Valentine's sweat, Bilk, Grammy - winners? 2.13.2007.1

Well here is something that may help out some guys tomorrow (Valentine’s Day). Not sure if you have the right gift for your lady? Not sure how to get the right response? Well you can try this, get sweaty. Yes, researchers now say that the scent given off by sweat is an aphrodisiac causing arousal and boosting mood for women. Shocking isn’t it.

No surprise that pheromones have always played a factor in attracting a mate, but now sweat seems just as important. Of course how much sweat is another question. Science finally figured out what male strippers, and any guy just back from the gym or hard work have known for quite some time. Still, if you missed getting the right gift from my online store (you can still get something to make up for getting it wrong), this could help make things right. We’ll see.

On a different note for those without a Valentine, you may be at the local bar drowning your sorrow. If you are adventurous there is something out there that may catch your attention. If you aren’t lactose intolerant and like milk why not try Bilk. That’s beer made from milk. Yes, someone has made beer that is milk based. Now guess where this idea came from? Japan of course.

Personally I think the Germans have it down pat when it comes to beer. Milk is not my cup of tea when it comes to fermented drinks. But in a land of technological innovation and unique styles it may be the next big thing. I would love to hear from anyone who has tried it to describe the taste. I just can’t imagine it. But it’s a new take on ‘milk does a body good’.

In other silly news, the Dixie Chicks won some Grammys over the weekend. Good for them I suppose. The funny thing is that they don’t get played on country music stations and the album they won for didn’t make the top 20 last year. But this seems to go well with the extended time that they were given during the Grammy Awards show to spout their comments. It also raises the question on whether the music industry was trying to push a political agenda or actually recognizing the best album. It’s a legitimate question considering the renowned position the Dixie Chicks took in 2003.

I personally am still upset about it. They can have any view they wish, they could have had a bit better tact about making those views public. But to each their own. And country music stations still have no interest in playing the Grammy winning song, album or artists. Makes you wonder if the Grammys are as far out of touch as the Oscar Awards are.

More soon. I’m still backlogged, and there is a bunch I want to discuss on the political side with the potential candidates, in particular Senator Obama.

This is what I think, what do you think?
