Alright, so, after being stared out by someone in my household for making Wednesday “Women Wednesday”, I have decided to change formats rather than suffer the wrath of sleeping outside “for as long as you both shall live”. I’m happy to oblige, of course.

So, Wednesdays at ManVBlog shall now be known as “The WERD”. You can take this 1 of 2 ways… Or I suppose a 3rd.

1. I left out an I.
2. I replaced an O with an E because I’m tragically hip.
3. I am spoofing Stephen Colbert.

For the inaugural WERD Wednesday, I thought I’d start it out by doing a little ditty to the “Gilligan’s Island” theme song. Just be glad I haven’t set up my studio yet to do videos.

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful dip
That started from a garage port
Located on the Vegas Strip.

The tosser was a mighty drinkin’ man,
The pongs were fast and true.
Ten cups of beer were laid that game
Set for a weekend splurge, a full weekend splurge.

The shots had started getting tough,
The beer was growing warm,
If not for the courage of the fearless one
The Bud would be doomed, the Bud would be doomed.

Inspired to go play yet?

And yes, there really is a World Series of Beer Pong.

The 2010 tournament season gets underway in July, and there are tournaments throughout the US that you can enter in hopes of gaining entry into the WSoBP (or you can just pay your entry fee, which includes a hotel room, but doesn’t it sound better to say “We won the Tricky Dick’s Pub tournament!”). The top prize is 500 Benjamins ($50k).

If ManVBlog had a nice sponsor, we’d go to cover it. *charity cause?*

You can also read this article on MAXIM online (or in the March edition with the blonde hottie Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang as the covergirl).

Men, get a beer gut. It just might save your life. No, really.

Look at this guy’s gut.

He is definitely ROCKING THE BEER GUT and ladies, you can too!

So, no longer does it need to be known as simply storing up fuel for a sex machine, but it can also now be known as a life saver. Here’s the gist of what happened…

43 year old pub owner (we’re in England here, so it’s a “pub”) was tossing out a gent for getting into a “row” with another customer. Unhappy gent then pulls a 3 inch knife on him, stabbing him in the gut. The “extra fat” saved the man’s life as the penetrated blade didn’t get to any organs. All in all, the pub owner got lucky. Or else someone felt sorry for him as his parents named him Snaz Martin.

So, men, drink up. Buy a sixer of Red Hook and grow out your life savin’ machine. Or sex machine. Or combine the two and call it your “sex savin’ machine”. Your wife will thank you. Or at least kick you out… you and your sixer.

So, a new study shows that beer is good. Man has been saying that for some time. It’s good to know SCIENCE finally caught up with us.

No longer is science frivolous (study of rock snot – and no, I’m really not making that up!) and extremely costly for things that don’t matter (ATLAS project – roughly ~$370M to let atoms hit each other)

If you haven’t seen the article from LiveScience yet (HERE IT IS) for your viewing satisfaction.

It does not recommend downing a keg. Sorry frat boys. But, it does say light to moderate consumers (and who knows what those “groups” are, though I would assume that THIS IS BAD) actually benefit from the silicon (the same kind Bill Gates and Steve Jobs spend millions upon millions on) that are laced in the grains and hops. Hops have more. Sorry wheat beers, though you do get some of the silicon. The silicon actually helps with bone health and keeps up the density of your bones over those that don’t drink beer.

Did you know bananas have silicon in them too? Not as much, but a wee little bit.

Anyways, I digress. Now I have a reason to drink beer over eating a banana. Awesome. And for those of you that don’t drink beer, now there’s a reason to try one. I suggest Red Rock (see previous posting here).

So, forget an apple a day keeps the doctor away. A beer a day keeps OSTEOPOROSIS away. Bottoms up! Time to Makeover them bones.

I recently came across a new brand of beer that I find absolutely tasty. Forget the big boys (Bud, Coors, etc.) for now, as those are more of the mass produced kind and all taste about the same. After a tasting at a local Harris Teeter (yes, free beer!), I am now hooked on Red Hook.

While the beer is quite tasty, I do have to go on to future things, as I am just drooling at the thought of having another, though I am at work. So, to hold me over, I’m going to print this logo out and put it around a bottle of water. It’s all in the mind, folks…

Nevermind. Just made me want one even more. [Read more →]
