Today is President’s Day. How do I salute great presidents like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln? With a drink of course but not just any drink. A drink fit for the occasion. I drink the El Presidente. You can too. Here is what you need.
2 oz. White Rum
1/2 oz. Orange Curacoa
3/4 oz. Dry Vermouth
1 Dash Grenadine
Pour the ingredients in a shaker over cracked ice. Give it a stir. Strain into a martini glass. Here’s to you Mr. President.
There are rumors buzzing that Disney is going to announce that they are going to build a 5th gate. It is being called Disney’s Night Kingdom (I am guessing that name is going to change) and it is going to be a theme park open at night. Now I am not so sure about this rumor. I have heard it before. Actually, I have heard it a lot. The last time I heard something it was about the reported villain theme park Disney was going to build. According to the article Disney is going to formally announce the new park sometime this year. Time will tell but I am not holding my breath.
Cars that can go underwater are no longer just for spies. The Rinspeed company is testing a Squba car in Silver Springs, Florida. The car is right out of a James Bond movie. It can drive on land, on top of the water and it can submerge 33 feet under water.
There are plenty of ways to open a champagne bottle. You could do it discreetly. Place a bar towel over the top and gently twist the cork out. No big pop but you won’t bruise the champagne. In a celebratory mood? Then go ahead and pop that cork out. Beware of the shooting cork. You don’t want to shoot your eye out. Just won the Super Bowl? Then shake that bad boy up, pop the cork and stand back. That used to be my preferred method. That is until I learned how to open a bottle with a sabre. Nothing says I am a sexy, dangerous, mysterious man more than a sword and a bottle of champagne. The women will be all a quiver when you show them your prowess with a sword and how you can slice through glass.
As a Star Wars fan I find this news very exciting.
A new era of Star Wars entertainment begins in 2008 when Star Wars: The Clone Wars, from creator George Lucas, premieres as an all-new feature film in August, followed by the television series debut in the fall, in a partnership announced today between Lucasfilm Ltd., Warner Bros. Pictures and Turner Broadcasting System Inc.

Just in time for the holidays come Bittersweets. Not everyone is happy and in love on Valentine’s Day. I would guess that most people are sad and lonely. This candy is for those individuals. Why pretend to be happy. Tell people how you really feel.
The Disney Hollywood Studios announced a new attraction today. They have partnered with American Idol and will open up one of the old theatres to people who think they can sing. Contestants sing in front of a casting director and the good ones will move on and get to sing on the stage in front of other people visiting the park. I don’t watch the show and don’t get caught up in what is going on with the contestants but I am sure there will be no shortage of people trying to get on stage to sing. I think this is one new attraction that I will skip.
You are at a bar. You have a hot waitress. You want to impress her but you want to be original. What should you do? Give her a good tip but not just any tip. You take that dollar bill and turn it into a piece or origami art. What lady can resist a man with nimble hands. This book has everything you need to know about the ancient art of folding money.
I have always liked the Narwhal. I have always hated koalas, seals and penguins. I think that is why I love this so much. You can get it at Presents of Mind.
