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

Share ThisIt would appear that the incidence of United States Marines dying in motorcycle accidents has outpaced Marine deaths in Iraq. A problem so serious that Commandant of the US Marines, General James Conway will be meeting specifically with other members of the top brass to address it.

Just some stuff that made me chuckle today…
Seems Balloon Juice doesn’t care for Sam Adams Hefe:
Sam Adams Hefeweizen is so bad it should be a felony. If Obama does usher in the NEW WORLD ORDER, first on the chopping block are these jackasses for their crimes against the reinheitsgebot. Christ, this is ten pounds [...]
Aloe Vera, Looza Juice and Carpal Tunnel
4 Comments Published by Jason October 31st, 2008 in Drugs, Fitness, Survival. Share ThisSo, I’ve been drinking Aloe Vera Juice in an attempt to speed the healing of my back; I slipped my L5S1 disc.
As I mentioned before, this juice tastes like hell. A number of folks suggested mixing it with juice but for the first week I felt like that was somehow wimping out. The Aloe [...]
Coopers Vintage Ale 2008 — Let it sit
1 Comment Published by Jason October 30th, 2008 in Beer. Share ThisI’m a huge fan of barley-wines like Old Foghorn and Sierra’s BigFoot — so Cooper’s Vintage Ale 2008 called out to me from the shelf. The bold Porter-y flavor and heavy duty alcohol always make me feel I’m getting prime ROI from my drink. I had to give it a go.

Wii Music — How do I miss this stuff?
1 Comment Published by Jason October 29th, 2008 in Games. Share ThisReader John sent me a link to Wii Music in response to yesterdays Rock Band Stage Lighting Kit.
Holy Cow does this look like FUN! This appears to be the first game since Wii Bowling that I might actually want to play. I’ve bought so many games for the Wii and can safely say that only [...]
From Instructables… I’d want one that shoots down incoming nuclear warheads.

Perhaps you kid around when it comes time to wail. Maybe you feel rock and roll is a game. Not the guys over at Uncrate, they’ve found a way to take it to the next level — show lighting for their home Rock Band concerts. For only $100 you can feel even more authentic in [...]
So, as I prepared to take the walk to the grill and begin the evenings artisty upon a marinated flank steak, I went to ice box. I’d wanted to give Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale a try last night, but I was afraid it wouldn’t be cold enough after just 3 hours in the cooler. Tonight, [...]

10 Comments Published by Jason October 27th, 2008 in Survival. Share ThisYou never know when it’ll happen to you - at least I certainly didn’t. For 36 years I wandered around having a good old time; doing every lousy thing to my body I could think of - without ever really thinking. About 10 months ago I started to feel some pain in my leg and [...]
