Do People Check Their Facebook Invites Anymore?

That’s the question I asked myself two weeks ago when I threw a little jammer at Black Bear in Hoboken, NJ. By party time over 85% still hadn’t confirmed or denied their Facebook invite, which is annoying as sh*t when dealing with bar management who ask every five minutes what kind of numbers you expect. Are my friends total douchebags or is the system to blame?

There are three solutions to this problem:

#1 Mark Zuckerberg should start reworking his Facebook invite system - not gonna happen.

#2 We should all be curious and confirm/deny all invites - also not gonna happen.

#3 We should all switch to Manvite.com when it’s party time.

I vote for #3, and here’s why: Manvite allows you to send email invitations for various types of “man style” events like beer drinking, a night of lap dances, watching football, weekend Vegas trips, golf, Bachelor parties, wing eating, paintball and many more.

Manvite.com is an effective way to break out of using “Facebook Invites,” and for that reason alone it’s worth taking a look at. Even if you don’t decide to use the system, the seemingly-endless list of generic man events will make you proud to be brawny.

Carrot Top is Jacked and Frightening

September 19, 2007 - 2:00 pm , By Jess - NYU

Carrot TopMy roommate is scared shitless by Carrot Top.

She won’t look at pictures of him, runs from the room if he happens to come on TV, and refuses to even say his name.

She won’t explain her fear, just whispers that “him and a ventriloquist doll are two the scariest things you could ever see at the foot of your bed in the middle of the night.�

While my phobia is not as rampart as hers, I completely understand the fear.

The dude was weird looking even before he started on the ‘roids; now that he’s jacked, he barely resembles a human.

Something is seriously wrong with his face, but it’s hard to tell what. Read More »

Manual vs Automatic: The Decision is a Man Thing

September 14, 2007 - 3:00 pm , By Chris Sullivan

Manual vs Auto: The Decision is a Man ThingManual transmission is definitely way cooler than automatic. People that drive stick will never go back to auto, and people that drive automatic are just pussies. There are tons of economical, coolness and pimpin’ pros to driving a stick shift. Lift your skirt up - it’s time for a dip into Manland.

I wanted a manual transmission since I was a child. I was amazed how my father could control how the gears shifted, not the transmission. When I grew old enough to understand the inner workings of the gears, I thought it was great how if you want to accelerate all you have to do is downshift and give it gas, unlike in an automatic where you have to put the pedal to the medal and wait for the transmission to kick down. A stick is also better in poor weather conditions so you can control what the gears are doing and feel the tires doing work for you.

A 4-cylinder, 5-speed stick shift will get better gas mileage than 4 cylinder automatic. It’s science. This of course applies to people who drive equally, not someone who is pissing off the ponies in a stick to get the RPM’s to red line. With gas prices the way they have been for the last couple years, it’s smart to pay for a car that will literally go that extra mile, and you can have fun while doing it.
