Pigdog Disco Jackets of the Future!!
1999-07-12 05:22:58
Spock Mountain Research Labs' crack team of hillbilly scientists was given a very special assignment to "test-drive" a crazy new technology that only we could handle. Each volunteer was issued a lab coat OF THE FUTURE and sent out to party like it was 1999!
Xerox PARC thinks they are so fancy shmancy with their fancy new Digital Paper, but can you wear it?? Does it glow in the dark? Is it good for late night rock till you drop dance parties??! Of course not.
But, thanks to the good people at Cambridge Display Technology this will ALL BE POSSIBLE!! They have developed the Plastic of the Future for the Bad People of the Future!!! Fabulous!!
Soon they will be able to make all kinds of cool shit, cheap. Video phones, roll-up computer screens, blah, blah, and most importantly, CLOTHES. My favorite clothing idea is the special camouflage wear. You could put your special "I don't want to deal with people" jumpsuit on, hook up your battery pack and sit back while your suit generates an image of your surroundings perfectly blending you into the background.
Okay, maybe that wont work, but just think of the fashion choices!
And, just in case you thought it couldn't get any crazier, the inventors were able to start their company with the backing of the rock band GENESIS!
The best part of all this is that Hillbilly Scientists were sent out for all-night RAVE CRAZINESS!! (As you can see in the groovy picture!!!)

Many Americans have learned to appreciate the delicate, sophisticated flavors of Japanese food and drink, along with the beautifully refined rituals of Japanese dining. San Francisco, as a gateway between East and West, has especially benefited from the flowering of Eastern consciousness in America.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
