Slurm Soon to be Real Beverage

Wait, what!?

Fox sure is one strange company. First they cancel Futurama, then after years of fan pressure revive it, and finally, with whatever insane boardroom reasoning, decide to begin producing a beverage from the show. Trademork reports Fox has applied for a trademark for the name Slurm in all beverage forms. I don't see Coffee Slurm in the near future, but really neither did I see, um, Slurm. Maybe they're just paranoid and have no plans for actual production. That's reasonable, but remember this is Fox.

Now I'm sure Slurm is going to be hella tasty (I'm more sure it'll taste awful, but I'll drink it loyally nonetheless) but I am wondering if it'll actually be harvested from of a giant and arguably evil worm. Will this fact be disclosed to the world, or might it just become an urban legend amongst soda drinkers? Possible slogan for the intial debut: "Not worm shit."

Really though, I'm willing to put up with the occasional world domination attempt by the Slurm Queen if I get the chance to hang out with Slurms McKenzy, the original party worm. Whimmy wam wam wozzle! Let's party!

When Irony Attacks

Now traditionally this blog doesn't really act as a consumer guide in any other way than pointing out what television shows you should probably avoid in prime-time, but when I read this story I felt that I had to get the message out--to warn you, my readers.

Apparently while designers were testing out a new gizmo designed to repel sharks with ever-so-cool electromagnetic fields, the "shark shield" was, well, attacked by a great white shark. Luckily, no one was hurt during the incident save the unfortunate buoy strapped to the device. I'm hoping someone left the thing on the wrong setting or something. Maybe accidentally reversed the polarity when they nuked their breakfast burrito.

The designers claim the device works as long as it remains motionless. You mean like while attached to a buoy?

In brief: don't watch buy.

I punched a whale. Right in the face. Down he went, like Liston.
