Not really, but it is called a “pasa montañas” or ‘mountain passer’ but to me it is a funny one of a kind tourist item for sale at this alpaca store in Arequipa Peru.  That is me wearing it and I regret not buying it since it was relatively cheap.  I still don’t really know why it makes me laugh.  If you are considering holding up your local cornerstore or yoga studio, I advise you do it in style and wear this mask. That white thin handlebar mustache pattern and rainbow head should allow you to get away with anything.

 During my visit to Peru, I could not help a quick chuckle when my grandmother offered me some tea and slapped a box of Hornimans on the table.  She kept asking why it was funny to me which is something you don’t want to explain to your cute little Peruvian grandmother.

Could this be one source of Peru’s obsession with sex and machismo?  Besides those little Guacos de Mochica which  are very revealing that is.

“Like any well-executed satire, The Tender Morsels captures a niche genre of rock, one where The Wiggles might be seen as competition. But they’re not. As any newly minted parent of an infant knows (and is reminded of every single night on repeat), The Wiggles play for kids and are also WAY more famous.“

Jeff also produced “I Slammed My Dick in the Drawer”,  a viral video that was screened at SXSW this year.  the rest of the cast I do not know personally but apparently are hilarious .. enjoy The Wiggles:

As the escalator lowered me down to two levels underneath the Marriot  where the fest was hosted, I was welcomed by the calm waft of fine malt whiskey and scotch scents – appropriate.  I received my tasting glass and my smile multiplied when I entered the largest whisky congregation in the entire planet, at that very moment at least.  After taking my first shot, the server prompted me to Tweet the following:

Let’s just make a long story short and say that “it was fun.”  All you need to know is that Glenrothes Special Reserve Single Malt Whisky won my vote as the best whisky of the night.  Here is a Flickr slideshow with some comments, or at least the ones I remember from the night.  Enjoy.

My least favorite holiday of all time is coming up. Valentines Day! Boo. I am one of those Valentine day haters, along with a few others. I was offered to dj an Anti-Valentines Drink the pain away party at the Argus Lounge, located at 3187 Mission St at Valencia in the lovely city of San Francisco of course. My Dj Buddies:Tau G and Saiman will be sharing the decks with me.  $4 Fernet Shots!!!

The music? Hateful love songs a la techno electro booty shake redemption. Yes. I should have started the promotion like three weeks ago, but like I said, bad women and hard work. To those girls out there who have been kicking my heart around like Diego Maradona kicks a soccer ball lately, I dedicate this to you. ha ha ha ha haaaaaa.

I will be back with more quirks, news, and ridiculous opinions soon. My day job has been squeezing every drop of my time. I woke up this morning dreaming about funnel pages, user experience and email subject lines. The first word I said this morning coming out of a deep dream was “conversion.” Yes folks, that is how crazy I am becoming. Marketing to your minds.
I will be attending one of my other favorite Anti Valentines day events in San Francisco earlier in the night however. The massive pillow fight. Here is a video from last years Valentines day pillow fight extraordinaire:

Tasteless joke, or marketing genius?

Redux Beverages LLC, from Las Vegas, is the same company that delivered us “Cocaine” energy drink, a product that was pulled off the shelves for FDA violations regarding its name. The brainchild behind these edgy-branded direct marketing schemes is a man with an impressive and respectable resume named Clegg Ivey. One day he just though it would be cool to name a soft drink “Cocaine.” Brawndo’s contents by the way: 200 milligrams of Caffeine, Taurine, Inositol, Guarana, and of course Electrolyes – no high fructose or corn sugar (huh?).

The hands that shook in order to make this deal happen include Omni Consumer Products Corporation, whose company slogan is: “We do what we must, because we can.” In other words, “we will b-slap you with our slogan if you front – and name our soft drink ‘Cocaine’, because we must.” Their website is suspiciously void of much information.

I lean towards marketing genius. Check out their shopping cart website which allows you to also join Brawndo on Facebook and MySpace. The underground buzz created by this movie, and now this drink are making people attempt Brawndo diets and blogging the experience. If Brawndo becomes the next Coke, we are headed one step closer to Mike Judge’s vision of the future.

“We have proved our world-class ability in cloning animals that have modified characteristics,” said Kong. “We found that the red fluorescent protein in all the organs of the dead kitten, which means we have established an efficient way of cloning gene-modified cats.’‘

Eventually owning this sleeping bag should should pay off big in someway or another. Give shelter to a homeless person, assist in an emergency child birth, or meet a future wife this way. This sleeping bag could easily fit a small family. Here is the testament.

Am I exaggerating? Is this not a Big ASS Sleeping bag??

We found it rather amusing. I cared enough to show you.

I wonder what else was going through the person’s mind who overlooked this.

The last man/woman in charge of making sure these specific mistakes don’t happen that is.
