Having just spent the weekend with the offspring at a waterpark that also housed a mega-cool arcade, I'm all about fun and games this week. Specifically, air hockey? Why? Because I kick ass at it.

In browsing for tables to put on my wish list for Santa, I came across this beauty. While it doesn't have my boy Jimmy Johnson on it, it does have everything else you need for a good time. Except me of course.

Suede Creepers

First to recommend

Description

Does anyone out there remember Creepers?

I bought my first pair- merlot suede/black leather, if I recall- on Kings Road in London in the 80's. When I went back to California that fall, those shoes- and those shoes alone- made me cool.

I never wore the platform versions. But the ones I did wear, I wore to death- as in the toe flaps were flapping before I would discard them. So, so ferocious were my creepers.

Here's a little Wiki nugget for you:
Creepers or brothel creepers are a type of shoe that gained popularity in the 1950s with the rise of rockabilly and the Teddy Boy youth subcultures (in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively).

They are considered a classic item of 1950s fashion, along with elements such as drainpipe trousers, draped jackets, bolo ties, quiff and pompadour haircuts, and velvet or electric blue clothes. Creepers were invented in 1949 by George Cox and initially marketed under the Hamilton brand name, which was based on George Cox Jr.'s middle name[1]. The brothel creeper was a big hit throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Malcolm McLaren gave the shoe a new lease of life in the early 1970s when he began selling the shoes from his Let it Rock shop in London's Kings Road. The shoes were snapped up by his Teddy Boy clientele, and when McLaren and his partner Vivienne Westwood decided to change the shop into a more rocker-oriented fashion, the brothel creeper still proved to be popular amongst the customers[2]. The shoe has since been adopted by some members of other subcultures, such as ska, punk, psychobilly, greasers and goth. In 2003 Osiris Shoes produced the Ali Boulala, which is a brothel creeper-influenced skateboarding shoe.

Fez-o-rama

First to recommend

Description

Let's face it, the head simply does not get enough attention these days.

Back in happier days, men like Mr. Cunningham and Fred Flintstone knew how to rock the noggin. They knew how to command respect. Who cares whether or not they earned it. After all, no one cares about much when there's a guy with a funny hat on in the room. He sets the tone. And that tone is, "I'm a jackass. Let's drink." It's like a classier version of 'fat guy in a little coat.'

This site has some interesting tiki-inspired fezwear but if you are serious about making yourself the Grand Poobah of Douchebaggery, you need to outfit your minions in matching headgear as well. And you need a patch..... secret handshake..... nonsensical rules.... and of course the almighty Lodge (read: bar). So look around at other sites as well that offer plain fezwear in a variety of colors just begging for customization.

For those who take the wearing of the fez SERIOUSLY, I found some "official rules."

1. Do not lend your fez to anyone
2. Do not wear tarba in an appropriate places
3. Do not block your fez out of shape or wear dents in it.
4. Do not tilt your fez to the right or left backward or forward.
5. Do not hang jewels, pendants, button, or emeralds that do not pertain to the shrine or your office on your fez.
6. Do not wear any color fez but that prescribed.
7. Do not wear any color tassel but that prescribed.
8. Do not play sports or games while wearing your fez.
9. Do not attempt to get your own fez customized, uniformity in our temple is important, We do not want different grades of quality worn in our temple.
10. Do not wear damaged or old fez.
11. Never absolutely never allow the opposite sex (women) to wear your fez.
12. Never never absolutely never let a child play or wear your fez.
13. Never ever absolutely never allow people other than yourselves to take pictures in your fez.

Sounds like someone needs to get laid.

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell

4 people recommended this item

Description

I read this. I laughed. I gifted it often to the politically incorrect college friends in my life who look back with pride on their glory days.

Product Description
My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead. But, I do contribute to humanity in one very important way: I share my adventures with the world. —from the Introduction Actual reader feedback:

"I am completely baffled as to how you can congratulate yourself for being a womanizer and a raging drunk, or think anyone cares about an idiot like you. Do you really think that exploiting the insecurities of others while getting wasted is a legitimate thing to offer?"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you—for sharing with us your wonderful tales of drunken revelry, for teaching me what it means to be a man, for just existing so I know that there is another option; I too can say ‘screw the system’ and be myself and have fun. My life truly began when I finished reading your stories. Now, when faced with a quandary about what course of action I should take, I just ask myself, ‘What Would Tucker Do?’—and I do it, and I am a better man for it."

"I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature. Because of you, I don’t believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist."

"I’ll stay with God as my lord, but you are my savior. I just finished reading your brilliant stories, and I laughed so hard I almost vomited. I want to bring that kind of joy to people. You’re an artist of the highest order and a true humanitarian to boot. I'm in both shock and awe at how much I want to be you."

"You are the coolest person I can even imagine existing. If you slept with my girlfriend, it'd make me love her more."

About the Author
Tucker Max received his B.A. from the University of Chicago, where he graduated in 1998. He attended Duke Law School on an academic scholarship, where he graduated with a J.D. in 2001 (despite the fact that he neglected to buy any of his textbooks for his final two years and spent part of one semester—while still enrolled in classes—living in Cancun). Tucker is purportedly the reason Duke dropped from 7 to 11 in the USN&WR rankings during his tenure. He currently lives in Chicago, and when he isn't drinking or fornicating, he writes for his website.

Pittsburgh Steelers' Connect Four

Oh my god, I could launch into the most pathetic historical account of my lifelong obsession with Connect Four but.... I won't. Just toss about phrases like "addiction" and "using different voices as I switched seats because I was an only child and had no one to play with" and you'll get the idea.

ANYWAY, love this version. Supercool. Much cooler than I ever was..... Sigh.
