Well most of us in the states anyway. Last night I caught a preview of King Corn in a local independent theater (it will be airing on PBS next month).

Corn is everywhere. In your food and drink, in batteries, magazines, disposable diapers, even toothpaste. How it got there is another story, complicated by international tariffs, genetic engineering, chemically produced sweeteners, crop subsidies, skyrocketing grocery bills, mad cow disease and corporate agribusiness.

Watch the movie and change your diet.

“The SURGER sends ultrasonic sound through the beer activating that instant rush of GUINNESS magic, creating a rich black body with a tight white creamy head.”

Only works with special cans of GUINNESS.

Here’s a youtube video of the suger in action.

Somehow I have never come across this fruit in my entire life. Critical Miami has a great photo of a piece ready to spoon from. Apparently they need to be very ripe. It is also used in ice cream, milk, juice, dips and liquor.

Chemists have created a collection of molecules that may have effects superior to marijuana. They are hybrids of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in weed, and anandamide, the euphoria-causing chemical found in sea urchin eggs.

My favorite dive bar is currently in 1st place on Esquire’s ‘The Best Bars in America’ voting. If you’ve been, stop by the link and give your support. An accurate and amusing write-up:

Presumably, you are in Miami because you are looking for trouble. At the Deuce, you will have a very good time finding it. If you’ve ever wanted to really feel the pulp, if you’ve ever wanted to get noir, like all night long, then you’re going to want to get yourself Deuced. There is, of course, a pool table. It turns from friendly to sharkish depending on who and how you play. There’s a jukebox, too. It’s filled with all the up-to-no-good classics. Finally, though, there is the bar itself, a striking horseshoe design that allows you to keep one eye on your drink and one eye on everybody in the joint. That’ll come in handy when Cameron Diaz comes in for a little late-night slumming. Or when trouble comes looking for you.

Off to kayak to check flights!

The plan is to convert the buildings in which prostitutes pose in the windows into apartments and more conventional commercial space.

And while they are at it…

[Mayor Cohen] also sees the buyout as a chance to begin clearing out the cannabis-selling coffee shops

If these changes go through as planned, about 5-10 years down the road, Amsterdam will likely have surpassed their current tourism dollars as a wealthier crowd becomes the norm. A bit like present-day Fort Lauderdale compared with the Spring Break/MTV crowd that was stomped out in the late 80s.

I was just thinking about how I miss my homeland….

Waukesha - The worst part wasn’t that Mark Stahnke woke up Monday morning in the patio chair of some neighbor he didn’t know.

Or that his pants were missing.

The worst part was the contents of his missing pants: a cashier’s check for $41,093, which he meant to give to his son, and several hundred dollars in cash that he had gotten from the bank.

Stahnke still doesn’t know what happened between the time he left a bar Sunday night and the time he woke up in some stranger’s backyard Monday morning, but thanks to an honest citizen who found the missing pants and returned all the contents to the local authorities, Stahnke retrieved his valuables Friday from the Waukesha Police Department.

He got the pants back, too.

and it’s got cancer. A rather cool way to raise awareness actually. I know I’m eating better after looking at that patch of advanced cancer.

Visit the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation for more info.

Slap on a Transformers or Backyardigans sticker and the kids should be thrilled. Are lunch boxes are still around? $5.95 per Dozen seems very cheap.

Looks like it’d also work for milk and cookies.
