I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Ewwwww.

    -abs would like a unicorn please, or even a fake billboard of a unicorn ….

    • ill lich

      Oh, c’mon, really?  A unicorn chaser for this?  Maybe you should just keep a picture of a unicorn in your pocket for “emergencies.”

      Might I ask to what you are referring in your comment?

  • ChicagoD

    Eh, in retrospect, let’s get white wine.

  • ill lich

    Well, it’s better than a beer mug shaped like a human kidney, I suppose.

    • Teller

      You could use it for beer – Henry Weinhard’s.

      Or maybe a bladder!

    Lovely, but the dishwasher says Do Not Want.

  • Jason Sutor

    I used to work for a cardiac company so I really want this. Any ideas if it is being produced for sale.

    Totally cool idea for red wine

  • zarray

    Now you can mix two different wines and watch your pseudo-sommelier friends have a heart attack.

  • freddiefreelance

    This also works as a double cruet for Red Wine Vinegar & Oil.

    I never drink…wine.

  • awjt

    How much you wanna bet one of these shows up in True Blood?

  • charlesj

    Obviously the two chambers should contain red wine before and after aeration.

  • caitifty

    I’d buy a liver-shaped one.

  • anttio

    Now it is good place to say “I never drink – wine”

    Bummer … of course it was said earlier.
