YYY Show Your Bones....With Relish! Contest
 FEATURED CONTEST: YEAH YEAH YEAHS Aiight, so I'm probably the 7 billionth blogger to run a contest for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs new LP - The aptly titled Show Your Bones, to which someone recently described to me as "Deceased." Bite your tongue naysayers. I have only heard a handful of tracks off the album, but by and large they weren't half bad. There are some pretty kick ass remixes circulating the web too. Anyone who knows me knows I heart Karen and the gang as if they were my own children with awesome art deco haircuts. Yes Yes, This is indeed yet another YYY freebie. However, I feel that by running A Yeah Yeah Yeahs Contest on this fair blog I can help bring to light a subject that is very dear to my heart -HOLLANDAISE. (Plus Come'On! Who could ever get sick of FREE STUFF!) The rules for this contest are simple. TO ENTER: Hit me with your best recipe which includes the ingredient Hollandaise in the comments section. If you dont know what it is click here. My roommate and I will tirelessly create every dish and present them to a panel of judges (largely consisting of members of the homeless population in Koreatown) and a winner will be selected. the best recipe will win a copy of Show Your Bones and a WIRE WISK!! Considering only 6 people (2 of which were me) entered the Dirty Little Secret contest this should be a snap. COME ON NOW YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONLY PERSON OUT THERE WITHOUT A WISK! ENTER NOW!

Are you guys willing to ship out of country? say to Canada? ;)
LUMP OF HOLLANDAISE
enter a restaurant that uses hollandaise sauce in their cooking. ask for some hollandaise sauce to go. when they look at you strangely, insist that you've done this many times before, and that if they aren't willing to accept your business you'll gladly give it to a more friendly restaurant. other techniques of negotiation can be employed, such as saying you'll make it "very worth their while" and refusing to explain what that means.
once you have negotiated the deal, take the hollandaise sauce out into the parking lot and eat it on the curb, in plain view of the people who just sold it to you. during the consumption you can either pretend to be violently ill or pretend to be orgasmically happy with your meal.
I can ship out of the country I dont mind :-P
