The Marijuana Doll House [PICS]

Aug 6th

Posted by zanx in News

No comments

This hilarious dollhouse is outfitted to look like a weed-growing house and is proudly on display in the window of a San Francisco cafe. The dollhouse features Pee Wee Herman dolls, Star Trek action figures, a magic brownie-baking kitchen, and (so my eyes tell me) real marijuana clippings.

…Let us now inspect the lounge. Here we have Pee Wee looking chipper in his rocking chair, while just behind him — not quite in the photo — are our beloved Star Trek action figures. Note the recurring pot leaf decor. And the vom-tastic Pepto Bismol carpet….

5 Musicians Who Should Really be President

Aug 5th

We decided to start tallying up a few musicians we’d like to see run here in the United States. Keep in mind, these are the artists we think should run, not ones that we’d necessarily vote for.

…Yesterday, CNN reported that Wyclef Jean has entered himself into the bid for president in Haiti. This doesn’t mark the first time a celebrity has run for office, and while we wish him the best of luck, we have to wonder what qualifications he has other than being a member of the seminal ’90s group the Fugees.

Since this isn’t an election we can actually participate in, we decided to start tallying up a few musicians we’d like to see run here in the United States. Keep in mind, these are the artists we think should run, not ones that we’d necessarily vote for. See our picks after the jump….

“I want a soft shell, and this is a stickup. Give me all your money,” the suspect reportedly told the cashier.

…The woman tried pulling a hammer from her shorts pocket but
could not remove the weapon after tugging on the handle, reports
stated. The cashier pressed the restaurant’s panic button and
called 911. The suspect fled without any money, police said….

Taco Bell Removes the "Truck" from "Food Truck"

Aug 4th

Posted by Jane in News

No comments

Taking note of the success of mobile vendors across the country, Taco Bell just announced that it is rolling out several items inspired by Mexican street food. The chain is calling them Cantina Tacos and selling them at street-food prices, $1.49 a taco.

…xvx175 says:
Joe, your comment was funny in a “truthy” sort of way. But you got both facts wrong (impressive for a one sentence comment).

First, Taco Bell didn’t invent the hard shell taco. Hard shell tacos were around at least 12 years before Taco Bell opened its first store. Second, Taco Bell has offered soft tacos for at least 20 years. I remember eating them in the early 1990s.

Denveater, regarding price, it’s sort of mid-range. There are cheaper items, like the plain old hard taco on what used to be the “value menu”. But once you step up from there, prices range $1.60 to $2.70 per item.

As the anonymous coward wrote, it’s still cheaper than tacos from local food trucks, but not as cheap as what you’d get on the street in Mexico. That seems to be about right for the market they’re trying to hit with this product. I’m definitely going to have to try them out!

Finally, a good taco doesn’t need anything more than onions, cilantro, and lime. The real trick will be to see how they do with corn…

Six Rappers Talk Their Worst Summer Jobs Ever

Aug 4th

Certain rappers would have you believe they were running extensive criminal enterprises before they decided to pursue a career in rhymed verse, the truth is more mundane. Most rappers suffer the rite of working demoralizing dead-end jobs while attempting to jump-start their careers.

…Image via Darrell Bell Hip-hop is the world’s most brazenly capitalist genre of music. If Jay-Z’s not talking about playing Monopoly with real cash, then Kanye West’s tweeting about the cherub-motifed Persian rugs and golden goblets he’s just scored at Fishs Eddy. But while certain rotund rap types would have you believe they were running extensive criminal enterprises before they decided to pursue a career in rhymed verse, the truth is more mundane. Most rappers suffer the rite of working demoralizing dead-end jobs while attempting to jump-start their careers and clock up music industry cash, whether it’s the Wu-Tang Clan’s Method Man greeting tourists at the Statue of Liberty, Biggie bagging groceries at a Met Foods supermarket, or Kanye’s mush-mouthed rapping friend Consequence ringing up monochromatic sweater vests at GAP. So when Fat Joe–who just so happens to have released a new album last week–opened his heart to us about sweating it out as a security guard one summer at a sneaker store, we decided…

Can You Handle It? The Five Spiciest Foods in the Country

Aug 4th

Posted by stim37 in News

A chocolate bar made with the hottest pepper on Earth, a Sichuan hot pot served with pork blood — these are the hottest dishes in the United States. Are you up to the challenge?

…schmevely/FlickrDave’s Ultimate Insanity Hot Sauce: Be afraid. You think you like it hot? As spicy foods go mainstream, Americans’ tolerance of Scoville heat units has risen. Still, we don’t advise trying these foods unless you have an abnormally maniacal pain threshold:

1. Dave’s Ultimate Insanity Hot Sauce: The self-proclaimed hottest sauce in the universe is hotter than Dave’s original Insanity Sauce, which was the only food product ever to be banned from the National Fiery Foods Show. “Be afraid,” says Dave’s website.
Emily Koh/Serious Eats 2. Phaal (Brick Lane Curry House, New York City): This most extreme Indian curry is made into a challenge at this Manhattan eatery, where you must offer a “verbal disclaimer not holding us liable for any physical or emotional damage.” “P’haal of Fame” winners get a bottle of beer on the house and their picture on the website.

Mom Who Starved Baby Is Pregnant Again

Aug 3rd

Posted by zanx in News

Her last two kids were taken away from her. But that didn’t stop Brittainy Labberton from getting pregnant again.

…we all see it coming.”
What the county fears is a repeat of Labberton’s first two attempts at motherhood. Following the birth of her second child in August of 2008, Labberton says she became depressed and suicidal, yet refused to take medication.

The 5′5”, 90-pound woman feared getting fat. And seemed to project those fears onto her kids, who, as everyone knows, are supposed to be a little chubby.

Labberton’s younger daughter was first taken from her custody after she only gained one pound in her first two months of life. Then, after a supervised visit in which she told the foster parents her kid looked fat, the baby got diarrhea. Tests later revealed that Labberton had fed the child laxatives.

Labberton’s older daughter, then two, was also taken from her care. Her foster parents say that when they first brought her home, she ate so fast she choked.

There’s good reason to believe this pattern is repeating itself now, as Labberton has already been hospitalized once during her latest pregnancy for not…

The Top Ten Rap Supergroups That Never Happened

Jul 31st

Posted by sammy3 in News

Rap’s history is littered with fanciful unions, most of which rarely get beyond the brain-storming stage: pesky little glitches like scheduling conflicts, waning enthusiasm, and mortality, among other things, tend to keep most supergroups from ever becoming reality.

…Over the weekend, the rapper Sean Price took to Twitter to propose a collaboration album between his own Brooklyn-based Boot Camp Clik hip-hop crew and Staten Island’s mighty Wu-Tang Clan. The idea has been received rapturously. But then again, theoretical hip-hop supergroups usually are. Rap’s history is littered with fanciful unions, most of which rarely get beyond the brain-storming stage: pesky little glitches like scheduling conflicts, waning enthusiasm from higher profile members, and mortality, among other things, tend to keep most supergroups from ever becoming reality. But that doesn’t mean playing rap fantasy football isn’t fun. Here’s a rundown of ten of the most desired hip-hop supergroups from the genre’s real life annals, along with the reason they never quite happened:Wu-Tang Clan vs. Boot Camp Clik
