Portland Travelogue Part 2: Phantasmagorical Food Awesometown & Don’t drink the mouthwash

By Giania • Oct 1st, 2009 • Category: Potent Potables

Hot:

So here it is, Thursday morning. I’d like to talk to you for a moment about food, and some crappy absinthe, but first, food.
There may have already been some food (and general trip) related photos, so make sure you’re keeping tabs on my flickr, which I didn’t even know that ping.fm posted to until [...]



The Craigslist Posting That Will Almost Certainly Never Be

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2009 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Disclaimer-by-way-of-Prologue – I sat down and thought to myself: “Suppose I was to solicit some kind of bodily coupling through something like craigslist, in an area where these kind of services are clearly not at their peak usefulness?” This is the result of that thought process. (I may have also been letting my mind wander [...]



Amazing Concoction: Doctor Funkenstein

By Giania • Jun 10th, 2009 • Category: Food

Hot:

As drinks go, especially mixed drinks, I’m a big fan of traditional over fruity or “umbrella” drinks (you know, the ones that turn you into a zombie? ha ha).
However, Mister Parker’s recent experiment with the recipe for a drink known as the Doctor Funk has proved to be an elixir of great potency. It is [...]

It would probably read a lot like this feature over at Progressive Boink. It’s got poems, vignettes in the author’s style of the more well-known Peanuts characters, and original comics done up with dialogue in Bukowski’s style.
For more information about Henry Charles Bukowski, there is a list of 100 trivia items about the author available [...]



Sometimes, Your Being Offended Offends Me 1

By Giania • Apr 11th, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest

Hot:

Case in point: People getting all up in arms about an Absolut print ad campaign depicting a large chunk of the southwest United States as being part of Mexico “In an Absolut World”.
Give me a break, people. What are you offended by, exactly? History? The fact of the matter is, the land depicted in the [...]



More Mix: Better in Pairs

By Giania • Apr 5th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot:

In this mix, for your listening pleasure, I thought I’d slow things down, and stretch things out a little. Kind of get you all in the mood for some late night philosophy and spooning. I’m too cheap to ply all of you with booze so I thought I’d make you a mix tape, kind of [...]



Unspeakable Office Drinks

By meatbagwtf • Mar 31st, 2008 • Category: Memes, Potent Potables, Science!

Hot:

One look at our vending machines will tell you that office-dwelling drones like Your Humble Narrator are always seeking out exotic drinkable liquids. Especially if said liquids are reputed to be imbued with energizing or stupefying properties. Maybe it’s the condition of our imprisonment, which in this office typically involves non-ergonomic, castoff cubicles, brutally punishing [...]



Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

By Giania • Mar 17th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Now go read some James Joyce and get drunk!
Then after you’re drunk, read some of the dirty letters he wrote to his lady. Ooh la la!

This message inspired by: Shelfari and the urge to get drunk.

Being, in suitable Measure, a humble Broadside in the Baroque Fashion, the Aim, inasmuch as mere Persons be possessed of a Will to divine Truths, and these Truths doth shew the Purpose and Designes of such a benevolent Creator, who, though a Deity endowed with Caprice, hath made Humankind in His Image, and there-by disencumb’red [...]
