Freddy Heineken’s Contribution To The World: Beer Bottle Masonry
…The idea of turning waste into useful products came to life brilliantly in 1963 with the Heineken WOBO (world bottle). Envisioned by beer brewer Alfred Heineken and designed by Dutch architect John Habraken, the “brick that holds beer” was ahead of its ecodesign time, letting beer lovers and builders alike drink and design all in one sitting.
This is masonry. Each course is restrained by the male/female neck/punt connection, but the glass frogs (the bumps on the tops and bottom sides of the bottle) don’t provide a lot of friction, so some method of vertical reinforcement is required. Can’t tell how they anchored it to the foundation, or how they attached the roof framing.
I suppose it works in regions with few earthquakes, no serious windloads, and for people who really like green beer bottle natural lighting.
Furry Meatblob, done to perfection.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ME BLOOGIES!
Amazing. Just one year ago this exact same thing happened.
However, if you exceeded your level of tolerance last night and you cringe at having to prepare something to eat for the Bowl Bowl Games, you’ve come to the right place.
Bunk’s Chili is 1 hour prep, 1 hour leaving it alone, one hour nap, and you’re good to go.
Happy New Year!
New Year’s Eve 2019
May you have peace, liberty, prosperity, and allow yourselves to consume and enjoy massive quantities of stuff that causes tumors in rats.
Rock on.

Ringing In The New Hotlinks
If truth bothers you, don’t watch this.
Mouse trap design from pre-1590AD works.
Rediscovered this cool video of a Murmeration.
Nice collection of sailing songs links and inks.
To alpacas, hedgehogs seem like mysterious beings full of mystery and wonder.
Parking para perros [via]. It’s a clever idea for people who ride their dogs around town, but who knows if the dogs like it.
Breaking news / bombshell / tipping point / the walls are closing in / the beginning of the end. They’re called Talking Heads for a reason.
This attractive young woman took a DNA test and found that she has mostly European ancestry, and she’s upset about it. Perhaps it’s a hoax advert?
Recent E-Mail convo went kinda like this:
“Give me a precise number.”
“I can’t do that for liability reasons.”
“All I want is a general range.”
“Here you go.”
“Ha ha. No, I mean a ballpark figure.”
“Here you go.”
“I meant average.”
“Here you go.”
“Bite me.”
Bunkessa signed up her uncle for “Dip Of The Month Club” as a Christmas present.
I guess that means that on the first of every month some new goober is going to show up at his door. “Hiya! Here I am! Where’s your refrigerator? Can I use your phone? I need to borrow your car for a few days. Can we watch ‘The Brady Bunch?’ Oops! I hope that don’t stain your carpet.” etc.
On the other hand, maybe it has to do with Skoal…
BTW – According to this informal poll, “The Little Drummer Boy” is tied with “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” for the No.1 Christmas song you could live without.
Saturday Matinee – Aluminum & Mercury Amalgamation, Capybara Soul & Leon Redbone
Okay. I’m impressed. The timelapse is killer.
Eddie Murphy‘s James Brown‘s Capybara Hot Tub is awesome [via].
Everybody needs some Leon once in a while, so there you go.
Have a great holiday weekend, folks, see y’all back here tomorrow.
The .Gif Friday Post No. 565 – PeePal Pup
Man says to the dog, “I once had a dog so stupid he lifted both legs to pee.”
Dog says to the man, “Hold my beer.”
[Original .Gif found here. Yeah, I usually post three, but that one stands on its own.]
