Shipyard Pumpkinhead is BACK!

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Me and Dyna just attended a welcome home party for Shipyard’s seasonal Pumpkinhead Ale. It’s something we look forward to all year (I think I still have some in my fridge from the stock-up last year…)

If you happen to be a fan of Pumpkinhead, pumpkin flavored brews, or just fall stuff in general, get ready to hit your local Shipyard reseller. This stuff rules.

Beware: Samsung Offering Lame “Rebate”

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

I’ve had my eye on a 46″ Samsung LCD HDTV for a while now. According to Consumer Reports, it’s the best TV in its size range and its price on Amazon had dropped to $1,399.98…roughly $300 cheaper than at Best Buy. This morning, I checked the product listing on Amazon again and saw a brand new “$200 Rebate” offer. I immediately signed up for the Amazon credit card (to get 24 months no interest financing) and ordered that thing. Then I downloaded the PDF for the “rebate.” (more…)

Daddy’s Little Girl

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Nothing beats the quality time you can spend with your loved ones.  It has been proven over time, that a dad and his daughter always build a special bond.  There are all of those special times that will happen over her life time.  The wearing of makeup, the first boys to come to the house, the prom dresses, the graduations, wedding day, and ……. breaking down and re-building “with function check” an AR-15 machine gun in only 53 seconds.  Whooo ha!

Beer Goggles Confirmed. The Real Mystery: Why Weren’t We Tapped for This Experiment?

Monday, August 25th, 2008

“Scientists” have declared that the so-called beer goggle effect that has been a friend to so many butterfaces is, in fact, real.

Surprisingly, the beer goggles effect was not limited to just the opposite sex among the ostensibly straight volunteers recruited for the study — they also rated people from their own sex as more attractive.

The last part of that quote is just about enough to make even the straightest of dudes swear off beer. I’m drinking alone from now on.

The Real Alex Trebek

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I caught this vintage Alex Trebek outtake footage. It is classic. He just resurrects Ron Burgundy images in my head. I can’t quite tell what he is drinking, but I have a sneaky feeling it is cans of Milwaukee’s Best. He just seems like the type that would drink ‘The Beast’.

Here’s to you Trebek. I just got that much more respect for you. (NSFW)

The Best Graduation Speech, Ever.

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Patton Oswalt is a comedian.  A fairly funny one as well.  But apparently he gives really really good graduation speeches. I can’t think of any other man I’d want to mold the minds of today’s high school graduates.  Enjoy the read.  I did.

First off, I want to thank the teachers and faculty of Broad Run High School for first considering and then inviting me to speak here.   It was flattering, I am touched and humbled, and you have made a grave mistake.

I’m being paid for this, right?   Oh, wait, there’s some advice, right off the bat – always get paid.   If you make enough money in this world you can smoke pot all day and have people killed.

I’m sorry, that was irresponsible.

You shouldn’t have people killed. (more…)

The Tiddy Bear….Commence Giggling

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

I’m not sure what’s worse, this product, this product’s name, this product’s name associated with children, or the fact I giggled like a little school girl every time they said Tiddy Bear. Hehe.

Gitty for Heroes

Friday, August 15th, 2008

We are so close to my favorite time of the year.  Fall!  Football, cooler weather, and new episodes of TV!  I was shown the new trailer for Heroes and I’m in total fall TV mode.  Lets get done with these Olympics and on to Hayden Panettiere jumping around and kicking ass.

The Ultimate NES Collection for Sale

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

This is quite impressive. It’s a picture from an ebay auction. This collection contains EVERY NES game released plus a couple of games that never hit circulation.

This has me a little jealous and wanting to hook up my Nintendo and play a little California Games. Nothing beats playing the roller skating game and watching that bitch trip over an ice cream cone and face plant.

So if you are feeling a little cheeky, the entire collection only costs $3800. Click Here
