The fact that she was born in 1995 is a little disturbing, however she is the center of our attention right now.

Sports Illustrated continue to give us gift wrapped presents every year, and the fact that they are dressed in only swimsuits is just delightful.

Ever wondered what to do with that old 1960’s double decker bus sitting outside your house?  Turn it into a pub like this legend.

Peter Sonneveld spent 20 months turning the beat up bus into a shiny new public house.

As the bus is over 30 years old, he doesn’t need a special license to drive it.

One problem he didn’t think of though, he is 6ft 6in and to be able to pull a pint at the bar you need to be 5ft 7in.

Easy problem to fix, he hires a bunch of hot women to act as waitresses.

The guy is so confident in his new found business that he quit his job and has bought another bus to add to the fleet. I’m guessing he is thinking franchise.

The business plan is to attend festivals, events and concerts.

That’s how angry we are, we are using capitals.

This is becoming an epidemic now in Men’s Fashion. It used to be reserved for the biggest morons you could find, and that was ok. Sadly, it is now appearing on the streets everywhere.

Men are making the decision / choice, whatever you want to call it, to put on their leather shoes / loafers without socks. Even worse, they seem to want to make sure the entire world knows just how much of an a$$ they are, as they are rolling up their trouser legs.

We found this quote on (Mademan – An awesome website by the way) and thought it summed our thoughts up perfectly-

“When you wear dress shoes without socks, you look unfinished. You look like a man-boy in a short suit. You look like a guy named ‘Blake’ who wants to tell you about his yacht that never leaves the slip.”

In short, you look like your feet stink and you aren’t classy enough to wear socks.

Sock game is a crucial part of any man’s fashion game.

Check out these beauties for example –

No socks is only appropriate in a very few limited scenarios –

Flip Flops

You forgot to take the trash out and are chasing the garbage truck

Your hungover, and putting on your socks to go to the shop for bacon may kill you

Think about it. Stinky feet are the worst thing I can think of, especially if you are in public, or a professional setting. Feet sweat at the best of times in optimum temperatures. Put them in leather shoes, with no socks and steamy conditions, you have the ingredients of a shit show.

Your feet will sweat profusely, the sweat breeds good old bacteria, which we all know is a nasty thing to have in your shoe. The leather shoes have no outlet for the sweat or bacteria to go so they just sit there and fester. Remember, Bacteria is dead skin that thrives in moisture. So by wearing no socks you are loading up your shoes with nastiness, then you get home and take your foot out and go de-stink it quickly. Unfortunately no one is cleaning the shoe, so the next day you put the no-sock foot back in there, you are doubling down on bacteria.

Please stop this disgusting madness now, let us know if you need socks and we will send you some.

The one-time War on Marijuana has come under heavy scrutiny over allegations of reckless exaggerations and outright deceptions.

Perhaps as recently as ten years, and certainly in decades leading up to that, marijuana was utterly taboo. After-school specials were run warning of the nebulous dangers of weed and how smoking even a single joint was a sure ticket to inescapable addiction, which could only end with the foolish, red-eyed victim desperately stealing his mother’s jewelry for cash to satisfy a voracious, evil drug peddler.

The substance was regarded with the moral equivalence of heroin and cocaine, for it was famously called a gateway drug: take a hit of weed, and not only will you become enslaved, but soon harder narcotics will control your fate. You will be miserable. Your family will panic with worry over your health, and your friends will leave you. The only winner in all of this is that evil drug dealer, who knew this would happen so well that he offered you your first joint for free. He’s laughing all the way to the bank.

How times have changed. In modern American culture, the one-time War on Drugs has come under heavy scrutiny over allegations of reckless exaggerations and outright deceptions, and any ongoing effort to demonize marijuana specifically is typically seen as pure propaganda.

This burgeoning trend away from the “pot is harmful” mindset – that was so prevalent in recent times – is reflected in the day’s legislation. As of the time of this writing, no fewer than 23 states have legalized marijuana in varying ways. That includes places like California, Illinois, and New York (among many others), which allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes, and it includes Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, each of which now have laws explicitly permitting the possession of cannabis for recreational use.

These last four states have heralded the boom of the legal pot industry in the United States. Sales of the newly-legal substance were calculated at a serious $2.4 billion in 2014, a 74% increase from 2013’s numbers, with estimates floating the potential for an $11 billion market by 2019.

Of course, the exact rate of the industry’s growth is hard to project with veracity, because it depends so much on what happens politically. The trend is clear, and it seems likely that more states will legalize marijuana as time goes on rather than existing allowances be repealed (which would surely contract the market). But which states will legalize when is by no means clear. Experts on pot legislation (an important occupation, now, since marijuana sales are big business and getting bigger) speculate that by 2020, California, Nevada, Arizona, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, Montana, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Delaware will fully allow recreational marijuana, bringing the total of such states to 18. This would lead to a consistently explosive growth of revenues from cannabis sales – but, of course, the failure of a substantial number of these states to satisfy the prediction, or a glut of unexpected legalizations, could adjust the numbers up or down precipitously.

The sweep to legalize marijuana in the US has had some positive consequences. Notably, in a case similar to the repeal of Prohibition, organized crime is suffering – specifically the Mexican drug cartels that rely on illegal pot sales for a sizable portion of their revenue. The U.S. border patrol has reported that seizures of inbound Mexican marijuana along the border have fallen to ten-year lows because of the collapsing black market. Prices for pot from south of the border have taken a hit, too – one American newspaper quoted a Mexican marijuana farmer as saying, “If the U.S. continues to legalize pot, they’ll run us into the ground.”

Of course, as the market expands, new challenges emerge. Legalized marijuana is a new business, and that means few (if any) regulations exist upon it. American pot growers have been found using dubious pesticides and other chemicals on their crops to maximize production and sales, leading to concerned distributors and users taking legal action. With the government being practically provoked into action, it could choose to rain regulation over the entire industry like the wrath of God, hopefully safeguarding consumers but almost certainly putting the brakes on business growth.

Marijuana is the single fastest growing industry in the United States today. The trend towards legalization, state by state, is hard to miss, and overall, the future of the market looks bright. But it will have to contend with the challenges faced by virtually all new businesses struggling to find their legs in new territory.

For a long time, tipping waiters, waitresses and other service industry employees has been viewed as commonplace in the United States. We understand the social expectation of tipping, as well as that in many industries where tipping is standard, employees make very low wages and actually depend on additional sums to get by. But most of the world doesn’t work this way. In fact, many international citizens visiting America might find the concept of tipping downright strange, and similarly many Americans vacationing abroad quickly discover that tipping is weird and uncommon. But which side has it right? Here are a few points on both sides of the debate….

You Shouldn’t Tip Because…. 

The system is blatantly unfair. Tipping is entirely up to each individual customer. Using a restaurant scenario as an example, the guy before you might leave 18% for his waiter because that’s his standard practice. But maybe you’re younger and operating on a tighter budget, and it’s a fairly casual meal, and 15% sounds about right to you. Who’s to say which of you is “correct?” Is it fair to the waiter to have a portion of his income decided by the amount you feel comfortable tipping?

You don’t always know where the money’s going, anyway. Again, I’ll use the restaurant scenario. At many establishments, servers pool their tip money and divide it evenly – meaning if you leave a 20% tip for a job well done on the part of your own server, you may be providing equal reward to some person across the restaurant who was providing horrible service to another group of tables. Or consider another situation entirely. Maybe you have such a wonderful meal and experience that you want to reward the restaurant as a whole with a big tip. You know who might not see any of that money? The chef who cooked the meal, the team that planned the menu, the owner who hired the chef, etc. Often, a great experience at a service industry establishment depends on a team approach that can’t easily be rewarded with tip money.

You don’t have to. This approach may sound cynical, but by tipping for service you’re participating in a system that, as mentioned, is unfair to employees. You’re dictating the income of a server when that should be done by the owner of the restaurant, who ought to be providing a living wage. Of course, if in the short term you decide to stop tipping, all you’re accomplishing is screwing over servers within this system. Still, change doesn’t come about randomly.

You Should Tip Because….  

Servers need the money, plain and simple. It’s a sad situation, but in the U.S., most service industry workers are paid barely enough to get by, the assumption being that they can supplement small paychecks with tip money. Fair or unfair, that’s how it is right now.

It’s a classy gesture. It may seem weird to international citizens, and it may be borderline silly from an economic standpoint, but neither of those things makes the concept of tipping wrong. Ideally, the system would work both ways, with service industry professionals making adequate wages, and tipping serving more as a bonus or gesture of a job particularly well done. Either way, however, there is a personal aspect to eating out or engaging with other service industries. You speak to, make requests of, and sometimes enjoy the company of your server, and if the experience is richer because of it it’s perfectly classy to leave a tip to show your appreciation. Just because your sister’s new French boyfriend thinks it’s weird doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. In fact, if he’s bitching at you about tipping, just ignore him completely.

There’s a common argument about incentives, and it’s perfectly legitimate. Basically, if service industry employees depend on tips, they’re theoretically more likely to offer good service and to be pleasant to customers. If on the other hand their wages were all they needed, they might not feel obligated to do more than the bare minimum. Naturally that’s an unfair statement to plenty of honest employees who take pride in their work, but the basic theory definitely has something to it, fair or unfair.

Which side of the debate has it right? No idea – probably neither, completely. I still leave tips because it’s how I grew up. I enjoy the opportunity to help someone out when he or she does a particularly good job, and if I’m honest I don’t mind being able to show my displeasure when someone in a service industry is a jackass. That said, I recognize some of the inherent injustice in the system. What do you think?

If you’ve never heard this argument before, the idea probably sounds a little counterintuitive. Four days at work would seem to mean a full day less of production each week, which means 52 fewer work days per year. Figure that out in terms of salary, projects completed, hours in the office, etc. and it sounds like a no brainer: 52 days off will ruin the economy.

Except that it won’t.

If this is a topic that interests you, you’ve probably seen a few articles like this one in the past few years. Plenty of economic experts, social analysts, and high-powered business people have supported the concept, and when you think about it beyond what I laid out in the first paragraph, it starts to make a great deal of sense.

First and foremost, Americans need a little more rest. Despite the popular depiction of Americans as fat and lazy, when it comes to the workplace we’ve become known as the country of excess work and soul-sucking careers. Our students fill their spare hours with unpaid internships just to have a chance applying for jobs; new graduates work slave-like hours in the hopes of climbing the ladder toward reasonable salaries; and seasoned professionals get so used to ridiculous expectations that they just keep going. Here’s the result: the zombie apocalypse that Hollywood’s been daydreaming about for the past decade has already happened, and it happened in the American workplace.

We need some downtime. Someone in Spain just left work to go home and have a nap and some tapas. Maybe we should counter with having Fridays off.

Extra rest is all well and good for the average American worker, but believe it or not there’s a pretty decent likelihood it would help the economy as well. There are two main reasons why.

1 – That zombie thing wasn’t entirely a joke. Americans are so overworked that we go into living dead-like trances in the workplace, staring lifelessly at computer screens, nodding off in our chairs, nodding and mumbling our way through meetings, etc. If you were to honestly clock how much time you waste in a typical five-day work week, odds are it would amount to something close to a day’s worth anyway, according to the extraordinarily scientific study also known as my blind assumption. If I’m right, we may as well only be working four days anyway – and with the extra rest, time spent at the office will be sharper and more focused, resulting in better performance for companies.

2 – It’s not like we’re going to be sitting on our couches all night Thursday and all day Friday if we suddenly have an extra day in the weekend. Think about it: the moment the work week ends, a lot of us speed off to the nearest happy hour and start spending money. We might go out to a restaurant or catch a movie on Friday night, grab brunch with friends on Saturday, catch a ballgame or go shopping, go out to dinner and enjoy a night of drinking, etc. The common thread here is that as soon as we don’t have to sit around earning money, we start spending it – relentlessly. Weekends spark the economy, and making the weekend longer by a day means more of that. Case closed.

If your response to all of this is that an extra day off would give you more time to focus on your second job, or on creating a company, or on building the next big app you’re probably building, then you don’t get it.

The point is more time to relax and recharge so that for the four days on which we’re actually still expected to come into the office we can give our best efforts. This means less wasted time, better production, a more fulfilling workplace experience, and probably less confrontation with bosses, co-workers, clients, etc. It’s just a more balanced lifestyle, and a healthier way to live.

Plus, if this argument doesn’t convince you from a strictly economic standpoint, consider the potential benefit to the environment. 52 days make up 1/7 of the year, and logically about 1/7 of our fuel emissions and electricity usage as well. No, this isn’t to suggest that if we stop going to work on Fridays we’ll stop driving our cars and turning lights on and spend the mornings planting trees and feeding baby seals. But there is an argument to be made that eliminating work-day commutes and office space energy for 1/7 of the entire year (or 1/5 if we’re just talking work days) could have a significant positive effect on the environment.

Also of note: more time for friends and family, more time for romance, more freedom to exercise, more time for proper sleep, an extra day for weekend getaways, and, the one nobody thinks of – a full day of afternoon delight off for parents with the kids in school.

It’s time for a 4-day work week.

Going out can sometimes be a real pain in the ass. Bashing elbows with people, long lines to take a piss, and trying every move you have to get the bartenders attention. Hail the Smart Bar.

There is There is a new machine out in Kickstarter land that is about to revolutionize the home bar industry.

Think a Keurig coffee machine, but with Alcohol and a large color touchscreen display. Monsieur will make you any drink you choose, whenever you want it.

So in simple terms, you load all the alcohol you can along with the mixers you want into the back of the machine. A custom menu is then created based on the items you entered. The choices available are now displayed on the display, and you can opt for Strong, Medium or light.

For the ones who like to throw themed parties, you can even choose from 12 pre set themes, from Tiki Bar to Irish Bar. Each theme has a list of 25 cocktails you can select. Of course you can randomly select your own mixtures too.

The machine has quite the brain to it also. It will soon be able to tell if you are home later than normal, and therefore may want a double instead of the normal single you opt for. Or if you are lucky enough to be entertaining, it will detect if there are two devices on the wi-fi network and offer you drinks for two and not one. Could get awkward in some instances, but the thought process is a good one.

It also comes packed with a few little features to keep the more safety conscious ones of you happy. Through the app, it will monitor and keep track of how much you are drinking, and even estimate your blood alcohol level. So I am 100% sure we will see an Uber extension in their somewhere shortly.

Now for a real winner. We have all had that moment, you get home from work, run straight to the fridge to grab a cold beer, and BOOM, nothing in there? Well this little beauty will begin warning you when your ingredients are low, and even offers the ability to order replacements through a liquor delivery service.

Set to ship in late 2014, there are two models available. A four liquid container capacity with each holding 30 ounces or an eight container version for $2,699.

A bargain if you ask me. If you will pay $2,000 for a Macbook Pro…you can definitely find the room for this in your house.

This is probably the first ring that serves a real purpose; might not be a great purpose but at least is something more meaningful than a stupid overpriced stone that always leaves your bank account dry.

A company called TheTouch has recently designed a ring that lets you feel the heart beat of your significant other in real time no matter where they are. These rings are called HB Rings and come with a minimalist design that is quite interesting and to some extent elegant. So how does the HB rings work? The rings have to be connected to an app via Bluetooth, and also need to have access to an Internet connection, either through your phone or a Wi-Fi network. After that, all you need to do is tap the ring and then you will be able to feel your loved one’s heartbeat in real-time.

A recent survey claims to have found evidence that if you are a person who enjoys grilled cheese sandwiches, you get laid more than the average person. That’s a pretty bold statement to make.

For national grilled cheese day (really?) on Sunday April 12, Skout interviewed 4,600 people and discovered 73 percent of adults who love grilled cheese have sex at least once a month compared to the 63 percent who don’t like the sandwich. Also, 32 percent of cheese lovers have sex six times a month versus the 27 percent that don’t.

Another finding of the survey is that apparently grilled sandwich of cheese lovers are also more charitable and adventurous people. I don’t really see the connection to be honest, but if it is on the internet it must be true right.

The internet would never lie to you.

I am guessing that this doesn’t mean you are eating grilled cheese and getting laid at the same time? Could be messy.

For some of us, the choosing of a wing sauce can be an agonizing process. For others, it’s as simple as stating a known, trustworthy preference. But no matter which category you fall into, your final selection basically tells your company everything they need to know about you as a human being – provided they have a proper understanding of sauce psychology, or that they’ve read my article. At any rate, here’s a quick guide to what those around you can learn about your character, according to each wing sauce you might choose.

Actually, You’ll Just Order The Burger – Go home. We’re here for wings and you’re not being a team player. You are cranky, unimaginative, dull, and soulless, and frankly I’m starting to feel good about the fact that not a drop of wing sauce will be wasted on your worthless pallet.

Mild – You’re agreeable enough, but ultimately you may be boring your friends due to your risk-averse, go-with-the-flow mentality. You’re the furthest thing from a natural leader, and unfortunately that probably gets you stuck doing things you don’t really want to do a lot of the time. Yup – you’re the one who does 80% of the work in the group project without calling anyone else out for being lazy. It was nice of you to come along, but we’re starting to get the feeling you’re just in it for the celery and carrot sticks. You probably don’t know who’s playing in the game we’re here to watch either.

Hot – Good for you. You know what you’re doing here, and you have enough experience to understand that the Habanero Madness option is just going to ruin your evening. You’re just the right mix of fun, bold, and exciting without being obnoxious to be around, and for that reason the people around you will probably always crave, or at least enjoy, your company. We’re going to get along.

Habanero Madness – This is a tricky one. If you order this because you have an unusually high tolerance for tongue-bursting spice, and you genuinely enjoy the extra kick, that’s fine – if you just order and eat. In that case, odds are you’re a little strange on the outside but a fascinating person for those who take the time to get to know you. On the other hand, if you sit at your end of the table saying the word “habanero” 47 times throughout the meal, and throw in a couple of “holy shit that’s hot!” exclamations, you’re a douchebag. Wing sauce reveals character in a subtle, quiet manner, but no one gives a fuck that you enjoy bathing your tongue in lava. And from now on, everything you say will seem like an exaggeration. We can’t wait to get away from you, and then talk shit about you.

Teriyaki – You’re the lovable goof of the group. Teriyaki wings are the ultimate “oops” order. You’ll love it for 1-3 wings’ worth, and then you’ll realize it’s all a little too sweet for dinner, and that no one restaurant’s teriyaki wings are better than another’s. But oh, well. You can shrug it off and do better next time.

Spicy Garlic – Well played, sir or lady. You’ve discovered that wings can be both spicy and flavored.  And, shock of all shocks, that’s who you are as a person. You do everything well, but also with your own special touch. You’re confident, effortlessly charming, and socially versatile. And you have a better feel than most for what you actually like.

Some Kind Of Caribbean Jerk Option – I mean, okay. If that’s what you want. You can’t really be judged because no one else at the table ordered this, and no one understands the psychology behind it. But if we had to venture a guess, you’re probably a little offbeat. You might be a little bit of a loner (the confident kind, though), and it’s a good bet you’re one of those people who manages to travel to South America 17 times a year despite not having a job yet out of college. Am I close? Can I… can I try one of those?

So there you have it. An indisputable, factually correct psych evaluation of wing sauce choice’s reflection on personal character. Or at least, how I felt after my last trip to Buffalo Wild Wings.

America loves Beer. To the tune of somewhere around 100 Billion dollars per year. Every posh twat these days seems to be drinking some kind of craft beer to impress exactly no one. Craft beers despite their popularity at the moment still only make up around 15% of the overall beer market. So what is making up the rest of it?

America has a world reputation for drinking light beer, which the rest of the world don’t really class as beer. Are we really a big nation of light beer drinkers, or is that just a big myth? According to this, sadly it is true, and then some.

6 of the top 10 beers sold in the US are light, and some will argue that it is really 9 out of 10. Ouch.

Here is the top 10 –

1. Bud Light

2. Coors Light

3. Budweiser

4. Miller Light

5. Corona

6. Natural Light

7. Busch Light

8. Michelob Ultra

9. Busch

10. Heineken

Thats all a little bit embarrassing really if you ask me. The fact that Natural Light, Busch Light and bloody Michelob Ultra beat out Heineken is a disgrace to hops themselves.

Here is 11 thru 20 –

11. Modelo

12. Keystone Light

13. Miller High Life

14. Natural Ice

15. Bud Light Platinum

16. Pabst Blue Ribbon

17. Bud Light Lime

18. Bud Ice

19. Yuengling

20. Bud Light Lime (Straw-Ber-Rita)

  Read that list again and think of all the great beers that are missing –

Stella Artois, Kronenbourg, Peroni, Guinness, Red Stripe, Becks, Dos Equis, Grolsch, Carslberg, Carling, Fosters, Tiger, Tuborg,  Kingfisher, Tsingtao…… I could go on….

Notice none of them are followed by the word “light”…

America, you should be ashamed.

Every day since 1950, the world has known that smoking causes cancer. This message seems to finally be getting across to the average people. Last Year only 17.8% of Adults in the US said they smoked. This is an all time low. However the most stupid statistic in the world I think, is that Smoking is still the number one cause of preventable death in America. Not to even start the cost of Health Care for people who are essentially taking a cancer pill every two hours for most of their lives.

Why has no one come up with a solution for all as of yet. Well, maybe they have. The second most populous county in Arizona, Pima County, will vote on a number of very interesting ideals.

The first being the right to refuse to hire applicants who admit to smoking. The second being one I think more people would be ok with, charging any employee who does smoke, a 30% health insurance premium surcharge. If these two rules are passed, they would become law on July 1 2015.

Local health officials claim that the proposal would save the county more than $1m every year in health care costs. A recent estimate put the current level of employees who smoke at one third of the workforce. If a worker can prove they have stopped for six months, they would not have to pay the extra fee.

What do you think? Should a company have the choice to refuse to hire a smoker or not and be legally protected making that choice?

Is this taking the health movement way too far? Or are you glad to finally see states taking a harder line on the health of its citizens?
