Nov 4 2009 How To: Open A Wine Bottle Sans Corkscrew
Ever needed to open a bottle of wine but didn't have a corkscrew? Apparently all you need a shoe and something rock hard. LIKE MY ASS ABS ASS. Alternatively, break the top off and chug the whole bottle. I mean, unless you're cool being a sissy boy. Trust me, manliest way to drink wine. AND THERE AREN'T MANY.

Jun 6 2009 (May) Deter Suitors: Fake Engagement Ring Kit
Ms. Taken is a fake engagement ring that comes in a discreet keychain holder so you can secretly slide it on before some dingdong at the bar tries to talk to you about how much money he makes being a giant effing loser. It costs $50 and I just bought them out. No more fooling me, ladies! Yeah, one time a chick tried to tell me she was engaged with a Ring-Pop on. I asked her who was she engaged to, Candyman? Then she said she'd summon him if I didn't leave so I ran home crying and broke all my mirrors. You know, because I'd hate to have to WHIP HIS WILLY WONKA ASS.
Hit the jump for two shots of the ring and a relatively must-see video ad they made which is a parody of The Lonely Island's Jizz In My Pants. Seriously, how'd that get there?

May 15 2009 Trick BBall Shots: Now With More Shotgun!
In the same vein as the beer pong video, this is a video of a group of guys that call themselves Dude Perfect making a bunch of ridiculous basketballs shots. Mostly they're just shooting from like two miles away, but they do some drive-by shots using a truck as well. But really, you came here to see the shotgun shot, so skip to 0:55.
Well, what did you think? Hoping he'd blow his foot off? Yeah, same. :(
Thanks to Harry, who once sunk one from downtown. I don't even know what that means, but he did it.
May 5 2009 But Wait, There's More: Beer Pong Trick Shots
This is like 900 hours of beer pong trick shot footage cut down to 3:41. I'm sure most of you will hate it, but there will always be a soft spot in my heart for college-aged boys playing with their ba...ba...ba...buddies. Haha, you thought I was gonna say balls. I HAVE WHAT THEY CALL SELF CONTROL! Also, a Master's degree in Geekologie. mE=mcAwesome!
Thanks to Dave, who, for the tip, can play on my team at the weekly beer pong tournament at Orange Ball in Rockville, MD. Airfare not included, sorry buddy.
Dec 3 2008 Look, I'm A Magician!: Levitating Water
Levitating water isn't actually levitating at all. In fact, the shit's just falling. Like rocks. Rocks of water. Did that just blow your mind? It only LOOKS like it's levitating due to sorcery and, quite possibly, a little witchcraft as well. Fine, strobe lights. Regardless, it's still pretty damn cool, and I would definitely drink from it. I'd drink it dry! Like a desert. No oasis here folks, just a guy spooning a camel. And speaking of Camels: Joe. Who else had a crush on him?

Thanks to Melissa, who thinks levitation is weak sauce because she can fly. I just want X-ray vision.
Jul 11 2008 Redneck Mansion: Too Good To Be True
I knew when I saw these pictures they were too good to be true. And sadly, they are. I had to do some interweb spelunking but, finally, got to the bottom of their origin. Touted around the net as a "redneck mansion", the structure was actually the set for a performance of Anton Chekhov's play Ivanov at an outdoor theater in Amsterdam. So yeah, shit. Still an awesome setup though, I'd totally live there. Anybody want to get together and build something similar? I'm thinking something like an Ewok village in the trees, but with double-wides. Who's with me? Also, I apologize to all of those who had their hopes up for this being a real redneck mansion. Believe me, I was right there with you. This is the second time in 24 hours I've been tricked into thinking something was something that it's not. The first being the dude still asleep in my bed.
Hit the jump for a couple more pictures of the thing.
Mar 6 2008 One String Willie Plays Guitar With One String
One String Willie is a recovering smack addict who used to turn tricks in a parked van to pay for his next fix. Not really, he's just some guy that likes playing a guitar with one string. I think his song is pretty impressive. You may not. But think about this -- if he's that good with just one string, imagine what he could do with, uh, half of one string. Not as much as a whole one? Really? Damn I hate fractions.

Jan 16 2008 Magic Fireballs Are So Freaking Awesome
Learn how to make your own magic fireballs with a piece of cloth, some string, and lighter fluid! Check out the video, they're freaking awesome and don’t look that dangerous. I'm running to the gas station right now to get some lighter fluid so I can make some. I'll update and let you know if they're as fun as they look.
UPDATE: I burnt the freaking house down.

Jan 14 2008 Overkill: Opening A Beer With A Chainsaw
Now you know how much I hate to brag, but I can bite the top off a beer bottle if I need to. I sure as hell don't need a damn chansaw to do the job for me. And if the guy in the video is any indication of the type of person that opens a beer bottle with a chainsaw, that type of person is an idiot. I do like the noise the top makes though when it flies off. However I was hoping the dude would do a little more cutting, like, oh, all of his toes off. You know, the ones protected by his black sock and sandal.
