Say what you will about Bode Miller. You think he’s cocky, arrogant, a choker, boozehound and a lothario. Whatever. Name me a high paid athlete that doesn’t fit these categories (minus Tom Brady… yeah baby!) Get over it. On Sunday, he won the famed 2.5K Lauberhorn Downhill in Wengen, Switzerland & also tied Phil Mahre for the most World Cup victories by a U.S. skier (27). Here is a a little video from this new up & coming website Youtube illustrating his mad gnar skills. It’s in italiano, so feel free to place on mute after 10 seconds in. Sure it’s not the “most” exciting clips to brave the world wide web, but I challenge YOU to ski down a mountain at 94 mph. Oh wait, that’s if you can ski after crapping your pants b/c of nerves. Personally, I think he was gonna nail it when his sweet mustache coach screamed “C’mon Bode, Hammer down!” Who is not going to crush it after hearing those words?
I really can’t believe the monkeys behind The Menternet gave me a birthday shout out. Seriously, I am touched beyond words. Nothing brightens my day more than best wishes from you pre-teens. Nothing. Now, I am not one to hog the spotlight on this illustrious day. So I want to salute the other bad-asses born on this amazingest day of all days.
Except.
There appears to be no one cool born on this day. Really. The only people born on September 20th appear to be no-names and a-holes. Well, there’s Upton Sinclair, who’s a Pulitzer Prize winning writer. But he’s dead, so Eff Him.
So we’ve got this chick:
She’s 16 – so settle down dudes. She also crazily enough is starring in Resident Evil: Extinction. So she’s got that going for her. Get psyched Slone13!!!
And we’ve got this gal (editor’s note: click to enlarge… her boobs):
Who you can find either at your local “exotic” joint or catch her on that new fall “Quantum Leap” NBC show.
And these musicians:
Which one’s Gunnar? Which one’s Matthew? Really – who cares?
And apparently there’s actress Allison Moore who is just a simple girl making her way in the adult film world. I bet her work in “Fuck Me: Enjoy My Ass” is spell-binding.
Now I leave you w/another actress/model/dancer trying to bust (see what I did there?) thru the Hollywood scene.
History in the making folks. History. In. The. Making.
Now I know the genius that is The Menternet prides itself on all things manly. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t show a little Mclovin’ towards the ladies. FIRST, Little Miss Ladybro created history on the golf course this past weekend, by being the first woman to participate in the 8th annual Thriller Invitational in Brooklyn, NY (Editor’s Note: Dyker, Dyker Beach, Y’all). (Plus, she crushed her 1st drive of the day straight down the pipeline) AND adding to the fantastic world of women’s golf – Miss Sheila Drummond slapped history in the face by being the 1st totally blind female to record a hole-in-one on Sunday. So next time you decide to hit the links, keep in mind: Two kickass Ladies are gunnin’ for ya.
USA TODAY - Blind golfer hears the shot of her career. – 8/20/07 LEHIGHTON, Pa. (AP) — Sheila Drummond didn’t need to see her hole-in-one. She heard it. Drummond, blinded by diabetes 26 years ago, experienced the highlight of her golfing career Sunday, recording an ace on the 144-yard, par-3 fourth hole at Mahoning Valley Country Club. (cont…)
I am not one to say anything disparaging about the beautiful state that is Vacationland, but this article below is priceless. Now I am not quite sure WHY this guy’s shirt is off, but I want to find out.

NORRIDGEWOCK — Everywhere Richard White looked on Monday there were big clumps of dried, smelly chicken manure. It was hanging from his mailbox, sloshed all over his snowmobile, lying next to his well and dried on his garage door, more than 30 feet across the yard. Two vehicles parked nearby looked like they had been through a very sloppy and thick mud run. “There’s stuff still 20 feet up the tree,” White said, pointing. “It was like a tsunami wave of hot chicken (manure).” The pungent odor of the nitrogen-rich chicken excrement still hung in the air at White’s home, where shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday an 18-wheel tractor-trailer rolled over and dumped 24 tons of the stuff in his front yard. Two used vehicles that were up for sale were destroyed.
…
Matthew T. Randall, compliance supervisor with the state Department of Agriculture, said he had been informed of the problem. “The carrier of the manure takes the lead,” Randall said. “Because they have ownership of the material, it is their responsibility. They began that process Thursday night and worked on it Friday. I am not aware of what happened over the weekend.” White said nothing happened over the weekend and that upset him. Randall said he and Ames are planning to meet this afternoon to inspect the scene. He said payment for damage will be negotiated between White and Ames without involvement from his department. “In terms of the well, I’ll make inquiries about that tomorrow as part of my visit,” Randall said. White, who said he is mostly in the “recycled car” business, said he had talked with Ames about purchasing the two cars and cleaning up the rest of the mess, but became impatient because no one seemed to be paying attention.“They think I’m a hick and don’t matter,” he said. “But my life didn’t smell like this before, why should it now? I’d rather have five gallons of oil dumped on me than the flies crawling on me last night. At least I know what chemicals are in the oil.”
First things first, The White Stripes most definitely rocked my tits off last night. Jack is a guitar / front man GOD who knows how to bring the house down. Really, I truly can’t express how fucking awesome that show was – picture me in a massive orgy, covered in BBQ sauce & you still won’t get a clear idea of it’s awesomeness.
However.
To all the 16 year old fucks at the White Stripes show….I am not sure what my ex-boyfriend told you, but no, I will not fuck you if you say hello to me. This here, me standing w/ my arms crossed and staring straight ahead? Is NOT code for “keep talking to me during Jack’s solo.” You fuck. I absolutely don’t give a rat’s ass if Daddy got you a Humvee for your birthday & you are psyched because your other 16 year old homo friends had an 11 pm curfew and you don’t. When you ask me if I’m a teacher because I’m wearing glasses, this is one step closer to me taking this broken bottle & shoving it down your throat. And while you’re writhing in pain on the ground with blood pouring out of your mouth? I’m not even batting an eyelash and I’m finally getting back to enjoying the show.
So I know you Menternet fanatics out there are probably thinking it’s a compliment to be hit on by people 14 years your junior. Trust me, these guys need to A.) Take a few pointers from “Get Laid 101” & B.) They were beyond annoying. Picture being in tub full of razor blades w/ no hope of escape and you might understand.
But this post is supposed to be about the awesomeness that is the White Stripes. And to them, I salute you. You came, you rocked, & for that I am thankful. Bless your little hearts.
Here’s what I hope happens at the White Stripes show tonight, b/c that will mean that 1.) I fucking rocked my tits off. 2.) Everyone else was rocking their tits off. And 3.) I’m still drunk b/c that late night altercation w/ a whiskey bottle was absolutely, positively necessary.
It seems that there have been rumblings in the menternet community regarding our lack of coverage on the upcoming 4th installment to the Indiana Jones series - slated for a May 2008 release. So here is an exclusive shot of our most trusted professor/archaelogist on the IJ4 set.
I have to say that Harrison Ford does show signs of his age, but nevertheless still exudes his same kick ass whip snapping machismo. Hopefully, the notable supporting cast can live up to his same high standards. And w/ a rumored Karen Allen appearance, I’m on board. Bonus points if she can still pound shots w/ the best of them at the tender age of 56.
So in honor of one of the greatest action-adventures series around. A trivia test to get the blood pumping:
What name did George Lucas want to originally call Indiana Jones?
Where does the name “Indiana” come from?
How did screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan come up w/ the name for the character ”Marion Ravenwood?
What is the name of the bar that Marion owns in Nepal?
The infamous scene w/ Indiana Jones & the Arab swordsman was shortened b/c …?
The canyon in which Indiana Jones confronts Belloq and Nazis carrying the Ark was the same location used in what other George Lucas movie?
By the way, if you actually took this quiz - you are one crazy nerd. (Zing!)
23 years ago, a little film changed history. Not only did it cement Ralph Macchio’s status as leading star of his time, as he was fresh off of his exceptional portrayal of young Johnny Cade in The Outsiders - “Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.” (seriously, not a dry eye in the house w/ that line), but KK also introduced us to another standout Johnny. (Though this Johnny would endear himself to us in profoundly different ways) Played to perfection by the ever versatile William Zapka, we finally had the quintessential 80’s poster boy high school villain. Karate Kid not only explores the socioeconomics of 1984 Reseda, CA - but introduced us to quite possibly the most genius of Halloween costumes ever displayed on film - the Polka-Dot Shower (the Miyagi-made costume that Daniel-Sahn hid inside to avoid public embarrassment) This movie has everything needed for a first rate grade A drama. Working class hero? Check. Cobra Cai douche-bags? Check. Love Interest? Check. (Elizabeth Shue’s first movie as the wealthy, yet adorable Ali Mills) Kick-ass Karate instructor? Check. Fight to the death? Check. So in honor of it’s anniversary tonight, go out and celebrate w/ a pint of top notch beer, drink until you’re almost blind, and then pick a fight w/ the closest resemblence to a 80’s High School Villain. You know the type, hang outside Dorrians if you need more convincing. If you need slightly more proof as to the merits of this fine film and it’s relevance in today’s culture - please take a look at a clip from one of the final scenes set to Joe Esposito’s “You’re the Best (Around)”. And one of my favorite reaction shots at 1:55.
