Random Love Potpourri

she.jpgJust in case you think I don't tell you enough about likker, you should read this fine booze-themed blog. Here is a nice review of some junipero gin. They have a more sober weblog, too (note: they still might be posting drunk. You can never usually not tell with bloggers.)

What about little doodles drawn by presidents? This is need-to-know stuff, here. LBJ is the best (he apparently thought about demons a lot.)

Chocolate and Zucchini
is a very nice food blog which is getting some media play.

UPDATE: wait, did I say I wasn't telling you enough about booze? How ya like this: an alcohol inhaling machine. Yes, you breathe in vaporized alcohol mixed with oxygen, allegedly getting "the effect of alcohol without the drunkenness, or hangover." Um, but isn't drunkenness itself 'the effect of alcohol'? Have I been missing something, like how sobriety, or perhaps tepid piety, is the effect of alcohol? Hm. But, I remember when I was just a lass, my dad explained to me that pure oxygen was a surefire hangover cure, and Pops was right. "Belle", he said, "if you've ever got a terrible hangover, but you're in a situation where you have access to one of those oxygen tents, you're golden." You can always trust your dad on things like that. Well, or my dad anyway.

Thank you for the kind words, though what do you mean by "might be?"

In re: alcohol inhaling machines. I remember reading in a magazine once that young Finnish women soak tampons in vodka to get drunk without getting the smell of vodka on their breath. On the other hand, this may be apocryphal; I asked a Finnish friend about it and she said that it wasn't done and furthermore, it didn't work. Which, I suppose, just goes to show the benefits of choosing your story and sticking to it. When I asked whether "it doesn't work" means that she didn't get drunk or that her breath did smell of vodka, she just indicated that the conversation had reached a natural end.

Just because you think we are posting while drank doesn't necessarily mean that we are drunken. I'm less of a drunken moneky and know where to drink and write :P

  • Confused by our comment policy?

    We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
