Samuel Adams has a little-known selection of beers that they like to call “extreme.” Among them are Chocolate Bock (which I need to try), Triple Bock, Hallertau Imperial Pilsner, and…..Utopias. I’ll let them explain:

Truly the epitome of brewing’s two thousand year evolution, Samuel Adams Utopias® offers a flavor not just unlike any other beer but unlike any other beverage in the world. Its warm, sweet flavor is richly highlighted with hints of vanilla, oak and caramel. With an alcohol content of 27% by volume, its complexity and sweet, malty flavor is reminiscent of a deep, rich vintage Port, fine Cognac or aged sherry while being surprisingly light on the palate. And like the world’s finest after-dinner drinks, Samuel Adams Utopias is not carbonated and should be served at room temperature.

Yes, 27% alcohol by volume. That’s 54 proof. Utopias will run you about $130 for a 24 ounce bottle. I know a certain dude who’s having a birthday soon…

That’s right, I’m not wishing dudes a happy Halloween. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the Halloween season. It’s one of my favorite times of the year. But when the actual day rolls around, it doesn’t excite me. I never really pinpointed it until now. Halloween is a day for chicks and little kids.

Chicks get an excuse to dress up in a sexy costume with their friends and go out. Little kids get an excuse to go door to door and get free candy, then go home and pig out until they puke. What do I get? A 25 year old guy can’t go door to door and get candy. That’s just weird. The only options are either to sit at home and hand out candy, dress up like an idiot and go get laughed at, or go out without a costume and take all the crap from people who say you should have dressed up.

So what are your plans for the evening?

Something in my head made me set the deadline for our costume contest on October 30th. Don’t most people get dressed up ON Halloween? So yeah, tonight, take pictures of your horrible costumes and send them to contests@average-dudes.com! Photos must be received by November 2nd at 11:59PM. DO IT!!!!

And check out the contest post for more info.

Gizmodo got a peak at the Sears Black Friday ad for this year and it’s looking pretty sweet. Some of the more notable deals include a Sharp 46-inch 1080p LCD for $899, a TomTom GPS unit for $99 and a Samsung Blu-ray player for $199.

People are saying that with the crap economy we’re facing right now, Black Friday deals will be insane to try and move products. I say, crap…that means another Thanksgiving night freezing my balls off in a parking lot with Dyna playing video games and drinking black coffee with whiskey in it. Wait..that rules. Ok I’m in. Check out the full list after the break. (more…)

Sarah Carter has had a low-key but successful career in films and television. She was in Final Destination 2, but got killed off pretty early. She had a small role in Entourage (she drove the guys to the Sundance film festival), and she was in Shark on CBS. She’s turning 28 today….and she’s Canadian. Just in case you were curious.

I’m no basketball expert, but dudes don’t usually play while wearing sweats do they?

What isn’t seen in this video is while these bears are being cute and getting food, their buddies are breaking into these tourist cars and stealing their stereos.  Idiot patrons.
