Ultimate Waste of Money?

By

Unlike many people, the whole Guitar Hero thing hasn’t struck a chord with us here at Manlyweb–we can’t play a real guitar, but if my choices were to try to learn Guitar Hero, or learn the real guitar, the real guitar wins every time–at least chicks might dig that.

Even our most frequent hangout, known for beer, wings, and owls, has fallen prey, recently bringing in an Xbox, and has regular Guitar Hero tournaments.  We typically sit in a back corner and mock those playing, and wonder how they expect to make money from a bunch of kids who order … more>>

Beer Facts

By

I was cruising the net this morning, actually looking at some work related blogs that I regularly check out, when I came across an article called ‘15 Beer Factoids That Will Make You Look Smart.’

Being a bit of a beer connoisseur (love that MGD), I thought I’d check it out. 

To be honest, I think a title of ’15 Beer Factoids That Will Make Your Friends Think You’re a Beer Snob’ or ’15 Beer Factoids that will make your Friends Want to Punch You’ would be more accurate.  Or maybe ’15 Beer Factoids That Will Make Your … more>>

Leatherheads

By

OK, we get a lot of emails about upcoming movies, CDs, etc.  Every once in a while, one peaks our interest.

The other day, we got one that did just that: Leatherheads.

Scrolling through the email, we see a picture that makes it look promising:

And we think, “Well, it’s got George Clooney, but that might not be all bad.  And he’s got a black eye, and John Krasinski is probably the guy who gives it to him, and that might be funny.  And the tag line of ‘In the beginning, the rules were simple. There weren’t any.’, that’s actually … more>>

Back from Vegas!

By

Well, we actually got back from Vegas Tuesday night.  We were going to blog while we were there, but we didn’t get around to getting the computer out.  And we were going to blog when we got back, but…well…we didn’t right away.  Tough.

The trip went well–won some money in the sports book, won even more at the tables, and didn’t get arrested.  Unfortunately, we missed the ‘Pole-a-Palooza’ at The Mirage on Tuesday night.  Next time, better planning.

Some quick reviews:

  • Stayed at the Golden Nugget downtown.  It was nice.  Not great.  Not as good as last time, but nice

New Frontier Imploded

By

The New Frontier was imploded in Las Vegas on Tuesday morning, mere days before Manlyweb makes its triumphant return to Vegas, marking the end of another icon of Vegas.  While not as well known as many of its neighbors (and frankly not as high of a profile implosion as the Stardust’s demise last March), the New Frontier was a Las Vegas Strip mainstay since 1942, was considered the Strip’s first themed casino, and hosted Elvis Presley’s debut in the city in 1956.

In recent years, the casino was known more for being one of the few options in the heart … more>>

Playboys for Playoff Tickets

By

So it’s not the most timely article, but some yahoo in Colorado wanted to trade 25 years worth of Playboys for tickets to see his Rockies get their asses kicked in the World Series.  In and of itself not that big of a deal.  Here’s the problems I have with it:

  • The wife wanted them gone because they were “taking up too much room in the basement”.  Get over it.  Buy some plastic totes, and stack them in the corner.  It’s 300 issues.  You probably have more than 300 recent copies of those crappy entertainment rags and magazines where women
