Seamless ice-spheres for superior whiskey-rocks

May 8, 2008 8:03am

I was in tokyo last year, and quickly became a fan of suntory on the rocks. And, in fact, it was almost always on the rock (1), really, as the bartender would carve out an approximate hemisphere of ice (that's delivered, no less), and pour the whiskey over it. It is tasty, and the attention and care required makes it all the more special. That the large ice doesn't dilute your drink, but makes it cool is very important. After that, I feel like bartenders are killing kittens when they take a scoop of cubes put them in the glass, and drown it in liquor. No wonder you haters out there think on the rocks is inferior - you haven't had the Japanese style! As the ice truck I saw in Tokyo read: "POOR ICE SPOIL YOUR WHISKEY"

Model plane enthusiast claims magic powder helped him regrow finger

May 2, 2008 11:47am

In a recent issue of Scientific American, there was a great article on limb regeneration:

In fact, the tip of your finger actually follows similar principles of regrowth that a salamander's entire arm or leg does. So the man's claim is not entirely far fetched, however, no magic powder needed, except, perhaps to keep it clear of infection.

Just because a 5 year old says something doesn't mean he's "figured it out."

Wesabe's new recommendation service finds better competitors for the businesses you patronize

Sorry to get all luddite on you, but you needed a computer to tell you there's a cheaper option over andronico's?? As for it's happiness predictor, a couple of visits would have told you if it makes you happy or not.
You also might find yourself much happier if you don't shop at target, lowes, home depot, wal mart, and ikea. come to think of it, you still have a soul after going to all those places? :)

Westminster council promises to sue souvenir sellers who reproduce street-signs

the part I don't get is...aren't these signs public domain? aren't they produced and designed w/ taxpayer money?

I hope it is more effective than chick tracts in turning our youth on to god!

Smashmouth Isolated Vocal Track

February 18, 2008 12:30pm

I can't find this song in any of their discogs. Is it released yet?
I usually refer to the genre that SmashMouth occupies as "snot rock" due to the singers usually having a nasal vocal style and its mildly driving-rock appeal to "vibes of teenage freedom."

Victrola Favorites book and CD

ok, this does look like a great package, but, I have to say, I'd much rather have it on quality vinyl than cds....yeah, I know their name is "...to Digital" but it still seems a bit ironic, no?

Wiener poopie ransom note for Jesus

"It would be nice if there was some way to make media outlets face some consequences for all the mindless, trumped -up "human interest" crap all of the major news sources have been churning out in increasing quantities."

Well, they do it for ratings, and the 87,000+ views this YouTube video validates their thought that this would strike a nerve. As I watched it, I thought "wow, TV news will show anything" and then I thought "wow, was the advent of really stupid local TV news just the predecessor to YouTube?"

hmmm....lego AND star wars? I think it's cool, but what happens when you reflect on the sentimentality of your nostalgia coupled with the indulgent focus required to build such a thing? (If your date's a smart one, you may just save it with such a conversation!)
