How to Perform the Stigmata

Stigmata, that crazy card trick in which the spectator picks a card, and you make that number appear on your arm without even knowing the card. I found a pretty good explanation how to do it, and with some practice, it seems easy with a big payoff.

Hoodie in the Dryer

So after a lady-friend sleeps over, being a gentlemen is the best way to make up for the long night of drunken debauchery that just took place. If you wake up from your alcohol induced coma first, pop her hoodie in the dryer so when she leaves.It’ll be nice and toasty, a warm reminder of how awesome and thoughtful you are, and a very good reason for her to forget that you’re a sloppy drunk at night.

Be careful of shrinking or ruining the fabric. And no, you don’t have to wet the thing first.

Window Pickle Races

So we all get bored eating at McDonalds, Burger King, or whatever fine fast food establishment you might be at tonight. So grab some pickles and some ketchup and get yourself a nice window seat, this trick is easy. Get a friend to race, and put some ketchup on one side of your pickle. Slap it on the window. Ready, set, go.

JD’s Man Stories

So recently one of my favorite websites and one of the best guy’s websites on the web linked me on his site after I talked to him to get his opinion about this blog. I know his site has been in my Top 5 Guy’s Websites, but I just wanted to toss this site out there again

http://jdsmanstories.net/

The site’s got some of the craziest stories I’ve heard in my life, from having secret sex under a blanket during a game of truth or dare to humping chicks on the dance floor after having a bit too much spiced rum. I found it after watching his hilarious video “While I Was Away” on collegehumor.com

Cereal Bowl in the Freezer

Ice cold cereal is the only thing some people can wake up to in the mornings. But icy milk? That’s just gross. Put your bowl in the freezer at night for the best cereal in the mornings.

Be a Man: Part 2, Bettering Yourself Constantly

Why do we hit plateaus and dry spots in our happiness? Why do some relationships fail? Why do we sometimes just feel out of it and wonder where our life is headed?

When you get this feeling, it’s because you’ve stopped a crucial aspect of life, bettering yourself. DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE, better yourself. I’ll be listing some examples later, but right now, let me explain a little more…

When you’re bettering yourself either mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, you are not only occupying your time with something hopefully worthwhile, you are also gaining valuable skills which possibly attract the opposite sex, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Why? Women don’t want a lazy slob who thinks once he’s landed himself a girl, can just sit around doing nothing. Why does this laziness occur during relationships? Most men only workout, read, go to church, etc, to attract women, once they’ve completed this task, mission over.

If you want to avoid those pesky, “Where the hell is my life taking me?” moments of zen, then always be constantly bettering yourself.

Here’s a huge list of stuff to get you started:

1. Working out, getting a six pack, huge biceps, and ripped calves is never a waste of time.
2. Read the classics- The Great Gatsby, Moby Dick, Of Mice and Men, etc.
3. Watch the classics- hey movies can be considered bettering yourself too. Be sure to see Phantom of the Opera, A Few Good Men, and every Al Pacino movie ever made.
4. Read up on philosophy- Socrates, Aristotle, Hume, Locke, etc.
5. Memorize the presidents and their party- It’s amazing how few people can tell you every president.
6. Take up an instrument- No, I don’t mean learn to play that electric guitar you’ve had forever. Try the piano, violin, a brass instrument, or even an acoustic guitar. Preferably something that can be listened to on its own.
7. Running- There are thousands of 5ks each year that you can train for, pick one in your town, and try to place well. You WILL become addicted.

This list will be added to in the near future.

Product: Tide to Go

Let’s face it, accidents happen, people look stupid. What makes one able to overcome these accidents with ease, is what makes people seem poised and perfect, as though nothing will stop you. That’s why there should always be a tide to go in your car’s glove compartment, or in your jacket pocket.
