Man Rams Playboy Gates

August 28, 2008 By The Guys

A Ventura County man was arrested last week after ramming his car into the gates of the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills. After his release, he went back and did it again–but escaped before police could arrive. No word on whether Hugh Hefner and his girlfriends were home at the time. Detectives believe the incident was related to an ongoing dispute–no word on whether it was related to the man’s failure to secure an invite to a party, or perhaps their continuing futile efforts to help keep Pamela Anderson’s career relevant.

Perhaps the funniest part of the story? In Hollywood, … more>>

Bikini Lawn Care Service

June 16, 2008 By The Guys

We make fun of the local news sometimes because of the ridiculous stories that they broadcast, claiming to be news or human interest, but in reality are just time filler.

But we’ve never seen the local news do a story like this.

All the female broadcasters were out for the day, so the horny old news director gets to play?

Not that I’m complaining–a puff piece on a bikini news service is a lot better than most of what they could have come up with. But wow…I’m surprised some feminazi organization hasn’t been all over them for that.

Oh, and … more>>

Illinois Man Plans to Go Out In Style

May 5, 2008 By The Guys

Back in college, one of the bars near our house used to have quarter tap beer nights, where you could get a [small] glass of beer for a quarter. The catch was, it was PBR. But it was a quarter, so you know we bought it–often 3-4 per person at a time.

Illinois resident Bill Bramanti would likely define our local college bar as heaven. Because when it comes to beer, Bill Bramanti is a PBR guy–to the core.

So much so, in fact, that he recently ordered a casket made to look like a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can… more>>

I Thought This Was Funny…

March 5, 2008 By The Guys

So, I think we’ve mentioned before that we get emails about movie releases, books, CDs, and new products fairly frequently. And every once in a while, we actually respond, because, well, we don’t mind free stuff.

So we responded to one a couple weeks back, mainly because they called us a valued blogger, and asked for our address to send us something. So I thought, “Finally, someone recognizes my value as a blogger,” and send along my address. And promptly forgot about it, like I usually do.

Well, yesterday, a box showed up on the doorstep. And I was curiously … more>>

PETA Isn’t Finger Lickin’ Good

February 11, 2008 By The Guys

In news much more amusing to us than a hockey player getting his neck cut during a game, PETA is opposing a recent proposed bill in Kentucky that would name KFC as the state’s “Offical Picnic Food.”

Proposed by State Representative Charles Siler, the bill is aimed to recognize that KFC has brought worldwide attention and economic benefit to the state since first served by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1940. Today the chain has 11,000 restaurants in 80 countries.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals opposes the legislation, to no surprise (they also have tried to … more>>

‘Girls Next Door’ Get Third Cover

January 30, 2008 By The Guys

Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, stars of the best of the E! network’s pathetic lineup of crappy reality TV shows, will be featured on their third Playboy cover in February. The issue will feature the annual Playboy Sexiest Celebrity List–which somehow still includes Britney Spears. Apparently bald is beautiful–as is abso-f#$%^&-lutely craziness. The fact that it’s such a slow news day that I’m posting something about Britney Spears really bugs me, too.… more>>
