I liked Jesus Christ Superstar. Especially when the tanks showed up.

BOOJ! There It Is
2000-03-22 19:24:14
Another delicioso Spocktail from the grumbling belly of Spock Mountain Research Labs/Beverage Technology division! Go Spock-o! Go Spock-o! Get busy now! Go Spock-o!
This week's Spocktail of the Week is based on the wonderfully bitter and horrible wine, the beaujolais nouveau! The beaujolais nouveau (BOO-zho-lay NOO-voh) is the new wine from the Beaujolais region of French. Like all young wines, it is ill-tempered and disrespectful; like everything French, it is highly decadent and dismissive.
Also, since the wine comes out in November, by March (now) it's cheap as all hell, marked down to practically NOTHING on the discount shelves. A fine wine for everyone! A fine wine for SPOCKTAILS!
Our spocktail of the week, the BOOJ! There It Is, has the same in-your-ass attitude of beaujolais nouveau, with a funky twist. The crabby flavors of beaujolais nouveau, mixed with the ice-pick brainsplitting Absolut and the sickly-sweet Cointreau make for a bounty of feverish fun.
I like to mix up a big batch of BOOJ! There It Is's when I've got to do some power-brokering between rival Chinese street gangs. The crazy flavors of BOOJ! There It Is make the stiff-haired huang chei mellow out for long enough that we can lay out a map on the table and divide up the ha (neighborhoods) with a Sharpie pen without somebody getting a dragon-handled switchblade through the back of their hand.
And beaujolais to that!

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

Who will talk for me when this terrible day comes? (More...)
Place the Lighter on the Ground and Let Us See Your Hands
So I have been thinking on this whole flag burning issue and all the things it could imply. Now a lot of people right now are saying that there are more important issues at stake and something so trivial is a waste of time. Believing such is really losing sight of some very key changes happening in our nation right now. Being a strict conservative, and currently serving in Iraq, I was surprised to find that I am actually appalled that the House approved a ban on flag burning. (More...)
