Hot Front-End Loader Action

May 17th, 2008

Wow! I’ve seen some odd fetishes in my time, but when a front-end loader can strip a woman quicker than I can… that’s just not right.

Angriest Drivers in America

May 16th, 2008

A recent study surveying motorists on road rage lists Miami, not Boston, as the city with the most road rage incidents. Here’s the top 10:

1. Miami
2. New York
3. Boston
4. Los Angeles
5. Washington, D.C.
6. Phoenix
7. Chicago
8. Sacramento, Calif.
9. Philadelphia
10. San Francisco

The reasons most often cited for the cause of road rage? Cell phones, eating, trucker bombs and road head… not necessarily in that order.

John Mayer, My Hero

May 13th, 2008

John Mayer; crooning musician, comedian, pimp. While I understand that chicks dig rock stars, John Mayer has been able to land some seriously impressive groupies including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights) and now Jennifer Aniston.

If he keeps this run going, he’ll be in the Live Manly Hall of Fame in no time. Hell, who am I kidding. This guy was born into the HoF.

Unassisted Triple Play!

May 13th, 2008

Asdrubal Cabrera joined an elite list of MLB players last night when he turned just the 14th unassisted triple play in the MLB history.

Since the MLB is Hitler-like in its guarding of video content and doesn’t let you embed it, here’s an old fashioned link to the triple play video.

GTA on SNL

May 12th, 2008

Eh, not that funny, but I’ll join the GTA hype machine:

Short men can date too… but it ain’t cheap

May 8th, 2008

According to Wired Magazine:

“A 5′8″ beau can score as many dates as a 6′ gent if he makes $146,000 more a year. And the ladies are equally attracted to 5′2″ men who make $277,000 more than Mr. Lanky.”

That means Gary Colman (4′ 8″) would have to clear $2 million to date the same girl as the average 6 footer. So if Tom Brady (6′ 4″, $6mm salary + endorsements) dumps Giselle Bundchen, she could be Gary’s for as little as $75 million per year.

McCain

May 5th, 2008

If this was real, I’d totally vote for McCain. Actually, I think someone should write a Rambo-esque screenplay starring McCain and call it “McCain”. I’d vote for that!

PS. In case you missed it, I’m now hooked on Onion Video.

Kate Hudson World’s Most Beautiful Person?

May 5th, 2008

People Magazine’s World’s Most Beautiful People tops out with Kate Hudson–a choice I can really get behind. The rest of the top 10 (with an average age in the mid 30’s!) is a little harder to digest:

1. Kate Hudson
2. Salma Hayek (Passed her prime… in 1999)
3. Mary J. Blige (#3! Seriously?)
4. Rumer Willis (Demi and Bruce do good work)
5. Sarah Silverman (um, this is wrong)
6. Christina Applegate (the 90’s called, they want their sex symbol back)
7. Eva Longoria & Tony Parker (individually, they’re hideous…)
8. Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers!)
9. Amanda Beard (putting the “man” in Amanda)
10. The Gossip Girl Cast (weak… grow a pair and single the ugly ones out)
