Engagement Ring Buying Guide

engagementIt’s the holiday season, which means there are probably a lot of poor bastards out there who are thinking of proposing to their girlfriend.  If you are one of those guys, be sure to read this engagement ring guide.  As someone who has gone through the process of buying an engagement ring—and now a wedding ring—I can say I have learned a lot.

Today, I’ll focus on what you need to know before and after you buy the ring.  A few days from now, I’ll get into the specifics of finding a good ring such as the 4 C’s, how much to spend, and what features to avoid. (more…)

Celebrity Tweet of the Week: Thanksgiving Edition

twitter3I am truly thankful for many things this Thanksgiving.  I’m engaged to be married to a wonderful woman. I have great friends and a supportive family.  I  have a good job with health benefits.   

I’m also very thankful for the person featured in this week’s version of Celebrity Tweet of the Week.  This person has been featured a number of times before and she continues to come through on a weekly basis.    

Since no one else really stood out to me this week, I’m awarding her all the points.  She deserves it… So who is it? (more…)

The Lifetime Network is Eating Away at my Manhood

network_lifetimeA while back, I wrote a post called TV Shows you can Watch with your Girl.  The idea of the post was to find shows that you and your girlfriend/ spouse/ fiancé/ mistress etc. could watch together.  However, as the boyfriend, there are plenty of times you get stuck watching TV shows you can’t bear to watch. 

For me, most of those shows are on the Lifetime Network.  When I come home, Lifetime is on. When I go to bed, Lifetime is on. It’s gotten so bad that I am starting to see repeats of these shows.  It’s because of this network that I no longer feel bad subjecting her to nine hours of football on Sunday. 

To help you guys out, I am going to break down all the shows I am forced to watch. Some are on the Lifetime network, while others are not. If your girl ever puts any of these shows on, take the advice of Biff Tannen: Make like a tree and get outta there. 

I will rate each one on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being the most tolerable and five making you want to jump off a bridge.  Click on the links to video clips if you dare.  (more…)

Crazy Stuff Found in Hammacher Schlemmer

Hammacher Schlemmer, the oldest running catalog, claims to offer the best, the only and the unexpected for 161 Years.  I had never even heard of this company until a few weeks ago but after thumbing through their catalog recently, I’d say their slogan is pretty spot on.  I found a number of items that could certainly be described as unexpected. Therefore I thought I’d share some of the craziest items I found.  If you’re looking for some unique gift ideas for Christmas be sure to read this.  (more…)

Links of the Week: November 20, 2009

denise-milaniThe girl to your left is named Denise Milani. I stumbled across photos of her recently and was blown away. So I thought I’d share this picture of her.  She might have the most wonderful set of fake tities I have ever seen. You can see more pictures at her web site here. 

Don’t get too distracted because you’ll need to focus on some great links found on the web this week. (more…)

More Random Guys I Want to Punch in the Face

 

office-space-printerBack in August, I wrote a post called Random Guys I Want to Punch in the Face.  That post has turned out to be, by far, the most popular piece of literature on this web site.  Therefore, I thought I’d give the people more of what they want.  Here are more random people I want to punch in the face. 

THE I GET AWAY WITH USING THE “N” WORD IN FRONT OF BLACK PEOPLE BECAUSE I’M HISPANIC GUY
I work in an urban area of NYC with a population comprised of mostly African-Americans and Hispanics.  Everyday of my life I hear a Spanish guy use the “N” word. IN FRONT OF BLACK PEOPLE—and no one even bats an eye.  SERIOUSLY?  Why do they get a free pass on the word?  If I even whispered the “N” word, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and 30 members of the NAACP would be protesting outside my doorstep.  Why are black people ok with this?  Can someone explain this to me? 

THE DEVELOPERS OF MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007
Hey I got an idea! Let’s take software that everyone in the world uses and make it completely fucking different.  Let’s change the way it looks so no one can figure out how the fuck to find anything!  THEN let’s make it incompatible with the old version so everyone who still has Microsoft Office 2003 can’t OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS!  If I had a dime for every time I had to reply to an email with a DOCX attachment asking the person to convert and resend it, I could have bought out Bill Gates by now.  Where did they get these retards? The Katherine Gibbs School?  I’d like to lay these worthless bastards out.

(Note: Recently they finally added a plugin to make it compatible—I still fucking hate it though) (more…)

Links of the Week: November 13, 2009

sexy-camo-girls-90So I’ve noticed lately that the most viewed “Links of the Week” posts have been the ones where I have a picture a big-breasted woman next to it. So I figured, why mess with a good thing? The picture is from COED Magazines, Fatigue Wearing Foxes. (NSFW) Other great links this week include, a mascot dance-off, what not do to on a first date, Conan O’Brien clips and MUCH more.  (more…)
