Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Trailer 2
January 17, 2007 | 15 Comments
The second trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is now out! This CGI animated movie looks fantastic. It appears they have kept the great mix of humor and action we all love from the Turtles. I am very excited about this movie.
Watch it now in HD! or below in a low res version:
Here is a plot description from the marketing text:
After the defeat of their old arch nemesis, The Shredder, the Turtles have grown apart as a family. Struggling to keep them together, their rat sensei, Master Splinter, becomes worried when strange things begin to brew in New York City. Tech-industrialist Max Winters is amassing an army of ancient monsters to apparently take over the world.

Perfect Black & Tan
January 5, 2006 | 7 Comments
For my birthday I got the Brutul (brew tool) Lagerhead Black & Tan Turtle. For years I’ve been making black & tans using a bent spoon. I’m hear to say this turtle absolutely rules in comparison. I can hardly mess these things up using the turtle.
They give a great description of how to pour a black & tan:
Simply chill the beer, then half-fill a standard pint glass with the bottom beverage (pour a good head so you liberate the CO2). Place the Lagerhead® Turtle on the rim of the glass, then gradually pour the Irish stout over the turtle’s back to form the top layer.
They also provide the following recipes, some of which I’ve had, the rest I need to try:
Black & Tan
Guinness® - Bass Ale®
Half & Half
Guinness® - Harp Lager®
Blacksmith
Guinness® - Smithwick’s® Ale
Patriot
Guinness® - Sam Adams Lager®
Snakebite
Guinness® - Hard Cider
Black Velvet
Guinness® - Champagne
Blacktop
Beamish® - Fat Tire Amber Ale®
Bohemian
Beamish® - Pilsner Urquell®
Big Easy
Beamish® - Abita Amber Lager®
Snapper
Murphy’s® - Redhook ESB®
Bumble Bee
Murphy’s® - Dundee Honey Lager®
I created one of my own recipes, the “Black & Blue” which is Guinness® - Sea Dog® Blue Paw Wheat Ale. The blueberry flavor bubbles up through the Guinness® producing an amazing flavor.
As a final justification for buying one of these, some of the proceeds of each sold is contributed to the Lagerhead Foundation which funds projects to help turtles.
