Cheaters Never Win

One of the all time great videos. It’s a news story that involves grape stomping to make wine. The two women are having a friendly contest to see who can stomp the most grapes. The woman on the left calls stop, but then cheats by stomping a few extra times. Karma catches up with her rather quickly.

State of the Union

Two words: Dikembe Mutombo

President Bush’s speech seemed designed to answer his critics that he doesn’t understand the real conflict in Iraq between the Sunnis and the Shiites, but his plan doesn’t seem to reflect any of these details. 20,000 more troops to secure Baghdad, but what then?

Some Loud Thunder

Listen to the new Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album on myspace, although the sound quality is poor. They’re offering a really cool deal where if you pre-order the album they’ll let you download the MP3’s now. I tried to order it from Insound, but got an error in the checkout. Last time I bought their CD from Insound I received two copies, so I’m not sure what’s going on over there.

If you want to try pre-ordering, check out their website.

Update: I guess the first song is supposed to sound like that.

Twin Peaks

Don’t know how long these will last, but there are a ton of Twin Peaks episodes on YouTube right now. Here’s the first 16 minutes of the first episode. If you like them, go rent the DVD (although a warning: Season 2 isn’t on DVD!)

Beer Verdict

I picked up a coil box, or jockey box, for my beer keg and tried it out last night sufficiently chilled and sufficiently carbonated. The verdict: It’s good! It’s a very bitter, hoppy IPA and Jeanne didn’t like it at all but I enjoyed it immensely. The only weirdness was that slight metallic taste, but it didn’t ruin the beer. The color is beautiful and if I had to guess the alcohol content is fairly low.
