Comcast>TD Bank?

If you've never gone to Comcast to trade in a broken modem or cable box then you won't really know what I'm talking about, but I'll try to help you understand. I was waiting to deposit my Christmas money yesterday and started thinking about how easy it would be to jump over the counter and grab whatever I wanted. This shit doesn't fly at Comcast. They have like 4 inches of bullet-proof glass between you and the lady behind the counter. Also, when you trade in whatever malfunctioning piece of equipment you have, you have to put it through a box that they open from the other side when your side shuts. Really? Because of all this, you have to talk to them through the weird microphone things like at the movies that you can't understand (speaking of which, why are they under so much protection?). It just seems over the top to have a bank have wide open access to reach across the counter to an area holding tens-of-thousands-of-dollars, but yet Comcast protects their employees like they're selling Kryptonite.

My Girlfriend, Jackie Greco

Over the past few months I have noticed some qualities about my girlfriend that have made me think about who she really is. I've come to realize that if she was a man, she would definitely be one of those guido meatheads that I don't really care for. I've since forgotten most of my evidence, but a few pieces remain:
1.) She loves lathering herself at the beach to get a golden brown exterior
2.) She instinctively flexes her biceps if I grab it to get her attention
3.) She was drawn to a cut off crew-neck sweatshirt at the mall the other day (like the kind guys would wear to Muscle Beach with a big belt/back support)
4.) I often catch her checking out her bod in a mirror or very clean window
5.) She shaves her forearms

To go along with this, she and I have collectively noticed characteristics that she possess which are very similar to one George Costanza, they are as follows:
1.) She loves to tell you how good she is at parallel parking
2.) She doesn't like to front money for things (but who does?)
3.) She definitely would have eaten that eclair out of the trash can
4.) She does not have a job but says she wants to go on vacation/has one planned for May
5.) She claims to not wear a shirt while going to the bathroom (not yet proven)

I suppose all these things combine to make up the perfect girl for me, a juiced up version of George Louis Costanza.

Comments

I've had several complaints about not being able to comment on here. My tech crew has solved the problem so stop your bitching. Also, sorry for the lack of recent posts, apparently med school applications take longer than expected. Don't worry, I have good stuff on the way.

Kwak Beer


So after I posted the info on the Sam Adams Utopias beer I got a message on the Face from one of my international connects in Spain about a sweet beer I should check out. Kwak, is a Belgian beer made by the people at Bosteels Brewery. Why such a weird glass you ask? According to their website, it was made so that it could be hung a mail coach while delivering mail. Soon after a breathalyzer was invented and the first DUI was given. Thanks for the heads up Ali G.

LeDeux 2010 Sweet

LeDeux has dropped their 2010 line on us and if I had stacks to blow, I would do so here. The line is entitled "Sweet" for obvious reasons, featuring pen sketches of historical and current ballers like Jackie Robinson and Manny Pacquiao. My favorite part? Probably the quote on the back of the Pac-Man shirt, "Your arms too short to box with God". Oh, also, this stuff is printed on organic cotton with lead and pvc free ink.

Sam Adams Utopias


I used to think myself something of a beer connoisseur, but not after seeing the Sam Adams Utopias. This stuff is meant to be sipped at room temp, and lucky for us 2009's batch is the strongest yet. Weighing in at 27% abv., this stuff will knock you on your backside pretty quickly. Not only is this stuff strong (as in strongest in the world), it is pretty rare too, only 53 barrels are made every year. This stuff would not be appropriate for "pouring one out", among other things.

Lyle Vacation Update

Lyle's break from work continued last night. Here, was the scene before he went out for the night.

Apparently things got out of hand at the bar and he had a few too many, I took this on my phone around 3 this morning.

Merry Christmas

So Lyle has vacation days to use up before the end of the year, you know what that means. Now that he doesn't need to wake up early he can booze with reckless abandon. Tonight was his first night of vacation, the following transpired:

Walking back from quizzo, I asked, "Do you have your keys?" Lyle answered, "Do you know how much I hate carrying things I don't need in my pockets?"

After driving him to Wawa for his post bar snack (don't worry mom I only had 2 beers in 3 hours) he continually referred to his Lunchable Pizza as if it were a real pizza by asking if he should "make me a slice" or saying he couldn't wait to "cook it" when we got home.

He claimed I didn't park close enough to the curb when we got back, the picture is evidence of how close I was.

Walking from the car to the house I said, "Would you make out with *******?" He replied, "I already have....apparently."

That's all for now kids.

College Dropout


To prove all old people wrong who claim hip-hop isn't good music, Kanye's "College Dropout" was named EW's best album of the 2000's. I forgot how good this album is, you can literally listen to it from beginning to end. Coming in a close 2nd is Hov's "Blueprint", further proving that the ROC boys have been in the building all decade long. Scope the rest of the top 10.

SportsNation

Today, I watched SportsNation on ESPN for the first time. The show is pretty cool and the chick on it, Michelle Beadle, seems real cool. She's like the girl that lived on your floor freshman year that would randomly know stuff about sports and would bust on guys better than you could. Not that I know what the latter feels like, but I still know that those kinds of people are cool. Last, but not least, they played several Jay-Z songs on the show, they probably looked on Yahoo! read my blog and saw it was Jay's birthday.

Happy Birthday Hov!

Big Homie turns 40 today. Coincidently beer comes in 40 oz containers, you know what to do, pour one out.

iPhone Gloves


Hate how when you have on gloves or mittens you can't control the screen on your touch screen phone? Me too, but fear not, there's a solution for this dilemma. Several companies make gloves with finger tips that are sensitive to the iPhone or other inferior touch screen devices. Two of best looking ones I've seen are the North Face E-Tip Gloves and the Dots D110 Gloves. Now you no longer have to look like an idiot and wear gloves with the tip of the pointer finger ripped off or make the crucial decision of frost bite or text.

Patron 4 Bottle Gift Set


Looking for the perfect gift for your boozehound buddy, in my case Lyle. Look no further than the Patron 4 Bottle Gift Set packed with four 375 mL bottles. Because of this boxed set of various tequilas you don't have to decide which way your friends would like to get lit.

NIke Air Max 90 Pigeon iD


Ok, so short story long, Jeff Staple is a designer who has collaboed with Nike (and NB and Converse) in the past to make a line of limiteds dubbed, "Pigeons". He puts a pigeon logo on the shoes and uses colorways that mimic that of a pigeon, i.e. grays in the upper with orangeish soles. These limiteds are coveted by all sneakerheads, especially people from NYC as the pigeon is the unofficial bird of the streets of the concrete jungle. Recently, a pair of 90s were shown online that someone created on NikeiD with the Pigeon colorway. Although they don't have the ever-so-important Pigeon logo, they still are ridiculous and dare I say rival the Infrareds.

Cudderisback

So, apparently Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi) is back. No word yet on where he was since his first album only dropped like a month ago. Either way, his return is marked with his newest track, "Cudderisback". Yeah, that's Vampire Weekend's instrumental if you were wondering, but probably weren't. Beats.

Forever- Travis Barker Remix

We've all heard Trav's take on Low and Crank Dat, now he's back on Drake's newest joint, "Forever". You gotta love how he puts his own spin on it without really changing the song. I can really appreciate the talent behind doing this as a fellow rock band drummer. Peep it on Youtube. Also, how sick is Ye's verse on this?

Lupe Fiasco Mixtape

The Fresh Cool Young Lu has been pretty quiet since his sophmore drop, "The Cool". Although pieces of his new album, "Lasers", have been floating around, there hasn't been anything substantial from him for a while. To hold us over until the 2010 release, Lup has put out a mixtape entitled "Enemy Of The State: A Love Story". This project was done cassette style so it's actually one long 22 minute track that is actually multiple tracks inside. If this isn't your bag then listen to "Shining Down", the first single from "Lasers", it features Matthew Santos (the guy from Superstar).

Yeezy

Here's a few jams from from Kanye that have popped up recently, they're worth a listen.

Not what your thinking, but dope nevertheless. Download on the other side.

Penfield Winter Collection


Penfield has been at the top of the outdoor winter gear game for some time now, and this year is no different. Chuck that North Face and rock some sick Penfield gear this winter by checking out the online store.

Vintage Beanies


These vintage NFL and NHL beanies are just like the one your dad wears to shovel snow. Head to EastWestWorldwide to check out the full selection.

Brooklyn Brew Shop Kits

The Brooklyn Brew Shop Kits let you get that microbrew taste from right in your own home. Specialty flavors are available for the holidays too, ones that might be good are Apple Crisp Ale or A Well Made Tripel. If you're thinking this is probably like those Mr. Beer kits you can scoop, you're way off, reviews say they're in different leagues.

Nike Air Max 90 CT LE Athletic South Black Infrared


The OG Air Max 90 Infrareds have got to be one of my favorite sets of rides all time, but these new boys aren't too bad. The Nike Air Max 90 CT LE Athletic South Black Infrared is the newest batch of 90s to drop and my feelings are mixed. On one hand, these are subtly sick, but on the other hand I don't like the idea of redoing the Mona Lisa.

If you didn't know, Ty Lawson is doing big things for the Nugs. Evidence on the flipside. If you don't know, now you know.

Lyle Quote Of The Week

Incase Combo Charger


Incase has been killing the iPhone accessory game for a little while now and they just put out another killer product. The Combo Charger gives you both a wall plug in feature for at home and a cigarette lighter function for when you hit the road. Grab one of these the next time you lose that little cube piece and have to charge strictly on your computer, or maybe grab one just incase. Sorry i had to.

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski


P Rod's not the only one on Nike's SB payroll, Stefan Janoski is now the second skater to have a Nike shoe launched with his moniker. These are kind of like a boat shoe and skate shoe hybrid that turned out pretty nicely, though the description would lead you to believe otherwise. Check out the other colorways on the flip.

Ork Posters


The people at Ork Posters are doing some awesome work that lets people show off their roots. They've created designs for people reppin all kinds of hoods nationwide in a variety of colors; and not only that, they have gone down my road and done some anatomical stuff too. To show some love for my international reader(s) in Barcelona I created the one above.

Shepard Fairey 2

As if you needed a good reason to get busy with the genius that is Shepard Fairey, he's currently doing some really cool stuff for Jim Muir. Muir founded Dogtown Skateboards and recently busted up his back cracking 2 vertebrae in a surfing accident. Fairey released the Jim Muir Print in light of the accident. All proceeds from this work will go towards financing Muir's medical bills, get well soon.

"Our only crime is being original"

Consequence- Whatever U Want (G.O.O.D. remix)

G.O.O.D. Music got their dreams out when they remixed Consequence's "Whatever U Want". Mr. West unleashed the entire arsenal on this one, give it a listen on the other side. G.O.O.D. Music has arrived!

His & Her Jordans

I've had a new appreciation for Kanye ever since I found out that he's a cool dude is person (courtesy of the world famous Tom Boyd). Knowing that, I figure he and Amber are probably one of the coolest couples on Earth behind Jay & B and Jack & I. I don't advocate couples wearing matching gear, but I would wear dueling Jordan IIIs any day of the week. Pics, kicks.

Dook

New York, New York

As of today, the Yanks had more wins in November than the rest of New York's sports teams combined. The Knicks won once this month, but the Jets, Bills, Giants, and Nets have yet to win. Well I guess it's true, if you can't make it here, you can't make it anywhere.

Street Crossing

Okay, here's the bottom line: I'm really good at crossing the street. I wait until the light is yellow for oncoming traffic and I begin to cross so that by the time I am across I don't get in people's way from the other direction. It's pretty hard to annoy me, but when people brazenly cross the street it gets me heated. Why do people wait for red lights in both directions, step out like 3 feet then stop suddenly and look at the light like, "Oh shit, it's green now?"? This half-hearted cross prompts a wave across by the first driver and screws everything at the light. Another way to get me heated at an intersection is to press the button. The button is only useful in the city where it's constant traffic and people are hauling ass all day long. If you press the button in West Chester it keeps that walking guy up long enough to get the entire Dugger cult through the intersection when you really only need like 3 seconds, or a little longer than a yellow light. The absolute worst street crossing tactic is a combination of the two aforementioned tactics. It is to press the button and then look out and realize no one is deterring you from crossing. This stunt makes all the lights red for what seems like an eternity, but the people doing this don't realize it because they have already crossed and are damn near a full block away, probably doing it again.

Ponoko

Have you ever seen the perfect piece of furniture, except for that little thing sticking out? Now you can get rid of the stuff you don't like and make your own original piece. Check out Ponoko to save a trip to Ikea.

BrewTender


If you enjoy boozing but hate walking to the fridge, this little guy is for you. The KegWorks BrewTender holds up to 80 oz. (a little more than a six pack) while being kept cold by a removable ice chamber. Need a cool glass to pour it into? Try this one.

Lyle Doesn't Say Yes/No

I don't know how much exposure you have to Lyle, but he doesn't answer questions with a yes or a no answer. Here are some recent examples:

Q: You trying to go out tonight? A: Well I haven't yet this week.
Q: Was that burger good? A: I mean, I wouldn't get it again.
Q: Do you need to get a shower before we go out? A: You can get yours first.
Q: You want to get pizza tonight? A: I had pizza yesterday for lunch.

New Terrible Towels

We all know about the Steelers Terrible Towel, but now there's a new version in Detroit. They've added the word We're to the towel so that it now reads, We're Terrible Towel. It's bad to be bad, but at least they're having fun with it.

Plaid Shorts

Although I don't do plaid shorts anymore, there was a time when I did wear them. In fact, I'll let everyone in on a secret: I brought plaid shorts to the east coast. Seriously. Think back to when you first started seeing plaid shorts around here, probably like summer '05ish right? When I went to my senior week in '04 I rocked plaid shorts on the boardwalk, and continued to for the rest of the summer. Your welcome for the business AE.

Rock n Jocks


Rock-n-Jocks has 20% off all New Eras until 11/21. I'm not into the brightly colored fitteds, but if that's your bag type in the promo code TURKEY to get the discount when you check out.

Cole Aldrich

Last night I watched the Kansas and Memphis game for about 20 minutes and was impressed by Cole Aldrich. In about 10 minutes of game time he dunked on a defender, grabbed a few boards, and hit a fadeaway with a hand in his face. This dude is a legitimate big man with real skills. I don't think he has Hansbrough range, but he has way more moves inside than Tyler. I hope they play Notre Dame at some point this year so that people can see what a real big man looks like and what a fraudulent big man looks like.

DJ AM Memorial Fund

AM was not only a master of the ones and twos, he was also an well-known sneaker head. Some of his personal collection of limiteds and rare kicks is being auctioned off to the highest bidder. Proceeds from the auction go to his memorial fund to help people with addiction. Scoop some kicks here, this is as good a reason as any.

Mmmvelopes


Still not into the email craze that's spring up over the past 15 years? Score some Mmmvelopes to send your correspondences. The adhesive tastes like bacon so you can seal this sucker up without having to deal with that awful glue taste. Be careful, the taste can be deadly, ask George Costanza.

Drunk and Hot Girls

Why do drunk girls think that they're above us commoners? They attempt, and get away, with more shit in one night than I ever will in my life. Last night, I escorted Lyle to get pizza after the bar and witnessed some stuff that set me off. First, a girl and her friend squeeze past the line for pizza claiming they just want to get inside to get out of the rain. No biggie, right? Right, until I see those two hookers paying a few minutes later. So because you're drunk and don't want to wait, you don't have to? Next, as we're standing on the cusp of the doorway, the broad behind me is trying to muscle me inside so she doesn't have to be in the rain, which is a mist by the way. When I turned to see why she is trying to post me up she says sorry but she doesn't want to get her shoes wet. Haha, you picked the wrong person to say that to sweetheart. I rolled my eyes and turned to Lyle to loudly explain to him how I frequently want to wear my Jamaican Green 90s or my Jordan IVs but I check the weather first so I don't end up like the idiot behind me. To make it even worse, the hoodrat calls the pizza place we're in to order a pizza because she couldn't bear to wait in line. I turned and said, "Are you serious?" She politely asked if I wanted the number, I said no and came this close to stepping on her ugly shoe on my way out.

Corner Sitting

Tonight we posted up at Kildare's and I had a great time. I chilled out on a stool at the crossroads of where people were coming and going with Boyd, Tom. To most people it may have looked like I was miserable and bored but I was having one of those blasts I've heard so much about. Skip the crowd and try taking a load off to scope the crowd, like at the beach but with your shirt on.

Brad Miller & Jason Williams

I don't know if anyone saw the near game winner that Brad Miller had the other night for the Bulls, but man am I glad the refs waived it off. I'm not sure why, but Brad Miller has always rubbed me the wrong way. It's probably the fact that he has the old And-1 symbol tattooed generically on one biceps and a tiny cartoon dog on the other. While we're on the big, stupid white player topic, I don't like Luke Harangody or Robbie Hummel either. No explanation, they're just overrated, neither will get a title and neither will be good in the league.

Jason Williams, White Chocolate, not the Dook one, is a sight for sore eyes in the league this year. I liked him back when he was the only heavily tatted white dude that was slinging passes all over the floor and I'm glad he's back. He's kind of like what the Birdman is now, except he was the Birdman before the Birdman was the Birdman.

AutoTune The World

This video is proof that before it's death, AutoTune was able to improve anything from Kanye to kids with bowl cuts. Bounce.

Lebron

Bron announced tonight that he is probably going to change his number next year in honor of His Airness. After MJ came to watch the King vs. D. Wade tonight, Lebron said he doesn't think anyone should wear 23 anymore. How can you not be impressed by the dude, he's classy as hell. New number? He's thinking 6 since it's his Olympic number. I wore 6 a few years back in intramurals, coincidence?

Philip Collins

Tonight I had my first cadaver lab for gross anatomy and we had a funny moment right from the jump. We have to wear lab coats while we're in there, fortunately there's a head-high pile of dirty coats there for us already to pick through. Some had old name tags, all had stains, most weren't appealing in any way. My buddy, Alex, pulled one off the top and threw it on. It wasn't until a little bit later that we saw the name tag on it read, Philip Collins...nice.

Greco Sisters

I was putting my laundry away today and noticed how well folded certain pieces were. Jack did some for me not long ago and when I put away the clothes she folded they were so tight and compactly folded. I used to look at myself as a good laundry folder, not anymore. After living with Ali and Jack this summer, I was exposed to their superior folding technique. While the sisters Greco possess all the qualities prized by the superficial man, they also have several hidden talents such as being able to fold a mean garment. They complained about my inability to fold properly this summer and I am finally seeing that their method is definitely more better than mine. Sorry I ever doubted you ladies.

Dyson Air Multiplier


Don't let the name fool you, this is a bladeless fan. Apparently, the air is sucked in through the base and when it is forced out through the ring it sucks air in behind it. Since there aren't blades it doesn't get all dusty the way the tower fan you had in the dorms did. Only one problem, are you going to put down 3 notes for a fan?

"Meiple"- Robin Thicke feat. Jay-Z

"Meiple" (said me-I-play) is as on point as a Robin Thicke song gets. I'm not entirely sure I like his stuff, but I do like this, maybe because the world's greatest rapper is in on it. Actually, why bullshit, yeah that's why.

U2 X Hov

U2 preformed at the Euro VMAs last week and one Shawn Carter stopped by for a few bars on "Sunday Bloody Sunday". Jay has torn down his last VMA shows, one in the states and now one in Berlin, the good stuff starts around the 3 minute mark.

PacMan


In light of this weekend's bout between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto I felt everyone should know about the IM King X Manny Pacquiao Pound4Pound colloabo t-shirt. It's hard to not like Manny, and even harder now since the proceeds for this go to typhoon victims in the Philippines. Score this and the fight for less than a note.

Tyler Hansborough For Acura

I guess we know what kind of car Tyler's driving. Apparently they were going to give him an RL but downgraded to a TL after it took him over 500 takes to finally get that last part down. Check it on the other side.

Superman? Please...

Dwight Howard is overrated. He will not win a title, even with a good guard. I don't like people calling him "Superman" either, there's one Man Of Steel and that is Shaq Diesel. Shaq has been getting pounded on since he came into the league and I have seen him react twice, at most. This week, Howard complained about not getting calls and then being called for fouls he didn't commit. On top of that, we all we remember the elbow he threw against the Sixers last year when someone finally bodied him up. Diesel has 60 pounds on Howard and still maneuvers his way around the court better. Bottom line, Shaq is/was/will always be the only Superman of the NBA.

NIke Air Penny II Atlantic Blue


The Air Penny II has been re-released and it reminded me of back in '96 when Gibb scored these and I had a pair of Jordan XIIs. He always had smaller feet so he could still get kid's sizes and I had to get the smallest men's size, which of course came with the man sized price, sorry mom and dad.

Nike SB Eugene Backpack


I think Nike secretly has it out for me by continually releasing new SB Backpacks that I can't afford. They started popping up about a year ago with my favorite, the Buzz Lightyear, and have steadily produced like five more versions since. I've yet to have someone agree with me on how sick they are, maybe you'll be the first. Do my Christmas shopping here and/or here.

ZeroEdge Aquariums


Like the Infinity Pools always on display on Cribs. Only one problem though, since there's no edge, there's no lid so don't fall in.

Shepard Fairey



In case you've been under a rock for the past year, Shepard Fairey is the guy responsible for the Obama "Hope" posters and Obey clothing. The dude does amazing stuff but he can't seem to stay out of trouble; apparently Boston cops don't like graffiti, no matter how sick it looks. In response to his arrest this year these t-shirts were launched, I guess it's the white version of those "Free Yayo" shirts from '04.

Bang


I went to get a .99 egg and cheese down the street and look at the mullet that pulled up next to me while I waited...solid right?

Office Edition Clue


Play this version after you get bored with the Seinfeld version. I think Dwight is somehow behind every crime in this version so it kind of ruins the fun of pulling the result out of that little envelope at the end.

Tarheels


The Tarheels started their season last night by beating FIU by 16 while wearing throwback unis to honor their '57 national championship team. The Heels also celebrated their 100th year of college basketball dominance with a red waistband and trim on their shorts and jerseys, naturally I like the look.

Dave's Quality Meat


Dave's Quality Meat has some legit gear. Growing up, I never knew what a fashion mecca Newville was. Who knew that we were light years ahead of the game by wearing flannels and hunter safety orange? Sorry hipsters, my boys at home have been rocking this stuff since OJ had Isotoners.

Papa John's Sucks

So Lyle and I have a buy-one-get-one card for Papa John's so we order from there every once in a while. I'm not sure why we continue to do it since there's always an f up in their service and the pizza isn't that great, despite their better ingredients etc. This time I call in and immediately sit on hold for about 10 minutes, 9 of which Lyle was bitching. He starts off by saying that the "retards" that work there probably spit in the food, then changes his mind and says they probably drool in it. When we pull up to pick up the pizza he sighs and quickly complains about now being able to see the idiots responsible for us being on hold earlier. As I wait inside for about 10 minutes before being acknowledged, Lyle calls (from 15 feet away) and wonders if he should turn off the car because he doesn't have much gas, I say no. A few minutes later I walk out with the pizza as Lyle starts the car. We both complain about it the whole way home and probably right up until the point where we start eating. My whole point is why do we even go there? It's like Entourage, you know the acting sucks and the story line is getting weak, but you still arrange your Sunday night around being able to watch it. Just imagine the mess John Schnatter and Marky Mark could create with their powers combined. I'm sure we would all hate/love every minute of it.

2009 VMAs


I was watching Jay-Z and Alicia Keys perform "Empire State of Mind" at the VMAs a little while back and grabbed this screen shot. Now we know what it looks like from Jay's point of view.

4th Quarter, Babyyyy!


Fortunately for this guy there was no OT, yikes.

A-Rod Centaur


In light of the Yankees winning buying the world series, these shirts only seemed fitting. Scoop one here.

Hotwicks


Really set the mood and bring back great times with these exotic candle scents ranging from bacon to new car to stripper. Pairing beer, grass, and pigskin is great for Sundays with the guys, but using combos like whiskey, urinal cake, and stripper could bring back some bad Saturday nights.

Cardboard Bedsheets


Send mom and dad a picture message of these on your bed and you'll be sure to score a check in the mail within the week. Though they're not actually made of cardboard, the image is printed in the fabric to ensure an authentic homeless look. To sweeten the deal even more, 30% of the profits from these go to a UK charity for homeless people. See for yourself...

Mike Posner


Mike Posner has been all over the music blog scene lately because of the release of his second mixtape, One Foot Out The Door. I've given it a quick listen and it's not bad, but like all Dook idiots he'll probably never get off the bench once he graduates. With that said, I will admit that this is pretty impressive.

Seinfeld Edition Clue


I loved Clue when I was younger and I love Seinfeld now that I'm grown so naturally this appeals to me. Seinfeld Edition Clue lets you ponder over whether it was Kramer with the meat slicer, Elaine with the water pick, or dare I say...Newman with the Mellow Yellow bottle.

Lil Wayne- No Ceilings


Weezy's newest mixtape dropped a few weeks ago and it looks like it might be the last we hear from him for a little while. Wayne's looking at about a year in jail after admitting that he had a loaded .40 caliber semi-auto on his tour bus back in '07. I haven't been bored enough to listen to the mixtape yet but I'm sure it will be great.

Justin Bieber

Lyle was listening to this 15 year old today. I don't know, you tell me....

GigLocator


Check out GigLocator to see when your favorite group is coming to town near yous.

Gerber Shard


The Gerber Shard keychain tool combines seven basic functions into less than 3" of titanium coated goodness. Now you won't have to whip out your flip-flop-shaped bottle opener someone got you in Cancun when your services are needed by a cutie at a party.

Oh, Manu

Manu Ginobili knocked out, and hopefully killed, a bat during the Spurs game against the Kings last Saturday. I'm guessing it was the highlight of the game based on the crowd's reaction, check it out on the flipside.

Black and Decker Ready Wrench



This thing is pretty sick, it's got 16 metric and standard sockets all on one tool. Now you can look like an expert and not have to guess between a 5/16 or a 4mm socket in front of your father-in-law.

King James


I would love for LeBron to stay in Cleveland since I like to see players play for one team for their entire career, but it seems like his stay in the Sixth City may end come next summer. We know Bron loves the the Big Apple, and the Garden, but who wouldn't if you're being greeted by Hov, C.C., Joba (not pictured), and A-Rod after the game like he was tonight after dropping 33, 8, & 9. Though I could care less about the latter three, Big Homie could put him in an empire state of mind.

Rip City Jerseys


I don't know if anyone was watching the Blazers/Spurs match up tonight (not sure why you would), but the Blazers had some fresh jerseys on. The Rip City Jerseys are to commemorate the team's 40 years in Portland and to pay homage to their legendary broadcaster, Bill Schonely, who coined the term. If you missed them tonight you can check them again on April 14 against the Warriors.
