Tom Sizemore Blows It Again

Onetime man’s man Tom Sizemore, noted for his work in illustrious films such as Saving Private Ryan, Natural Born Killers, and Black Hawk Down, has been busted for possession of methamphetamines again. This totally blows his parole right down the shitter. Well done, pal! [ap.org]

I never claimed that my shit doesn’t stink. It stinks, and sometimes it scares the cats away, I swear. As funny as it may be to drive both them and my wife away with a really magnificent specimen after a night of hard core whiskey drinking followed by a stop at the Belgian Fries shop […]

Punch My Unicorn

Normally, I’m just not a fan of the novelty tee shirt. After 30 y.o. you really gotta leave that noise behind or risk being the asshole who never outgrew the follies of his youth, AKA the friend your buddies’ wives don’t want to let them play with. Which means, of course, you should buy this […]

Chip S. asks:
I would very much like to hear your thoughts on the idea of men wearing skirts designed for men. Beyond the mere idea, what about actual implementations of instances of men’s skirts, i.e., www.midasclothing.com.
I have 2 of these midas skirts and they get quite a lot of use, but not […]

A million or so people have viewed this but my rule of thumb is if it’s new to me, it’s new to lots. Dig this live action vid about your favorite blue and red Italian plumber, now that he saved the princess and is living in a decent apartment with a great kitchen in Brooklyn, […]

The handy people over at HowStuffWorks.com have finally gotten around to writing up something useful, at least to the few dozen Star Wars fans milling about. Who hasn’t wondered exactly how Luke built his lightsaber, and what are they good for, other than killing Sith and chopping off the hands of your dysfunctional family members?
With […]

Please tell me why this is cool or even a good idea: Blinging out a cruddy old two stroke lawnmower with a gleaming chromium steel muffler that directs the exhaust right into the operator’s face.
I’m out of touch, don’t even have a lawn. Maybe there’s something fantastic here that is completely elusive to […]

If you let yourself play this nifty little flash game past the second level you’ll never get any work done for the rest of the day. It’s a pretty simple, smooth running gizmo that involves a rolling ball propelled only by your left and right directional keys, over an increasingly complex terrain with hurdles and […]

20 Things About Apple

PC World has in inherent bias against Apple products, for pretty obvious reasons, so they just wrote up 10 things that they hate about them. To be fair, they also wrote up 10 things they love about them. Hate: [pcworld.com] Love: [pcworld.com]

DIY: Lenticular Images

Like any kid who ever opened up the right box of Cracker Jack, I have always loved those nifty lenticular doodads that change the image depending on the angle at which you are looking at it. Dave Spencer of instructables.com apparently opened the same boxes, and he’s written up a […]

For some reason it’s newsworthy that this simple flannel-lined windbreaker by Baracuta of Manchester has just reached its 70th birthday. Maybe it’s because Ryan O’Neal helped popularize it, or because Frank Sinatra did, or because Elvis did or because yesterday’s Daniel Craig Steve McQueen wore it too.
Me, I hate having ribbed elastic cuffs on my […]

Eeek! Ew! Ew! Ew!

This may be the creepiest thing I’ve read in months. Thanks, honey! [cnn.com]
