Unthirsty

May 31st, 2007

1596_icon.jpgWe’ve all got a favorite bar. That nice little place on the corner where everyone vaguely remembers your name, with the killer drink specials and all the grubby peanuts you can eat. But sometimes a little variety is good too, though the problem with trying out new things is that they so often turn out to suck.

For those looking to expand their repertoire of booze haunts, Unthirsty offers a convenient way to get the scoop on new pubs without having to take a chance on a potential dud. (more >>)

Solar Bags

May 29th, 2007

1549_icon.jpgIn this age of wireless gadgetry, the chore of recharging your mobile electronic devices feels so… twentieth century. While your iPod, PDA, and cell phone allow you to do things that were impossible a decade ago, if you can’t find an outlet and a few hours to power them back up, they turn into very expensive paperweights after hardly any time at all.

So until they invent a Crackberry than runs off of thumb blisters, you can still keep your precious gadgets running when you’re on the go with a solar backpack. (more >>)

Hangover Remedies

1560_icon.jpgSo you over did it, huh? Your Memorial Day barbecue was a blast, but we warned you that Sangria was strong. Now it’s the morning after and you’re in so much pain you don’t even care to know why you woke up clutching a pair of skis.

Well never fear, we’ve got the medicine for you, and we don’t judge. Here are a few tips that will help you bear through the worst of it. (more >>)

Memorial Day Drinks

May 25th, 2007

1559_icon.jpgIf you’re planning on throwing a memorable Memorial Day barbecue, you’re going to need some decent booze. A steady supply of cold beer is obviously essential, but if you really want to make people remember your BBQ (or even better, make them be completely unable to remember anything) you’ll want some libations with a little more variety.

The key factors for a good backyard cookout are large quantity, great taste, and crippling potency. Do we have some kick ass drink recipes that meet all three? Of course we do. (more >>)

Condoms

May 24th, 2007

1558_icon.jpgIt’s rough being a guy. The whole sex thing, for instance: Even though it takes two to screw, somehow it’s your responsibility alone to make sure things don’t get stale. One might think that toys are an easy way to spice things up, but a woman may not respond favorably when you show her that sex swing you bought.

A more low-key option is to try some new condoms. We have a few unique sheaths to share that will add some flair to your performance, without making her think you’re a kinky bastard. (more >>)

Flash Games and Flesh Games

May 23rd, 2007

1554_icon.jpgIf you’ve got some time to waste at work, and have already jerked off more times than necessary, why not spend your down time playing some flash games. They’re free, easy to get out of quickly if the boss walks by, and a lot of them are really good. And if you still feel like fiddling with your joystick, there are also a few flash games that you can play with while also playing with yourself… (more >>)

Amie Street

May 22nd, 2007

1522_icon.jpgBuying music has gotten to be a little… complicated lately. CDs are overpriced and risky purchases, music sharing programs can get you shat upon by the lawsuit-happy RIAA, and iTunes, while popular, loads their songs with software that limits the extent of your ownership.

While it seems like music is falling victim to profit-hungry corporate interests, a new music site named AmieStreet is offering consumers a chance to reassert their control of the industry. (more >>)

Cubicle Warfare

May 21st, 2007

cubiclewarfare_icon.jpgThe cubicle farm, is there any environment less conducive to sanity? Coworkers are constantly trying to violate the sanctity of your cubicle, dying to know if you saw last night’s episode of that show you hate, or maybe hoping to shove more pictures of their hideous offspring in your face.

But there are ways of defending your precious allotment. Oh yes. Here are a few fun toys which are great for sending a very clear message to your coworkers: go away. (more >>)

Best. Vacation. Ever.

May 18th, 2007

1545_icon.jpgWe’ve always fantasized about what it would be like to direct adult entertainment. Getting to boss around boobalicious women, orchestrating the violation of some blonde beauty by several dozen guys and a dwarf with a cucumber, laughing at the production assistant whenever he slips on a spent condom… It would be awesome.

But while we may never get behind the camera, Porn Week Vacations is prepared to offer the next best thing: a week of visiting live sets, partying with the boobies stars themselves, and getting some tips on your game from people who screw for a living. (more >>)

Reputation Defender

May 15th, 2007

1503_icon.jpgRemember that party you went to in college, where you and your friends got a little too drunk and did that thing with the sorority girls which seemed so hilarious at the time? Well, the company you just interviewed with Google’d you and found pictures of the dirty deed on someone’s MySpace page. Suffice it to say, they didn’t share your sense of humor.

Seems unfair, but the internet has a lot of dirt on you, more than you even know about. But if you’re interested in finding out, and perhaps even doing something about it, ReputationDefender can help. (more >>)

Miss Universe 2007

May 14th, 2007

miss_universe2007_icon.jpgOne of the best reasons to dine out is the chance to try exotic cuisines from foreign places, exposing yourself to new flavors, colors and textures.

We love the Miss Universe Pageant for these very same reasons. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet for the eyes (and other organs), with a stunning array of deliciously beautiful ladies as the main course. (more >>)

Secret Doors

May 10th, 2007

1496_icon.jpgWhat self-respecting man has never dreamed of having a secret passage in his home? Sure, you might not have a secret crime-fighting lair to put behind it, and you might not be able to afford the cost of totally rebuilding your home, but a guy can dream, right?

Well throw away those tights and utility belt, ’cause now you can get your own secret door without having to dedicate yourself to defeating evil. (more >>)

Vocation Vacations

May 9th, 2007

1491_icon.jpgSo your job as the Assistant Manager of your local DMV isn’t turning out to be as much of a thrill ride as you thought it’d be. Sure, you’ve always dreamed of quitting and doing something else, but what if find out that you hate it worse than your old job? Or more likely: what if it turns out that you suck at it.

With a Vocation Vacation you can see whether you’re cut out for your dream job, without risking your current one. (more >>)

A Robot for Every Dirty Job

May 8th, 2007

cleaningrobots_icon.jpgThe great robot uprising of 2051 is still decades away, but that date is approaching fast. Before those dark days arrive, why not enjoy having a robot serve you, rather than the other way around? They can handle a variety of messy tasks without complaint, since they can’t feel discomfort (or love)… yet. (more >>)

Stylin’ Slim Wallets

May 7th, 2007

1516_icon.jpgFar too many men are guilty of carrying fat wallets. It’s tempting to think that a little thickness might get the ladies all hot and bothered by your abundant wealth, but what’s really bothering them is the possibility that the massive bulge protruding from your posterior is actually a tumor.

This is a definitely a case of less is more. While the various essentials you carry have to go somewhere, there’s no reason for your IDs, cash and cards to cramp your style. (more >>)

The George Foreman iGrill

May 4th, 2007

igrill_icon.jpgThe three essential components of a good Memorial Day barbecue are: grilled beefy goodness, great music, and enough cold beer to make you do something you’ll seriously regret the next day.

Arriving just in time for summer, George Foreman’s new iGrill can satisfy the first two. Getting sufficient booze to loosen up your neighbor’s au pair is up to you. (more >>)

Spruce up your Electronics with Colorware

May 3rd, 2007

colorwarepc_icon.jpgWhile the signature clean white look of the iPod was at one point appealing for its quasi-futuristic feel, now that everyone has one, and other devices like the Wii are also using the white-on-white look, it’s getting a little over-done. And the colors on the XBOX 360? Yawn.

If you’re looking to give your gadgets a little more personality, but aren’t trashy enough to go the duct tape route, Colorware has the solution. (more >>)

Gestures: Do’s and Taboos

May 2nd, 2007

gestures_icon.jpgYou’re on vacation in Australia. Driving down a country road, you stop your car to step out and get some fresh air. A passing car stops, and the big Aussie behind the wheel asks if everything is alright. You say “Yep,” and give him a smile and a big thumbs up. He then gets out of his car and proceeds to beat the shit out of you.

It’s a shame you didn’t know that in Australia, giving someone a thumbs up is roughly equivalent to flipping them off. (more >>)

Same Underneath

May 1st, 2007

sameunderneath_icon.jpgSummer’s coming up, and while it’s nice to be able to step out without bundling up, the heat has its drawbacks. You sweat more. Kinda gross, but you can’t help it. But by the end of August, your shirts will have absorbed more cumulative man-stank than a barstool at a nudist resort. You might get used to this, but the girls you hit on sure as hell won’t.

This year, try wearing something a little less prone to summer stankification. Can I suggest something in bamboo? (more >>)
