Patriot Of The Day: Jeff Kent
This man gets it. He is a true patriot.
During the end credits of Wednesday’s episode of “Survivor,” contestant Jeff Kent left with a parting jab at the re-elected president, saying the $1 million prize he just lost would be “only $600 grand by the time Obama takes it.”
Kent — a former professional baseball player — was a contestant in the 25th season of the CBS reality show “Survivor,” set in the Philippines.
“You know what pisses me off” Kent said, “is that I think I’ve made about $60 million dollars playing baseball and I want this freaking million dollars in this game. And it’s not even a million bucks, it’s $600 grand by the time Obama takes it.”
“I’m a game 7 World Series loser, you know: I’ve played in the biggest games in the world and the worst games in the world, but this just sucks,” he said.
Upside Down Helicopter Ceiling Fan
A reproduction in 1:6 scale of the legendary Hughes/MD 500, which in the collective imagination represents the helicopter par excellence, made its debut at the 2012 Milan Design Week. Even if it has been out of production for years, this helicopter model brings back to mind all the movies where it appeared since its creation in the 70’s. It was one of the few models which could free itself in flight and perform one thousand acrobatic feats, including flying upside down. In a fantasy world where things can be the opposite of what is real, Raffaele Iannello’s Upside Down instead of landing on the ground, lands on the ceiling and deploys its propellers becoming an exclusive fan with four blades. Available in shiny black with a silver base, it is produced in fiberglass with carbon fiber blades and an aluminum internal structure. It has a standard three speed motor, which can be activated by the included remote. The diameter of the blades is 140 cm, and the base is 70 cm.

This monster snack is the world’s meatiest sandwich – crammed from bottom to top with 41 different cuts of meat including sausages, ham, turkey and – of course – bacon.

The massive sarnie, dubbed a ‘carnivore’s dream’, stands a whopping 15 inches high, 24 inches wide and tips the scales at more than two stones.It contains 1,445 grams of ham, two kilograms of salami, turkey and bacon, one kilogram of sausages and 720 grams of chorizo.
Hidden among the meat is cheese and gherkins and if you look carefully you might even be able to spot some salad between the cuts.
It was made by British chef and restaurateur Tristan Welch to mark the launch of TV programme Man v. Food Nation on Food Network UK.
The new show sees host Adam Richman travelling through the United States encouraging people to take on daring food challenges.
Luckily for all meat lovers Mr Welch has shared the recipe online so that brave diners can take on the challenge at home.Nick Thorogood, from the Food Network, said: ‘The world’s meatiest sandwich is an epic creation.
‘We expect only the very brave will take on the challenge and attempt to eat it.
‘We wanted to create a sandwich that embodies the Man v. Food Nation series – that is big dishes, big flavours and big challenges.
‘It is definitely a dish that host Adam Richman will be proud of.’
Girl Scout Cookie Flavored Lip Balms
We might not be fans of Cheetos flavored lip balm or Paula Deen butter lip balm, but the latest collection from Lip Smacker knows the way to our hearts. The Girl Scout Cookie lip balm collection represents five of our favorite tasty treats: Thin Mints, Trefoils, Chocolate Peanut Butter (Tagalongs), Peanut Butter (Do-si-dos), and Coconut Caramel Stripes (Samoas).
These lip balms taste and smell just as scrumptious as the cookies, and you won’t put on any extra pounds by wearing them-though you may develop a habit of licking your lips. Thankfully they’re hydrating too. Buy them individually or get all five in a set for $5 at Wal-Mart and Claire’s stores. Come 2012 they’ll be available in the liquid lip gloss version too. We can’t wait to enjoy our Trefoils all year round!
