This Christmas, you can go with the norm. You can make sugar cookies that look like Christmas Trees or Santa Claus. You could make the typical (and still a good choice) chocolate chip cookies. You could make cookies in the shapes of candy canes or stars, Snowmen or Reindeer, or even those bells. But if you do that, you have to rely on some really good baking skills in order to get high praise for your Christmas treat creations. If you are one of those people that has Paula Dean’s cookbook memorized…backwards, then by all means make those ”common” cookies.
Are you someone who isn’t that good at cooking? Do you need people to recognize your baked goods for something other than their mediocre taste? Or are you a great baker but you want to set yourselves apart? Do you want to express your self-made independence to the baking community? Do you want to pull a Robert Frost? Then take the road less traveled and make your own little army of karate kids. I’m talking about Gingerbread Men 2.0…ones that have been trained by Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee in the arts of Jujitsu & Taekwondo.
Ninjabread Men!
So if you want to deliver a roundhouse kick to the face of your competition this Christmas, then go out and buy some of these awesome cookie cutters. For less than $10, you can start your own little army of deliciousness.
Right off the bat, I want to let you know that I will give a generalized review and try not to reveal many of the details…definitely don’t want to spoil anything for you.
With that said…when I go see a movie, I try not to think of it in terms of wow, that was a really well done movie or that movie is in my top 10. I try to think of it in this sense (business) – I just paid $6-$12 to see that, did it entertain me enough to be worth my cost. After this movie, I was satisfied. It definitely entertained me to the point where I was happy with our choice.
As the credits rolled, my girlfriend summed the entire movie up in one phrase…”The Bourne Identity, only not as good.” Liam Neeson continues his impressive performances in high action roles, which is thoroughly amazing since he is in his 60′s. January Jones looks good in the movie, but her acting skills did not impress one bit…not one ounce of personality. Diane Kruger was much better and provided a strong supporting role.
It is hard to really give my opinion on this movie within going into further details and possibly spoiling the movie for you. This movie won’t win any awards for tremendous acting, groundbreaking cinematography, or a fantastic plot. If you like action, being intrigued, and seeing a 60+ year old badass take his life back, then I would recommend going to see this movie in the theatres. If you are still on the fence or skeptical, just wait until it comes out on NetFlix or RedBox.
For those of you who have yet to see the animated movie, “Despicable Me”…this little clip should be enough to motivate you to get up off of your couch and go rent the movie from RedBox. I mean come on, its a $1 or free if your name is Frugal Fannie and you get their promo code. This adorable little girl is Agnes and she really wanted this stuffed Unicorn for one spectacular reason…because It’s so FLUFFY!
And now for the Dubstep Remix by DJ Turntable. Well done sir. Well done.
From the men who brought you “My Dick in a Box”, “Iran So Far”, and “I’m On A Boat”, comes a new video “I Just Had Sex” featuring Akon. Anyway, I have no idea what to really say about this, except it entertains. It’s got a catchy chorus, funny lyrics, Akon, Johnny McEnroe, a congratulations cake, fireworks, and turtleneck sweaters. It doesnt hurt that the two girls were Blake Lively and Jessica Alba.
Back at the prime of the Super Bowl days, the Budweiser frogs were at the top of the commercial marketing world for the different brands of beers. Since then, new players have stepped into the lime light, such as Jameson Whiskey, Captain Morgan, Coors Light, Red Stripe, Malibu, and of course….Dos Equis. As I am sure you are well familiar with the most interesting man in the world, there is still a lot the commercials do not tell you about this extraordinary individual…such as…his name. Let’s start with the things we do know:
Things we know about the Dos Equis man:
He doesn’t usually drink beer, but when he does…he prefers Dos Equis
His beard is definitely real
His Charisma rivals that of Brad Pitt and Tom Brady
His normal attire is a tux
Outside of what we have mentioned above, the commercials do give us a little more information about this man, so if you want to know what those facts are…check out the commercials. I would like to move beyond the television marketing and fill you in on the more fascinating facts about this fascinating person. Enjoy.
Once while sailing around the world, he found a shortcut.
He has never owned a credit card, his word is good enough.
He once swam the English Channel, while in the French Riviera
When he swam the English Channel, he did it backstroke, so his cigar didnt get wet.
He is banned from the Virgin Islands, for fear they would have to change their name.
It only takes him 30 minutes to watch “60 minutes”
He asked Chuck Norris to punch him in the face so he could feel pain…it didnt work.
He’s the only man who can tell a book by its cover
He can read Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face”
He shared a beer with Neil Armstrong when he arrived on the moon (it was a Dos Equis)
Sharks have a week dedicated to him
He knows Victoria’s “Secret”
Kids…if you are looking for a role model…look no further.
Everyone can relate to the crisp and refreshing taste of a nice cold beer after a long, hard day at the office.
When I get home, all I can think about is how I just spent 9 Hours dealing with people who apparently have a “degree”…yet they cant count to 10 or spell “Excel”. The only hour of sanity I had all day was when I sat in the parking lot at Chick-Fil-A indulging myself on 8 tasty nuggets and some sweet tea while listening to Yanni. I swear on my way home people must think I am coked up cause that is when all of my pent up rage from my wonderful workday gets unleashed. BUT…when I get home, my stress is gone and I love enjoying a nice cold one while watching Monday Night Football.
Now, that is all well in good. What if I told you there was a way to enjoy a brewski in between your meetings or trips to the copier? What if happy hour ran from 2 pm to 3 pm? If this sounds like something you would be interested in, than take a look at the pictures below. No further instruction necessary.
Do you see anything out of the ordinary?? No? Exactly the point.
What about now?? Just a couple of boxes of high quality Boise paper, right?
Ahh…Creativity is a gift that should not be squandered…instead, it should be shared.
In the past, I have suggested new TV shows that are awesome and can replace the same old sitcoms that you are used to watching. Here are a couple of my latest suggestions that all air on Thursday.
#1. The League (FX)
The League is a fresh new show about one of the greatest things in American society, Fantasy Football. This show follows 5 guys through the NFL season and their quest to hold the glorious trophy, The Shiva. The best part about this show is that a ton of people can relate, because come on…who doesn’t love Fantasy Football. If that isn’t enough, they have guest appearances from celebrities, most recently – Chad Ochocinco…Child Please!
Airs – Thursdays at 10:30
#2 – It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (FX)
Cats in the Wall…now you’re talking my language! This show is not new, but it is hilarious. The characters are awesome, the plots are ridiculous and outlandish, and you will quickly learn to love these awful people.
Airs – Thursdays at 10:00 (right before #1 – The League)
#3 – Community (NBC)
Community follows a study group through their experiences at a Colorado Community College. It is full of witty comedy which is made real through a very diverse group of characters, my favorite being Abed, the film student
After a long day at work, most of us are tired or stressed or frustrated or some fabulous mixture of all three. We look for ways to unwind and relax. There is nothing better than coming home and watching a new episode of your favorite show like The Office, Modern Family, or Community. However, what happens if you are working late and you not only miss the newest episode, but you didn’t DVR it. Well, if you don’t want to wait a week for it to show up on OnDemand, then I have the perfect solution. http://www.hulu.com/ Hulu is a website that allows you to watch all of the episodes from your favorite shows right on your computer.
Hulu is a joint venture between NBC and Providence Equity Partners. It has a huge database of tv shows, clips, movies, and movie trailers. At the beginning of each episode or movie, you have to watch a brief advertisement and then you can watch the full episode commercial free. It is perfect for catching up on a show before the new season starts or watching the latest episode you missed during its primetime airing. To give you an idea, it already has the first episode of “The Event”. It really provides the everyday person with the luxury of being able to watch your shows when you want.
Also, if you have a Vizio or Samsung TV that has the internet apps built in, look for the Hulu app, which will be coming soon.
