Manscaping- Just Do It

August 15, 2011 / Paul Eide

Don’t ask any questions, don’t look at me all stupid, just get in there and trim it up. There was an era when the ladies loved the exploits of the chest hair Tom Jones was attached to. But now, men aren’t men thanks to Robert Pattinson and his ilk.

I’m not advocating using a Bic razor and shaving it off completely, just a trim job. Chest hair really is the least of our concerns when it comes to body hair. Especially if you make it look all cool like this dude. Or this guy. The real issue is your hairy ass legs, my man. No, the inside of them, right below the family jewels. Don’t be the male of “Gin-uh” in The 40 Year Old Version.

Ear Hair Is The New Nose Hair

August 14, 2011 / Paul Eide

I was 16 and in Scotland for the first time. As much as I want to remember anything else about the trip, I can’t. The only thing I could focus on for the duration or remember even now was the immense amount of ear hair my host had protruding from each ear.

It had the density of unkempt weeds of a highway off ramp and the thickness of the Sequoia National Park. I couldn’t listen to anything this man said, or respect any of his opinions because of one simple fact; his ear hair was out of control.

When was the last time you thought about or even looked at your ear hair? If you can see it in the mirror, it needs to be trimmed. Even if you go to Wal-Mart and buy the cheapest trimmer (for around $10) it could be the difference between spending time with a hot “Betty” you meant poolside, and another night playing “Modern Warfare” drinking PBR. I think the choice is obvious.

Bill Simmons take heat for his mustache

August 13, 2011 / Staff

In his new mailbag on his new website (Grantland.com), ESPN’s Bill Simmons shares some of the funnier emails he received regarding his new mustache:

Q: Saw you on PTI, Simmons. I have a quiz for you:
Your mustache makes you look like:
A) A supervillain’s accountant.
B) A wealthy/preppy date-rapist’s enabling father.
C) A Russian arms dealer.
D) A washed-up porn star trying desperately to stay relevant past his expiration date.
E) Tom Selleck’s creepy half-brother.
F) All of the above.
— Nick, Seattle
SG: Uh-oh, it looks like we’ve reached the “Rag on Simmons’ mustache” portion of the mailbag. Put on your seat belt and brace yourselves …
Q: I saw you on PTI the other day, and I was just wondering: Does the mustache come with a white, windowless van, or did you have to buy your own?
— Joe, Chicago
SG: I’m renting. Come on, let’s keep this moving, keep ’em coming.
Q: Quick question: I’m casting a new reality show called “Guys Who Look Somewhat Normal Until They Grow Facial Hair, Then … Hide Your Damned Kids!”. We’re looking at a Spike TV pickup for the spring season. You in or do I need to go through a booking agent?
— Jeremy, Boise, ID
SG: Count me in. As long as it doesn’t conflict with the filming of Magnum PTI.
Q: Nice stache, you look like everyone’s gay uncle that’s still in the closet, but everyone really knows he’s gay.
— Tim, Boston
SG: Thanks^.

It does look pretty funny . . .

Bullz-Eye reviews the 2011 Harley-Davidson Blackline

August 12, 2011 / Staff

Our friends at Bullz-Eye are into more than just cars. They’ve recently had a chance to cruise around on the 2011 Harley Davidson Blackline. The Blackline is Harley Davidson’s newest addition to the Dark Custom lineup of bikes, a line launched to appeal to some of the younger riders out there.

Here’s an excerpt from the review:

When you first sit on the bike you really notice how low you actually sit. Luckily the seat is comfortable and wide, like sitting in a very large catcher’s mitt. Then, because of the pulled forward bars, you have a bit of a hunched posture. You reach down and notice the key slot is shaped and textured like a hand grenade, which is oddly appropriate for the sound you unleash after putting your key in there and flipping the bike on.
Two cranks of the engine and then the fury is unleashed. The resulting sound washes over your body a power chord ripped through a Marshall stack. Time seems to stop, people look, and the engine settles into its traditional rhythm. It doesn’t sound overstressed in the slightest, but a twist of the throttle lets you know that this motor is a sleeping giant.

Bullz-Eye reviews the Lexus GS 450h

August 11, 2011 / Staff

For some time now, hybrid cars have meant great things for the environment but terrible things for the driver. Let’s face, hybrids are boring, unless you like watching a battery charge. Fun!

The Lexus GS 450h is a welcome departure from that paradigm. Bullz-Eye recently had a chance to drive one of these beautiful machines – here’s an excerpt from the review:

There is no mistaking that the 2011 Lexus GS 450h 4DR Sedan is a hybrid and we welcome this technology in such an incredible car. Our test model delivered V8 power in a neatly wrapped hybrid package, delivering solid fuel efficiency. The already quiet ride of the Lexus GS is now enhanced when driving in electric mode. Choose between sport or normal driving knowing full well that the sport drive takes off like a rocket. With the 2011 Lexus GS 450h 4DR Sedan being a full hybrid, it’s capable of operating in gas-only or electric-only modes, or a combination of the two. The GS 450h was the first hybrid vehicle to enable the electric drive motor to contribute to highway performance, not just slow-speed driving. Our media car boasted a 3.5-liter, four cam, 24 valve V-6 engine with dual variable valve time and electric drive motor with Lexus Hybrid drive. You clearly don’t feel any gear shifting, mainly because of the electronically controlled continuously variable transmission with 2-speed reduction and snow mode.
