Wow, is it already Thanksgiving? No…it’s not even Halloween yet. But that doesn’t stop people from freaking out about Black Friday deals. Sears already let theirs slip and holy crap do they have a bunch of HDTVs on sale. Here’s a list of the TVs and a link to the full ad: (more…)

Consider this a pat on the back to all the dudes out there who will be spending the day/night trying to make some chick happy. We hope it’s worth it. If you’re stuck for ideas, our V-Day post last year was fairly helpful. Good luck out there.

I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for squirrels. I know, they’re just rats with bushy tails, but those tails make all the difference. Someone decided that January 21st is Squirrel Appreciation Day. Who am I to say no? So today, take a look out your window and enjoy the little bastards chasing each other around. Just don’t feed them. They get crazy when they’re fed.

And if you want more ridiculously cute squirrel pictures, check out Sugar Bush Squirrel’s official website. It’s the worst site ever and I’m sure the woman who runs it is some insane animal collector, but the pictures are pretty damn cute.

You know how Facebook is like a huge web of useless crap? Well some dude created an event for January 14th called “Slap Your Spouse On The Ass Day” and it has 544 confirmed guests. The official rules state that “it can be your spouse, significant other, flame, booty call….it doesn’t matter.” Sounds like a pretty sweet holiday to me.

So grab your special lady, or dude if you swing that way, and give ‘em a good slap on the ass…and make them call you Dyna.

2008 is in the books and we’re officially into 2009. Rather than take a look back at 2008, I like to look back 10 years to see what was happening. Here’s a small list of events that took place in 1999.

• The Denver Broncos won their second Super Bowl in a row.
• Napster debuted in June.
• Apple released the first iBook in June and the Power Mac G4 in August.
• The Sega Dreamcast was launched in September (which isn’t mentioned on Wikipedia..jerks).
• The world’s population reached 6 billion in October, according to the UN.

So there you go. This could be a prediction of what will happen in 2009. The Giants win their second Super Bowl in a row, we get a new way to steal music from people, Apple will release the Mac Super Pro Deluxe, Sega will release another system and then not support it, and the world will become even more over-populated than it already is. Party!

It’s the day after Christmas and all through the house…ah nevermind. I’m too tired to rhyme.

Anyways, who out there is rocking some sweet toys today? Any video game systems? GPS, cameras, computers, phones? Anyone? Let us know what you got.

Yep, it’s that time of year again.  A time when you have to give fake smiles to the cashiers and buy better presents than you receive and have way too much ‘quality family time’. Bitter? Just a bit.  The only good thing is that a holiday was made especially for me and all of my fellow bitter friends.

FESTIVUS!

That’s right, it’s Festivus today.  So break out that aluminum pole, air those grievances, and take part in the  feats of strength.  We here at Average Dudes wish all of our readers a Happy Festivus!  A Holiday for the Rest-of-us!

What? I want a CD with this song on it. What did you think I meant?

Some dude on Flickr got really creative and turned a bunch of old beer cans and liquor bottles into Christmas ornaments. They won him a contest at his office too. Check the rest out below, along with some awesome explanations. (more…)

Last year, Steve wrote a very nice guide with tips on what you could get your family and friends for the Holidays. It was a little late at the time but it still applies, so we figured we’d remind you all nice and early this year. So if you find yourself stumped, go check it out.
