Food porn: literally
2009-09-11 23:07:00 We're all friends here, right? Good. Okay, so forget what I said in that last post about the top cookbook fails. Friend of ChicagoNow, Gordon McAlpin, has just pointed us to the cookbook fail of the universe. Ready? Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes. I am not making this up.The book description includes the following phrase, which, to the chagrin of my coworkers, I found absolutely hilarious and worthy of reading aloud: "Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants."Betcha some jerk off wrote it....
Chicago Blows...Literally.
2009-08-18 15:21:00 For those of you new to town, Chicago is named The Windy City, not because of the wind, but because of the long winded politicians. As a matter of fact, the average wind speed in Chicago is only 10 mph, as opposed to Dodge City, Kansas that blows at a consistent AVERAGE 14 mph. Here's the rub, they (national weather service/data keepers) measure that wind speed at the airport, which is a far cry from Lake Shore Drive and the path that many of us train on. Amy Freeze (coolest name in TV) Chief Meteorologist for Fox Chicago is one of the athletes who puts in the miles on Lake Shore Drive (anyone who uses LSD should return to Iowa)...

At your fingertips, literally
2009-06-22 11:30:00 I just bought a Roberts Stream 202 Internet, DAB and FM radio for the office, not the bedroom. Why? Because sometimes it’s good to touch things. I sit at my PC for most of the day, and it has a good sound card and a decent set of 2.1 stereo speakers. I can of course receive any freely available Internet radio station, which basically means every national station that broadcasts digitally (ie: most, if not all DAB stations also broadcast online). So why pay over the odds for a radio that can’t do everything your computer can? The answer’s simple. When I get up and stumble into the living room where I have my office setup, the first thing I want to do is fill the silence. What I don’t want to do is wait for my PC to boot up, login, open up iTunes and select some music or head over to an online station for a listen, click the link and wait for the player to open. Having a computer that can do everything, doesn’t mean it has to do everything. Plus, what fe...
Offense Goes South, Literally
2009-05-21 22:56:00 The Giants just can't seem to figure out Petco Park in 2009. After getting swept their in mid-April, the Giants look like they're ready to repeat that outcome after only scoring 2 runs in the first 2 games in San Diego and dropping their record to 0-5 in San Diego this season.The Giants offense has once again hit a cold stretch, and when this happens, it can get very frustrating. Nobody expected this team to be a power-house at the plate, but they showed throughout the first half of this month (albeit vs. some lesser pitching) that their offense could score enough to support their starting pitchers, but the Southern California air has sent the team into a semi-meltdown once again. It's prompted Bruce Bochy to do some things differently though, as he put Aaron Rowand up at the top of the order in the lead-off spot for the first time in his Giants-tenure. Rowand is a guy who has been on a steep slide since the opening week of season. In that first week Rowand hit 2 home runs and dr...
Freddie Mac CFO Hangs Himself…. Literally
2009-04-22 17:05:00 VIENNA, Va. -(WTOP)- David Kellermann, acting chief financial officer of Freddie Mac, committed suicide in his Hunter Mill Estates home Wednesday morning. He hanged himself. Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Mary Anne Jennings tells WTOP police responded to the Kellermann home after family members called police at 4:48 a.m. “We were called from inside the house to come investigate an apparent suicide,” Jennings says. “We’re not going to give you details of the condition of the body, except to say it was an apparent suicide.” OK, perhaps a bit early to speculate, here. It may well have been something totally unrelated to his job. And I may well be winning the lottery, or struck by lightning. I place the chances of these at about par with each other. So, we’ll just sit back and wait for the other shoe to drop, since it clearly will, and soon. Â Update:(Bit) About 30 seconds after I snarked on Twitter: “Ron Brown, call your office” I noti...

You’re Literally Like My Musical Soulmate
2009-02-26 12:00:00 Romantic comedies typically get a bad rap because most of them are geared totally towards the female persuasion, not caring that they are alienating half the population in the process. Then there are the few romantic comedies that manage to get both sides of the sex’s right and that is the case in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Michael Cera (Arrested Development) is the Nick in the title living out a younger version of Jon Favereau in Swingers after girlfriend, the unlikeable Alexis Dziena (Invasion), but not in a good way, dumps him and he is still calling and making mix tapes a month later. But instead of an obsession with swing music Nick is in a gay-homosexual band (despite being into chicks).Norah, played by Kat Dennings (The House Bunny) manages to be snarky and likeable when she happens to get Nick to pretend to be her boyfriend to prove to Dziena (they go to the same all girls school complete with uniforms) that she has one not know that Nick was the Nick that ke...

Brontë Attic (Literally)
2008-05-06 00:05:00 This is something that we have discovered through the YouTube search on our sidebar. Sometimes it is really Brontë related, sometimes not (you'll never imagine the amount of Brontë-named children recorded by their fathers or the huge number of Brontë singers around), and sometimes it is really something (very) weird. When we came across this video we had to double check it to convince us it was not a joke. It's hard to believe but there is a Malaysian company named Bronte Attic and... well, they build... attics. As far as we know there's no knowing if a madwoman comes with the contract:BRONTE Attic No 34B, Jalan TK 1/11A, Taman Kinrara Seksyen 1, Puchong 47100 Selangor, Malaysia.

Taking the Replacements Too Literally
2008-04-23 18:22:00 It's too bad I used the riff on "Beer for Breakfast" the other day. I woke up this morning with a horribly dry mouth, rolled over, got the half-filled glass of water from my nightstand, and took a big swig only to find out that it wasn't last night's water but the remnants of last night's beer. Ggggggggacccccck. I love beer but the last thing I wanted at 7:30 a.m. was stale Longhammer IPA. It took considerable work to get that taste out of my mouth.The Avalanche are on to round two against the official team of evil, so it's time for another jersey. The Ales Pisa jersey brought good luck to the world once, so it goes back up, as does my newest acquisition:There's only two jerseys in my collection that aren't from Czech or Slovak players -- the previously-mentioned Polish Olympic jersey and this one.

Referees Literally Stab the 76ers in the Back Against Cleveland
2008-04-15 19:59:00 Ok since I have moderately calmed down from last night I feel more capable of talking about that game without all the vulgarities. The score was 90-89 when the buzzer sounded and the Wachovia Center was more than electric. It was down right thunderous after the 76ers triumphant 12-point comeback to keep their 6th seed playoff hopes alive. That is until the fans began to file out of the gym and the Sixers turned their backs and headed to the locker room to celebrate. Then a crime began to unfold. A basketball murder if you will. They killed our hopes to avoid the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the playoffs. While the entire 76er team was in the locker room, Cavs Coach Mike Brown was pleading with the officials to take a look at the replay to determine if a foul was committed before the buzzer sounded. My first thought was, "Is that reviewable?" The answer is yes:

Blog as Community Newspaper (literally)
2008-04-07 11:01:00 Perusing this list of the neighborhood newspapers in the San Francisco Bay Area makes me wonder how they survive on the merchant advertising revenue model minus the printing and distribution costs. Now their online equivalents are called hyperlocal news, and Techcrunch of all places alerts me to a formula for a blog-to-print paper business model.A New Zealand based company called ZetaPrints has automated the "blogpaper" - they cite their case study Flying Pickle as a successful example of how to repurpose a blog for print distribution and attract local advertising as a commercial venture. Flying Pickle was set up as a non-profit community blog without editorial bias to reach a set of communities of 6,500 people. The content is simply a business directory, community events listing and blog posts.The case study promotes the idea that the print copy (literally a one page flyer) has been key to Flying Pickle gaining community recognition. The lessons and challenges are interesting:We id...

It clocked in at 14.5% alcohol by volume, had a real cork closure, and can be purchased from WineQ for $25.99.--heat had to blow offI would suggest opening this bottle a half hour or so before you want to drink it, it needed to open up just a touch before I really got the full aroma and flavor from it.On the nose the wine showed perfumed spices, lavendar, rosemary, other spice, earth, dark cherries, and blackberries. The nose had a floral characteristic and lots of fruit came shining through. I thought the aroma was really complex and layered for a Zinfandel, in addition to being quite enticing; it made me want to jump right in. The mouth followed through on the nose, complex and layered, the flavors kept coming. I found black cherry, blackberries, chocolate, spice, earth, le...

Break A Man's XBOX, Pay With Your Life (Literally)
2008-03-26 21:58:00 PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A man who killed his 17 month-old daughter in a rage over a broken Xbox has been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. Philadelphia prosecutors say 27 year-old Tyrone Spellman killed Alayiah Turman in September 2006 with at least five blows to the head when she pulled down his Xbox console. The force of the blows cracked the toddler's skull. Spellman was convicted in January of third-degree murder and child endangerment. He was sentenced Thursday, March 13, 2008, to the maximum 22½ to 45 years in prison. (full story)I can't believe he's going to jail for this!

Selling China Stocks Short -- Literally
2008-03-15 20:59:00 Interesting post on the Seeking Alpha blog, by Steve Christ, entitled, "Why It's Not Too Late to Short China." Grossly simplified, it says inflation is doing in China's economy and it is not too late to profit from this by shorting China stocks. The way to short China stocks is to buy the UltraShort FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Proshare ETF, listed on the AMEX exchange under the symbol FXP, which has done very well indeed over the last few weeks. Interesting idea. What do you think? Full disclosure: I have no position in this fund, but I am seriously thinking of getting one.
