Rattle Snake Vodka

This will put some hair on your chest. Forget the worm, this bottle of vodka has a 10 inch rattler stewing. Earlier this week Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents seized 411 bottles of Rattle Snake infused vodka at Bayou Bob’s Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch in Texas. Apparently, Bob didn’t [...]

Wow. I loved this ‘commercial.’ I used to sit in my office, back during the first DotCom boom, play this and laugh my ass off. I’m pretty sure the first time this was shared with me it was in the nearly lost .AU format. Almost as rare as leaded gas?

It has been so long since I’ve visited my friends the RadiSkull and his pal Devil Doll. This stuff was so funny, I remember watching it over and over and over.
RadiSkulls no non-sense attitude. Devil Doll’s yearning to be loved. Joe Sparks delivered it all. Who can forget Devil Doll’s classic lyrics:
listen up y’all, I’m [...]

Thank god this is an optional choice. To each their own, of course, but nothing depresses me more than people who choose this route because they think they can’t choose anything else. [via Waxy]


Seems Geno’s Steaks, a 44 year old source of Philly’s fame cheesesteak, is under-fire for some allegedly discriminatory signage.
Joe Vento posted the signs at his shop in October 2005. They read “This is AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING ‘PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH.’”
Critics allege the policy discourages customers of certain backgrounds from eating there. They say the signs [...]

Oh the times I have wanted to hit the eject button! Perhaps to launch a rocket and destroy the slow jerk in the Caddy? Or to vaporize the small woman in the RAV-4? Seems such cool gadgetry is available outside of Q’s labs — you just need the disposable cash of a drug runner.

Anyone know the story behind this one?

How Not to Handle the Police

I’m still chuckling to myself…
“He offered to buy us beers if we would just let him go home,” Officer Joel Reierson wrote in the report.
I wish cops would be that cool. “Dude, I’m drunk. I got a pocket full of dope and pills. How about you back off, have a beer and I run home [...]

WaPo: Beer Madness Update 1

While Beer Madness rolls on… Abita Turbo Dog is still in it! Last week they defeated Ellie’s Brown Ale. This week they have to face down Sam Adams Honey Porter (which I’d link to but their flash-ified website sucks.)
Please go vote for Abita Turbo Dog. I like it a lot. Currently it is looking behind [...]

It began with an interview about whistle-tips. He became one of the very first INTERNET SUPER-STARS. Before Mike Arrington, before Robert Scoble — there was: BUBB RUBB!
He installed a noise-maker on his car, blew through a stop sign and the rest… Internet History.

Thanks Andre for reminding me about all these Great Men.

Guinness Ice Cream?

I have no idea if this is any good, but I am a huge fan of my Cuisinart 2 Quart Ice Cream Machine — when Carolyn gave this to me as an anniversary present I was a bit confused. I thought maybe it was something we’d never use — WRONG! It is brilliant.
Fresh, home-made ice [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0

» We just cracked a 750 of “Forêt,” an organic saison from Brasserie Dupont. The reviews on Beer Advocate are sort of mixed, but as far as I’m concerned it’s a knockout: bright, light, full of the best tastes of summer. One of the best saisons I’ve ever had. # 1
