2009 World Series of Beer Pong

January 6, 2009 By The Guys

Well, maybe next year–Manlyweb once again forgot to book their tickets for the annual World Series of Beer Pong. Even after writing about the 2008 World Series of Beer Pong. Looks like we need to set a reminder in our calendars.

The 2009 World Series of Beer Pong was won by Ron Hamilton and Michael Popielarski, both 25, of New York. They will split the $50,000 top prize.

And with quotes like this, you know we’ll never stop following it:

“I know the media will say this is a chugging contest,” he said. “This is about a sport, it’s … more>>

Moviegoer Shoots Man on Cell Phone

December 31, 2008 By The Guys

In a case of “I don’t condone it, but I understand it” (or as a local radio station said, it fits Chris Rock’s take on OJ Simpson of “Not saying [he should have done it]…but I understand”), a movie patron in Philadelphia got fed up with a man talking loudly on his cell phone during the movie, so he pulled his gun and shot him in the arm.

Amazingly, 29-year old James Joseph Cialella Jr. then proceeded to sit back down (as the rest of the theater emptied out), and continued watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button until … more>>

More Sports Injuries Added

November 9, 2008 By The Guys

Watching the Vikings game today, saw another one of those gruesome sports injuries that for some reason facinate us. Unfortunately it was a Viking–Charles Gordon–suffering the injury (which, in our expert medical opinion, was probably a dislocated and broken ankle, and/or broken leg).

Also reminded us that someone recently sent us a link to a YouTube video of a University of Houston receiver running full speed into a cart beyond the end zone, suffering a compound fracture of his leg. I’m going to go out on a limb…and say that those carts won’t be there any more.

If you need me, I’ll be on my way to Pennsylvania

October 17, 2008 By The Guys

Clearfield, Pennsylvania, to be exact. That’s the home to Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub. And that is the home of “The Beer Barrel Belly Buster,” a 15-pound hamburger that comes with 5 pounds of toppings and a bun.

And Brad Sciullo recently became the first person to ever eat the 15-pound burger by himself, in under 5 hours. Video of the event is here. For doing so, he won $400 and three t-shirts. No word on whether or not he had to down the fat and gristle to get the shirts.

Of course, since the 15-pounder is … more>>

Man Suing Strip Club over Shoe Incident

October 17, 2008 By The Guys

A man in Florida is suing a strip club over a dancer’s flying shoe. At least, that’s what the headline reads–which sounds ridiculous.

As it turns out, it’s a bit more complicated than that–the shoe, which came off during a pole dance, flew off into the mirrored ceiling–causing the mirror to shatter, and rain glass down around the man (along with the shoe).

He is suing the club (called the Booby Trap) for breaching its duty when its employee failed to perform her routine in a reasonably safe manner. He claims he suffered a small cut to his eyebrow, … more>>

Lawyer Wrongfully Suspended?

September 20, 2008 By The Guys

A lawyer in DeKalb, Illinois, was suspended for 15-months for misconduct this past week by the The Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, simply for harkening back to the days of yesterday, and utilizing the barter system with one of his clients to cover part of her bill.

The lawyer and his client agreed that they would trade professional services–so, she got some lawyering done for her, and he got some lap dancing done for him.

It was a win-win situation, until she claimed that he inappropriately touched her during the dances, and went to police. No charges were … more>>
