Not only am I a fan of single malt scotch, I’m also a fan of creative design.  The Highland Park 50 Year Old (£10,500; roughly $16,800) takes both of these to a whole new level.  Sparing no expense for this anniversary edition, it arrives in a hand-carved oak box with Sterling silver portholes to give you a glimpse of it’s unique handmade bottle inside.  The bottle is encased in an intricate weave of Sterling silver protecting that precious mahogany colored whiskey, rich and spicy tannins… alright, I’m starting to drool.

They only made 275 bottles of fine drink so if you’ve got a ridiculous amount of money you should grab one of these before they’re gone…. or get one for me.  More pictures after the jump.

Bottled at 44.8% abv, Highland Park 50 year old is a vatting of five refill oak casks distilled in 1960. Its natural mahogany colour, rich and spicy tannins, and muscovado sugar flavours makes this Highland Park single malt an exceptionally fine whisky that builds on the world-class reputation of its award-winning distillery.

  • Country: Scotland
  • Region: Orkney
  • Style:Single Malt
  • Age: 50 Year Old
  • Alcohol: 44.8%
  • Bottle size: 70cl

I love this prank.  I used to work in maintenance doing this same kind of thing and never had this idea…but I wish I had.

I had a friend send this to me earlier today and I had to post it up here.  I wasn’t sure what to make of this video at first but after a couple minutes I actually started to enjoy it.  Must be Christmas or something.  I don’t know what Gylne Tider means but it seems to be a Nordic TV thing.  That’s as much research as I was willing to do.

This video is filled with celebrities of today and yesterday.  It’s like playing where are they now except they are all in this video.  My person favorties are Carlton from “Fresh Prince”, Ted Bundy from “Married with Children”, Dolph Lundgren from “Rocky IV” and Lou Ferrigno from “Hulken”.  Fab Forvan is in it from Milli Vinilli but he’s just lip synching. Enjoy!

Quite well I might add…  We all love those Old Spice commercials with Isaiah Mustafa showing our ladies what a man should be like.  Well, Page 3 gives their take on it featuring the beautiful Rosie Jones to show us what a woman should be like.

Check out the video after the break for your weekend eye-candy…

I came across this video at Reason.tv and thought it aptly showed how the political process has gotten BETTER in American and NOT worse.  Each election cycle you hear many people say that this is the worst ever, and then the next cycle it’s the worst ever.  Believe me…it’s not.  I’ve worked in it.  I have done these ads.  I have done opposition research.  I’ve been that guy that you all look at your TV and say, who comes up with this stuff.  Yea that was me.  It’s never as bad as people think.  Unless it is. Thought this video would help put some of the attack ads that we just finished watching into perspective.  Enjoy.
