Personally I think it is a shitty suggestion... and since this is America... I don't have to justify my reasons.

The Infuriated Mandrill
1999-08-15 20:05:57
First in a regular series! The Pigdog Journal Spocktail of the Week features recipes for EXCITING and DELICIOUS potions and tonics for your quaffing pleasure! Gulp down a whole lot TODAY!
The Infuriated Mandrill takes its name from the stupefying banana flavor that drives primates wild. This delectable palate-pleaser features all the flavors of the rainbow -- ginger, anise, banana -- in a really scary light-green milky fluid. It has a fascinating presentation, since the cocktail burbles and roils geologically, even at rest.
You can try replacing the Looza (TM) with some other kind of banana nectar, but the Looza (TM) stuff has this really long, cool Euro bottle that is very space-age and Spock-like. I prefer to mix up a few Infuriated Mandrills when I'm negotiating a bootleg video smuggling scheme in the back room of an Ethiopian restaurant. It keeps those Teamster bastards off their balance long enough for me to close the deal.
- 4 oz Looza (TM) Banana Nectar
- 1-1/2 oz vodka
- 1-1/2 oz absinthe
- fresh chopped ginger
- green food coloring
Mix all ingredients. Serve chilled in highball glass with mint garnish.

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

It was Friday night at the Casa de Baron and everything was in place -- a group of friends had assembled, people were setting things on fire in the backyard, and a Ferry Corsten double-live CD was playing on the stereo. Everything was in place to make further scientific advances in beverage research and leisure technology. (More...)
The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. Our base of operations is always the ultra swank Spock Mountain Research Labs - the World Leaders in Beverage Science and Leisure Technology. This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)
