What happens when you attempt to recreate the climactic scene of The Road Warrior without warning the police? Why, you get arrested of course. I wonder if their merchandise page will be updated with an “I was arrested at Roadwar 151″ tshirt.

They should have just made a pilgramage to Broken Hill like any normal fan would.

Google Sightseeing. I really like their layout.

I coubt that Slanty.Net is included in there, but if you’re curious.

Originals can be found here.

Mark Bittmann (never heard of him before myself, maybe food lovers south of the border??) will be in another cooking show series where he cooks “home style cooking, like mom would make” to compare against dishes made by top chefs.

One of the points that Mark has to make is that cooking is a bit of a cost/benefit thing — ultimately, you might choose to spend your Sunday afternoon with your family rather than spending it making a 10/10 meal.

Seems that he’s on good terms with many of the chefs, people that he’s covered “on his beat” for many years, which leads to witty banter such as:

When Jean-Georges watched me mangle a shallot, he said, “That’s not mincing, it’s hacking. When you write a recipe, do you put in ’1 shallot, roughly hacked’?” When he saw me trying to debone a Cornish hen, he grabbed it from me, saying, “Let me put you and that poor bird out of your misery.”

You’d think momentum would win, but somehow, my body is trying to convince me that its easier to walk to Tim Hortons to get a donut than it is to eat this apple that’s right at my desk.

Man, I’d love to understand the convoluted logic that my stomach uses.

Hitachi spent a fortune on their new ad campaign.

In addition, this is the best movie trailer I’ve seen in a long time…The 7 foot smoking man will always be in my head now.

We were once going to do a challenge like this.. had I known about the beer mile we could have got our event sanctioned…

Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.
