Jolt Gum. Each piece contains 45 milligrams of caffeine. The same amount found in your average can of cola. Is there really a market for this product?

Two Giraffes’s fighting. They are going to need a good chiropractor after the fight.

The Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon is Lego’s biggest set ever.  It has over 5,000 pieces.  You will need to be strong in the force to put this one together and make sure you don’t lose any pieces. It also carries a hefty price of $499.99.  That is dollars not republic credits.  That is pricey for little plastic blocks but possibly worth it considering the awesomeness of the item.  

If you would like your own Lego Millennium Falcon head over to the Lego Store you can order one there.

Since I purchased my Wii I have been playing quite a few of the Mario games.  Charles Martinet is the the voice of Mario and numerous other Nintendo characters.  Who would think that the voice of an animated Italian plumber would come from this guy.  

The Force Unleashed is coming to the Wii.  Soon I will be able to wield my very own lightsaber.  I wonder if I will be able to make a Darth Maul double lightsaber by gluing two Wii remotes together.  That would be sweet.

Last year a group of us were at a local Buffalo Wild Wings and we saw a great bottle sitting behind the bar.  One side was red and it said Jekyll.  Next to it was a black bottle that said Hyde.  The bottles nest together to make Jekyll & Hyde.  Of course we had to try it.  They brought over the shots and it was warm.  Didn’t love it but it wasn’t bad.  On a return visit we found out that it should be served cold.  That made a big difference.  Since then I have seen it served in other places but never available at the local liquor store.  That was until a few weeks ago.  A friend found small bottles of it.  I figured if they sell small bottles they have to sell big bottles.  It took some searching but I finally found them.  I guess the test phase is over and Anheuser Busch is starting to make it widely available.  The best part is still the bottles.  If you are wondering about the taste the dark tastes like Jagermesiter and the red tastes like cough syrup.  Mix the two together to unleash the monster.  If you are planning a Halloween party you need to have these.     

I remember seeing him on Mr. Rogers when I was younger. I am not a huge mime fan. They are kind of scary but you have to give credit to one of the masters.

You get drunk and you want to see your lady friend. It is 3:00 am. How do I get in the house? You pull a Santa Claus and try to go down the chimney. Awesome idea. Except that you get stuck. This angers your girlfriend who tells the firefighters to leave him in the chimney and let him die. I guess the love is gone.
