St. Paddy's Day Gifts
Posted February 19, 2008 2:26 PM
It's almost here...a day that offers all citizens (including the ones with true Irish heritage) to consume as much alcohol as humanly possible without being considered a drunk. Well the true meaning of St. Patrick's Day is a day of feasting in honor of the St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Why March 17th, why not? Well actually, because that is the day in which St. Patrick died. I love it, a patron saint dies and we turn it into a day of boozing. Anyway since most of the feasting and boozing will take place at tens of thousands of Irish pubs we can't think of a better way to transition into these awesome Personalized Pub Signs.

Best Cartoon In The Universe
Posted December 11, 2007 10:44 AM
Really more than a cartoon, Futurama is a collection of characters and situations that will have you rolling on the ground. Developed by Matt Groening and David X. Cohen you might be wary(?) but it won an Emmy, recognition by even the people who have not and will never watch it and proof enough that it is a good show. In fact they even came out with a new Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score. It's awesome through and through with the best ending anyone could ever hope for in a movie.

Absinthe Ban Lifted In US
Posted December 9, 2007 11:22 AM
That's right, you guys really just read those words. The United States has lifted its ban on the production and sale of absinthe with wormwood and companies are rearing up and readying to start pushing their products. It's not the same as traditional absinthe in that it doesn't have any thujone in it, an ingredient thought to be responsible for the drinks psychotropic effects, but that actually has no such effect, meaning you still get the real deal.
So far there are St. George Spirits and Lucid being the two main distillers of absinthe with wormwood in the US. We're sure there are some more out there already or will be soon though. Keep looking, but really just rejoice at the fact that ABSINTHE IS FINALLY LEGAL HERE!!!

Digital Jingles Every Which Way
Posted December 7, 2007 9:09 AM
Tis the season... for a history lesson! Not really though, more of a comparison between then and now concerning some technology that people used to get along fine without. That's right, telephones. In 1959 we had the Western Electric 500 telephone, then came touch tone, then cordless and now of course we've wireless.
Wireless phones have turned each human into an epicenter for communication, receiving calls from any location at any hour. Unlike the WE 500, which by 1955 had only innovated beyond 5 new colors, there are a plethora of cell phone and pda choices for you to pick from. Since phones and other gadgets are such great guy gifts we thought a cell phone selection would make for some good holiday shopping.

It's Your Choice Dawg
Posted December 6, 2007 10:05 AM
Alright guys this is a warning as well as a hook up: video games kick ass. Even better is that they've gone into a realm of gaming that is constantly mind-blowing. For instance the new game Assassin's Creed for Xbox360
is honestly so amazing it's definitely the number one game worth getting (make sure you get the console to match). Then there is the Wii
, today's technology with a classic touch. If you have other consoles and not a Wii you are seriously missing out plus apparently the Wii is good for your health. At the very least play some Metroid
on it before you start to say you don't like it. As for the PlayStation 3
, well it's just an insane piece of hardware and tech (with a price tag to match). Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
is amazing if you like racing games, but really other than that it's just a matter of you deciding whether you'd rather have an Xbox360 or the PS3, but one thing to remember: Halo 3
is Xbox.

Fitness Redefined As Fun
Posted December 3, 2007 9:48 AM
The Wii Fit is here! To buy that is because it sure isn't being released in the US of A anytime soon (next year?). What's up with that? Doesn't the entire world know about our country's weight problem? And here we are thinking the Japanese are all knowing in the business world (they are).

Tis The Season
Posted November 30, 2007 1:14 PM
It is the season indeed and that means time to buckled down on what your guy gifts are going to be. The options are in the process of being amassed, making it easier for you to choose the route of gifts that are "just him" gifts or gifts that you can enjoy too. Whichever you choose though, make sure that it's still a gift that he'll really enjoy. And that doesn't mean it has to be something useful, just something that can be picked up every now and then for him to have some fun.

Manhunt
Posted November 29, 2007 11:37 AM
Just like the hunt for gifts, the first Manhunt is just a taste of what you're in for this Christmas. Either one of them a perfect guy gift in itself, the first having been banned in several countries and this second one supposedly being better/worse. Better if you're a twisted mother that likes to actually kill people (but not really). Supposedly there is a crack that opens Manhunt 2
's violence and gore up to where it was originally going to be. Check it out if you're looking for that great gift. It's one of those go big or go home kind of things, why else would you play it?
Gifts And Comics That Appreciate
Posted November 29, 2007 9:52 AM
With so many stand up comedians today it's sometimes hard to sit down and try out someone new. I can't tell you how many times I've sat down to watch some Comedy Central Presents (Mitch Hedberg and a couple others are good though) just to change the channel after the first five minutes of watching some jack off try and be funny. They're all too concerned over making it big and showing just how funny they can be on tv. It's all too rehearsed. They need to have a game plan obviously but once they're up there they need to go with things a little better, say the things that come to mind however "not funny" they may appear. I want real comedy, real people. We all should.

Kick Back, Relax, And Enjoy The Gifts
Posted November 20, 2007 9:52 AM
That's right guys, it's time to lay back and enjoy the touch of another. Whether it be your wife or girlfriend or massage therapist or, what with the massive shopping about to take place, massage furniture/appliances. Now if you've never had a massage before you'll need to know there are different massages to choose from. Some types include swedish and deep-tissue, Swedish being a lighter and more gentle massage, both of which are very common. With all of the options for massage available though you really have a lot of ways to choose from. Enjoy!

Guy Gifts For The Office Space
Posted November 19, 2007 9:33 AM
Got a bad case of the Mondays? Yeahhhh.. I'm gonna go ahead and have you take a look at these and cheer up a little then.
We know work can be a drag sometimes, but that isn't because it's crappy (not a guarantee). Instead think of it as a loss of the self. It makes perfect sense. You start the job, you like the job, you're there for however long, you start to get annoyed with the job... what comes next. You find some way to get some more of your "self" back in the workplace.

Catch 'Em In The Kitchen
Posted November 16, 2007 12:46 PM
Contrary to popular sexist beliefs guys do spend time in the kitchen. If not the kitchen then they sure better be outside barbecuing or something. Every person should know how to cook no matter who or what they are. It is an essential life lesson, preparing your own food. Doing so usually means having at least a little of the right gear though so this year you might consider helping a guy furnish and advance his kitchen and cooking.

Perfect, A Post-Rock Future
Posted November 13, 2007 9:18 AM
Post-rock has made a huge impact on today's music. A genre name that has fallen out of favor, but continues to describe the style nonetheless. The genre uses musical instruments commonly associated with rock music to create rhythms, harmonies, melodies, timbre, and chord progressions that are not found in rock tradition. An easier way to look at it is the use of 'rock instrumentation' for non-rock purposes. If not already a fan, the music is perfect for any guy that likes to have good music always running in the background and really any guy with a taste for brilliantly composed music.

Unique Gifts for Guys...Who Like to Get Their Drink On
Posted November 9, 2007 12:39 PM
Just something a little different, but who's exactly the same? Getting a unique gift may be a little more expensive or a little more obscure and hard to find (exactly why this is here for you), but when you aren't quite sure what to get you can be guaranteed that something your friend/man/husband hasn't seen or heard of before will make him happy. Obviously keep the gift within his likes and dislikes, but other than that run free. Give it a go and see if some of these gifts are the gift for him.

Darko Choco Definitely Rockos
Posted October 30, 2007 10:15 AM
Chocolate. The gift of the gods, there is not one person in the world who doesn't like chocolate. Some people may say that they don't like it, but really they are just kidding themselves. They don't like Hershey's chocolate or Nestle chocolate or any of that other crap candy. No, real chocolate isn't a candy, it's an explosion of taste bud love that can actually be good for you. The secret? Dark chocolate.

This Guy Knows Halloween
Posted October 29, 2007 10:12 AM

Evil Gaming To Come
Posted October 1, 2007 10:28 AM
Video/computer games hold a dear spot in any guys heart, but the ones that settle in the deepest, darkest parts are always the most intense kind of fun. If you've played F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon or Condemned Criminal Origins
, you'll have some idea as to where we're at, but Clive Barker's Jericho
is going to take the cake. Hitting the shelves October 23, this purely evil video game is going to consume your soul.

Zombies Shmombies We'll Still Be Here
Posted September 24, 2007 10:30 AM
Alright guys we've all wondered what the apocalypse would be like, whether it's a giant meteorite or an alien invasion or (fingers crossed!) zombies. There's been enough movies to give everyone as many ideas as they'll ever need, not to mention whatever your imagination might have dreamed up. Either way none of us is planning on getting bit and turning undead, which is why we need to be prepared for when it does happen.

Apple owns like no other
Posted September 5, 2007 11:22 AM
Steve Jobs held a special event today presenting Apple's productions and plans concerning the iPod and the digital music movement. Apparently Apple is owning, or at least beginning to, in sales of music. How about throwing out some facts and figures, courtesy of Ryan Block over at engadget, so everyone can get an idea: 600 million copies of iTunes distributed, over 3 billion songs purchased on iTunes, and 95 million TV shows purchased. Freaking amazing, but I guess it makes sense seeing as 32% of the music sales last year were solely digital.

Be an angel and play Halo 3
Posted August 24, 2007 9:36 PM
It looks like it's going to be an early Christmas this year guys, three months to be exact so start saving up. The finished Halo 3 code was released by Bungie Studios to manufacturers to start kicking out the retail versions. It's got all the crazy graphics and weapons and storyline that's come to be expected from Halo, but with a surprise addition, a versatile multiplayer map editor called the Forge, which lets you tinker with everything save basic level geometries. According to Brad Shoemaker over at Gamespot the Forge is one-part level editor and one-part Garry's Mod from Half-life 2, which sounds like it'll make for some insane raging multiplayer showdowns. The expected release date is September 25th and can be bought in-store just about everywhere. However if dealing with a mob doesn't sound too enticing you can also preorder Halo 3 online. Take a quick peek at the madness you're in for.

Bucket O' Brew Teases Me Mercilessly
Posted August 13, 2007 7:21 AM
I've received flowers a few times. They make my eyes water. Because I'm allergic, and because, let's face it, it's embarrassing. By the time the 500th person has walked by my desk, winked and said "Oooooh, you have a secret admirer." I want to set the flowers on fire in the parking lot.
Now, if someone would send me a few beers, that'd be great. And now you can: Bucket O' Brew will send a bucket of suds to anyone in...
Dang.
They only deliver in Boise, Eagle, Meridian, Garden City, Caldwell and Nampa. In Idaho.
Oh well. It sure sounds like a good idea. Everyone e-mail Bucket O' Brew - bucketobrew AT qwest DOT net - and tell them you want them to deliver in Washington State, will you?
Reservoir Dogs 15th Anniversary Edition
Posted July 27, 2007 4:18 PM
The Denver Egotist noticed a new version of Reservoir Dogs is coming out, with nifty cool packaging.
The package does not include an ear, as far as I know, or uppers for the depression I inevitably fall into after watching this excellent, but pitch dark, movie.
And Reservoir Dogs is the ultimate guy movie, no question.
Buy it on Amazon, if you want to: Reservoir Dogs On Amazon.
And may I suggest a nice flask for your whiskey? It'll make the movie go down easier.
National Tequila Day
Posted July 22, 2007 9:41 PM
267 reminds us that the 24th is National Tequila Day. Gotta admit I haven't had straight tequila since the Great Tequila Shooter Massacre of , but 267 has some cool infused versions of the stuff that might be worth a look.

Swiss Army - It's Got it All
Posted July 17, 2007 6:30 AM
Really it's not about quality or quantity...it's about both. That little red Swiss Army Knife is still the handiest guy gift around. If you're going to throw down on one though, make sure it's got all the bells and whistles like this awesome Victorinox.

Rockin' Ultimate Hoodie
Posted July 6, 2007 2:02 PM
The Ultimate Hoodie has a management system built into it's threading to allow you to listen to your MP3 player or IPhone without having a tangled mess of wires to slow you down. Everyone loves hoodies as they make both a fashion statement about your youthfulness (even if you're old like me) and they are functional.

No More Cats! I Mean Cat Hair
Posted June 26, 2007 3:54 PM
Let's face facts, guys, we're never going to win the battle of getting rid of her pesky cat, or even convince her that the cat would be happier as an outdoor kitty. Some fights you just have to leave alone. My favorite anti-cat story was when a fed-up boyfriend, angry at one of the many cat misbehaviors decided to exact revenge and did so by defecating (apparently 3 days worth) into the 9 pound kitty's litter box. The boyfriend was thrilled when, in a panic, his lover took the cat to the emergency kitty hospital with a bag filled with the oversized fecal matter and cried that poor fluffy must be extremely ill to have so much number two inside that tiny little body.

Not All Wallets Are Created Equal
Posted June 15, 2007 12:08 PM
Wallets are a tricky thing to buy as a guy gift. Every guy has different needs and not unlike women, they carry a variety of things. Some guys have more credit cards than others and some carry 50 pictures of their kids. Tops on the wallet list is this awesome Tommy Hilfiger Men's Wallet. If you're a vegetarian, this will suit you just fine because it's made out of soft polished lamb.

A Father's Day Must Have Gift
Posted June 11, 2007 3:13 PM
The Weber Baby Q Portable Gas Grill will most likely be the greatest fathers day present you could give dad this year. At only $115 it has all the tools to actually replace dad's big and clunky grill. It's small but mighty and has 189 square inches of primary cooking space. It uses propane, but not the big, clunky containers, this one needs only 14.1 ounce container (think small fire extinguisher size).

Gifts For Chicks?
Posted June 9, 2007 8:59 AM
Well, just this one time. See I was mostly confused to find out that the World Food Feed Bag was a top 3 seller on Amazon and then I discovered what they actually do. You see we really love the idea of feeding the world, and clearly this is for a great cause. The sale of one bag will feed a child for an entire school year. Awesome to spread the wealth as we are the richest nation in the world. As Bono famously said, we don't know how lucky we are that every time we want it we simply turn a handle and we have clean, drinkable water at our fingertips.

Solar Lights - Because the Sun Rules!
Posted June 8, 2007 1:42 PM
Yes the sun is hot...and it's powerful, AND I just decided to spruce up my yard and for the princely sum of $99 bucks I got this awesome Strathwood Chelsea Solar Light (set of 12). These things are selling like hot cakes, and not the lousy wheat laced hot cakes, the really great tasting and fattening Swedish style hot cakes. You get it. They're a top 60 seller at Amazon...so you know it's good - and I hear it's made from real panther too - (an Anchorman reference, oi, now I'm explaining my jokes).

Nothing Like A Cold Beverage
Posted June 4, 2007 3:55 PM
Nothing makes a guy more upset then when he's on his recliner watching the big game and asks his beloved for a cold one only to hear the heartbreaking reply, "Get it yourself you fat mongrel." Which in itself is not remotely upsetting. The upsetting part is when it's followed by, "All the beers are in the garage anyway. They aren't cold." Now that will bring tears to a grown man's eyes.

Get your minds out of the gutter! I'm talking about Harleys!
If you can't afford the Soft Tail or the Fat Boy, or even the Sportster, fear not...your wife probably won't even let you think about buying it anyway. Imagine the tune "You'll shoot your eye out" from a Christmas Story but the lyrics sounding like this, "You'll end up roadkill, you'll end up roadkill." Yeah, forget about it, no Harley for you. Instead we bring you the next best thing.

What Mom Wants For Mothers Day
Posted May 8, 2007 6:08 PM
Ah, Mothers Day...the day where we show our love to the one who gave us life. How can we tell this all important woman how much she means to us? Because truly, mom is number one and she should be revered, however, in the same breath, we don't want to blow too much money on a present...because let's face it pretty soon it'll be her birthday, then ten other birthdays from other family members, and then Christmas will be here, and Valentines Day again...it's exhausting. The truth is, what mom likely really wants is for you to make her a nice dinner at home and maybe give her some lovely flowers.

Poker - A Legal Issue...
Posted May 4, 2007 3:17 PM
...but still a great game. Even though all of the gaming sites were banned by Congress last September as college kids racked up huge debt loads on their cards as the lure proved too much for them, the debate continues as to whether or not poker is a game of luck or of skill. The Wall Street Journal Claims:
"By making the case for poker as a skill, aficionados hope to roll back the law, and win the game newfound freedoms in states where wagering is currently banned."
As lawmakers and poker professionals continue the debate of whether this gutty game is a game of chance or skill, I share with you a story...

Pepper Spray - Still A Cool Guy Gift
Posted April 22, 2007 8:02 AM
It never fails, every time I see Mace pepper spray I automatically think of Ron Burgundy's fight with Veronica Corningstone where he sprays himself in the eye. If this ends up being one of your gifts for him items, make sure he doesn't do that. This particular Mace product is not available for sale in New York or Massachusetts - and as we've all heard from Brian Fantana, "So you know it's good."

The Guy Gift Must Have
Posted April 11, 2007 5:18 PM
You'll occasionally see gift ideas for men that may not initially strike you as being super flashy. Let's face it, you can only say so many wonderful things about the Wii and PS3. They're great. It's tops on the gifts for men list. We get it loud and clear. But then there is a gift like the Porter Cable Variable Speed Orbit Polisher. Those hard water stains on his black car will stand zero chance of survival when this device (originally intended as an orbital sander) gets its polishing pad on the hood.

So, it's Sunday morning. Nobody realizes this but I've managed to sneak a pair of the coolest Golf Ball Cufflinks as good luck charms into Tiger's golf bag in Georgia. It wasn't easy either. First off, try getting into Augusta while the Masters is going on. So if my favorite golfer in the world, who can nearly hit it out there with our very own Guyville Guy can put together an extraordinary round today and win this fantastic golf tournament, you'll know it was these awesome good luck charms.

The Ritual - A Drop Will Do Ya
Posted March 23, 2007 4:05 PM
I am one of those guys who unfortunately eats like a garbage disposal. A normal meal for me consists of meat, garnished with pork, complimented with a side of ground beef cheese potatoes. Yes, I like everything that smells, tastes, feels and rhymes with meat. Even a side of squirrel sounds good on occasion. With that said, I've had some pretty ugly episodes in the bathroom. After my morning coffee my family pretty much bitches, pisses and moans while holding down the button on the can of air freshener for an obnoxious period of time as I unload the prior day's ingestion. Big babies. Now while I'm not the least bit offended by my own smell, I am also a peace loving man, and that is where this fantastic guy gift, The Ritual comes in to save the day. Please, allow me to be clear before you continue reading...if you are in the market for gifts for him...The Ritual is a must have.

Another St. Patrick's Day Gift Idea(s)
Posted March 14, 2007 2:55 PM
You've meditated, gestated, and likely regurgitated ideas for gifts for him for St. Patrick's day, his birthday or whatever holiday is looming close enough for you to seek our guidance. Well, we here at Guyville have a little sumpin sumpin for you. If you're a fan of the site you've likely already seen the Guyville top ten greatest guy movies of all time. We would like to take it a step further and offer the top five best GUY COMEDIES of the last five years. None of them are on our original list, but these five definitely are must haves for the old DVD collection at home.
1. Borat - Cultural Differences For make Benefit...bla bla bla. The title is irrelevant as those five beautiful little letters that spell that wonderful name B-O-R-A-T is all that's necessary.
2. Old School - "Ear Muffs, Jackass!" Which also brings me to think that both Jackass and Jackass 2 deserve honorable mention on this list.
3. Anchorman - The Legend of Ron Burgundy - Oh, this movie just like a fine wine and just keeps getting better and better every year.
4. Wedding Crashers - "I'm gonna go ice my balls and spit up blood." I cried when I saw that scene, but it was one of at least twenty, er, crying scenes in the movie.
5. 40 Year Old Virgin - "know how I know you're gay, you read this entire blog."
As you can see the choices are somewhat crass, lacking class, showing a little ass and absolutely perfect. Don't forget to visit our Guyville Store for more great gifts for men.

Borat - The Guy Gift Must Have
Posted March 11, 2007 6:41 PM
"Hello, my name a Borat. I likey you...I likey sex. Meet my sister she the number 4 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan." We here at Guyville might possibly need to rearrange some things and figure out a way to add this to our Guyville all time top ten guy movies list. Once in a blue moon a film so guycentric and perfect comes along and this is one of those times. If you're looking for a great comedy that broke all of the rules and will likely be fighting lawsuits until your three year-old is a grandparent then this is the guy gift for him.

St. Patrick's Day Gifts for Him
Posted March 9, 2007 3:25 PM
This is as perfect as it gets as far as finding gifts for him goes this St. Patty's day. The Logitech Premium Stereo Headset Microphone fits the bill of being an extremely affordable gift for a not-so-huge as Christmas or a birthday holiday. It also makes me slightly crazy that while I was in a pinch doing some recording work on Garage Band and IMovie I desperately needed a microphone and needed it right away. I hoofed it over to the local Radio Shack and I bought this exact microphone headset and paid the princely sum of $39.99 for it.

I Like It Black...Like My Cologne
Posted March 6, 2007 11:58 AM
Okay, you may be asking yourself, how can we at Guyville possibly recommend a cologne as a potential "gifts for him" when something like a pleasant scent is so clearly subjective? Well, I too would agree with you, normally, but as a gift for my thirty hrmventh birthday, I was given a 4.2 oz bottle of Polo Black and holy cow...it is the finest scented cologne these nostrils have ever taken in.

Gadgets For Men
Posted February 25, 2007 4:50 PM
Here is a must have gadget gift for your guy at home. IPod, meet car, car meet charger, charger meet car and IPod. Now you can enjoy listening to your IPod in your car without getting those pesky tickets for having your ear-phones in. This awesome 3 and 1 Car Kit is a charger and an FM Transmitter with built in IPod holder. Simply plug the FM transmitter into the headphone jack of your mp3 player, tune your car stereo to the clearest FM frequency and listen to your personal collection of tunes. Okay, this is just a must have in the category of gifts for men. Normally it's around $70 bucks, which is a small price to pay to get your favorite music available and at your beck and call, but as of right now it's less than half that, currently on sale for only $27.99.

Gifts For Him for Valentine's Day

Nothing says I love you quite like a pair of soft, new boxers that say, "I love you" on them. In a pinch to find the right gifts for him and time is a wasting? Then get on your horse and give him a guy gift that will make him feel sexy and comfortable every time he slips on his Intimo Men's Boxers. Finding the right gifts for men can be an agonizing task and as each day passes, it doesn't get any easier.

Valentines Day Gifts
Posted January 24, 2007 2:35 PM
The history of Valentine's Day is a little vague, but here is what we know, or think we know...Valentine was likely a priest who lived and served in the third century in Rome. Once the Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made a better choice as soldiers than those who were married, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, smelling an injustice, performed marriages in private so that young lovers could be together properly. Ultimately, Valentine was found out and put to death. Not so great as far as gifts for him went that particular year.

Stop Global Warming
Posted January 21, 2007 11:47 AM
Okay, so we're not a political site, we're not a scientific site, we're not the voice of reason site, in fact, we're not much more than an entertaining product review site specifically for gifts for him. However, I'm on a tear after watching a DVD of "An Inconvenient Truth" a few weeks ago. The day after I watched it I read an article that a piece of a glacier larger than Manhattan had just broken off and was creating a big fear among experts that the fast moving piece of ice could wreak havoc with the oil drilling rigs that might come into it's path.

Gifts For Guys With Imagination
Posted December 29, 2006 12:19 PM

Finding the proper gift for the important men in our lives that already have everything known to mankind is a fairly common problem that many of us face. We would gladly buy him a leather bra for his Ferrari, but alas he already owns three. We'd be first in line to buy him that Nintendo Wii, but he already made a few calls and got it and the PS3 before anyone else in the Northern Hemisphere. It would seem that the perfect gift for this resourceful and difficult to buy for fellow, would be a pre-paid Visa, MasterCard or AMEX. Anyone on the planet can use it to buy just about anything, so what would be the problem?

Last Minute Shopping – Guy Style
Posted December 19, 2006 8:46 AM
Ah, yes, the holidays are here and Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa wouldn’t be what they are without some last minute shopping chaos. If you’re like most guys, it’s conceivable that you have not even begun your holiday shopping yet. You know the lines at the mall are going to be out the door for the next week. You are acutely aware that you have to work every day until Christmas Eve too. “Big dealâ€, you think to yourself, “I manage to get it done every year and this year will be no different.†We here at Guyville
would like to remind you that buying a three-pound bag of candy canes and a cheesy card at the local grocery store probably doesn’t go over all that well with your loved ones. Even that bottle of Cold Duck likely doesn’t impress them anymore. So if you’re stuck on coming up with a great, versatile and easy to shop for gift that absolutely everyone will love, try an Amazon
Gift Certificate.

Winning is For Losers
Posted December 17, 2006 9:06 PM
Chris Daughtry didn't need to win American Idol to get noticed. Cream always rises to the top and though he was always a fan favorite and while we cringed when he was ousted and outlasted by Elliot Yamin, we always somehow knew he'd find his way back to the top. While it seems hard to believe that he turned down an offer to be the front man for an already successful band, Fuel, Daughtry will ultimately have the last laugh.

Featured Product of the Week: Philips Norelco on the 'Cutting Edge' of Shaving
Posted December 12, 2006 1:37 PM
I have no idea what took the rest of the shaving world so long to create a product like the Philips Noreclo Bodygroomâ„¢. Let's face it, our women have been insisting on metro-sexualizing all of us for years, and keeping all parts of our extremities, torso and, er, twig and berries nice, clean and tight is part of the deal. I, actually, have been grooming since the tender age of eighteen as I turn into a shag carpet as each full moon approaches, or roughly once a month if I don't tackle the arduous task of doing a full body grooming.
