I spent over an hour in an apartment overlooking the Spanish coast waiting for someone to win the prize. It got as high as 7700€ before someone finally got it. Keep in mind that about a hundred different people guessed 0 and 17. Neither were correct.

So when what I saw instead was a chalky, curdled brown ring of what could have passed as the residue left over in your toilet bowl after an episode of the runs, I was elated.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwtuv1OS5B1qzeir6.jpg" width="500"/></p> <p>It looked like beer. It smelled like beer. Thank God, I think it’s beer.</p> <p>Not much a man of science, I was astounded by the physics of the “syphon”. Somehow it utilizes differences in pressure to maintain a continual flow of liquid from one container to the other and doesn’t require the rudimentary suck-to-start method.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwtv3aQo4D1qzeir6.jpg" width="500"/></p> <p>I will say that we were both rather shocked by the dark shade of the beer. I mean, we knew we had set out to brew a brown ale, but it was just so, so brown.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwtvf8V0AI1qzeir6.jpg" width="500"/></p> <p>Not coming to a liquor store near you in February 2010.</p>http://kurtlash.com/post/353374571http://kurtlash.com/post/353374571Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:23:00 -0800<p>When it rains in San Diego, roads become rivers.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwm6k9fZ0d1qzeir6.jpg" width="500"/></p> <p>Good luck, San Diego.</p>http://kurtlash.com/post/346392654http://kurtlash.com/post/346392654Thu, 21 Jan 2010 12:38:00 -0800<p>Actually, it is yeast.
