Cognoscenti – people who are considered to be especially well informed about a particular subject.
Example. I may not be a marketing genius or part of the music cognoscenti, but I really don’t understand the appeal of the iTunes Music Store 3 for 2 promotion.

On the subject of celebrities who sing, be sure to give a listen to Oakenfold’s Faster Kill Pussycat that features Brittany Murphy.
This techo song is pretty good. Use it as your Power Song for your Nike+iPod sport kit.

I haven’t posted any news about kicks recently, but a lot is going on in the kicks community. Always brewing in the background is information about the latest Air Jordans or retro-ed Air Jordans. Yep, retro Jordans are the “in” thing and have been hot for some time. We’re not talking antediluvian [...]

Sanctimonious – making a show of being morally superior to other people.
Example. Some people have the opinion that private school alumni are cocky, even sanctimonious. Personally, I think not.

Remember that rap group, Digital Underground, from the 90’s? Their hit, The Humpty Dance, rocked the airwaves for some time and as a homage to lead rapper Shock G, aka Humpty Hump, I give you Potato Hump.

Heard Paris Hilton’s new single, Stars Are Blind, on the radio today. An entertaining song with a tropical/reggae feel to it. No lyrical genius or anything like that but still fun for $1.

What kind of craziness is this?!
Installing Windows on a Mac using the Parallels Desktop for Mac. Now that’s just wrong!

Antediluvian – of or belonging to the time before the biblical Flood. Outdated, outmoded, old-fashioned, antiquated, behind the times.
Example. Wayne’s World marveled at the local companies offering free WiFi access. “How very progressive,” he thought, “not antediluvian at all.”

Supplication – a prayer asking God’s help as part of a religious service. A humble request for help from someone in authority.
Example. Rather than relying on his sangfroid during his annual evaluation review, the Tabasco Man took the route of supplication with his manager.
Pictured the Tabasco Man supplicating.

While in the Armpit of Cali, I was reintroduced to the fun of Mr. Potato Head. Since then, I’ve been having some fun building spuds. We even picked up a bucket of Potato Head parts as a starter kit.
Fun!

Genuflect – lower one’s body briefly by bending one knee to the ground, typically in worship or as a sign of respect.
Example: After hearing of Takeru Kobayashi’s sixth straight victory at the International Hot Dog Eating Contest, the Tabasco Man genuflected and became motivated to participate in our own Eating Contest.

Heard a new dessert shop, La Palme Dor Patisserie, opened up next to Shirokiya in Ala Moana Center. Finding it was tricky since it’s facing the parking lot along with a few other small stores.
The store is nicely decorated and the treats look great in the glass case. So many varieties, and the [...]
