bartending 101 and bartending -101

The 5 steps to bartending. I think this song is Italian, but I am unsure. Yes, I know the text is English. Smartass

And here's a really good example of what not to do when you're tending bar. You're not in Cirque du Soleil, dammit; I only asked for a Jack Manhattan!

useless facts: perfect for looking as if you’re actually working!

Via Fark. A collection of 371 useless facts and, surprisingly, the ones I've bothered to verify (ie the ones I know off the top of my head) are actually correct!

  1. Al Capone's business card said he was a used furniture dealer.
  2. The characters Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street were named after Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver in Frank Capra's "Its A Wonderful Life."
  3. It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. (DON'T try this at home!) [actually raincoaster can keep her right eye open. It's a long story]
  4. The giant squid has the largest eyes in the world.
  5. In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.
  6. The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.
  7. Mr. Rogers is an ordained minister.

Well okay, Mr. Rogers is dead. But it's not like he was defrocked or anything. Or even decardiganed.

Operation Global Media Domination: Operation Deflation

TIAYou know you've entered the insane levels of the No Green M&Ms Concert Rider/spending most of the party in the bathroom with Nicole and Lindz celebutasticism when you check your stats at ten in the morning and are crushed – CRUSHED – to see you're only at 498 hits so far. And only #50 in the top 100 blogs on WordPress.

CRUSHED, I say!

 Meaning. Yeah, the meaning of all this is that cool science trumps sports, ourdoorsiness, and sex. At least, for those who spend their lives online; but is this exactly news?

Operation Global Media Domination: STFU

TIASo yesterday my power goes out at 2pm, just as I am seeding the Bullshit Jobs post with lovely linkies. It's still out. So, for yesterday raincoaster had precisely one, count 'em, ONE post.

And the record for the highest number of hits in one day.

So, let me see if I get this: unless I am posting about Michael Sandecki and Clay Aiken, Mentos and Diet Coke, or Orgasm Videos, you basically don't want to hear from me. Okay, fine. Be that way. See if I care.

Just you wait, your rejection will turn me back towards the Squid. You'll be sorry.

The Ice Storm: Quebec, 1998

From tigressemimi

I made this video with Windows movie maker. This video is a presentation of photos pulled by the album of the ice storm of quebec in 1998. This storm was terrible. We must be evacuated because it was too much cold and too dangerous. We did not have electricity anymore and all the shops were closed. The food became rare. I remember that we had to put our food to the garbage because the fridge and the freezer did not work any more. It was the hell. it fell 100 mm of ice there. To show you the extent of damages, here is some figures:

700 municipalities affected

up to 7,000 cords of wood distributed each day (firewood)

more than 60,000 meals a day served in shelters

more than 16,000 wooden poles damaged

approximately 3,312,600 litres of milk discarded

more than 3,000 pylons downed or irreparably damaged

telephone service cut off to more than 158,500 customers

approximately 1.7 million hectares of forest damaged

so you understand now what i say… but one thing was very nice… SCHOOL WAS CLOSED lol please leave your comment i'll be very happy ^^
