What Was I Thinking?

This was my feeble attempt at being Emo for Halloween. Sara was Little Miss Charm School, I think she pulled it off better. For the record, yes, I'm wearing eyeliner and nail polish.

Actual Pumpkin of the Day

Via MMOABC and keeping with the theme of the day, here are some crazy-good pumpkin carvings. You'll never look at a pumpkin the same again.

Funny Halloween Costumes

Found via Say No to Crack, here are some people who pushed their creative minds to the limit and came up with some pretty funny costumes.

Men Get Better With Age?

I'd like to thank The Tom Leykis Show for pointing me to this article from the New York Post. The article goes into the controversial topic of older men dating much younger women. But instead of going into the psychological reasons why we see this phoenomenon so often, it goes into the biological and evolutionary. Here's a little snippet, you can access the whole article by clicking the link above.

Scientifically speaking, once people can no longer reproduce, they cease to have a biological purpose. For women, the "wall of death" age, as evolutionary theorists so cheerfully call it, is about 50. But men - and here's where the testosterone kicks in - can reproduce into their late 70s, so long as they have good genes and, well, good equipment.

So, when an older man mates with a young woman, he's essentially postponing death. And his long-life genes - you know he's got them if he can have kids at that age - get passed on to his children.

"Men who have children at a late age help to make natural selection work to protect human survival, because they are passing on more genes. It's just the way we've evolved as humans," Puleston says.

Blog Updates

For all two people (I hope) that actually read my blog, I finally fixed the stupid layout problems I was having and I freshened up the template a bit. Let me know what you think!

Fake Trailer: West Side Story

Having finally seen this movie somewhat recently, I had a good laugh. This is very well done and fitting for halloween.

Actual Product of the Day: The Midnight Card

From the makers of the Douche Card I reported on early this year, here comes The Midnight Card! On one side we have everybody's favorite crime-fighter-who-thinks-his-car-is-talking-to-him, Michael Knight. On the other side the caption reads:

this face leaves at midnight

be on it...

Classic.

Poll: Bullshit Is Most Important Issue For 2008 Voters

Sadly, talking about bullshit seems to work well for the cable news ratings. Of course, without the news outlets talking about bullshit, hilarious shows like the Daily Show and Colbert Report wouldn't have nearly as much material to work with. Barrack Obama's American-flag-lapel-pin-gate comes to mind. Either way, this video is hilarious.

5 Things You Should Never Say to a Woman

Found via The Bachelor Guy, here are some tips men can use to get their women to shut up communicate with them. They all seem so obvious at first but also seem very easy to get wrong. The major problem I see is that, during a fight, the partner's feelings sadly are not always considered. Here's the comical top five:

Ever said something you thought was completely innocent to an angry woman - trying to be a good guy and diffuse the situation - only to have your words add fuel to the fire? Yeah, me too. It's a regular occurrence, like the changing of the tides, or our president mispronouncing a word. But Sarah Miller, a relationship expert over at Men's Health, has a list of the worst things you can say to an angry woman. Along with some phrases you should be using. (Memorize them, men.)

The big five no-no's are:
1 - "Relax." (Apparently telling a woman who is freaking out to relax, is akin to telling her she has no reason to be upset. Never a good idea.)

2 - "I love you" when said during a fight. (This one is only to be used after the fight.)

3 - "It's up to you." A.K.A. "Whatever you want to do is fine with me."
(You're basically telling her you don't care.)

4 - "You knew I was this way when you married me." (Good idea, blame her for not realizing you're a jackass.)

5 - Saying nothing at all. (In this case, silence is not golden.)
