For those of you non-Trekkies (I lump myself in the field of Trek-o-holic), this was the line Captain Jean Luc Picard used when ordering his choice beverage out of the Enterprise’s replicator. Fantasy? Yes. For much longer? Perhaps not.

In an article on Space.com (READ!), a recplicator has been created that is able to fashion lots of things out of metal (so, no Earl Grey… yet).

This is just absolutely AWESOME. Can you imagine walking over to the replicator and punching in ANYTHING that you want (made of metal… but hey, some pets are made of metal too) and it will craft it for you?!? The possibilities are ENDLESS! And yes, I am a tad bit excited. But only a tad.

While the electron beam freeform fabrication (EBF3) is probably out of my hands for now, it soon could be arriving upon the international space station and other places: large manufacturers of specific tiny items that require extreme precise details, MI-6 to let Q make some cool toys, and on this airplane for the UAE. They can afford it and put it in those nice “cabins” that have the gold-leaf plated sinks and personal televisions.

But, let’s hope these do come down in price rather quickly. If you weren’t aware, the largest atom smasher in the world is set to collide 2 atoms together in Switzerland again, after it first sprung a leak… Doesn’t sound safe to me. Maybe I can be beamed up to the mothership soon…

So…

I did a search to try and promote this site. I typed in “Men Forum” so I could post to some forums. I get these results:

• Askmen.com (that works)
• Menforum (it’s pretty much dead…)
• Styleforum (uh… why not? I have “some” style)
• Order of Men (again… pretty much dead…)
• The Hip Forums (yeah… about that one… the first post I see relates to Testicular Examinations. PASS!)
• And finally, some European forums. Think I’ll wait to start up my international fame for now…

Why is it that so little is out there written by MEN for MEN?!? I mean, it doesn’t have to be rude and crude or overly “love your wife and that’s your whole purpose” (Ok ladies, stop cheering that I said that…)

I mean, isn’t there a nice outlet for people to just shoot the stuff, read about stupid stuff, sports, look at some pictures of women (that aren’t going to be appearing in Heffner’s pubby) and be MEN?

Come on readers (looks around and waits for an echo to return). I know there has to be SOMETHING out there, or should I spend thousands of dollars to develop this one and make it a SANCTUARY for us all.

Only in Arkansas can someone hear stories about a 10 year old being tasered by police, not having sexual relations with one not-attractive woman, and a man being beaten with a squeegee.

Some of you might be saying, what is a squeegee? Well, before you are beaten with one for not knowing, here’s a picture:

Trembling yet?

So, back to the story at hand. Now, first off, what’s really ludicrous is not only did the guy grab it to beat the other guy with, but he had it taken away and then used against him! That’s not sad. That’s pathetic.

If anything, why didn’t he get out his ice scrapper. Those look more menacing up close, at least the industrial strength ones do. I mean, C’MON!

So, here’s the story for your doldrums of a Friday relief:

CONWAY, Ark.

It’s that time again. Thanks to movie critic extraordinaire Brandon Fibbs (website here), we have the next installment of what I promise to be a recurring trend. Movies. Movies. Movies. Now, if only I could find someone to be a music reviewer and a game reviewer…

So, without further delay, from Brandon Fibbs, writer for Christianity Today and The Colorado Springs Gazette, a review of The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Rating: 1 1/2 Stars

Walking out of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, I was struck by the odd sensation that I was suddenly living in an alternate universe where the world was peopled by vampires and the movie we

Okay, so, I (as well as most of you) have probably seen the whole fiasco where people can no longer hang their “unmentionables” without getting a complaint. Article.

Really?

We can hang pictures that reek of chicken poop (READ) in a national art gallery, normal Americans, who choose to be GREEN (as if that suddenly became not “cool”) can’t hang their heart-covered boxers out to dry in the breeze. Is this what really needs to happen?

If you read that article from Yahoo!, then you’ll see that some people claim it’s too “trashy” to do so. Really? Have you seen what comes out of Hollywood these days? It’s like trashy central, people! Just look up Megan Fox, Paris Hilton, or a myriad of other supposed “role models” that
