A few interesting gems of late. or rants.
1. Google has a 411. It will also transfer you FREE of charge! Call 1-800-GOOG-411. No joke. I had much fun with it and the automated voice recognition is top notch, as expected from Google. It understood my FAKE HINDU KWIKIE MART ACCENT! 2,Hagen Dazs has Creme Brulee flavored ice cream. Wow. How did I miss that? http://www.haagen-dazs.com/products/product.aspx?id=221 Moreover, there’s a Hagen Dazs store location in Westwood UCLA. HOW DID I MISS THAT? What’s so damn good about creme brulee anyway that makes it 5 bucks an ounce? 3. Leave it to the Japanese to make bitch beer that absolutely kills all alcohol taste. It’s called Chu-hi, and why I hadn’t tried it in my numerous trips there remains a mystery. http://www.mikegerhardt.com/blog/archives/blogpics/chuhai_grapefruit.jpg Here is a quote from the webpage I get when I hit the "I feel Lucky" button on a google search for Chu-hi: "I must admit that this has become the bain of my existence. I love them so much that I honestly would drink them all the time, but the give me such a buzz that I would just live in a state of drunkeness." XD 4. I frequent a lot of deal-of-the-day websites, such as Woot.com — they are pretty good since if a company sells only one thing the entire day, that one thing better be something good or that company is in quite a bit of trouble. Anyway, there are sometimes random bags of crap or mystery bags with random crap in it. Usually stuff they have in their warehouse they need to rid of or if you’re really lucky something that’s really expensive like a Nintendo Wii or 61" LCD TV. Sometimes, as was the case with my bag, it’s a gag prize. I got this useless crap. Ahahaha, it’s so stupid.
