May I Recommend™: The Golden Dollar Coin

I don’t use cash anymore, because paper money is dirty and has gonorrhea. But if you don’t tip the baristas at Starbucks, they will slip personal foam into your latte. The solution: the dollar coin. As it turns out, you can buy them by the hundreds from the U.S. federal reserve, shipped directly to you at no additional cost. You can pay by credit card and earn miles, too, although:

By clicking “Add to Cart” I agree that I understand, and will comply with, the intended purpose of the program.

and so, you absolutely should not try anything sneaky.

The dollars come in Jefferson, Madison and Sacajawea. They are shiny and gold and walking around with twenty or so in your pockets makes you feel rich, rich, rich. The only drawback is that sometimes the barista thinks you’re only tipping him or her a quarter.

May I Recommend™: Fukk by Maxx Barry

larrydoyle — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 14:20:17 +0000

Before he was Max Barry the best-selling author of the corporate satires Jennifer Government and Company, he was Maxx Barry, the Australian fellow who had written Fukk., a swell satire of advertising and marketing, about a dude named Scat who invents a Gen X cola in a black can, which is promptly stolen (in the book, and then later, in real life) and ends up involved in the first feature-length product placement, a major motion picture produced by the Coca-Cola company. Fukk the book is now being made as its own movie under its U.S. title, Syrup, which will not be as good as the book under either title.

What if I sell out and nobody buys?
