We’re Not Dead!
I know you were all worried that we were dead and gone. Or maybe you weren’t. Anyways, this is just a brief note to let you know that all is well. We’ve just been really really busy. Hopefully we’ll be able to get back to work soon.
Anyone who has known me for a few years knows that The Matador is my default bar of choice in Orlando. One of the main reasons is that it was opened by three friends of mine, all of whom have known me since I was knee-high to a grasshopper (that means I was really young). Don’t let that bias affect your perception of this review, however, because this is easily one of the best bars downtown Orlando has to offer. More...

Here’s a giant map of the US that shows what states have the best beer. The data is based on “Great American Beer Festival medal winners 1987-2007.” I’m booking my flight to California as we speak…and I may never see any of you again so farewell. Click here to see the full-size map.

I’ve never paid close attention to the Guinness Book of World Records. I guess I never gave a crap how big a ball of rubber bands could be. But this record is something I can get behind. House of the Dead: Overkill, a raunchy new zombie shooting game for the Nintendo Wii, has been inducted into the book for using the F-word more than any other video game ever; 189 times to be exact. Well done, Sega. I guess you’re good for something besides destroying my childhood memories with horrific Sonic the Hedgehog games.

Olivia Wilde is one of the reason some dudes (like Dyna) watch House on Fox. Yes, it’s a good show…but don’t kid yourself. Ranking in at #8 on our Top 10 Chicks of Prime Time list (and admittedly deserving a higher rank), she’s also been called the doppelganger of Megan Fox. In fact, Miss Fox has somewhat of a girl-crush on Olivia. I believe the quote from GQ goes something like:
“I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl — Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing.”
So, you’re welcome for that. Olivia Wilde is 25. Read »
Dyna found this story posted on Craigslist. It’s pretty freakin’ funny so we just had to put it up here.
“I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. Read »

You’d have to be one hell of a geek to drop $30-$40 on a bottle of Star Trek-branded fragrance. I guess with the new movie coming out this year, the marketers are out in force trying to get the brand in your face. But seriously…cologne? I guess Captain Kirk had to smell pretty good when he was seducing green women. If it’s good enough for Bill Shatner, count me in.

I’ve talked about my band megaphone on here before. In the past, I’ve preferred to keep my personal life separate from my Average Dudes life, but right now we could use all the help we can get. The local rock radio station here in Orlando is having a contest to determine who the “Best Band in Central Florida” is. Now, personally I don’t think that the number of votes a band can drum up accurately determines how good they are, but I didn’t make the rules.
Anyways, if you could take a second and go vote for us, that would rule. This thing has been going on for about a month now and they’ve narrowed it down to 8 bands. Voting for this round only lasts through Sunday, March 8th so if you’re going to do it, do it quickly! If we move on to the next round, that will begin on Monday the 9th and there will only be 4 bands left. Here’s the link to vote. Just click the bubble next to “Megaphone - Gravitate” (you can listen to the track if you like), fill in a valid email address at the bottom, then watch your inbox for the confirmation email. The vote won’t count until it’s confirmed and it may go to a spam box so look hard for it! Also, if you wouldn’t mind getting some friends to vote too, that would be great. Thanks!
One of probably two movies I’ll actually see in the theater this year. (Watchmen being the other)
A Wisconsin man was sitting peacefully by himself in his apartment watching a really loud porno movie when suddenly his downstairs neighbor kicked open the door, put a three-foot sword to his face and yelled, “Where is she?!” Apparently the neighbor thought that a girl was being raped and he forced the dude at sword-point to open all the rooms in his apartment to prove that it was only the TV.
While I commend the neighbor for trying to save a rape victim, I have two questions: What’s with the sword? And what the hell kind of porn is that guy watching that it sounds like rape? That’s just wrong. You can check out the local news report (which the reporters seem to find fairly humorous) at the source.
