Dear Santa: Please bring me gummi-colored dental floss holders shaped like piranha. Thank you.

Dill pickle juice. No pickles, just the juice. Bottled. 16 oz containers.
Really.
The Golden Pickle Juice web site claims that pickle juice makes a good sports drink (buh?) or as a mixer for cocktails (euh?). Their Drink of The Month: Golden Jager Blaster. Half and Half Pickle Juice and Red Bull. With a shot of Jagermeister.
Really.
And it is claimed repeatedly on the web site that Pickle Juice is not made by a troop of elves squeezing the souls out of pickles.
No Really. That’s what it says. Go look.
I got the link from Slashfood which refers to a BevNet post where Pickle Juice is described as smelling “like a bio lab during dissections.” I had this vivid mental image of big tubs of pickles bent in horrible shapes and you have to pin them down on the wax tray to get them to lie flat. I may never eat pickles again.

For friday cat blogging I give you pictures of cheetah cubs born last year at the National Zoo. If you do not end up squealing like a girl at the cuteness displayed here, I am sorry, there is something wrong with you.
There are also cheetah cams although I don’t see anything except zookeepers.

Now this is one neato map. Its a breakdown of the regional term for a sweet carbonated beverage across the united states, based on actual survey data submitted to www.popvssoda.com. Click a state for raw data.
What I find especially interesting about this is that although I knew soda vs. pop vs. coke was regional, I didn’t realize how incredibly distinctly regional it was. Some of these dividing lines are really stark, for reasons I cannot begin to imagine. Why is is soda in eastern PA and pop in western with a near perfect dividing line between the two? Ditto California and Oregon? What is with that big blotch of soda in St. Louis? And just what precisely does “other” mean?
Where I come from, its “soda.”
