Immortality Rings do not improve your singing voice

Posted on January 18, 2012 By Liquid Egg Product 10 Comments on Immortality Rings do not improve your singing voice
Burning Agony, Snake Oil

We haven’t talked much about Alex Chiu recently…probably because we’ve exhausted most of what could be talked about.

I did run across this clip of him (allegedly) singing. The resolution is bad, so it could be some kind of imposter.

Health care and hyperbole

Posted on March 27, 2010 By Liquid Egg Product 17 Comments on Health care and hyperbole
In the News, Snake Oil

So the government wants to provide universal health care, and all of a sudden, we’re going to turn into the USSR.

News flash: all advanced countries combine elements of capitalism and socialism. Yes, even the USA (see Social Security, Medicare, etc.) But based the Right’s histrionics, you’d think they’d just voted on rescinding The Bill of Rights.

Look, I’m not smart or knowledgeable enough to know all the effects of this bill. I honestly don’t have a strong opinion on whether it will be a net positive. But I am smart enough to know this health care bill will neither turn the US communist…nor is a panacea for all our ills.


Presumably this ad is supposed to make John McCain “look” evil, but this guy JD Hayworth is much more frightening.

Feel like Zeus

feel like zeus

I tried this stuff. I still don’t feel like Zeus. Or, if I do feel like him, being the king of gods is seriously overrated.

The tea isn’t bad, however.

This Van Jones stuff

Posted on September 5, 2009 By Liquid Egg Product 3 Comments on This Van Jones stuff
In the News, Snake Oil

“You’ve never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, ‘We can’t believe it happened here. We can’t believe it’s these suburban white kids.’ It’s only them.”

A black man said this. What do you think? I think if you’re someone like Matt Drudge, who has an audience sensitive to racism against whites, you’d take the quote out of context and present it as part of a wider controversy about this person. (Never mind whether the statement is true.)

Here is what the black man, Van Jones, said back in 2005.

All of a sudden, it does not sound so bad.

I don’t know whether Mr. Jones can be vindicated of all silliness, so time to do some research. Wish me luck as I try to distinguish between truth and exaggeration from right-wing sources while figuring out the left-wing has to say about him.

Don’t do this

Posted on November 13, 2008 By Liquid Egg Product 19 Comments on Don’t do this
In the News, Snake Oil

The closest thing I have to a phobia is to voluntary self-starvation. I can’t interact with an axorexic in any sort of normal fashion very long, and even TV programs or articles will throw me off-balance. It takes me several readings to finish stories dealing with voluntary self-starvation. Yet the subject’s like a moth to a flame for me, and invariably find it interesting. Like this story about a diet called LighterLife. You get 500 calories a day. That’s it.

The rapid weight loss is not arguable, but there’ve been stories of severe side effects, including vision problems, rotten teeth, and death. One lady’s death has been attributed to a weakened heart due to lack of protein.

Obama Be Thy Name

Posted on October 30, 2008 By Liquid Egg Product 6 Comments on Obama Be Thy Name
In the News, Snake Oil

There are two reasons I’m voting for neither Obama nor McCain:

1. I forgot to request an absentee ballot on time. And since I’m not on welfare, ACORN won’t try to submit my request illegally.
2. I have no clue how the two frontrunners will really tackle this country’s problems. Their “solutions” cost money the government doesn’t have.

Here’s an article: Obama’s prime-time ad skips over budget realities

The article mentions that Obama’s programs would run the deficit to $1 trillion dollars. McCain’s not immune to similar criticism. As Congressmen, you’d think they understand they can’t keep their promises without consequence *cough*raisetaxesand/orcutotherspendingand/orprintmassivemoneyfurtherdevaluingthedollar*cough*. Well, I’m sure they do, but they can’t write winning ads or speeches based on that.

A million praises to l3rucewayne for this find. The name of the song is “Obama Be Thy Name”, and no, it’s not even mocking Obama. I like afro-pop and reggae, but man, those lyrics…

Perceiving Life

Posted on July 23, 2008 By Liquid Egg Product 5 Comments on Perceiving Life
Snake Oil

When I was 5, I never even thought about getting to 10.
When I was 10, 15 was inconceivably distant.
When I was 15, 20 represented a new era.
When I was 20, 25 was a modest journey.
When I was 25, 29 was right around the corner.
When I was 29, it didn’t matter. I’d get to 290 because I bought a pair of Alex Chiu’s immortality rings.

(Yes, I’m finally preparing to do that interview with him. And I really just bought a pair.)

I am so glad I don’t bet on sports.

Speak for yourself.

Wahrheit went 4-0.

I still can’t believe you told people we could win them money last week. Now everyone can see you can’t make good judgments. You’re the kind of guy that would choose Velma over Daphne. We can’t trust someone like that.

Whuh? You mean from Scooby Doo?

Yar, if someone asked you which one you’d rather date, and for normal people (ie, not you) Velma’s just too, well, ugly.

Look, this blog is weird enough without getting into conversations about which cartoon characters are cuter.

I like that Esurance chick.

OK, fine! You’re a cartoon, it makes sense for you! It doesn’t for me!

*Sigh* I guess you’re going to want my picks for next week?

By tomorrow night, if you can.

As long as you don’t lord it over me if I go 0-4 next week.

Sure thing.

You really wouldn’t choose Velma, would you?

Er…yeah…probably I would.

Seriously? *Blanches* OK, that makes things easy…my picks for next week are the opposite of yours.
