Over the weekend, I travelled to Mount Pleasent PA to help my girlfriend and her mom set up and run a yard sale.
On the trip up there I wasn’t paying attention and missed the exit, resulting in getting lost. I stopped at a gas station to ask for directions, but the two kids working there ended up getting me more lost.
As I drove in the middle of nowhere, I spied a bar on the side of the road, so I pulled over and went in to ask for directions.
It was around 8PM, and there wasn’t anyone in the bar yet, except for the bartender. I explained my situation, and he proceeded to give me directions.
However, about halfway through this, his co worker came out of the back and all of the sudden I lost train of thought and could no longer concentrate.
Turns out I was in a gay bar. The guy from the back had to be at least fifty years old and about fifty pounds overweight. He wasn’t wearing a shirt. Instead he had leather straps that crossed over his chest and were attached by a big metal ring. He wasn’t wearing pants either. Only a tiny leather bikini.
I rule at life. Part two tomorrow.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone who posted. The images were taken down to free up space. The black shirt was picked.
Hey there everybody. I was wondering if you could lend a hand. You see, I recently made a shirt design for the new company, ChestLaser.com. However, the owner and myself can’t seem to decide which color option is best for the shirt.
So, if you could, take a second and look over the two images below… Then, just leave a comment w/ your favorite color option of the two. It’ll take you thirty seconds, but my gratitude will last a fortnight.

Recently, I FINALLY bought a pair of Uggs. After about 3 years of wanting them and hearing how amazing they are, I finally caved and got them.
For those who have never owned a pair, they seriously are THE best shoes in the world. Let me explain some reasons why…First, you don’t need socks with them. Furthermore, they slip on. You can wear them when its hot out and they keep your feet cool or you can wear them when its cold out and have warm feet. Also, you can dress them up with a skirt or tuck some skinny jeans into them if you’re going for a casual look…basically, they look good with any clothes..they’re meant to be worn everyday.
I heard a really cool story about how Ugg’s were supposedly created…Surfers who surf during winter wear full-body wet suits. Well, legend has it that the surfer’s feet would get cold before and after surfing (since the wet suit doesn’t cover the feet), so one of them developed these Ugg boots to wear with the wet suit on the way to the beach and then to throw on their feet after surfing to quickly warm the feet back up. This is just an awesome idea, and it truely works. They do a great job at keeping your feet warm, but never too hot. My feet never sweat in them, the wonderful sheepskin lining keeps your feet cozy and warm! If you don’t have a pair, you should really consider buying them..man or woman. Actually, when I was out buying mine, the guy working at the shoe department asked Matt if he wanted to try a pair. I guess its cool for guys or girls to wear em, although I rarely see guys with them.

My buddy Bob Trautman is a weird guy. Hailing from Ohio, his artwork deals with eroticism, bondage, and alot of stuff you’d be uncomfortable showing your mom.
Over the weekend a hot note dropped into my inbox letting me know he finally got around to opening an online store to sell some of his bizarre designs. The site has a bunch of different shirts he designed. Some of them with illustrations, other with words that he claims were subjects of spam emails he got. When you’re done perusing his wares, be sure to check out his site as well, which is sure to knock the holiday cheer right out of you.

Brown Sound Clothing has a terrible website. However, they make some really fashionable, comfy clothing. I’ve only ever seen one of their shirts here in Pittsburgh at Urban Outfitters, and never really thought too much about them. However, I went to Maryland over the weekend and seen the hoodie (pictured below) and had to pick it up.
Check out their terrible site for some pics of their other designs, which are all pretty top notch! I wish they site had a store or something. Seriously.. I can’t get over how bad this site is. Ha oh well.
