Egg Nog Tea

February 14th, 2008 by monk

I came across this in my world travel for the best tea.  This has got to be one of the weirdest flavors I have ever seen. Who drinks this?

Here is the website to the company who sells it.

Here is a cool cubicle design. I would love to have one of these for my cube. Click on the link to see a video.

Wii Chicken Game

November 28th, 2007 by monk

I’m no genuis, but I think someone made a mistake. I was shopping on a popular chain department store website for Wii games when I came across this picture for some Chicken type game for the Wii.

1970’s Bubblicious

October 30th, 2007 by Almost George

Monk’s reference to Freakies got me doing a little bit of research on an era, thankfully, before my time: the 1970’s.

I’m wondering what the heck they were putting in Bubblicious back then.

See this Youtube clip:

Freakies Cereal!

October 30th, 2007 by monk

So apparently there was a cereal called Freakies back in the 1980’s that had little monsters as its mascot (aka Freakies). The whole thing looks nuts to me and I am wondering if anyone remembers the cereal and if so, how did it taste. I would also like to point out the similarities between the checkered flag and that of the Purina dog food symbol.

Tandem Bike? Psh! Try the Conference Bike!

September 20th, 2007 by Almost George

Not sure if you’ve seen this before, but it’s relatively new to me: The Conference Bike, invented by Eric Staller.

Basically, it’s a tricycle where 7 (seven!) riders sit, all facing eachother, pedaling. One lucky person gets to steer the 400 pound “bike”.

On their site you can see videos of it in action - and Oh, how I want one!

There are also great money making oppurtunities, apparently. Which gives me an idea…

Questionable Lyrics?

July 2nd, 2007 by Almost George

Quite awhile back I was informed that there was a list of songs “purportedly deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel” shortly following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

I wanted to do a whole writeup on this, but I’m tired of this sitting in drafts.

So here’s the link: List of Songs with “questionable lyrics” following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

You read it on the internet, so it must be true.

Cats, Robotics, and the People that Blend the Two

April 25th, 2007 by Almost George

A friend send us this.

Be forewarned: it’s about cats, and robotic parts, and the people that put your cats back together with robotic parts. It’s also about the worst spoof site ever.

Please suggest more of these. The Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division is my favorite.

Secrets of the Magic 8-Ball - Revealed!

April 23rd, 2007 by Almost George

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen: the deep, dark secrets that lie within the all-knowing oracle (sold at a toy store near you) have been revealed. Most of the secrets anyway.

If this sounds interesting, see the secrets at Hanttula.

Cheeseracing

March 27th, 2007 by Almost George

From the vast amount of things that I did not know were on the internet, especially since 1997, comes this seemingly innocent question:

Q: What do you think happens when you throw a slice of processed cheese (without removing the plastic wrapping) onto a lit barbeque?

The plastic melts giving off highly toxic fumes and you are left with a pretty grim cheese/plastic mess welded on to your BBQ, right?

WRONG!

Actually, it seems that the answer is very, very different. Enter Cheeseracing.

I can’t wait to try this.
