“It was crazy,” said attendee Kathleen Christians, 39. “People were shoving people over. People were getting sick, screaming, shouting, messing with the artwork.”

A group of four young men climbed onto “Standing Woman,” a tall, bronze sculpture of a goddess-like woman with exaggerated features by early 20th-century American artist Gaston Lachaise.

“They were standing on it, grabbing the boobs, and somebody was just taking pictures with a cell phone,” said Laura Collins, 35.

You’ve undoubtedly heard about the MFA’s First Fridays, where they serve cocktails and play jazz while Boston’s single bourgeoisie hobs and nobs. Well, one “Martini Madness” event at a Milwaukee museum got a little too mad. (Hat tip: JL)

Maybe from now on the MFA will stick with their Elegant Afternoon Tea instead. (If they have to put “elegant” in the title, is it?)

Straight from the AP wires, news of a super-distilled scotch in the making:

The Bruichladdich distillery on the Isle of Islay, off Scotland’s west coast, is producing the quadruple-distilled 184-proof — or 92 percent alcohol — spirit “purely for fun,” managing director Mark Reynier said.

Whisky usually is distilled twice and has an alcohol content of between 40 and 63.5 per cent.

Bruichladdich is using a recipe for a spirit known in the Gaelic language as usquebaugh-baul, “perilous water of life.”

Call me a wuss, but 92 percent alcohol doesn’t actually sound like fun drinking to me. I happen to get along well with my esophagus. Oh well, it’s probably more gimmick than anything.

The article goes on to note that it will be 10 years before the scotch is aged, adding that

In the meantime, customers will be able to watch the whisky’s progress on the distillery’s webcams.

Sounds like riveting viewing.
