As if things haven’t been going poorly enough for Rupert Murdoch recently, while he was testifying before a British Parliament committee on the phone hacking scandal, he was hit by a shaving cream pie from some wacko.

Outside of his wife doing the old jump-slap on the perpetrator (and leading to the fantastic CNN quote “nothing comes between the slap-down sister and her mister”), I was left wondering – is it really asking too much to see someone use an actual pie?

Seriously, is it really that much harder to sneak in a shaving cream pie over a key lime pie? And shaving cream washes right off – but blueberry juice – forget your stain stick – that stuff is permanent. Want to leave an impression, hit someone with a coconut cream pie – you get the same “creamed” effect, but it is also delicious.

And maybe it’s me, but I expected more out of Jolly Olde England. Perhaps a Shepard’s Pie should have been in order…

Shaving cream? Please. Unimaginative, and just plain lazy. I expect more out of my lunatics.

With this video starring mixologist Mike Yen of Nine-Ten in La Jolla, we may be looking at the booze/mixed drinks of the future.  Watch as Mike uses liquid nitrogen to make a Dippin’ Dots version of a classic white russian cocktail.  Hey, if we can make marijuana ice cream, why not nitrogen frozen cocktails? For those of you wondering, yes, this creation absolutely has booze in it. The extreme cold temperatures of liquid nitrogen allows the alcohol within the mixture to freeze.
