ACTAACBLWWKM, Monday, March 30, 2009

For those who haven’t been around too long, ACTAACBLWWKM stands for Audio Clips That Aren’t Audio Clips Because Le Wif Would Kill Me.  This week’s not-clip is a doozy.
What It Sounds Like When Gallagher is Alone in a Room With a Watermelon.
Enjoy. 

It’s Time to Get Rid of Cable.

So, if you follow me on Twitter, you probably know that Le Wif and I recently bought the Netflix TV player.  We don’t watch that much television, but having ol’ Le Bebe around kind of parks us on the couch a little more than we used to be and this fact has resulted in more [...]

Fake Pet Sounds

Every Monday, I bring you the title of an audio clip you don’t want to hear. Here’s this week’s offering.
The Incessant Whirring of a Centrifuge Separating Dog Blood.  Enjoy.

I Like Running.

Around August or so of last year, I started running in the mornings before work. I got quite regular with it, running a few miles every morning with the idea that I’d lose some weight, and maybe sign up for a 5k or something like that. Then it got cold outside, and I [...]

Information You Couldn’t Possibly Use

Every Wednesday afternoon, I bring you a completely useless bit of information that is completely made up of ABSOLUTELY TRUE FACTS.
In 1873, Ulysses S. Grant began his second term as President of the United States in the face of a crisis having to do with currency. This crisis is often referred to as “The [...]

The Best Beer I’ve Ever Had (So Far)

Oh. My. God.  It tastes like chocolate and coffee.  It’s thick and dark.  Just the right about of bitterness.  It’s like a magical liquid meal.  This beer is North Coast Brewery’s Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout.

Given that I’m more or less a beer novice, here’s what I understand about a regular old stout versus a [...]

This Beer is Very Good

As part of my seemingly never-ending quest to find tasty beers, I came across one that interested me at Beer Advocate a few weeks ago.  I finally found it in the form of a 4-pack at one of my local liquor stores.  It’s Bluegrass Brewing Company’s Jefferson’s Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout (BBCJRBBS for short).  [...]

Today is My Birthday.

You can buy me a hat here. Not required, but definitely hilarious.

The Paomnnehal Pweor Of The Hmuan Mnid.

Every Wednesday, I bring you a piece of fascinating, useless information.
Sometime around the dawn of the Internet, someone began publicizing, in the form of email forwards, a little paragraph about how people read words.  Anyone remember that?  Here it is:
The Paomnnehal Pweor Of The Hmuan Mnid.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch as Cmabrigde Uinervtisy,

Winnie the Pooh

Every Wednesday, I pass along a singular piece of useless information. If you have useless information you want to share, no matter the topic, post it in the comments.
Winnie the Pooh was a real bear.  He was purchased by a Canadian serviceman from a hunter in Ontario for $20 (presumably in Canadian dollars).  The serviceman [...]

Audio That Doesn’t Exist…

Every Monday afternoon, I bring you the title of a fake audio clip and put a flash player in the entry to see how many people will click on it and then contact me saying that it doesn’t work.  This week’s not-clip:
The Excrutiating Sounds of a Cesaerian Section As Recorded From Inside The Human Bowel:

Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout

I’m still on this kick where I’m trying different beers, so I figured while I am, I’d blog ‘em.  I’ve become a fan of darker beers lately, and am kind of developing a more refined taste in terms of being able to discern more individual flavors existent in a beer.  I suppose that this is [...]
