Posted by Shawn Norris under advice, featured, lifestyle, lists 8

I have a hat that I got in a truck stop in Alabama that states, “I spend my money on booze, women and gambling. The rest I waste.” The hat made an excellent point. Men have a tendency to sometime waste money. The hat was different. It was the best $3.99 I ever spent. The hat got many compliments as I made my way home from Tuscaloosa. My girlfriend at the time thought the hat was the dumbes ...more.

Posted by Shawn Norris under entertainment, featured, gadgets, lifestyle, lists 9

I was on Hulu the other day and ran across this clip from a show from the SPEED channel, where they were selling one of the cars used in one of my all-time favorite films “Ghostbusters.”I can’t tell if Ernie Hudson comes with the car…or maybe drives it around to bust ghosts with you on the weekends--either way, if I had the disposable income, I would buy this car. And quickl ...more.

Guys like things. We often work very hard to acquire these things. Guys shop with purpose. We go shopping for items that make our living space more comfortable and more importantly, we are shopping for things that will make other guys envious. However, sometimes we have a tendency to buy items that make it more difficult for us to leave or places of residence. For men, it’s not shoes, styli ...more.

With cars and airplanes and iPhones, it seems that the world we live in just keeps getting better and brighter (with the exception of a fledgling world economy, countries with less of a GNP than Apple, adult onset diabetes, cancer, US Magazine, Swine Flu, etc). But that’s not always the case when you really think about it. Sure, we don’t have to worry about the plague or invading Mongols, ...more.
20 things that would happen if marijuana were legalized tomorrow

Posted by Shawn Norris under humor, lists 6

The inevitable is happening folks. Marijuana is taking the very slow and cautious steps to legalization. It’ll start with California, then other states will see the money it brings in and follow suit. Then as a majority of states legalize it and it becomes too difficult to prosecute from state to state, marijuana will be federally legalized. ...more.

The 9 best and funniest “Made for TV” holiday songs

Posted by Shawn Norris under entertainment, lifestyle, lists 5

Holiday TV specials are a December staple. It’s the entire reason they made stop-motion claymation. Some specials simply play some old songs and throw a few reindeer, some elves and by the time Santa shows up, they call it a day. But some shows take Christmas a little further by writing and adding their own Christmas carols to already crowded repertoire of silver bells and sleigh rides. ...more.

Every guy on the planet talks to their buddies about women. We talk about how you look, how you dress, how you act when you’re with your friends, about that time you did that thing and told us to never talk about it, but that we couldn’t NOT tell our friends about. As one of my best friends used to say, “There’s always a girl and a story…” ...more.
7 sports franchises not to be thankful for this season

Posted by Shawn Norris under lists, sports 12

There is a lot to be thankful for in today’s sports landscape. LeBron James may be the most physically gifted basketball player that the sport has ever seen. Stephen Strasburg can supposedly throw a baseball 103 mph. You can watch ALL of the NFL games at the same time with the Sunday Ticket!

The 10 most dangerous toys of your childhood

Posted by Shawn Norris under humor, lists 9

I’m surprised I survived the 1980’s. I was small and fragile and looking back at the toys…I can't believe that at some point someone didn’t need my dental records and an eyewitness account to identify me. I was young and naïve and bleeding a good portion of the time. Yeah, mostly bleeding. I had a daunting sense of adventure; made worse by the fact that I was armed with some of the mo ...more.

HOWEVER, some people who give out candy wouldn’t know good candy if it bit them on the ass. Those people usually give out the following:Candy Corn - Honestly, who the hell likes this stuff.

Bars hold a special place in my heart. I’ve spent the good part of my youth either sitting in them, drinking in them and on about more than a few occasions, being removed from them by some sort of barland security. I can’t pinpoint the exact number, but second hand accounts and police reports like to put the over/under at 15. What can I say, when I have a bit of whiskey I have a tendency t ...more.
