    Seriously??!!!??? Recommend STEALING something and giving it as a gift?

    Does the whole idea of Christmas completely escape the Gizmodo group?

    There's the whole "Thou shall not steal" first of all and secondly it's illegal.

    I'd have to put this up with one of the dumbest things I've heard this season.

    We're celebrating the birth of the Savior of the World! God became incarnate in the person of Jesus and to celebrate His birth, you're suggesting committing a felony.

    May God have mercy on you this CHRISTmas season.

    I can't recommend enough getting a home brew kit for the beer lover in your life. When I finally started brewing my own beer, after years of saying "You know, I should brew my own beer," it was like "Why didn't I start doing this sooner?"

    Seriously, if you've ever thought about it, or know someone who has, take that plunge!

    Great work on the "shout out" to Coors Light. If they improved the taste of that watery drek, it might be compared to donkey piss.

    The cask ale advice is solid. I think I'll take that recommendation for a couple of buddies.

    For something quite different in a bottle, I'd suggest a Scottish beer called Innis & Gunn. It's aged in oak barrels and tastes a lot different than most beer.

    @pettiblay: @Counterglow: Hey, light beer vs regular beer is usually .25% to 1% less alcohol. The average beer is 5% alcohol.

    You can pay an easy 8-10 dollars for a six pack of your 'high quality beer', or you can pay that much for a twelve pack of coors light... even better go seven dollars for a twelve pack of pabst.

    It's easy to spot an amateur beer drunk.

    @Shamoononon: I shave my legs.: Amateur beer drunk, you say? Ha! I suckled Molson Stock Ale at my mother's breast! Well, maybe not quite, but close.

    Anyway, here's a breakdown on your REAL bang for the beer-swilling buck:

    You can get a 12-pack of Lakeport Ice Beer (5.5% alcohol) for $4.45 LESS than a 12-pack of Coors Light (4% alcohol). So, yes...save the price of a couple of bags of munchies to go with your beer and at the same time get an extra 1.5% alcohol to soothe your troubled mind.

    By fortunate coincidence, I live about a mile and a half from the Lakeport Brewery ;) .

    @Shamoononon: I shave my legs.: For those of you whose lives aren't a meaningless empty shell of an existence in which getting drunk is your only Valhalla I do agree there is better beer. I have been known to pony up to a sixxer of shiner bock every now and again. However when I wanna get really pissed drunk (every night) I usually drink Keystone because its cheap and I drink alot. I have a drinking problem and I intend on doing nothing about it.

    I've used the Vinturi Aerator a number of times, and even tasted the same wine side by side (aerated and non-aerated). There is a noticeable difference between the aerated wine and the non-aerated.
    The aerated wine is much lighter and smoother, with a more full-bodied flavor. It's quite delicious, and makes cheaper wines taste much like their more costly brethren.
    In sum: get it, it's worth it.

    @coughiecup: Your point is a good one, though I admit that it has been my experience that you could aerate wine into virtually any secondary glass container and get that same effect of an improved tasting wine. It may not make Night Train taste like a Brunello, but any aeration will make an improvement on just about any bottle of wine that has not turned into vinegar yet.

    @nutbastard: I've never tried an actual decanter, I'll have to do that.

    @Monty: Absolutely. Although with this aerator, it feels like it pulls more air through the wine than others like it, letting it breathe more in less time.
    But yes, any aeration does improve the taste of most any wine. Maybe I'd just like to think that this one does it better.

    I bought one of those crayon maker things for my kids (photo #2).

    I like it and think it's cool. They, however, lost interest after one use.

    I think the main problem with it is:
    Ages of kids who like to use crayons = 3-8 years old.
    Age of kids who can safely use something that gets hot enough to melt wax = over 10 years old.

    So my 11 year old liked the idea of melting things, but the novelty wore off fast.

    If ever I have a kid, I plan on buying them the Fisher Price classic toys like the Chatter telephone or Dr. Duck or the Two Tune Television. I had lots of fun with those as a little kid (as did my siblings) so I think they'd be perfect for a small child in 2010.

    Oh and a Slinky. Every child needs at least one Slinky.

    we invented the Settlers of Catan drinking game. every time someone builds a settlement, the other people take half a shot. For a city, a full shot. Liquor is usually vodka. We use chasers sometimes.
