Limoncello Party Anyone?

So I've been wanting to try Limoncello for a long time, but haven't ever run across any in the store.

I just found a recipe for homemade limoncello that sounds pretty damn delicious:

1 fifth of Everclear (195 proof grain alcohol)
18 lemons (preferably organic so you don't get that gross wax coating)
4 cups water
4 cups sugar
1 fifth of 100 proof vodka

- Zest lemons and put into Everclear and seal tightly. Let mixture steep for 2 weeks, shaking the mixture twice a day (enough to agitate it and get the zest to swirl around)

- After 2 weeks, strain the zest from the vodka. Make a simple syrup of the 4c water and 4c sugar and let cool.

- Add the vodka to the everclear, then add simple syrup.

- Enjoy!

I'm not the only one who hates Wal-Mart, and here's proof.

Apparently this guy (grudgingly) went to a Wal-Mart in Idaho for an oil change during a cross-country trip. Then the fun started...

They tried to charge him for a full oil change that didn't happen at all.

Some of you may remember my Wal-Mart Manifesto; also, here is a great website outlining the sins of this ugly corporation.

Another example of how the relentless vampire is leeching the lifeblood of America, bit by bit...

NIN Video Break

For the NIN fans:

PS: There's also a Hi-Bandwidth option that'll make the videos look better than TV in fullscreen.

His reaction at the end makes it all worthwhile.
"Excuse me, I have to go to space now..."

Also, salvia divinorum is a psychoactive herb that causes a trip lasting from 5-10 minutes. It's legal status is currently in hazy territory; it is not federally regulated, but several states have passed regulatory bills that classify it as a Schedule I drug.

Yeah, I know it's tasteless. The song elevates the video to hilarity status though...

A Soggy Saturday

Well, the main headquarters of Heavy for the Vintage had a slight hiccup this morning. I was evacuated due to flooding! Terre Haute received 7-10 inches of rain last night and my entire apartment complex flooded.

Luckily my apartment is on the second floor and my good friend Austin opened his apartment for me to stay in. I've included pictures of the evacuation, the flooding actually got much worse after my camera died. The water rose around 8 inches after these were taken.

I take a moment to applaud the efforts of Terre Haute rescue teams, including the fire department, ambulance service, and even political figures. Mayor Bennett was on site at my apartment complex and even personally ensured that I had a ride away from the emergency. The emergency teams were on site within an hour of the initial flooding and had good communication with the tenets. My hat goes off to them.

Best Hangover Description EVER

Written by Kingsley Amis in his book Lucky Jim:

Dixon was alive again. Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way; not for him the slow, gracious wandering from the halls of sleep, but a summary, forcible ejection. He lay sprawled, too wicked to move, spewed up like a broken spider-crab on the tarry shingle of the morning. The light did him harm, but not as much as looking at things did; he resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again. A dusty thudding in his head made the scene before him beat like a pulse. His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum. During the night, too, he'd somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by secret police. He felt bad.

Expertly written, to say the least.

Uh Oh

Apparently Obama and Clinton met Thursday night to discuss the possibility of combining forces in the presidential race, placing Clinton as running mate with the victorious Obama.

"We hope that Thursday night's conversation is a step toward an Obama-Clinton ticket that will unify the party." says a representative for VoteBoth, a group aiming to elect both candidates to office together.

Obama, please do not add Clinton to your ticket... her aggressive politics, history of partnering with big business, and her faulty health care plan all discredit her as a quality vice presidential candidate.

There are MUCH better options out there, believe me Senator Obama. Look no further than Indiana for your vice presidential fix... (hint hint)

This is without a doubt the most epic failure any dog has ever experienced.

Even the other dog is surprised at the stupidity it just witnessed.
