Big Stills! Weehaw!

I have never been a big proponent of e-commerce in any way, shape or form. OK, well, actually, I like buying gray-market drugs on the Internet. And cyberporn. But besides, that, e-commerce blows. At least, that's what I thought until I saw StillLife.com. COOLIO BOOZE STILLS!
If you've ever tried you know that it's actually really, really a big pain in the keester to put together your own distilling equipment. Not that I've tried, because that would be wrong, but I've HEARD that it's hard. So I was surprised when I found this here StillLife.com. It has a great kit with all the doodads you need to MAKE YER OWN HOOCH in the comfort of your home. How cool is that?
The really crazy part is that you could use their still-thingy to make GASOHOL or even ROCKET FUEL. OK, I don't know about that rocket fuel part, but isn't that a good idea?! Everything comes with crazy instructions and they even have a big ass book about making yer own shine. The coolest part about the site is the Y2K section, just in case you're afraid civilization is going to collapse 12 days ago. If civilization collapsed, wouldn't you have a mighty hankerin' for some WHITE LIGHTNING? I know I would.
Big caveat here: it's highly illegal to make your own booze at home. Neither Mr. Bad nor Pigdog Journal advocate this activity. BUT, according to stilllife.com, "it is definitely NOT illegal to KNOW how to do it!" So go do some research, check out stilllife.com, and tell em Pigdog sent you. Actually, don't tell them that. You don't know us. But, uh, dibs on some of your first batch.

WKRP in Cincinnati aired from 1978 through 1982. Howard Hesseman played Dr. Johnny Fever, a DJ from Los Angeles who was fired from his previous job for saying the word "booger" on the air. In the show Hesseman would do some dialogue, introduce a song, and start the song. You'd hear a few notes, but never the whole song. (More...)

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)
It’s election night. My wife and I are holed-up in this hotel that my political party has rented out for the evening. Outside, people are being violently beaten for whom they voted for. Is this South Africa? Perhaps we’re in Haiti or some Southern state during the 60’s. Of all the places where this sort of thing happens, it’s mind-boggling that we are in Portland, Maine. (More...)
The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)
