PERIODICALLY USEFUL
While we call this set “periodically useful,” we have to admit that keeping your money and your pants in place are pretty useful skills all the time. And if you’ve ever wanted to quiz yourself on the elements while paying for gas or putting your pants on, we have the ultimate gift set for you.
This canvas wallet and belt set will help you remember the symbols for Astatine, Phosphorus, Cesium, Barium, Lead, Hydrogen, Lithium, Titanium, Aluminum, Fluorine, Helium, Beryllium, Argon, Nickel, Calcium, Potassium, Bromine, Indium, Carbon, Silver, Xenon, Radium, Francium, Radon, Gold, Sulfur, Gallium, Chlorine, Neon, Nitrogen, Magnesium, Sodium, Iron, Rubidium, Oxygen, Thallium, Zinc, Strontium, Krypton, Iodine, Ununseptium (now known as Tennessine – Go Vols!), and Tin. After all, who ever remembers that Sn = tin? Not us, that’s for sure.
Kitchen Nightmares!
On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge.
Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food.
First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly.
Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope
