Holiday Gift Guide: Flavored Lip Balm
Original flavor? Boring. Strawberry? Meh. Spearmint? That’s so banal. Cherry? Sophomoric like Katy Perry when it comes to lip balm flavors. When you need a stocking stuffer that’s different, gift these flavored lip balm!

That’s Some Hip Wine
Came across this wine the other day, and the hip hop graffiti label caught my eye. Typically, wine bottle designs are more conservative so this one stood out.
Checking the back label, this wine has a QR code along with the link to its Facebook page. That’s some hip wine.
I Can Has Schweddy Balls
I can now cross it off my To Do list. Yes, I have tasted Schweddy Balls.
This test ice cream flavor has been available at Ben & Jerry’s in Windward Mall for some time, but I never had the opportunity to sample the sweetness. So what do Schweddy Balls taste like? Kinda like vanilla. The rum balls are naughtily good but then the malt balls are confusing. Nibbling into the balls, you expect the tinge of rum. But then you get a airy rice crispy-like malt ball, and you’re like, “Whoa, what’s this?”
I’m guessing that the Schweddy Balls will be a limited run that won’t endure. So if you want to sample Schweddy Balls, my suggestion is to taste them sooner rather than later.
Where’s Your Jasmine Trias CD?
Random thought of the day. Where is your Jasmine Trias CD?
Mine was in the glove box in the family van. Got this back in 2005 after Jasmine’s run on American Idol. Wonder if it got any play at Club 939?
Is It That Bad?
Wow, is the movie Jennifer’s Body starring Megan Fox that bad? Right now, the DVD version is a Lightning Deal on Amazon, going for 90% off! So you end up paying $1.99, and still the deal isn’t sold out yet. Must be real bad.
Is That All Legos?
Wow, are all of these Star Wars replicas constructed purely using Lego bricks? If so, that’s very impressive work and also very costly for that many pieces!
Holiday Gift Guide: Flawed Angels Shirts
Oh, those angels from Victoria’s Secrets. They are not infallible, nor are they sports fans of the Big 10 conference. If finding the elusive APEC aloha shirts is too tough, you might want to search for this mistake.
See this Michigan State Spartans-themed shirt produced by Victoria’s Secrets? Color’s right, emblem’s correct, but the motto “Hail to the Victors,” well that ain’t right. That saying belongs to rival University of Michigan Wolverines.
I guess angels can make mistakes.
“D’you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?”
Remember that line from the movie Jerry Maguire? Remember that adorable kid who stated that line? Yup, that would be Jonathan Lipnicki, but he ain’t 5 years old any more.
What’s a Photo Consent Form?
So you take professional pictures at a portrait studio, and you want to use one of these shots for a Christmas card. Can you design a card using one of these pictures and mass produce them at Costco?
Supposedly yes, if you get the release and photo consent forms from the portrait studio (by purchasing the portrait). But what does a typical consent form look like? I don’t think it’s an .ini file on a burned CD that contains the image. But that’s what we’re being told is the consent form. I’m no Microsoft Windows expert, but don’t .ini files contain configuration settings for apps? Using a text editor, the .ini file looks like a typical “innie” file with a bunch of parameters and their values.
I’ll see what happens when I take a print out of this .ini file (as instructed by the portrait studio) to Costco to authorize the release of our Christmas cards. Maybe Costco won’t even check? I’m not sure how this works, but I’ll find out soon enough.
Holiday Gift Guide: APEC Aloha Shirts
What do you get that Hawaii businessman who only wears “Aloha crisp” attire? This Holiday season, you need to find one of these rare (and unworn) Tori Richard aloha shirts. Only 21 of these were hand made, specifically given to the 21 heads of state who attended APEC 2011.
The shirt design features elements unique to Hawaii like the hibiscus, honu, and a tapa pattern, and President Barack Obama’s signature adorns the shirt’s tag.
Designer Tori Richard, Ltd has stated that they will not be making this shirt available for sale, guaranteeing the specialness of this aloha shirt.
