I’ve just discovered that Wednesday is Swine n’ Wine night at the local BBQ joint.
Sounds like a Winepocalypse destination vacation if ever I heard of one.
Completely ridiculous and yet awesome inventions
I wish I could take a picture of this thing to show you guys, but my company logo is all over it and that would be a bad idea, so you’ll just have to imagine.
They make slap koozies.
It’s like a slap bracelet for your beverages. In all of the absurd promotional materials I’ve seen, this might take the cake. When not being used, it lays flat, slightly smaller than your average business envelope. Then you pick it up, smack it against your soda, and it wraps itself around the can into a koozie.
Perhaps we’re easily amused around these parts, but this thing is GREAT.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have I ever told you how spectacular my Slacker Radio station is?
I based it on LCD Soundsystem and then hearted a bunch of the similar artists it suggested and let it run. It’s awesome.

Check out this super adorable look oneoftherarestroses put together for me! I do have similar bits to most of this, actually. This may have to be the outfit for the birthday party I’m attending on a boat tomorrow. Thanks, lady! :)
My favorite story to tell of all time
for cadyheron
So my college advisor was Wiccan, and also a little kooky. People on campus were terrified of her because they didn’t understand who she was or what “Wicca” meant, and there were so many hilarious stories going around campus about her. She did nothing to dispel them. She wore all black every Halloween just to freak people out. She never addressed the rumor of her being psychic just to let people wonder.
One year, we were on our way from New Hampshire to a college media conference in NYC. (She was also the newspaper advisor.) We took two cars, as my roommate and I were going to continue on from NYC to spring break in Myrtle Beach. We were in one car, following my advisor and a student in the other.
Halfway through Massachusetts, my roommate and I got really hungry. We were dying to stop somewhere to eat. We were having an entire discussion about how we needed to get one of those new-fangled cell phones (keep in mind, 1998 here) to call my advisor and tell her to pull over somewhere.
Nearing Northampton, we saw one of those highway signs for “food at the next exit,” that included Burger King. Suddenly, we really, really wanted Burger King.
My advisor pulled off at the next exit and drove into Burger King. This was AMAZING. We were giddy with joy and thought it was the greatest coincidence ever.
Then she got out of the car, looked me in the face, and said “Why do you need a cell phone when you have a psychic advisor?”
I am fairly certain all the blood drained from my face. She grinned and went into the restaurant and I was still trying to pick my chin up off the ground.
She’d do other things in future years that cemented my belief that she was legit. She swore that she didn’t just sit around listening to people’s thoughts, and that she generally blocked them out unless they were particularly strong thoughts or she was really tired, and I believed her. She was very conscientious of all of her actions.
Still scared the piss out of me at the time, though.
It is now my mission in life to be able to make a butterfly out of a carrot.
I loved Mr. Yuk stickers. I was the weird kid who used to open the under sink cabinets and take out all the poison just to giggle at the Mr. Yuk stickers.

Risk IRL of the Day: Where Snoop Dogg failed, you, and 70,000 of your dollars, will succeed: Airbnb has launched a partnership with event production company Xnet that will allow tyrants in training to rent entire villages and countries.
What the hell? Well:
A major component of renting a village or country is booking a large portion of the municipality’s available accommodations, but that is just the beginning. The possibilities for customizing the experience are almost endless — rename city streets and town squares, print your own temporary currencies, carve logos or names into the snow on the mountainside — and that is just the tip of the iceberg. The mayors and marching bands can welcome you with a custom medieval festival and present you the key to the city, or perhaps a wine tasting event at a Prince’s estate followed by a fireworks show is more your style.
According to the full listing for the country of Liechtenstein, amenities include cable TV, air conditioning, and a pool. What, no standing army? So much for starting a temporary war.
