Fever for the Flava of Flavored Vodka
Normally I am not a huge fan of flavored Vodka, since in the gypsy infested village where I spent my youth Vodka was consumed straight up, but I have to make an exception for the folks from the Three Olives. I had the occasion to try their Cherry and Grape flavored Vodka concoctions and I […]

Finally A Great Home-Theater-In-A-Box
Finally a great home theater in a box (HTIB). Why do I say finally? Because, typically, when you buy a pre-packaged home theater system… they pretty much suck. They usually look great… but sound like shite. Kinda like Jessica Simpson. Enough of the chitter chatter. Check out the Onkyo HT-S9100THX HTIB now only $799 (down […]
