FIRST 4 MINUTES OF LOST SIXTH SEASON

[HERE]

SUPER BOWL XLIV

I know dick about it...and by dick I mean nothing. I literally just found out when the super bowl is yesterday afternoon and just found out who was playing in it last night. That being said let's make a friendly wager any and all of you. $5. All of you...if I don't know you, I'll mail you a $5 bill if I lose...and you do the same...honor system is in effect, we're all decent people. Just pick your team in the comments...and consider it a handshake with no crossed fingers behind the back. Fuck as I type this all I know is its Colts and somebody else...yep and Saints...Ha...bring it.

One wager per person and none accepted after Saturday February 6. Assholes need not apply. And I reserve the right to welch on the bet due to creepy factors and basically any factors...but not likely.

Don't forget that Saturday night the awkwardness continues in the upstairs of the Tap Room from 8-midnight where the pins and what not will be up for auction...

YOU SHOULD READ MORE

FROM THE PINS & NEEDLES SHOW



Don't miss the continued uncomfortableness and possible gang rape this coming Saturday when the pins are auctioned off at the Tap Room. Confused? We were too when we walked in the show last weekend...oh wait...what. No. No, don't mind the pins on that obscure counter top blocking the restrooms.

MUSTACHE MARVEL





Well put...
"I’ll say it– I’m a fan of the mustache. Sadly, we saw the ’stache fall largely by the wayside over the past few decades as pretty boys seemed fixated on primping, grooming, moisturizing, metrosexualizing, etc. in a vain and sissy attempt to one-up the ladies in the looks department. Let the ladies be pretty. Let the men be men. I say — Bring. Back. The. ‘Stache. Not the pencil-thin, or micro groomed razor-sharp manifestations that border on ridiculous. Not the peach-fuzz, thin-lipped scummer ’stache. Not the Teddy Roosevelt waxed work-of-art on some hipster who lacks respect and context. I’m talkin’ about an honest, unassuming mustache that’s there because it fits the wearer’s form and finishes him off– like dotting an “i”, crossing a “t”, or adding an exclamation point.

Now consider yourself warned — the mustache can cut both ways. While it can add character and distinction, balance your features, etc. — it can also make you look like a total _____ . So tread carefully, and be honest with yourself — because it ain’t for everyone. Ask Sean Penn."

[SELVEDGE YARD]

DEPPSTACHE


Watched Public Enemies last night...after 28 (of 33) disks straight of Sopranos, I needed something else...anyway, not that great. I couldn't really get into it. Its not the worst thing I've seen, but not worth a second watch (yes, I'll usually watch a movie twice in a row)...seemed pretty generic in terms of the story line...Depp's stache was pretty rockin' though.

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE MP3

VENGEANCE IS COMING






I like this...a lot...minus the handlebars/grips...but I have super sweaty hands, so I have to be picky.
[DEATH SPRAY CUSTOM]

PASS FAIL




As he Tyler Thompson states, “It was like someone put on a blindfold, drank a fifth of whiskey, spun around 100 times, got kicked in the face by a mule (the person who designed this definitely has a mule living with them inside their house) and then just started puking numbers and letters onto the boarding pass at random”.

Nice article and exploration of boarding passes...

Reminds me I need to get my passport this month...shit.
