Neighbors: Mike Giant on How To Get Shit Done

How To: Make a Guinness Black & Orange (Smashed Pumpkin)

This simple concoction seriously tastes like pumpkin pie à la mode. And its colors are perfect for cheering the San Francisco Giants. Win, win.

It works with any pumpkin beer, but I prefer Smashed Pumpkin Ale from Shipyard‘s Pugsley’s Signature Series. It’s big on flavor without tasting like a packet of pumpkin spice dropped in a beer. There’s a great writeup on it at Brewed For Thought.

How To: Make a Gummy Bear Burst Into Flames

This vid’s been around a while but’s new to me. Apparently the oxidizing agent in molten-hot Potassium Chlorate reacts violently to the sugar in a helpless lil’ Gummy Bear. Pretty rad.

Definitely more advanced science than using glycerin to make an invisible bottle.

NSFW: Tron-a-Sutra

There’s nothing sexier than a glowing girl contorting with a double-chinned dude in his Tron Underoos … actually, everything’s sexier than this. But it’s my job to share it with you.

“Shot with a RED camera, After Effects, a Mac, and a couple crappy bicycle helmets.”

See Tron-a-sutra videos for 20 positions, including the 69, the lesser-known 68, the Sitting Bull, and the Pearly Gates. Get the full story here.
