The Cadillac Is IN

Mailbag still open and porous. This: "how many work on the blog? Is it a solo deal or what?" Well that's two questions so we are having two staff members answer. First reply: many. Second reply: no. To elaborate, the Milkshake is a wholly-owned conglomerate with the parent owner overseas. The blog posts are wired over to the offices here in the states where they are posted by a worker-bee type of staff who work (and live) in a highly secure bunker in an undisclosed location. (Think of area 51 but without aliens.) Finally, it is cruise night part two so we take you on a guided tour of the miracle mile. Miracles still happen children. Just look at the Milkshake for proof. Definitive.

dark down

The mail is here. But it is going to drop one morsel at a time. Posed as a query author asks the Milkshake: "is there a favorite food?" And while the namesake suggests ice cream, the answer is simply chocolate. Who doesn't? I mean who wouldn't? Who could resist? Who could deny the dark bean of sin? The elixir of aztec kings? The freakishly intoxicating food that we live for. Beautiful chocolate. Beautiful freaky powerful chocolate. Beautiful....Freak.... It fits.

The Futurama tv series has been, to put it mildly, sleepwalking through its final season, till a couple nights ago with the Game of Tones entry, a funny, well-written 'sode with a touching third act, a glimmer of what made the show so great. Fans on gotfuturama.com are giving it very high marks. Does anybody use facebook or twitter? Do you use one more than the other? Tell us. Use the comments or tweet me....or don't. If space is the final frontier then the career market is the first frontier. Check out indeed.com for a job board you can maybe use....or not. The very word 'Friday' makes us place the Ramones in front of you.

PS tomorrow is car cruising night. Come back for some clips that will make you jump in your barracuda and go cruising saturday night!

Frightening Speed

Then and Now. For 50 years Brian and the Boys have been on top. Here's an ancient clip from Shindig and Brian at the Rock less than two years ago. Little Saint Nick is never far away. So why the heck not play these in August, it's only 120 odd days till he comes down the chimney.

Get galaxy clean, take a meteor shower

Look up 2nite. Look around. look deep. Look loooooong. Why? Why you say? Because your astroscience geek bone demands you satisfy your urge to discover and explore the night sky and come upon a shooting star or two, or ten. Meteors are showering, streaking, shooting, scattering and star riders are needed to spot, search, satisfy, sanctify and....smile. Wishing is optional --- but highly recommended.

Colors of the sky

Let's get right to the precious metals and let's let Bad Company sing us over to them and let's just enjoy the rock music because, because, well just because! (Because your ra-a-a-ain-bow IS overdue!

HEAVY metals

Even though some of the populace is caught up in sharks this week....and another portion is all about Harleys....we here at the Milkshake are bringing you the best and most illuminating diatribe on heavy metals. While you listen to the peaceful tones of Azure Clam Cabal and their lullabye about the three-toed lizard from the depths, get an eyeful of the periodic table of elements and the images of our first two metals: Iron, or Fe, and Steel, which requires carbon and other "heavies" to make it strong. Keep in mind that stainless steel requires the introduction of at least 11 percent chromium for hardness. Steel contains other elements as you are probably well aware. Next up will be Chrome, Aluminum, and others such as Copper, Tin, Silver and of course, Gold. ABOUT IRON: Fe is short from the latin word 'ferrum' and is found in meteorites. Steel contains manganese, nickel and others and is the main ingredient in buildings and cars. Lesson over for today. Iron Man is very cool so he was included, as was the man of Steel, Superman. We are not a fan of men in tights but we are a fan of Godzilla tearing through steel towers in the 1960 movie.

she makes your mouth water

Honestly, he just wants a girlfriend. If you watch the funny-by-accident scifi flick 'Revenge of the Creature' tonight you'll know what is meant by that sentence. He's misunderstood (like all monsters) and he just wants a friendly face (and body) to come home to at night after a tough day at the office, or in this case the seaquarium. Why do they have to pick on the gill-man? This blog firmly stands behind him and roots for him all the way. Watch for the cameo by Clint as a lab doctor. Ok. Nuff. He wants candy. You want candy. We ALL want candy. So go do what you do and git sum! It's Saturday night after all.
