forest friends log

The forest friends log from The Swiss Colony has been a holiday favorite in my family for many years now. It's a perfectly delicious 8" chocolate cake with swirls of butter creme filling.
Picture an upscale Ho-Ho on Roids.

Hmmm Tasty!

The only downside to this delightful treat is that you have to get over the, "deer in the headlights" look from the little forest friends as they sit trapped behind the cellophane wrapper, staring at you, as they await their demise.

I can almost hear them begging me not to eat them but the temptation is too great to resist.

Happy Turkey Day to all!

Who'd have thunk it'd be dry and sunny on Thanksgiving in Seattle?

Since I moved to the NW 10 years ago I've always wanted to buy one of these living x-mas trees and last weekend I finally broke down and bought one.

It's almost sickening how early the Holidaze start every year and I'm guilty of buying this little Charlie Brown tree nearly a week before Thanksgiving. I couldn't resist it with it's adorable red bow and I plan to re-pot it so that it can continue growing on my balcony.

Business Time

It's about time the first season of Flight of the Conchords was released on dvd. If you haven't seen it yet then I highly suggest that you RUN to your nearest video store and rent both discs immediately or just buy the set because you'll surely watch it more than once. If you're a cheap bastard, you can download it via bittorent or why don't you just rip it to your hard drive and then you can burn it to a dvd. Mass produce it and sell the damn thing on craigslist for $5 a pop. Until then, please enjoy this clip.

The Beer Belly

If you're looking for the perfect gift for that special alcoholic in your life, look no further friends, than the Beerbelly. Here's your chance to sneak your favorite "beverage" of choice into sportin' events and monster truck shows, without the hassle of having to pay those inflated, stadium prices.

Yeah, like no-one is going to figure out that you have a fake gut full of booze when you're sucking on a damn rubber hose that mysteriously appears from underneath your shirt. I also don't quite believe that the dude in the ad is the typical buyer for this product. Sure he looks like your typical douche, ex-frat boy but I think the ideal demographic for the product looks something more like this guy. (sorry to anonymous buddy, I'm sure you're a sweetheart of a guy but a few squat thrusts probably wouldn't hurt)

Oh and ladies, I hope you're not feeling left out because you can own your very own Wine Rack. She's totally hot and check out her Sweet Rack-FULL OF WINE. Now that's my dream girl.
