Goblin does something barely any albums, if any album at all, have done before. It does not give a shit about hype or your expectations. Not the slightest shit, like a piece of rabbit shit. Why is this a good thing? Because it surpasses the hype so greatly that it makes you forget there was hype in the first place. This isn’t rap, this is something far greater. Tyler isn’t trying to make something that will stand out as one of the greatest rap albums of all time, but he seems to have stumbled upon just that. So, enough build up… hey Kanye! Kanye! Imma let you finish, but Tyler, The Creator has one of the greatest rap albums of ALL TIME! ALL TIME!

Being serious, Goblin is the best rap album of the best ten years and easily one of the best rap albums of all time. Fuck it, it’s easily one of the greatest albums of all time, period. There is nothing, not a single thing, out there that is anything like this. It is unique enough to make even the most hardcore hipster cream themselves. Barely does an album give you chills, laugh your ass off, and scare the shit out of you all within an hour and a half, and if you asked me if a rap album could do that, I would have asked you if a pig can shit out wings, attach them, and fly. Well, I think some swine just flu (BAHDUMTISH) because that’s exactly what Goblin does. When “Golden”, the final track of the album, ended, I found myself unable to listen to any other music for at least half an hour and could barely speak, as I had chills, goosebumps, and was completely speechless.

While other rap albums just give a friendly “Hello!” or a middle finger from far away, Goblin gets in your face and screams until it’s covered in more saliva than bacteria. Most people say they don’t give a fuck, but then whine about everything everyone says about them. While he does use his music as therapy, Tyler, The Creator makes you believe that he doesn’t even know what a fuck is enough to not give one. He made the beats, the videos, the artwork, and the lyrics in his own way and his own way is pretty damn amazing.

Anyway, let’s rap this up (BAHDUMTISH). Goblin is not for the faint of heart. It hasn’t lost the edge Bastard had, it actually up’s the ante and makes you realize that, even if you wanted to, you can’t do shit to stop it. Rape, murder, drug use, alcohol abuse, suicide, insanity, confusion… the list goes on. But this isn’t just for the fuck of it, and it’s not just shock value to boost record sales. Tyler, The Creator has created (BAHDUMTISH) a line-up of characters that represent the dark and light sides of us all and dives into them headfirst, unintentionally almost becoming the spoke person for the human mentality. He brings the best parts of life out to the spotlight, but also drags the darkest, most ignored and conventionally rejected things into the same light, both with the same lack of care for other’s perception or reaction. But if you can weather the journey, you’ll find an experience that you will never, ever forget.

Long story short: Goblin is one of the greatest rap albums ever released. You must own it.

Goblin gets a 5 out of 5.

Our system is very simple. 5 ratings with 5 different meanings. No decimals. No 0′s or 6′s. Simple and easy. Here’s how it works:

1 – A 1 rating means something is horrible to the fullest extent of horrible. You need to avoid this at all costs. Now, sometimes 1′s are rewarded in a general sense or in a context of the review. (That’s the only confusing part.) Examples of some 1 worthy things are: Anything by Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber himself. Custer’s Revenger and E.T. You know, shit like that.

2 – A 2 rating means something is barely standable to somewhat standable. If you are into the kind of thing that whatever is rated this is, it’s worth at least a glance at your local store. Examples of some 2 worthy things are: Liberation Transmission by Lostprophets. Anything by Coldplay (in my opinion). Anything by Disturbed.

3 – A 3 rating means something is average. It’s not great, but it’s not horrible. It’s right there in the middle. Worth at least a test or rent or whatever at the local “test or rent or whatever” store. Examples of some 3 worthy things are: Any Austin Powers movie other than the first one. Wayne’s World 2. Minutes To Midnight by Linkin Park.

4 – A 4 rating means something that is actually quite good to pretty damn good. You really should have a healthy wanting to check this out. Examples of some 4 worthy things are: I Am Legend. Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy.

5 – A 5 rating is something that I personally give rarely. (Well, when we first stared, I gave them out quite easily, but now I’m better that that.) A 5 is only for something that ranges from super great to master-fucking-piece. If you don’t own this, you should be pimp-slapped into a china cabinet. Examples of some 5 worthy things are: Led Zeppelin. ‘Nuff said. Them Crooked Vultures by Them Crooked Vultures. The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails. Red Dead Redemption. Black Dynamite.

See, it’s really not that hard! Now that you understand our rating system, you can truly enjoy Pwnagepickle.com to the fullest extent. Now, go get caught in an amazer beam.

Zack’s Top 10 Predictions for 2010:

#10: Sequel to “smash-hit” 2012, “2012: Oh Look, The World DIDN’T Actually End!”, begins filming.

#9. Justin Bieber will finally reveal that he is gay and that all his love songs were about the times his daddy raped him.

#8. Aliens will finally make contact with humans in the form of a message: “Dear Earth: Your depictions of us are completely wrong. I mean, little green men? Really? But you did get one thing right… we COULD actually destroy your planet whenever we want to. We are just kind. Love, Aliens.”

#7. School will finally be announced as legal child torture. Nothing will change.

#6. The first brain phone will be made. To accept a call, you have to smack your ear, which results in you hearing in the only ear that the call doesn’t come out of. So, in other words, phones will still suck.

#5. McDonalds finally admits that the Big Mac is make from the flesh of former employees. Sales are unaffected.

#4. Dracula will fucking kill Edward Cullen brutally.

#3. Gerard Way will drop a bombshell by saying he isn’t gay, but that the lead singer of R.E.M. is. Will be proven to be correct.

#2. People will realize that most of the music, movies and books they enjoy are horrible. Nothing will be done.

#1. John Lennon is going to come out of the grave and join forces with Paul McCartney to fight Zombie Michael Jackson for the rights to the The Beatles songs.

It just REEKS awesome!

Battery life is also a lot better in 3.0. Coming out the 18th.

How to Make Latte Art

from wikiHow – The How to Manual That You Can Edit

While many agree that making a good cup of espresso is an art within itself, latte art refers to patterns made in the foam topping espresso drinks. If you want to get in touch with your inner barista (expert in coffee preparation), latte art is a critical skill which can take years to master.

Steps

1. Pour enough milk for one cup into the steam pitcher. Put the steam wand at the bottom of the pitcher. Turn on the steam, and slowly raise the wand until it is near the top of the milk. Lower the pitcher as the milk rises so the steam wand stays 1 cm away from the top of the milk. The milk should not stretch too much nor should there be any big bubbles. Create a smooth, velvety milk as opposed the foam that sits atop most espresso drinks.
2. Allow the milk to reach 80 ºF (27 ºC), then place the steam wand on the side of the pitcher, deep into the milk, positioning the pitcher to spin counterclockwise. Keep doing this motion until the milk heats to 150 ºF to 160 ºF (65 ºC – 70 ºC). Shut the steam and remove the steam wand and thermometer from the milk. Clean the steam wand with a wet cloth.
3. Vigorously swirl the milk. If you see any bubbles, pound the pitcher on the counter several times and go back to swirling the milk for 20 to 30 seconds. Do this even while the espresso is pouring.
4. Start pouring the milk into the espresso. To create a flower pattern, pour the milk into the bottom part of the cup, about an inch (2 cm – 3 cm) away from the bottom. Once the cup is about half filled, shake the pitcher back and forth while slowly moving it backwards. The flower design will move forward, filling the cup. Do this with a shaking motion originating at the wrist instead of moving your hand back and forth.
5. Once the foam reaches the top, pour the milk up the center of the pattern you created. Use a minimal amount of milk to avoid sinking the flower pattern.
6. Embellish the design using stencils, powder, and milk foam. This step is optional, as many prefer to limit their latte art to “free form” methods, but you may want to experiment with the possibilities added by “etching.”
   • To write a word, such as “love” in the picture, melt milk chocolate and using a pin as a paintbrush drag the melting chocolate over the foamed milk. More commonly this is done by dipping said pointy object into the cream of the drink being decorated, and then transferring that cream stained foam to the pure white foam to ‘draw’ a design,

Tips

• If you want to pour a heart pattern, shake as before without moving backwards as much. Form a ringed circle then slowly pour milk through the center to make a multi-layered heart.
• The espresso must be perfect.
• You must use an espresso machine with a proper brew head and boiler and enough steam power to properly froth the milk. These machines can cost at least $500.
• Before trying this with milk, try it first with water. While water doesn’t have the same consistency as milk, practicing with water will allow you to get familiar with pouring and shaking at the same time.
• Use fresh milk for every cup, even if you have milk left over from the previous cup.
• Start with very cold milk — keep the temperature right above freezing. Also, make sure you keep the steam pitchers refrigerated. Cold milk and steam pitchers will give you more time to create the smooth and velvety texture needed for latte art.
• Use a cup with a wide mouth. It will allow you to see the developing latte art design more easily.
• Instead of using a thermometer, you can keep two fingers at the bottom of the pitcher. When you can’t hold your fingers there without burning them, it’s usually between 120 and 125 degrees.
• Make sure you have a decent crema (thick, golden layer) on the espresso – it’s just as important as the milk: if you don’t have crema, what is there to stain?
• Try shaking chocolate powder into the cup before pouring the milk – it gives an interesting effect

Warnings

• Do not let the milk heat to over 160 ºF (70 ºC), as this will limit the sweetness of the milk.
• Don’t burn yourself.

Things You’ll Need

• Whole milk
• Espresso
• Straight walled steam pitcher with a sharp spout
• Espresso machine with a powerful steam wand
• 14 ounce (400 ml) latte cup
• Thermometer

How to Create a Secret Society

from wikiHow – The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Have you always wanted to be in an exclusive club, but never known of any? Do you wish to be viewed as chic and sophisticated? Start a secret society with only your coolest and closest friends.

Steps

1. Get a secret! A secret society has a secret to protect. The Illuminati are said to have a secret plan to take over the world (and is said to already be working).
2. Read a few clique-like books for some background information. Get any number of your friends to read these books. Privately talk with one of your closest friends whom you know will love the idea of starting a secret society.
3. Think of a name. You and your closest friend should discuss what your secret society should be called. Also discuss who you will induct. Remember, even if you have a large group of (really good) friends, not all of them are secret society material. They won’t find out, as it is a secret society.
4. Conduct a proper initiation for you and your closest friend. This should be done before you initiate others. That way, you are sure to come up with a good idea. The initiation is one of the most important parts of the society. It has to be something neither of you would do normally. Candle-lighting sets a serious and official tone, whereas something like streaking or alcohol may spice it up a little.
5. Figure out what your society does. There have to be rules. Set a schedule for fun things you can do, ie. dressing alike on certain days, or having monthly rituals. Have fun with it! It’s all about your creativity.
6. Find potential members. Subtly drop something related to your secret in a conversation with a friend to figure out how they feel about it. Make sure there’s no possibility they ever betray you, make sure they will be okay with the rules. Don’t mention your secret society until you are absolutely sure they can be completely trusted.
7. Induct your members. Invite your friends to a sleepover and then spring it on them. They will be surprised and excited, and thrilled because they are special.
8. An important thing in secret societies is to meet in secret, that means meeting in a new place every time.
9. Make a dress code. Most small secret societies use robe while large ones, like the Freemasons, have complex mason aprons. (Rhyme not intended).
10. Keep quiet and have fun. Your friends and you will be even closer than ever.

Warnings

• If you are only choosing certain friends amongst a clique, be prepared to deal with questions if one of your unchosen friends finds out about your secret society; have answers and excuses meticulously prepared!
• Delete your history so that nobody finds this web page.
• Don’t base the society on any cults. Satanists sacrifice children, the Assasins would kill anybody on command, even themselves, and then there’s that weird cult where teenagers drink juice with cyanide to kill themselves.
