A Man’s Guide to Dry Cleaning
5 Nov 2009 | 7:27 pmImage from Millie Motts Why should a man care about dry cleaning? When your expensive clothing is damaged or lost, what can you do? I’m sure many of you reading this have been burned when it comes to having a garment come back missing buttons, torn, or in the worst case scenario-doesn’t come back at all. You may have purchased your suit for $2,000, but if it vanishes you’ll be lucky to see 1/10th of that. The key to preventing a loss is up-front preparation – which we’ll discuss below. Dry cleaning your clothing unnecessarily shortens the usable life of your garments. -
Lessons in Manliness: Jimmy Stewart
4 Nov 2009 | 7:03 pmShare “His type is as normally average as the hot dog and pop at Coney Island. He is good looking without being handsome, quiet without being a bore, ambitious without taking either himself or his job too seriously and unassuming without being dull. Stewart’s growing appeal has sometimes been difficult to peg. He’s no Gable and certainly has none of the qualities of a Valentino. A sixteen-year-old fan seems to have hit it when she wrote to him, ‘I like you because you’re like the boy next door.”-1938 MGM biography of James Stewart James “Jimmy” Stewart was an… -
Toolmanship: How to Use a Handsaw
3 Nov 2009 | 6:34 pmShare Today we return to our monthly series called Toolmanship. The goal of this series is to pass on the basics of tool use to a generation of men who never got around to learning how to be handy. In this edition, we take a look at how to properly use a handsaw. We’ll give a rundown on the different types of handsaws out there and tips to get you sawing like a carpenter. Crosscut Saw or Rip Saw Before you put saw to wood, you need to determine what sort of saw you’ll need for your job. In the pantheon of saws, two basic designs exist: the crosscut saw and the rip saw. Which one you use… -

There was once a time when a man with a cigar in his mouth was held in high regard; a time when a young man toasted farewell to adolescence by igniting the end of a cigar that “just happened” to slip out of his father’s humidor. A time where the arrival of a man’s progeny was celebrated with cigars in the hospital’s waiting room. A time when one could find a guillotine right alongside a man’s… -

Vaseline Men Body & Face Lotions
6 Nov 2009 | 6:09 pmJust in time for the cold weather is the Vaseline MEN Body and Face Lotion collection. I always believe that the best beauty secret is to “moisturize, moisturize, moisturize”.

Under $100 G by GUESS Black Jackets
4 Nov 2009 | 10:05 amGenuine leather jackets are nice to have and invest in but sometimes it’s also ok to go faux leather or what the fashion industry call, “pleather”. They are more affordable and you’re also helping the eco lifestyle. G by GUESS have a few pleather black jackets that are stylish, functional and under $100 each. This is a Broadway Hooded Jacket that’s only $99.50. It’s a combination of a comfortable hoodie and a jacket. It also features rib knit waist and hem. There are enough lined pockets to keep the hands warm and cozy. This one is called Epiphany Jacket. -
The Tie Or Die Contest Winner Is..
3 Nov 2009 | 5:18 pmRemember the Tie or Die contest between two friends/co-worker for the whole month of October that I told you about a few weeks ago? Well, the winner has been announced and it is… …Ryan Brown. Total score was : Jon Fruman won 8 days while Ryan Brown won 14 days. Ryan Brown was my pick from the beginning. He was more creative in incorporating other items in his outfits with the neckties. Items like blazers, cardigans, vests, hats, and even umbrellas. Not to mention the humorous accessories and poses which made me laughed out loud every time I visited the site. To Jon’s credit,… -
Marine Layer Shirts
2 Nov 2009 | 4:01 pmYou love the your favorite brands of Polo Shirts, or T-Shirts like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, just to name a couple. Here is another new brand that you might want to take a look at. It’s called Marine Layer. It’s not new actually. It has been around for a while. But, they just launched a new collection of eco-friendly casual shirts and a spanking brand new e-commerce site for an online store. ‘ The eco-friendly shirts are interestingly sized as “in-between”. That means it’s not quite small or medium. Just Smedium or Marge for in between medium and Large. -

Group eCard that Multiple People Can Sign
5 Oct 2009 | 5:33 pmIf you’ve ever had to sign a birthday card for a co-worker by passing around a “manila envelope”, then you know what a silly process it is. Most of the time the recipient knows it’s coming and it’s really just a formality. This is why you’ll like GroupGreeting.com, a free service that allows you to create a digital group card that multiple people can sign and share from anywhere in the world. By creating a group greeting card, you can have the whole office, team or group of friends sign a card for an individual without having to pass around a physical card. -
G.I. JOE The Rise of Cobra The Game Review
28 Aug 2009 | 11:10 amI’ve never been a fan of games made in conjunction with a movie, but a few weeks ago I was tapped to review GI JOE The Rise of Cobra the game and couldn’t help but be excited. You must understand though that I grew up in the eighties and so for me GI JOE represents not only countless childhood cartoon watching, but also it’s a chance for the powers that be (studio heads and game makers) to redeem themselves after having already thoroughly destroyed the Transformers franchise. After 30 minutes of playing: After watching the game intro, I already knew I was in trouble. The… -
Axe Hair Wants You to Have Girl-Approved Hair

AXE, the popular grooming line which you’ve come to know now has a line of AXE Hair care products aimed at giving you “girl-approved hair.” The line includes 5 new shampoos, a conditioner, and styling products that are designed to take your hair care to the next level.

G.I. JOE The Rise of Cobra The Game
6 Aug 2009 | 11:16 amAt long last, the G.I. JOE The Rise of Cobra movie is out this week. Reviews so far have been sparse as Paramount hasn’t let the critics see the flick. Along with the movie release, Electronic Arts is releasing its G.I. JOE game version simultaneously. The game will be available across multiple platforms, including Playstation 2 & 3, Xbox 360, PSP, Nintendo Wii & DS. I really hope G.I. Joe the movie or game does not suck. I am still trying to recover from how Transformers was trashed and hope GIJ does not suffer the same fate with the movie or game. As soon as we get our hands…

Self-Serving...but True, Too
2 Nov 2009 | 10:47 amOriginally, I wanted to title this post: "S#!% Rolls Down Hill"; but in the interests of decorum I decided that headline should never see the light of day. Luckily, Reuters wrote up an article about my thoughts over the weekend, so I can reference that instead. The topic refers to the state of retail inventory as we enter the busiest season of the year. Basically, with retail sales falling off a cliff last Fall, many retailers and manufacturers were caught with far too much inventory in their stores or warehouses relative to what people were willing to buy. After all, retailers were… -
$100 Gift Certificate to the Best Manspace
29 Oct 2009 | 1:57 pmBay Area residents remotely involved in the high-tech sector are undoubtedly familiar with TED. Short for "Technology, Entertainment, Design", the first conferences were about world-changing ideas in those 3 fields. To be invited to the TED conference was/is a big deal; I have never been invited, and yes I am bitter about it. Today, TED presentations cover a slightly wider array of topics, but I'm certainly not complaining after having watched Sam Martin's presentation on "Manspaces". There's nothing particularly revolutionary about the idea, but if you've ever built… -
Hug Your Men's Store
27 Oct 2009 | 6:23 pmIn my formative college years as a student radical at Berkeley -- ed. note: I was not a radical at Berkeley, but a widespread perception tends to be that anyone at Berkeley was a radical -- I had the distinct pleasure of working at a traditional men's store called George J. Good which was considered a minor Berkeley institution. The store opened in 1930 just across the street from the campus back when young men wore three-piece suits, hats, and smoked pipes during class! The store outfit generations of students, faculty, staff, and briefly, even football coach Steve Mariucci before he left… -
Deal of the Day on Facebook

But only recently, after a meeting of tribal elders and a dartboard, did we realize how we could most effectively leverage our Fan page. The answer: a "Deal of the Day"-like feature.

Why They Call It Timeless
13 Sep 2009 | 6:18 pmLast Fall, Bills Khakis introduced their first casual jacket called the Colby Jacket. It was a Barracuda-style jacket done in their Driving Twill fabric in their British Khaki color, and while it seemed classic at the time - like everything they do - I was reminded how classic it was last week. While watching the original Thomas Crown Affair from 1968, featuring Steve McQueen & Faye Dunaway, there are a few scenes where McQueen is wearing a pair of plain front khakis and a blue Barracuda-style jacket. Forty-plus years later and the first thing I did after the movie ended was shoot Bills…

Put it up on the door to your child's room over night and see what they say the next morning when they spot it. Enjoy -Stef ps.: If you haven't seen District 9 - go and see it. It's awesome (definitely not suitable for children under 16 I'd say though) -
Wife Approval Tip #5 - her illness, your opportunity
5 Nov 2009 | 12:37 amHaving your wife under the weather can be quite a chore, especially if you have to look after the kids as well. Fetch me this, go get me that, wipe my nose, scratch my feet – it can all get a little tiring. However, the wise Dadget-lovers amongst you will sense a fantabulous Dadget purchasing opportunity. A sick wife is a helpless wife, and any temporary illness is a perfect time to ask approval for the Dadget that would ordinarily be out of your reach. I especially recommend selecting the ‘drowsy’ variant of any medication so that she’ll be even more amenable to your request. BONUS… -
Guest blog - Michael Baron
3 Nov 2009 | 11:41 pmI’ve been writing nonfiction books for many years now, everything from parenting to politics. When I decided that I needed to write about fatherhood, however, I turned to fiction. I remember seeing a Jerry Seinfeld stand-up routine a while back where he talked about the difference between nonfiction and fiction. He said that bookstores should actually be divided between “truth” (nonfiction) and “lies” (fiction). With all due respect, I have to disagree. We’ve heard plenty of stories in recent years about writers embellishing their memoirs with all kinds of lies. And, for me,… -
A Dad's Point of View - Who Said Marriage Should be Work
2 Nov 2009 | 7:58 pmI recently learned some statistics that surprised me, but upon reflection they really made sense. What do you think the rate of divorce is between first, second, and third marriages? Think about it. I didn’t and came to the wrong conclusion. It’s pretty much agreed by most experts that first marriages end in divorce about 40-50% of the time. What surprised me is that the divorce rate increases with second marriages to something like 60% and more, while third marriages end in divorce at least 70% of the time. My first gut reaction was that we would have learned from prior mistakes, we’d… -

Cold Weather Workouts Help Me Train Harder
2 Nov 2009 | 7:50 amFinally! I’m so glad the cold weather is starting to settle-in down here in Florida. Maybe it’s because I can’t stand sweating profusely, but I find that working out in the cold helps me train harder. I think back to my football days and reminisce about practicing in the cold. We’d get out of practice without breaking a sweat, or so it seemed. We did sweat, but it wasn’t as bad as during the Summer. When I’m working out in the cold I feel like Rocky. Remember that scene when he has a full beard and is carrying a log? Or was it dragging it? Well,… -

A Tip or Two for Motivation…
26 Aug 2009 | 9:03 pmIt is no secret that getting motivated to work out is sometimes as easy as threading a camel through the eye of a needle. We all have things going on: errands to run, dinners to cook; and fitting a workout into the schedule can be nearly impossible. But if you find something that you enjoy and look forward to, it will be easier for you to make time for it. We all make time to eat; mostly because it is a fabulous pastime. But the other end of the spectrum is oftentimes harder to enjoy. By taking part in an exercise routine that you loathe, chances are slim that you will continue to do it. What…

A Bear Without Hair Is The Saddest Thing
6 Nov 2009 | 2:41 pmWhat’s the saddest thing you’ve ever seen? A child who’s just been told that there is no Santa, then hit with the pancakes you made him for breakfast? A child building a tiny house of Legos for his pet bird, when it’s attacked by a hawk? A crying Native American? Wrong. A bear without hair is the saddest thing. Specifically, Dolores the bear. Granted, I’ve never seen a bear in the wild, only in captivity. For surely, if I saw a bear, I would wrestle it to the ground using my brute strength, then remove its hair to make a duvet. But I’m not the one removing… -

See You
5 Nov 2009 | 6:39 amSome people claim to be visited by heaven right here on earth. They say they’ve seen this world transformed before their eyes; they’ve seen scraps of God all over everything. The serious Puritan preacher Jonathan Edwards: “The appearance of everything was altered; there seemed to be, as it were, a calm, sweet cast, or appearance of divine glory, in almost everything. God’s excellency, his divine wisdom, his purity and love, seemed to appear in everything; in sun, moon and stars; in clouds and blue sky; in the grass, flowers and trees; in the water and all nature; which… -
Help Us Help Them
3 Nov 2009 | 11:29 amThe General Motors factory here in Spring Hill, Tennessee will be shutting down in two weeks. That’ll leave about 3000 people without work. Many of those people will come to The Well, a food pantry in our community, for help until they can find more work. The problem is The Well doesn’t have the funds necessary to meet such a huge need. It’s barely able to meet the present demand for help in our area. So, on November 15th at 6PM Ginny Owens, Randall Goodgame, Cindy Morgan and I are playing a benefit concert at Thompson Station Baptist Church called Sing For Their Supper. -

Her Neglect Killed one Child; Now She Wants Custody of Other Two
6 Nov 2009 | 4:28 pmHe was divorced. She had custody. But she had problems with drinking and drugs. So he reported her repeatedly to Child Protective Services which took no action. One day his ex got drunk and passed out, leaving their four-year-old daughter trapped inside a car in the hot Arizona summer. The little girl, Haley Gray, died. Read about it here (KPHO, 11/04/09). The father, John Gray, sued Arizona CPS for their negligence in failing to heed his warnings about his ex-wife's irresponsible and dangerous behavior. He won a $400,000 judgment.

Slate.com & Salon.com Attack the Fatherhood Movement (Part I)
6 Nov 2009 | 8:41 amTwo major online publications--Salon.com and Slate.com--recently did articles about the men's and fathers movement. The articles discuss various aspects and actors in the movement, and also quote and misquote me. This series of posts will comment on the articles and also straighten out certain misrepresentations. Kathryn Joyce of Slate.com is a feminist writer who has written much about what she calls the "Christian patriarchy" movement. She told me she was doing a story about George Sodini, who she (accurately) describes as "the Pittsburgh man who opened fire on a gym full of exercising… -
NYT Article Nails Many Fatherhood Issues
6 Nov 2009 | 6:52 amBetter late than never. This article could have been gleaned word for word from GlennSacks.com pieces over the past few months (New York Times, 11/2/09). They didn't mention us, so I'm sure it's all original material. I wonder if their other writers will read it and remember what it says the next time they're moved to produce the type of anti-dad screed that seems de rigueur at the "paper of record." It's a good piece. It even discovers Sara McLanahan and the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study that I've reported on several times. McLanahan is excellent herself and everyone… -
Here it Is! The Solution to the Problem of Falling Male College Enrollment
5 Nov 2009 | 5:43 pmI suppose it had to happen, but I certainly didn't see it coming. This article informs us that a number of colleges in the Northwest are restarting football programs, not because their teams had much success in the past or because current students particularly want them, but in the hopes of attracting male enrollees (The Oregonian, 11/3/09). A couple of the schools the article refers to have under 40% male enrollment at the undergraduate level, and apparently that's cause for concern, at least to some. The dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Pacific University cautiously… -
Global Gender Gap Report III: Women's Advocacy = Gender Neutrality
5 Nov 2009 | 11:23 amI've dealt with the categories of Education, and Health and Survival in the Global Gender Gap Report, which I assume Barbara Kay would prefer I call the Global Women's Interests Gap Report, since that would be less misleading. But I think I won't. Here it is again (WEForum, 2009). The Report includes two other categories, Economic Participation and Opportunity, and Political Empowerment. It also includes a miscellaneous category called Additional Data. Frankly, I'm not sure where they came up with some of these numbers. For example, the Report informs us that, in the U.S., 56%…

Obama Declares National Emergency Because of H1N1 Flu
25 Oct 2009 | 10:38 amWith over 1000 deaths attributed to H1N1 flu staring us all in the face and long lines for what little H1N1 flu vaccine that is available, President Obama has declared H1N1 flu a national emergency. A spokesman from the Obama Administration equates this declaration to local state of emergencies that are declared before a hurricane hits land. With the growing number and rate of infections, and the threat of H1N1 flu cases overwhelming the healthcare system in some communities, this declaration allows a more rapid response and movement of resources to areas that need them. While a little over… -
FDA Panel Approves HPV Vaccine for Boys
24 Oct 2009 | 3:01 pmThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given its approval for boys age 9 to 26 to receive the HPV vaccine Gardasil. The vaccine has been in use with females 9 to 26 since 2006. HPV, also known as human papillomavirus can cause cervical cancer in women. In men HPV can lead to anal cancers and genital warts. While there are dozens of strains of HPV, Gardasil targets the 4 that most commonly cause cancers and rectal warts. Ideally, the vaccine is gotten before becoming sexually active since that is the way HPV is transmitted. Note that for now, Gardasil use in boys is only being considered… -

A Brand Moving Upwards: Perrelet Introduces Three Semi-Skeletonized Split Second Chronographs
6 Nov 2009 | 6:01 amWhen we spent some time with Perrelet's rainmaker, the Turbine, a few months back, we were shocked by just how much attention it got on the streets of NYC. It was like we had a topless Jennifer Love Hewitt on our wrist (in the 90s). As a follow up to the Turbine, Perrelet recently announced three split-second chronographs clearly aimed at the same buyers as the Turbine. The new Perrelets feature an in-house P-241 movement and what we like the best about this watch is that discs have replaced the hands, allowing you to see even more of the skeletonized movement. These things look… -
An Original Vintage Vulcain Cricket for $550: Give Em Hell Harry Would Be Proud

If you haven't had the pleasure of reading about the watch worn by every US President since Harry Truman (except GW), click here. We also found a really cool Nautical Cricket that, while considerably more expensive than traditional Crickets, has a hell of a look to it and not bad provenance either. Today however we've tracked town a traditional Vulcain Cricket, just like the type worn by Mr. Truman. It features a perfectly functioning mechanical alarm (oh how we… -
1940s Doxa Chronograph: A Company Known For Divers Makes A Mean Chronograph
2 Nov 2009 | 4:53 pmWe haven't given much attention to Doxa here on Hodinkee. No slight intended, they're just not really our thing. Hard to say why really, especially with such a lengthy list of horological firsts. And by that we mean one definite first (first diving watch with an orange face?) and one debatable first (first production watch with helium escape vale, although most believe Rolex had one built first). So their history isn't exactly the stuff of legends, but it's probably more respectable than we're making it seem (for a serious look at Doxa from our friends at Monochrome,… -

Vintage Longines For Czech Air Force: 1938 Anti-Magnetic With Engraved Case Back
2 Nov 2009 | 6:36 amA lot of the requests we get from our Watch Finder service involve vintage military pieces. People really love timepieces that have true provenance, and the most sure fire way to get a story with your watch is to buy one that has seen some action. It's hard to find an original military watch in good condition that is worth buying, but we came across one in Antiquorum's catalog for their upcoming 35th anniversary auction that we really dig.

Tom Ford set sight on the biggest picture -- the Tom Ford empire.
11 Oct 2009 | 3:57 pmWhat can you do with £30,000,000? It’s enough money for an early retirement supporting a jet set gigolo life of glitz, parties, and ostentation for a good three of four decades. Wise savers would exchange the 30 million for roughly 25,500 shares in Apple, and see their investment yield a prosperous annual increase of 25%. Why not spend the money on an ocean front house in Monecito California, complete with a tennis court and backyard the size of a two football fields, or an epic journey to the international space station? For Tom Ford however, capital of that size would be spent on… -
Memories of last week: Burberry Prorsum Women's SS2010

Women who cry rape will ALWAYS be sent to prison, appeal court warns
31 Oct 2009 | 3:31 pm"Women who cry rape were warned by the Court of Appeal today that prison was 'inevitable' for an offence which attacks the criminal justice system.Rejecting a sentence challenge by a woman jailed for two years after making a false allegation against an innocent man, two senior judges emphasised the impact of such a crime on conviction rates." ReferenceGreat news! But sadly, the judge in question seems to have little concern for falsely-accused men. All he is concerned about is the effect that false accusations have on the conviction rate. Still, it's a good start. -
The Feminist’s Guide To Debate Tactics
30 Oct 2009 | 2:04 pmI wanted to draw your attention to this article on the excellent website The Spearhead:Observing comments made by feminists on MRA blogs – or on any blog or forum post which is even slightly critical of any aspect of feminism – for the last few years has made something very clear: feminists have no idea how to debate.This is probably due to the overwhelming feminist hegemony in educational institutions. Women dominate the teaching profession, particularly in grade school, and all of these women are feminists. Girls have a powerful innate need to please the authority figures in their… -

First they asked me what my definition of feminism* is and then they followed up with a whole series of questions relating to feminism. The whole thing caught me off guard; I usually don't hear the word feminism in public nevermind being probed on the subject by a group of strangers. But their final question was the most surprising and interesting of all. They asked me, "what… -

Our rights are being eroded just as the Jews were in Nazi Germany. Laws that are supposed to be gender neutral are seldom interpreted that way by the courts. Our society is not about getting criminals it is about getting men if it were about getting criminals then women would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law but they aren't. We see how men are systematically denied the right to their own residence via protection orders put up by the wife or girlfriend because… -

How many actually care? How many know their rights are being eroded away? How many are going to take action to stop and reverse this process? How many are going to write their elected leaders and protest this injustice? Not many. Things aren't going to change just because 25 guys are blogging about it you also need to be activist.

These messages are mainly propagandized by women and manginas. They won't make movies depicting men as independent because that will piss off women and we all know that most western men are… -

J. Peterman's Mailbag - The Best Bag Ever?

I am a bag guy; I have lots of different bags, from elegant leather briefs to beat-up nylon messengers.One of my all-time favorites is the Counterfeit Mailbag, from the J. Peterman Company. In fact, it's one of the first bags I ever wrote about and was sent to me by John Peterman himself - it can't really get better than that.The bag, based on the classic leather workhorse lugged across the country by a generation of letter carriers, is simple and classic.

If you look in the dictionary, next to the definition of the word "cool," you'll find a picture of Miles Davis. No word of a lie. From the way he dressed, to the way he acted, to the way he played, the man was just cool, in the most un-ironic ... -

Sharp Drinks: Macallan 57-Year-Old
Scotch is a man’s drink. Leave your wine coolers to girls, beer to the boys; but if you’re a grown man, you drink scotch. And if you’re a man, and you’ve got money to spend, go for a scotch whisky that’s matured for 57 years, the second oldest that famed ...

Raptors give fans a big first night
30 Oct 2009 | 11:40 amBy Andy Charlies Can we start the title talk yet? Well, there were certainly some scribes predicting big things after the Raptors opened the NBA season with a fantastic 101-91 win over the heavily-fancied Cleveland Cavaliers at the Air Canada Center. Even LeBron James, he of the other-worldly stat-lines, couldn’t beat the Raptors on his own as his 23 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists failed to inspire the rest of the roster and meant they dropped to an 0-2 start after losing on opening night to the Boston Celtics. And it would prove to be supposed draft bust Andrea Bargnani who was the… -

Where was the defense?
19 Oct 2009 | 4:04 pmBy Andy Charles Toronto’s undoubted talent has not really come to the party yet in pre-season, but not to worry quite yet because there are still a couple of weeks until the season opener when LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers come to town. But there has been a deal of disappointment so far for the Raptors, not least in the 124-112 home defeat by a Houston side lacking almost all of its star talent and starting a team that would more than likely not even have a chance of starting for the Raptors. Not many NBA Predictions, suggested they would lose – that is for sure. Although the… -

Some Days It’s Really Good To Be Manute Bol
28 Oct 2009 | 11:37 amThere are times in our busy day when we think…“hmm, I wonder what Manute Bol is up to.” And he’s usually posing with some ridiculously small person who looks completely out of place next to the 7 foot 7 former NBA three-point threat. Believe it or not, the guy just turned 47 and seems to not be slowing down. He always has that suit on and a smile on his face. What else has been on Bol’s plate? He’s still raising money for Sudan. If you attend the University of Rochester – and are a Bol fan – it’s your lucky day. November 3: At 7-foot-7,… -
Quarterback Will Briscoe Throws Behind-The-Back 2 Pt. Conversion Pass

Quarterback Will Briscoe throws behind the back hitting wide open Shedrick Davis in the endzone.” Simply amazing but is it really that necessary. Nothing makes Beano Cook angry like a behind the back pass – on purpose. -
Kyle Orton Beer Photo Embargo Lifted, Caught Enjoying A Coors Light
18 Oct 2009 | 12:51 pmAt least he’s drinking the official beer of the NFL. There has been an official rut in the “Kyle Orton Drinking Photos” department over the last 12 months or so. Ever since getting married and moving to Denver, Neckbeard has been laying low and avoiding the spotlight. That would be a major change from his days of pounding Jack, simulated sex on his buddy and getting comfortable behind chicks with implants. Or even his days of playing 2 Girls, 1 Passed Out Kyle Orton. But the embargo seems to have been lifted. The Angry T has discovered Orton back to enjoying an adult… -

You also probably know that he and his freak show family were on the hit/god awful television show Wife Swap. While I use “Freak Show,” in the kindest terms possible, I’m certain it would have been in this kid’s best interest to actually hop in that balloon and float away to a new family. Here’s an article about his crazy ass family. Now here’s an excerpt from that article: According to the ABC ‘Wife Swap’…

Urban Dictionary Term of the Week: Cosby Sweater

Tim Lincecum + Weed = BFF’s

Well, in theory anyway — the young Giants ace was busted earlier tonight while driving around with some cheebs in his car and now faces some serious jail time. Oh wait, what’s that? Right, right. He’s a famous athlete. So, he’ll probably be fined, instead of, you know, going to jail for an unreasonably lengthy amount of time. Seriously though, listen to how this went down: After an officer detected the smell of marijuana, the two-time All-Star complied with a request to turn over 3.3 grams of…

Why Asian Trains are Much Cooler Than Ours
6 Nov 2009 | 7:00 amIf you walk around New York City you’ll notice plenty of ads on buses and other moving vehicles. Advertisers have gotten it straight that if you slap your brand on something people are looking at that it might get noticed. But what about trains? There’s no reason that ads shouldn’t be placed on the OUTSIDE of trains. Why? Because they are just as visible as the inside. Whatever the folks in Japan and China are doing, I like it…. -

She’s Uncoachable: Argentinian Model Melina Pitra

The dyed blond hair beauty is a Sagittarius and her main occupation is modeling and wearing hand bras. Yes, hand bras. You know, when there is no bra and hands are used instead? It’s getting harder and harder to figure out terms for what women do with their breasts. But dammit I hope we all die trying to come up with these phrases. Check out Melina’s Pitras after the jump -
Wearing a High School Musical Blanket During a Robbery Isn’t Exactly Tough

A man, wrapped in a High School Musical blanket, assaulted two men with a flashlight during an attempt to steal money from the Villa Auto Wash kiosk on Aylmer St. on Sept. 16 last year, Ontario Court of Justice heard yesterday. The man approached the kiosk and asked the other two men for change, Crown attorney Jim Hughes said. When one of the other two men cracked open the kiosk’s door, the man burst into the kiosk, Hughes said. “The male indicated he had a weapon underneath the blanket,”…

A simple lesson in cigar branding from Drew Estate
22 Oct 2009 | 4:00 amOver the last several years, cigar brands have started to get more involved in the digital space. Some start and are regularly involved in social networks. Many companies have hopped on the Twitter bandwagon. For the most part, it’s been a desperate game of catch-up in the digital space for what have always been very traditional companies. My buddy, Mike Maddaloni, and I were smoking a couple of Drew Estate Chateau Real cigars last night (here’s the Chateau Real maduro review) when I finally thought about the web URL that Drew Estate prints on the inside of its cigar bands.

Cocktail Classics: A Tribute to the Harvey Wallbanger
5 Nov 2009 | 12:27 pmThere's something to be said for the classics. Classic car design is back in the Camaro, Challenger, Mustang, etc. Classic movies are being remade more and more, and classic men's style is back, thanks in part to the Mad Men. Classic drinks are back in style as well. And just in time. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for creativity behind the bar. But I'm thinking it might be time to retire some of those Purple-Nurple-Fuzzy-Headed-Slut-On-A-Beach-Tinis. Sometimes I just want it simple and straightforward. And old-school cocktails, like the Harvey Wallbanger, deliver. On November 8 bars everywhere… -

Olympus E-P2

Bound to irk some early adopters of the E-P1, the E-P2 continues with the retro goodness, but this time in a much sleeker all-black design, upgraded features that address all the problems and bugs with the E-P1, and upgraded price ($300+ premium over the E-P1). The Micro Four-Thirds Olympus E-P2 new features include a new port to utilize a high resolution electronic viewfinder (included) or external stereo microphone (not included), continuous autofocus tracking in photo or video mode, 8 art… -
2010 Ford Taurus SEL
5 Nov 2009 | 12:20 pmIt’s no secret that American car makers are in the process of reinventing themselves. Their image and their vehicles are being transformed, as well. Admittedly, we’re often enamored with the latest models to arrive at port from Asian and European manufacturers and, for years, our excuse has been that there simply wasn’t much to consider here at home. In other matters, we love all things Americana, but not so in our vehicular lusts. We’re happy to report that, tough as times are, Detroit is starting to change our (hearts and) minds. Whereas it’s tough to put old…

6 Nov 2009 | 1:11 pmWhile Justin was busy covering the closing of his favorite source of childhood pornography, some other, more relevant to us news came out: The Advocate is going away. That's right: just as Hillary now works for Barack, the stalwart of gay media mags is losing it autonomy and becoming an insert to its sister magazine, Out. (There's a pun there.)In a way, it makes sense. The need for a euphemistic title has waned in the last decade (at this point, if you can find a straight person reading The Advocate, they'd probably be fine reading Out too), and more importantly, the internet is killing… -

Making this the THIRD musical they've done about food. I wonder why they don't have other topics to sing about. But hey, not like I mind much. I often say that I wish life were a musical, and Improv Everywhere is working to make that happen.I just hope someday I'll be lucky enough to end up somewhere they are singing. -

A common mistake that a lot of people (especially men) make, is that they seem to think Style=fashion, which ultimately couldn’t be further from the truth. Technically speaking, if a man dressed in everything that seemed to be “fashionable” at the time, he would be in a lot of trouble. Men have it a lot easier than women in a sense, because women do have to keep up with “fashion” to be considered…
