a STD? I have to stop drinking Joose.

    Not to be an asshole but there are instructions to peel off the address. However, I do agree with Hamilton that it was poorly placed. #esquire

    @A Message To Rudy: The label was right beside the "peel" message, and the label was stuck with easily peelable glue. Not sure what more they could have done, other that put in in a plastic/paper wrapper with the label on that, thus creating more easte #esquire

    @UGA: The label on my copy of the mag was huge, covered the "instructions" and didn't give any indication that it was to be removed to work properly. I didn't assume the image on the cover was the one that you were supposed to use, I thought it was the one on the inside. If they're both the same, great, no big issue.

    And my issue does NOT come in a plastic bag. #esquire
