If you've ever wondered what American-style English sounds like to non-speakers - the actual sound and flow of it, without the content - this Italian "pop song" is probably as close as you're going to get without some sort of terrible brain trauma.

Secret Science Alliance may be sold out on Amazon right now (they're bringing out a 2nd printing, but it probably wn't hit stores till January) but if you need it for Christmas and have a spare $161.84, this guy can hit you up on Ebay! And holy crap, someone on Amazon's trying to get $130.05 for a used copy! Who are these people?
A little late, from this past Halloween. Before we went on our parade, we had some fun drawing labels for this pale ale I had just brewed. I wanted to document them before I scraped them off the bottles. Most of these were drawn by David Mack, Aaron Fu, or the lovely Eleanor Davis.
My cell phone is broken, and now I'm trying to decide its fate. I barely use this thing a couple of times a week. Maybe one of those pay as you go phones? Do you get to keep your number with those?
