Who is Mr. Cool Ice?

In my last post I posted a link to a video of the mysterious Mr. Cool Ice with a plea to anyone who spoke German to translate it. A big thanks goes out to Erik who took the time to watch the video and shed some light on the situation.

His hometown is Mainz, he is 33 years old and has gone by Mr. Cool Ice for the last 13 years. He basically states that's just who he is period.


They do a tour of his apartment and we discover that he is a clean freak. Everything has to be spotless and in the right place.



The 2 girls on the talk show are basically making an ass out of him and a direct translation from the girl sitting closest to him is "You look like Shit".

He has spent over 4,000 euro's to get his tattoos which is about 6, 000 USD.

Well there you have it a little light into the world of Mr. Cool Ice. If anyone has any more info keep it coming

I should also point out for those of you who haven't seen the video that "Ice Ice Baby" plays throughout and its likely that that is where he got his name from.

Mr. Cool Ice

I'm sure by now everyone has seen Mr. Cool Ice, whom I first posted in the Really Bad Tattoos part 3 entry. Well someone sent me a link to a Video of him!!!

I'm not positive but I think its German (I took German once in high school and failed miserably but got to miss a day of class to go to Oktoberfest and eat sausages and struesel and listen to a live polka band (definitely worth it))

The video is about 10 mins long and I couldn't understand a single thing yet I had to watch the whole thing in hopes of finding out some clues as to how and why this dude became Mr. Cool Ice.

If someone who speaks German could watch the vid and email me the translation (or at least the gist of what's going on) That would be amazing. I will post an update to fill everyone in.

no loss for words

Check out this excerpt from a conversation between Michael and Eko from the last episode of Lost.

Michael: I hear you're a priest
Eko: yes
Michael: I guess you believe in hell then
Eko: For a brief time I served in a small parish in England, and Every Sunday after mass I would see a young boy waiting at the back of the church. Then one day the boy confessed to me that he had beaten his dog to death with a shovel, he said that the dog had bitten his baby sister on the cheek and he needed to protect her and he wanted to know whether he would go to hell for this. I told him that God would understand, that he would be forgiven as long as he was sorry, but the boy did not care about forgiveness, he was only afraid that if he did go to hell that dog would be there waiting for him.

end of scene.

How fucking awesome is that. I'm definitely going to start talking like that, just answering questions with hard hitting, moral cautionary tales that are completely suited and relevant for the occasion. Seriously though why do we accept things in TV and the movies that are so far from reality, No one talks like that in real life. I wish they did though. No more small talk no more bullshit, everything that is said has an explicit purpose and is chock full of symbolism and foreshadowing. How strange would that be?

a sandwich to rule them all!

I've been posting a lot about food lately but after I made this sandwich I had to take a picture of it and share it with the world. Why? Because its a fucking work of art. Michelangelo never made a fucking sandwich like this (well he may have, but I imagine when he packed his lunch each day and went off to paint the Sistine chapel it was a lot less elaborate).

Here's what its got from the bottom up:
mustard
smoked turkey
melted 5 year old cheddar
sauteed red peppers
sauteed green peppers
sauteed portabella mushrooms
English cucumber
hot house tomatoes
romaine lettuce
mayonnaise
on toasted ciabatta loaf

fuck yeah.

actually it was only an average sandwich.

50 Year Old Food!

So I picked up a few mini cookbooks the other day. They were all published in the fifties. Oh what a glorious era. Here are a few pics.

I don't know what this really is but would you really want to eat something that looks like that?

---

I think the reason that souffle's have lost popularity is because this is what they are supposed to look like when you cook it right.

---

I have to admit that these look pretty good. These are the kind of treats that are made exclusively by old ladies and found only at church bake sales. Mainly because you couldn't find a single one of the ingredients in a modern day supermarket. They're probably packed with all sorts of archaic fats and shortening that you can only find in Grandma's 50 year old pantry.

---

This is some sort of an egg dish, you can tell by the cock on the table. Also it seems like this dish is to be served with a goblet of blood.

---

This cake is not made for mortals. I mean look at it, its furry and practically glows. I bet this is the kind of cake God has on his birthday.

---

Look at that luncheon spread. Lets face it, lunch isn't lunch without 5 different types of processed meat. I would also like to point out that it looks like these were they days before pimento loaf had macaroni and cheese and peppers and all the other stuff added.... Just green olives... We really have come a long way as a society
