20 Cups of Coffee and 7 Almonds: What David Lynch Eats

20 Cups of Coffee and 7 Almonds: What David Lynch Eats

The November issue of Food & Wine includes a brief interview with director David Lynch that is weird and wonderful, especially in an issue so focused on Thanksgiving and holiday cheer. Who can talk turkey when the man behind Eraserhead and Twin Peaks is talking about his very specific food preferences and describing his ideal kitchen? (Spoiler alert: it's a little disturbing.)

Goggie Swag: Shark Dog Bed

Goggie Swag: Shark Dog Bed

This week we found a super fun, and a little bit scary, dog bed that looks like a shark! Although not only does this dog bed *look* cool, it is also built with amazing nanotechnology. The material's non-toxic nano-particles make this bed self-cleaning, activated by natural sunshine. In cases of large messes though, the cushions are machine washable. So what are you waiting for? Haven't you always wanted your dog to sleep in the belly of a Japanese nano-technological shark? Find out more about it here!

Chameleon Clock App

Chameleon Clock App

The Chameleon Clock app isn't just another app that displays the time – it uses your iPhone or iPad camera to capture the environment and tur ns it into the clock's background. Just like a chameleon would, the camera allows your device to blend into the space around it. It can either sample a color that it sees or play the live video of what it sees making your device appear transparent. Cool, right?

Mullet Wire: Australian Man Kicked Out of a Bar Because of His Mullet

Mullet Wire: Australian Man Kicked Out of a Bar Because of His Mullet

An Australian man says he got kicked out of the Print Hall rooftop bar in Perth because he has a mullet. Talking to The West Australian, David Hoogland said, "I'm not in a gang, I don't have tattoos all over me, I'm just an everyday person." No, he has just proudly worn a mullet for the past ten years. Hoogland had been at the bar for half an hour before he was asked to leave "because of his hair." The bar has as yet declined to comment on the matter.

According to one mullet-bearer, in Australia "some venues [believe] people with mullets or rat's tails were more likely to become drunk and rowdy on a night out." Australians, do share your mullet-y thoughts in the comments below. Also, if you happen to live in Perth and sport one of these fine hair cuts, The West Australian is holding a contest for Perth's best mullet. In honor of Hoogland, naturally.

Book Club: Well Yeah Sarah Palin Is Writing a Fitness Book/Cookbook

Book Club: Well Yeah Sarah Palin Is Writing a Fitness Book/Cookbook

[Photo: Sarah Palin/Facebook]

Former Alaska governor/noted pizza expert Sarah Palin is working on a fitness book. According to important people magazine People, Palin said, "Our family is writing a book on fitness and self-discipline focusing on where we get our energy and balance as we still eat our beloved homemade comfort foods!" Calling it a "unique and motivating book", Palin made some promises about her family's fitness/self-discipline/comfort foods book: "We promise you what we do works and allows a fulfilling quality of life and sustenance anyone can enjoy."

Last year, Palin admitted to eating organic, but not the arugula kind: "We eat organic," said Palin. "We just have to shoot it first. And it comes wrapped in fur, not cellophane." Alas, People notes that it's "unclear" if there's a contract, publisher, or release date, so, uh, sit tight.

Receiptrocity: Chicago Bears Prank Rookies With a $38K Mastro's Check

Receiptrocity: Chicago Bears Prank Rookies With a $38K Mastro's Check

Welcome to Receiptrocity, bringing you the strangest and most entertaining receipts America's restaurants have to offer. If you've got an interesting, notable or funny receipt, scan/photograph it and send it over to national@eater.com.

What's a fun prank to play when you're a millionaire professional football player? Oh, just hazing the new players with an outrageous dinner receipt that presumably they would have to pay. According to Chicagoist, last night Chicago Bears defensive lineman Israel Idonije tweeted a receipt for $38,091.91 from Mastro's Steakhouse, with most of the damage done by three orders of a "Bears dinner" for $9,999 apiece.

But apparently a "Bears dinner" is not a real thing you can order at Mastro's. Idonije explained this morning that the receipt was just a prank on two of the newest team members — and the restaurant was in on it, tweeting "glad we could help play a joke on the rookies!" Chicagoist points out that even subtracting the fake line item, the bill still was at least $4,000.

Rich People Things: Neiman Marcus Is Selling an 'Epic' $250,000 Dinner by Thomas Keller, Daniel Boulud, and More

Rich People Things: Neiman Marcus Is Selling an 'Epic' $250,000 Dinner by Thomas Keller, Daniel Boulud, and More

Neiman Marcus has announced its annual list of super extra insanely expensive fantasy gifts, and included is this $250,000 dinner for ten prepared by none other than chefs Thomas Keller, Daniel Boulud, Richard Rosendale, and Jerome Bocuse. Yes, there are four zeros at the end of that price tag. But the money does go to the Bocuse d'Or USA Foundation?

The dinner will take place at the purchaser's home, so hope you have a nice kitchen. (Don't worry, you'll have access to a "professional event planner" to help you get everything ready.) Also included in the meal: a tequila tasting with "personalized, engraved crystal bottles" for each diner. Below, a video in which Thomas Keller and Maestra Tequila Bertha Gonzales discuss what two and a half hundred thousand dollars will get you:

Twisty Curvy Charging Device, Dock and Tripod for iPhone

Twisty Curvy Charging Device, Dock and Tripod for iPhone

Spotted on Fastcodesign, the Bobine is one of the hottest iPhone accessories available on the market of consumer electronics. What makes it so special and why we think it's hot? Well, let's start with the beginning. The Bobine is a charging cable, with e built-in USB, all wrapped in a flexible metallic gooseneck. Now the interesting part: you can bend it in whatsoever shape you feel like and it stays like that, offering you different viewing angles. Ever seen a "floating" iPhone? Connect it to the un-cable and see what happens. But this smartphone accessory is not used only for charging, you can easily adjust it into a tripod. All you have to do now is look for that perfect spot and take awesome pictures.

The Bobine, designed by [Fuse] Chicken was an instant success. Due to its cool design that made it so appealing, 10,000 units were sold in less than a month and a half. Switching the annoying maze of cables with a simpler solution brought Jon Fawcett to the spotlights. The designer explains why the Bobine works so well, giving his own experience with the charging dock as an example: "I no longer have cables laying all over my desk. They are all standing up in the air and my desk is clean". The Bobine is also available for Android devices.

Scandals: Alleged Wine Butt-Chugger Holds Absurd Press Conference to Deny Butt-Chugging

Scandals: Alleged Wine Butt-Chugger Holds Absurd Press Conference to Deny Butt-Chugging

How many times can you squeeze the phrase "butt-chugging" into one press conference? Attorney Daniel McGeHee — who represents a University of Tennessee frat member rumored to have ended up in the hospital due to, ahem, "alcohol enemas" — seeks to find out in the video below. McGeHee and members of the fraternity in question gathered in front of media to deny the butt-chugging allegations, and also to deny that the student in question "may be a gay man." (Sigh.) Behold as McGeHee, flanked by an army of 20 year-olds in suits and sunglasses, tells the journalists, "Shame on you for having reported lies and incorrect information." They plan on taking legal action against "whoever has violated [the non-butt-chugger's] constitutional rights and the list is as long as your arm."

So what did happen that fateful night? Apparently the brothers held something called a "Tour of Franzia," which according to Urban Dictionary is when a group of people "race to finish a bag of Franzia wine, and then ride bikes." Okay. Here's the press conference that still doesn't answer the question if wine butt-chugging is the new vodka tampon-ing:

Curve BT iDock

Curve BT iDock

For those of us that rely on our mobile phones for most, if not all, of our calls, a wireless handset is worth consideration. I recently received a sample of the Curve BT iDock to try out, and despite my reservations of adding yet another item to my desktop, I'm actually pleased with its look, feel, and function. At times our mobile phones can be a little awkward to hold, but the Curve's handset is comfortable and more appropriate for longer conversations. It can connect to 2 devices (think iPad + phone) simultaneously and your iPhone/Android can sync and charge while on the dock to avoid losing any of that precious battery life.

Works with iPhone, iPad and and Android.
Ideal for use with Skype, Google Talk and VoIP computer telephony.

Designer: David Turpin.

Nothing has made me want to bust out my markers and crayons more than this Bill Murray coloring book. The UK-based Belly Kids sought out 24 illustrators to design images of the beloved Bill Murray and compiled them into this ridiculously fun coloring book entitled Thrill Murray.

The illustrations are based on the characters he's played so you'll definitely recognize the ones included whether you're a movie lover or not. I don't know about you but I can't get enough of this and luckily it's available now!
