"Let's roll" was the last thing heard over a air-to-ground phone connection, said by one passenger to another, before the passengers attempted to retake the fourth hijacked aircraft on 9-11. Instead of gaining control of the aircraft and thwarting the hijackers, they succeeded in crashing the plane into the ground and killing everyone aboard, including themselves. A fitting motto if there ever was one.
-- Baron Earl (referring to George W. Bush's new national motto)
Key Lime Spocktail
2002-01-12 00:12:00
Tastes like key lime pie, gets you hammered like nobody's business: Introducing the Key Lime Spocktail!
Key lime pie. It's sweet and sour and tangy and delicious.
But it won't get you hammered and stupid the way this Spocktail will.
Let's get right down to it:
You'll need a chilled martini glass, sweetened lime juice, a graham cracker, vanilla, ice and a bottle of Absolut vodka.
- Crush the graham cracker.
- Coat the rim of the glass with graham cracker crumbs like you were making a margarita and the crumbs were rock salt.
In a shaker combine:
- Two drops of vanilla.
- A shot of sweetened lime juice.
- Two shots of vodka.
- Ice.
Shake and strain it into the glass. Drink. Repeat again and again and again.
You could live on just this drink as long as you can hold your liquor.

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
