Three Wolf Moon T-shirt goes uber viral
Sales of the “Three Wolf Moon Shirt” are up 2300% after word got out that it was getting priceless customer reviews on Amazon. Hundreds of reviewers are vying to be the funniest.You gotta read some of these.
It gets better from there. The manufacturer is not exactly pleased with the reviews. Link
Also check out the hilarious reviews of Tuscan Whole Milk (new and used from $199.99) there are 1050 of reviews for viewing enjoyment. Some of them are practically novel in length."I thought I'd save a little money on this product so I clicked on the 'Order it used' button. Boy, was that a mistake! When new, this product is just fine. When used, it's almost undrinkable.
So, if you're in the market for Whole Milk, heed my advice, buy new"
"I write to you to express the joy in the depth of my heart for this product. Having lost my leg in a terrible aquarium accident I was left a cripple whose only pleasure came from thai ladyboys dressed like richard nixon. But now through the miracle of Tucson milk I am able to live like a man again. So great was its ability to strengthen bone that my missing left leg has grown back (well just the bone) and I am able to once again statisfy a woman. No more shall those poor boys have to suffer saying 'I am not a crook' while dressed in satin."

Strasburg tosses 17 K no-hitter; Boras to Nats: 'Mwahahaha'
If you haven't heard about this kid.... you will.In the final home start of his ridiculous collegiate career, San Diego State junior Stephen Strasburg threw a 17-strikeout no-hitter against Air Force. The 20-year-old is now 11-0 for the Aztecs, with an obscene 164 Ks in 87.1 innings. He leads all amateur pitchers in hype, earning potential, and 103 mph fastballs. Strasburg has a 23-strikeout game to his credit, too.

I would like to eat there, but I'm not sure if I like my food "messed with" that much.

Costly Consumption: 10 Incomprehensibly Expensive Cognacs
Loves it!"To bear the name “cognac”, this 300-year-old spirit must be produced from a specific blend of grapes, distilled twice in copper stills and then aged for at least two years in French oak casks– and that’s just for the cheap stuff. "
I must be a Cowboy!

Why ask why?
The L.A. Times tries to figure out why the internet loves bacon."I said bacon in my tweet and now denny's is following me," wrote the Twitter user who goes by the name DJ Divine.
It's hard to believe that @DennysGrandSlam is following every person who mentions bacon. But the number of users the account is following is indeed growing quite rapidly.

It's meat bracket time!
My new favorite "food dude" Owen Morris, from the Pitch, posted this "choice" article about meat brackets. Meat vs. Meat. Everyone wins.So Good blog has "Meat Madness".
ESPN and New York Times contributor Paul Lukas revealed his 64-meat match-up.
Lukas' bracket is here. His final four is whack! Bratwust and hotdogs beat out salami and italian sausage? I don't think so pal. And WTF Is a chicken tail?
I love these quotes from his article.
"Sorry fancy pants, but the filet is like the Knicks -- mushy and expensive."
"If you don't like sausage then you probably don't like America or freedom either."
"... and on the eighth day, God created salami."
Great job Owen.
Wednesday
Cured meats.... I love you.
This place is just insane. I'll take two of everything. It's run by Mario Batali's folks and they don't mess around when it comes to curing the meat. Why can't someone open a place like this in KC?

"Writer Michael Pollan, author of the best-seller “In Defense of Food,” has gained a passionate following by encouraging us to change the way we think about food. But for his next project, he wants your help."I like this food rule, “Don’t eat at any restaurant of which there is more than just one” .
Stay away Ray.
I guess our 3 local Chefs that are up for James Beard Awards couldn't catch Rachel's eye.I really dig this Leftover section in the pitch. Congratulations Owen Morris.
