DJ’s and producers have been taking two seemingly disparate tracks and combining them for years – coining the phrase “mashup”. This simple concept has now found its way on to the McDonalds Value Meal board. People ask for a spicy chicken sandwich to be put between a double cheeseburger, creating an entirely new taste experience for $2.16. It’s called the McGang Bang.
The funny thing is that it’s become an underground phenomenon. People all over have successfully ordered the McGang bang from McDonalds and have documented the experience. Read more at Eat Me Daily.
I have always been fascinated by locks and as a result, lockpicking. Wired has a really fascinating article about the “ultimate lock picker” – full article is here, but check out the video below…
I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge Hunter S. Thompson fan. I read everything he had ever written (yes even The Curse of Lono) while I was in college. Fear and Loathing is definitely the best known, brought to the mainstream via a major motion picture handled ably by Johnny Depp and Bencio Del Toro. I ran across something today that would appeal to any fan – a board game to help recreate Fear and Loathing. I know what you’re thinking. Hasbro made some plastic piece of sh*t? Not exactly. For $3,500, you too can own this!
Three months of head scratching, knuckle scraping and endless hours spent with shop manuals has almost come to fruition. My 1974 Moto Guzzi Eldorado police is nearly back on the road and ready for a Summer chock full of roadtrips. This past weekend I managed to rebuild the carbs and install a GPS. Just a few more projects and it’s time to put her back together and get it fired up! Just in time for Summer…
Two items I never thought I would write about a year ago are the recession and Copper River Salmon. Well this year I am in Seattle and Copper River Salmon is front page news here. Check out the picture below of the fish coming off the plane.
Copper River Salmon arrives May 15th each year and is known around the world as the best wild salmon available. Something about the cold water and length of the Copper River in Alaska make it delicious, which I am sure you can research if you care to find out the details.
The recession part of this has to do with price. Back in NYC, this salmon usually cost upwards of $40 a pound and in restaurants was a $50+ dish. Well this year due to a recession and a great catch prices are around $30 elsewhere and $20 here in Seattle.
I bought a beautiful 3/4 pound piece this afternoon and this is without a doubt the most delicious salmon I have ever had. This fish is a deep red and melts in your mouth. None of that nuclear orange with the painted white lines you normally see.
I am not sure how long this fish lasts, maybe 30-45 days, so if you see it in our local store, spend the extra $$$ and pick up Copper River Salmon. You will not regret it
Whoever staged this photo should win some type of award, perhaps become Poet Laureate. The best.
