Starbucks may be the McDonalds of the coffee world, but sometimes there is just no way around that jones for a cup of joe. Today was one of those days. A late night of wishing friends farewell from the city of angels turned into sleeping past my alarm and running late for work. With no time to make my usual breakfast, I was hurting for a jump start. With Starbucks directly across the street from my office it was my only option. As I walked in, silently wishing I was at Intelligentsia, I commi...
Make My Mondays Meatless! One day a week join in on cutting out the meat! This Presidential initiative revived by The Monday Campaigns in association with Johns Hopkins, rolled out this program to the Baltimore public schools, then San Francisco went meatless and now celebrity chef extraordinaire Mario Batali and his fleet of fabulous restaurants said I'll play too! Now you too can help fuel this fire!
Be honest about your pet's ability to travel. If your pet is very young or old, or is ill, pregnant, or recovering from surgery, it may be better for all concerned to look into a pet sitter or kennel rather than take a chance on injuring your pet by taking it with you. If you are in doubt, ask your veterinarian. If your pet has not traveled before, try a short overnight or weekend trip first.
A butcher block table (or counter) is a solid, wooden table. Originating in butcher shops (hence the name), this has become a popular household item. Butcher block tables and counters are durable and attractive looking. The downside of butcher block is that the wood is so porous it can stain easily. Butcher block can be sanded and refinished to get rid of stains, but that drastic step isn't always necessary.
It's 1976. The hottest arcade game on the market is Blockade (or Blokade), an 8-bit maze game for 2 players. You and your opponent must move your characters around the screen in 90-degree angles, leaving a solid line behind them. Whoever runs into one of the solid lines first, loses. But soon you'll be able to play this fascinating game from the comfort of your own home—
Yesterday was the biggest shopping event of the year— Black Friday— the day after Thanksgiving. Most waiting in huge lines, getting swallowed up by commercialism on its biggest profit-turning day, and there's still tons of shopping to be had on Saturday and Sunday, with many stores continuing their sales across the weekend. But if you're not interested in bouncing heads with a rush of angry holiday shoppers, you can still get the same deals online, from the comfort and safety of your own home.
My prank is called the Hellburger.
Packaged macaroni and cheese dinners can be a quick, guilty pleasure, but making the real thing can be easy, too. This is the perfect recipe for a rainy day (and great for kids on spring break!)
Facebook's new Timeline feature has been rolling out gradually since its unveiling in September, but yesterday it finally became available to Facebookers everywhere. It's even available on your mobile device, too. Those who want to upgrade to the radical new profile design can do so by simple logging into their Facebook account and visiting the About Timeline page on Facebook.
At GDC 2011 this past March, three of the world's best game designers participated in a contest called Game Design Challenge. Each presented their vision for a game that fit the prompt "Bigger than Jesus: games as religion" before an audience, with applause to determine the winner. Jenova Chen, John Romero, and Jason Rohrer all spoke, and Rohrer won in a landslide with his revolutionary game called Chain World.
This simple meal is dedicated to all food lovers around the world and to all the Filipino diehard fans of "dinuguan"—otherwise known as pork blood stew, blood pudding stew, and even chocolate meat. I don't know where this recipe originated, but I would like to thank my girlfriend's mom for teaching me how to cook this.
I was up the other night trying to find something to eat, and with the ingredients laying around, I came up with this yummy grilled chicken wrap! This is a super quick and easy meal you can make in a flash with just a few ingredients. It makes a great lunch or even a light dinner. Excellent for the healthy eaters and dieters!
Go to a car dealership dressed as a pregnant woman and ask to test drive a nice car. Once in the car start chatting with the car salesman and suddenly pretend to feel pain and start fake contractions. Pull over the car and start screaming. Make the salesman feel scared and worry about the car. Start having fake blood squirt everywhere and complain about how it feels like you are being eaten. Eventually have a fake devil baby come out of a dress or skirt (could just be a doll). Pretend that yo...
To start off with, you need to have an activity to do while the challenge happens (poker, running, something....I prefer a poker game because it forces everyone to be near each other and bathrooms nearby) Everyone takes a laxative, wears an adult diaper and eats taco bell, and sits around playing poker. There are enough bathrooms for all but one person. The loser is the person that poops first, and as soon as they do everyone else can go relieve themselves. Afterwards, the loser can't change ...
This is more of an endurance challenge than a prank. Everyone will be locked in a room and provided with water (possibly a room with a clear acrylic wall like a racket ball court and an air lock). The temperature will be kept at a balmy 85-100 degrees. Other than participants and their water supply, the only other thing in the room will be one of those geriatric potty chairs, the kind with the bucket underneath that has to be emptied and a large drum to empty it in. Everyone has three days to...
Here is quick recipe for a sponge birthday cake. Watch out though, don't make the mistake our hosts made. They used two tablespoons of butter instead of two teaspoons. If you follow the along with this how to video, minus the tablespoon of butter, you are sure to make a delicious sponge cake. Use strawberries and cream to decorate. If the cake doesn't work out you can just eat the strawberries and creame. Bake a sponge cake with strawberries and cream.
When it comes to treating migraines, the best offense is usually a good defense. Alexander Mauskop, MD, Headache Specialist: We don't want to chase every headache. We would rather prevent the headaches and lifestyle changes are very important. For migraine sufferers, it's very important to go to sleep at the same time and get up at the same time. They have to eat on time and they have to hydrate themselves and very, very important to exercise on a regular basis. Prevent migraines through life...
Insecticides are widespread products which are used daily in our lives. Organophosphorus is the main compound in these products and has toxic effects on our health that may be fatal in some cases.
Very simple idea. This would require a volunteer to donate a recently amputated arm or leg. Jack-ass crew would cook it up and eat it. It's that simple and disgusting.
Get each guy to eat a ton of mexican or some other heavy food, or get them all drunk, then modify the seats of some really intense roller coaster, one with flips and corkscrews and stuff, so that they ride all backwards. Or, after each run they each have to take a shot. See who can go the longest or see who pukes the most. Hooray!
get ehren a hotel room w/ all tile floors get him fucked up drunk eat "special" brownies with laxative in em wait 4 him to pass out ... butter the fuck outta his hotel room .. he wakesm up shits gonna be flyin
In each day of our life, we see inflammation. We see it during sore throats and abscess formations in our bodies, and even slight tooth pain is a form of inflammation. Sometimes it's good when it fights to protect us from invading organisms, but sometimes it becomes bad when it occurs in inappropriate ways, like acne.
The CNA certification exam can be stressful at times, especially on the clinical exam portion. However, despite the exam difficulties, everything has a solution. Qualified nursing assistants are preparing various CNA study techniques and CNA study guides just to reduce any test anxieties and stress.
10 years already... I think it's time for some teambuilding, Jackass-style! An easy 3 step program to tighten up those bonds amongst the Jackass team members...
Why settle on just pork chops or ribs when you can string up the entire pig? Serious Eats posts an great slide show on roasting a whole pig, from materials to the process to the perfect pig roastin' sauce.
Each guy eats a hearty mexican meal followed by a very, very large dosage of laxatives. Then all 8 area broken into four 2-man teams to compete in a relay race around a track on a scorching hot day. The batons are dildos. And each "athlete" has to wear a light colored spandex.
Get someone to go somewhere where there's lots of people, have them stop in the middle of a crosswalk and take a shit (eat lots of Ex-Lax). Then pull up your pants and walk away.
Bam's Birthday is coming up and i think that it would be funny to hide a key in bams birthday cake, he accedently eats the key and then we handcuff him to eerin (his favorite cast member). the only way for him to get free is to shit out or throw up the key later in the day. but he has to live with eerin for who knows howlong.
Simple stunt that I've always thought Steve-O should do:
take any household item, take a downhill drag race, snow or dirt.... and race them, from fridges to sofas and sinks... have a downhill race... loser must eat yellow snow or hit with a piss filled water balloon
Minecraft just wouldn't be the same without all of those pesky monsters trying to break into your house and jump on you until you die. But that gets tiring after awhile, and sometimes you just want a safe place to go where you don't have to worry about being eaten, shot, or blown up.
After his fall from Asgard into space, the Asgardian Loki meets the Other, the leader of a warmongering alien race known as the Chitauri. In exchange for retrieving the Tesseract,2 a powerful energy source of unknown potential, the Other promises Loki a Chitauri army with which he can subjugate the Earth. Nick Fury, director of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., arrives at a remote research facility during an evacuation. Physicist Dr. Erik Selvig is leading a research team experimenting on th...
The only thing better than successfully pulling off a new experiment is doing it with household materials. You get to laugh in conceit as professional scientists everywhere spend all their grant money on the same project you just accomplished with some under-the-sink chemicals! However, there are times when DIY gets dangerous. Some household chemicals are not pure enough to use and some are just pure dangerous. Let's take a look at two problems I have encountered in the course of mad sciencing.
Glass is one of the least reactive substances known to chemistry. It is the standard container material for almost all lab chemicals because it's so inert. But there are a couple of substances that have strong reactions with glass. Sodium hydroxide, aka solid drain cleaner or lye, can easily be stored in glass as a solid, but when molten, it reacts violently with glass and can actually dissolve it away! So, the next time you clog up your drains with broken glass beakers and flasks, rest assur...

As touched upon in the past, knowing all of the possible words you can play is key to being a better Scrabble player. If you don't have the vocabulary, then you can't compete against the best of the best, and you'll never even get the chance to spar against professionals such as Nigel Richards, Joe Edley, Andrew Fisher, and Wayne Kelly.
