  • The Most Brilliant Ten Minutes of Web Video You\’ll See Today

    Hat tip right off the bat to Matt Cassamassina\’s video games blog over at IGN. Major kudos for finding this . . . ahem . . . gem. I don\’t even know if I can write coherently on this subject. If you\’ll simply navigate your way to the website for Crystal Head Vodka (yes, seriously),…

  • High Fructose Corn Syrup – The New Trans Fat?

    I was watching TV the other day when a commercial came on that caught me eye.

  • One iPhone\’s view of the MN State Fair

    Your intrepid SP crew took it upon themselves to tackle the Great Minnesota Get Together last week, and I decided to take a low-quality snapshot tour for everyone\’s enjoyment. Click on past the jump to see all of the technicolor goodness.

  • Austin in the News

    If it\’s Austin in the news, and it\’s not a man trying to jump a sledding hill, or a man robbing a convenience store with a cheeseburger, or a burglar foiled by register tape, or a kid getting stuck in a crane game, or someone desecrating Starman\’s grave, or defecating in an envelope, or. .…

  • Friday Field Trip! (With Pictures!)

    It\’s Friday, it\’s almost summer vacation time, and I\’m unemployed. So what better to do, than go on a field trip! And do I ever have a special field trip destination for you, dear readers. That\’s right, I went to: Wades Supermarket! No, really. I did. Southwest Virginia\’s finest locally owned and operated chain of…

  • Steven Seagal is Hard to . . . Drink?!

    This might just be what does it. I may have officially seen everything. I present you with the officially branded Steven Seagal energy drink. Yes, you did read that correctly. I\’m not quite sure what to say, and I\’m not particularly interested in learning more. And while Cherry Charge seems like a reasonable flavor, what…

  • Get Drunk for Charity!

    Ok. Now that I have Wade A\’s attention. Kidding, I\’m kidding. Well, actually I\’m serious about the drinking. Check it out here (scroll down to \”Charity Wines\”). There\’s so much goodness here that I don\’t quite know how to cover it. I guess I\’ll go with the old standby: the unordered list. We\’ll put that…

  • last supper

    i was paging through people magazine the other day (don\’t ask) and found a review of a new book that detailed what famous chefs would select for their last meal. requests range from the light and simple (chips and guac– jonathan waxman) to classic (roast beef– gordon ramsay) to elegant (caviar, suckling pigs, truffles– gary…

  • Popcorn Lung

    Because I have limited access to the internet at work, and I was lazy in posting last night, Alex beat me to it… but hell, I\’ll publish anyway. As the saying goes, this is the type of thing that gets my goat. What type of thing you ask? This type of thing. Some of you…

  • Delicious, but deadly.

    Things that are related to each other. Emphysema. Asthma. Black Lung. Popcorn Lung. Popcorn Lung! Mmmm… popcorn… *drool*. Seriously, I had no idea. Apparently there\’s been some recent news that not only can if afflict the people who manufacture it, but also people who consume it. You know, if you eat it more than twice…
