Yeah, you can tell they added reverb to make his voice sound better. It's not as bad as how Kid Rock did "Only G*d Knows Why," or Cher's vocoding in "Do You Believe in Love," but you can hear the effect if you know what to look (listen?) for. Clearly he's no David Lee Roth.

Keith, about the Indians drinking antifreeze thing: it's not history, it's just sad. Indians are genetically vunerable to alcoholism, and the fact that most of them are poor doesn't help. Some of them are so poor that they can't even afford booze, so you can hear stories of them drinking hairspray (which has a lot of alcohol) or sometimes antifreeze (which isn't alcohol, but close enough).

And about laptop lights: I don't use a laptop, and I know the screens are often really, really bright. But laptop lights are for the keyboard, if you're not able to touch-type. Some of the newer laptops have lights under the keyboard, so you don't need a separate light. They can also be swung over if you've got papers next to you.

Russians are not much better. In Russia death due to alcohol has a rate of 500 per 100,000 as opposed to a rate of 77 for the United States. This soaring death rate is partly a result of the increase in the use of moonshine. The liquid sold in Moscow as whiskey or vodka is likely to be diluted jet fuel or aftershave.

Zow. Aftershave would be at least drinkable, but jet fuel... that would clean you out. What you save per bottle would be made up in underwear and Preparation H.

I can't speak for Russian vodka, although I guess that any liquor sold in bottles with a "tear top" probably indicates that you're getting close to the bottom of the barrel. But anyway, I can speak for Russian "champagne" after a friend brought back a couple of bottles after travelling through Europe.

All I can say is that it didn't taste any worse than any other $4.95 bottle of wine, but the headache the morning after was something special. I don't get migraines, but now I understand just how fucken awful they are. Also, as it happens, I now understand why crazy people cut the top of their heads open to let out "evil spirits". We actually were wondering if we should have kept a sample for analysis, just to give the coroner / ME a bit of a head start once we turned up dead a few days later.

Hmmm, maybe this post belongs in the "what's the dumbest thing you've ever done" thread?

You can now buy a vibrator that goes under the pillion (passenger) seat. You install it without telling your girlfriend, and it automatically turns on and off. Just in case the ride isn't enough for you (and her).

I don't have a link, but it's not a really difficult thing to build. So there may be a couple of manufacturers and sellers.

to be honest tho, it doesnt bother me. everyone knows podcasting is an amatuer kind of thing. its just a bunch of people doing shows from their house. STOP FUCKING MOANING.
