Well, that's certainly a way to aerate wine, sure... But the violent act releases the volatile aroma compounds (that also enhance flavor) all at once, producing a markedly flatter, blander wine than before.

I hope not :(

Then Scruffy will Be fired.

Mere economics has worked for me. I can't afford to eat the nice meats that I want. Fewer cows die for my tastes, courtesy of low income.

If the Scientists try to take away my descendants' God-given right to ripping ass, I will have to consider Drastic Measures.

I've been cutting back on my red meat intake for years, anyway. As much as I love a good steak, burger, or metric ton of bacon, it's expensive to get good quality meat, and even more expensive to get good quality meat that is guaranteed humanely raised. So I think I have been hovering around the 1 pound per week level…

Almost, almost as good as "santorum."

One Groundhog Day in grad school, I watched Groundhog Day. Then I watched it the next night. And then the next night, too.

These are called pop-up islands, and they appear in a body of water that is currently seeing a lot of Internet hits. They tend to be self-reinforcing obviously, but don't worry, it'll be gone soon, just like the rest of its fleeting geographic species.

"No, no. He's got a point..."

I suspect most of Giz's readership didn't search this garbage (iPhone excepted), but maybe I'm just falling pray to the "I'm/we're not racist" mentality. Maybe Eleanor Roosevelt really is disappoint at us.

Nest doppelgangers must be incinerated en masse. PURGE THE IMPOSTERS.

Yeah, I was going to watch Casablanca on Netflix last night, but realized that so much of the rich, nuanced relationship between Rick and Ilsa would be lost without the proper image and sound clarity. And the humor probably wouldn't have even come through at all.

Totally teehee-d.

Beware the vacuum wine "savers." Pulling even a modest vacuum on wine removes a lot of the volatile compounds responsible for aroma and flavor. If you're serious about keeping your wine palatable after opening, just throw it in the fridge and warm it gently when you want to drink some.

When somebody is misinformed, disinformed, or manipulated, insulting them seems hardly the best way to convince them otherwise.

I spent a week in Iceland after graduating from college. Amazing place. I can't say enough great things about it. Just buy a ticket and go.

Kinda reminds me of one of those ads:
