Tacos

I am getting a lame philly taco for lunch today. Maybe I need to spend less of my day at work reading about tacos 3000 miles away. Why not become a cheese steak fanatic? why? Because they are not that good. The sad part about this is, if anyone, or the wrong person reads this, I could be castrated for saying so.

H(S)amm's Beer

Sam and I used to drink Hamm's beer my entire second year at MassArt. This is in 2000 and we soon found out the beer had not been produced since 1996. Still one of the best beers I ever had. And the label is relatively unchanged.

This is me and i am afraid of it.

Historic baseball equipment

I want to try playing catch with these gloves and balls. This site celebrates historical babeball uniforms and equipment. You can even order replicas and try it out for yourself.

Does your gas pedal stick?

The feeling I get from fixing my own car is euphoric. Knowing I have saved hundreds of dollars and a headache is so satisfying. Well I want to share this quick fix to a common problem with all older cars. If your gas pedal sticks initially, from a stop, when you try to depress it, you have a gunk problem. There is a butterfly valve in the air intake of the engine where carbon goo is built up. What you need for the fix is a flathead screwdriver, rag/toothbrush and a bottle of carburetor cleaner (about $2.89). You just spray some carb cleaner on the valve and go at it with the rag/toothbrush. I did not have the smoke problem found here.

'Can I get an Amen' by Nate Harrison

This L.A. artist breaks down the history of a drum solo from The Winstons' 1969 B side Amen Brother. This Break went on to become a foundation for hip-hop and Jungle. Harrison provides a history lesson and also his two cents on tough copywrite laws and their effect on culture. Thanks Anna for the Link

Julian Tavarez is nuts

Julian Tavarez of the Red Sox punched Tampa Bay's Joey Gathright in the face yesterday. This is an amazing slide show of the incident. Also check out Tavarez's past. He is fucking nuts. He may be the meanest, ugliest person in all of Major Leauge Bassball. Come on, name another?
