Metallica had a good idea

quick transcription from “until the studioshit load”:

1) when this album does a hundred thousand times more than the Alice in Chains one, then you can party all you fuckin’ want
2) you can buy Jerry fuckin’ huge rocks to climb up together, man
1) you’ll be buying him all kinds of shit
3) all sorts of drinks
1) you’ll be flying him wherever you want
2) you guys have keggers with kegs of gin
(laughter)
1) gin keg
2) a little guy on top
3) we should have one of those in the dressing room on the next tour
1) that would be great! gin keg, chilled, totally chilled
3) yeah
2) it looks just like a bottled water bottle, about three times the size
1) got glasses, like, soaking in vermouth. just pull ‘em out, kind of shake ‘em (makes spitting sound). A little olive container - we’ll be stylin’!
3) we’ll be able to do like
2) olive tree
3) one show a week
1) yeah! that’s it!

Boss. Gin kegs, a little vermouth fountain to chill the glasses, and an olive tree.

Something collides off Seattle shores

Not sure what - apparently a boat bearing some sort of porcine cargo:

He says witnesses on board the sailboat say the motorboat came at them full boar and that it didn’t appear the driver of the motorboat let up on the throttle.
