Captain’s Log: 17 July, 1677
What a grand day this 17 of July be. With faithful Grog as lookout, me crew boarded the Grand Madame in the dead of night and by morn more than the night lay dead. The treasure, rare teas from the seven seas with tastes more satisfyin than my last port call. Our plunder, we be warned, does strange things… desires, urges, energy of gunpowder. On taste moves men in ways known only in the depths of the blue. For the Grand Madame and her crew… Twas their last taste…

[Food News] Baconlube: A Bacon-Flavored Personal Lubricant
The people over at J&D’s have a firm-standing belief that everything should taste like bacon. Everything. They’ve already made porky products such as Bacon Salt (our review), a bacon-flavored mayonnaise called Baconnaise, and a Bacon Lip Balm that shimmers with all of the vibrancy of artery-clogging pig grease.
But that isn’t enough, not by a long shot. Now J&D’s is taking bacon into the bedroom with this super slippery personal lubricant, giving a whole new meaning to the word “porking.”
It’s not yet for sale, but bacon enthusiasts looking to get their bacon strip extra crispy can head on over to the J&D website and sign up for beta testing.
[Movie News] Inception Trailer
Not sure how long this has been up, but I just came upon the trailer for Inception, the newest movie from Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan. The movie, staring Leonardo DiCaprio, is scheduled for release on July 16 of next year. The trailer is kind of vague, but being a huge fan of Nolan, who also directed great films like Memento and The Prestige, I eagerly await this new mind trip.

[Video Game Review] Flipnote Studio (DSiWare)
The DSiWare Shop has been a pretty dismal place since its launch. There have been a few gems, sure, like Asphalt 4 and Mighty Flip Champs, but for the most part we are just getting bad games, useless apps, and overpriced re-releases of minigames from minigame collections. The selection of available titles is so weak, I’ve begun to question whether anything truly awesome would ever come from the service, or if it was doomed to be a footnote at the bottom of Nintendo’s latest DS upgrade.
Finally, a game has come that makes it crucial for you to buy a DSi, and it isn’t even a game! Flipnote Studio is a free program gamers can download from the DSi Shop channel and create their very own flipbooks. Continue reading to find out why this free program serves as the DSi’s killer app. Continue reading
[Music Review] “Lose Our Heads” by Smile Case
Smile Case is primarily a one-man band from Canada. Ben Andress, the singer/guitarist/songwriter, owns his own record label called Blacktop Records and records lots of smaller Canadian bands. “Lose Our Heads” is his first studio album that he produced himself with the help of a few friends.
Let’s check this moose out, eh? Continue reading
[Food Review] Hardee’s Fried Bologna Biscuit
A few days ago our good friends over at GrubGrade told the hungry world about the new Fried Bologna Biscuit from Hardee’s. Needless to say, eaters who were expecting a new sandwich similar to the Big Carl from Carl’s Jr, Hardee’s sister establishment, were quite disappointed. Average Southerners or poor Northerners (yo), however, will find instant appeal in the new breakfast biscuit.
Will Hardee’s newest morning menu item turn bologna into the new ham? There’s only one way to find out. It’s review time! Continue reading
[Energy Shot Review] Mr. Energy 8-Hour Shot
Overview:
When it comes to energy shots, five hours is usually the accepted amount of time a boost should last. But why? Work shifts aren’t five hours. School days aren’t five hours. Why settle for around half of what you want when there is a product out there that can give you exactly what you need.
Ladies and gentlemen, the 8-Hour Energy Shot, formulated to last all day long with no traceable crash. Can this little bottle really deliver on such huge promises? We’re about to find out, because it’s review time! Continue reading
[Food & Drink Review] MolliCoolz! Shakers: Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream
Overview:
Who doesn’t love a good milkshake? Unfortunately for everyone, however, there are several things usually required to get your hands on a delicious, creamy shake. Moving, for instance, is one that many Americans frown upon. No one wants to get in the car and drive to Dairy Queen or walk back and forth from the freezer to their blender to create a homemade milkshake, no sir, not in 2009. The future is now.
That’s where MolliCoolz! Shakers come into play. A little plastic cup containing some kind of brilliant technology that allows users to create delicious milkshakes by adding milk and shaking. Yes there still is a little effort involved, but at least it only takes 30 seconds of sweating and heavy breathing to create a delightful treat. Drink up, all that shaking is exhausting!
