Gotta Pimp

The new Pioneer Premier’s four-inch profile (half of a normal subs profile) allows you to slide in into the back of your pickup truck, SUV and or small hatch back without sacrificing the all-important boom. The resulting sound is delivered with 300 to 1,000 watts of power—which will alert all the world that your girly techno CD is on serious rotation. From outside the car, all bass lines pretty much sound the same. Even if you melt the sub while kicking your favorite tunes, the die-cast housing chamber makes a handsome fruit basket. It’s a win-win!

It’s been getting some great reviews (4.5 out of 5.) Check the bottom of this page.

Playing beer pong is pretty straight forward, right? The only problem is that there seems to be no official rules or guides. This post is an attempt at creating an official guide to beer pong. Maybe next time the poor guy visiting your town won’t be confused and end up trashed on the bathroom floor. I’m a nice guy, what can I say.

What You’ll Need:
22 red cups
1 regulation size ping pong table.
2 ping pong balls.
1 keg of beer
1 large water pitcher

Game Set-up:
Take 10 cups per side of the table, fill approximately half way and form a pyramid. Use the remaining 2 cups as rinse cups for each side if/when the ball hits the ground or some other undesirable surface.

The Rules

Eye For An Eye
To decide which team shoots first, one player from each side takes a shot while staring the other player in the eyes. Whichever team makes the shot first shoots first for the game. If the teams both make the shot, rotate until only one person makes the shot.

After deciding who goes first, the teams will shoot the ping pong balls into the opposing team’s cups. if a team makes a cup, the opposition drinks that cup.

Bring It Back
In the event that a team makes both balls in seperate cups, they get the balls back and can shoot again. This is only allowed once per turn.

Bounces
If a team bounces the ball into a cup, opposition drinks that cup plus one of their choice. If the team sees a bounce coming they can block it.

Rerack
Reracks can be made when there are 6 and 3 cups remaining. 6 cups are only reracked into a pyramid and 3 cups can be reracked likewise or in the “Power I”(in a verticle line).

Special Circumstances

Gentleman’s/Ladies Shots
If a team recovers a rebound from a missed shot they are entitled to 1 Gentleman’s Shot. The rebounding player can shoot the ball from behind their back(if a gentleman) or through the legs(if a lady). If made the shot counts as a regular cup.

Ringers
A ringer is when a ball rolls around the cup, but does not touch beer. In this situation, guys attempt to pick it out with their hand and girls blow it out of the cup.

Game Breakers
If a player is drinking a cup and there is still beer in the cup, the opposition may shoot at that cup. If made the shot ends the game and that team must complete a predetermined feat.

Redemption
If each team has one cup remaining and a team makes the last cup, the other team gets a redemption. If they miss, the game ends. If they make it, play continues.

Florida officials have finally announced the truth behind Anna Nicoles death (and its about damn time.) The cause of death was announced on Monday as an accidental drug overdose.

Broward County medical examiner Joshua Perper and Seminole police chief Charlie Tiger say they found nine different drugs in Smith’s blood system, including Methadone, chloral hydrate (a hypnotic drug used for insomnia) and three different drugs used to treat depression and anxiety.

The autopsy results come more than six weeks after Smith was found unresponsive in a Hollywood, Fla., hotel room Feb. 8. She died several hours later at a nearby hospital. The official autopsy “essentially closes the case on the death of Anna Nicole Smith,” Tiger told reporters, adding that police found no signs of foul play or criminal elements to her death. They also found no illegal drugs.

Perper told reporters that Smith was feeling ill days before she died and had been prescribed Tamiflu, plus an antibiotic for a bacterial infection caused by a needle prick in her left buttock. He said the infection was being effectively treated with antibiotics and was not a factor in her death.

America loves a good mug shot. The more frizzed, frazzled and frantic, the better. An Orlando entrepreneur has seized on that fascination, recently starting Jail, a weekly newspaper filled with nothing but the unflattering thumbnails. Page after page, with only a few ads in between.

“A mug shot is a couple notches below your driver’s license picture,” said Devin James, 41, dressed casually in sweat pants, sneakers and a ball cap. “And everyone takes a messed up driver’s license picture.”

Mug shots have gained popularity online thanks to sites like The Smoking Gun, which feature arrest photos of professional athletes, musicians and Hollywood A-, B- and C-listers — Nick Nolte, Glen Campbell and Mel Gibson, among them.

In Jail, the stars are the readers’ neighbors, charged with everything from drug possession to prostitution to murder.

Your buddies think they’ve got superbowl-sunday bragging rights? Put their 42 inch plasma to shame with this uber piece of new technology. The HP Instant Cinema ep9010 has got some pretty impressive specs including a projection area of up to 10 feet. They say size matters and in this case, I’m pretty damn sure it does. The only ball buster is that you’ll need a mere 2000 coins to call one of these your own. Not too bad considering most 50 inch plasmas are priced about the same, if not more, depending on the brand name. The only thing missing is wireless connectivity, although, finding a plasma with that is rare in itself.

Why spend $2000 on this?
on-board dvd player
comprehensive A/V inputs
integrated 2.1 speaker system
30 watt subwoofer

Until now there really hasn’t be a clean looking rugged truck. You have your select few that have come close; escalade ext, lincoln blackwood, and the new F150’s. None of these have been true head turners like the new Lincoln Mark LT.

They come along with all the bells and whistles. These include chrome accents, ebony wood, Nudo leather, just to name a few of the interior features. The 5.4 liter v8 engine is anchored to the trucks frame using liquid-filled hydromounts creating the quietest truck ride you can find. You’ll ride along in silence while the 300 horses under the hood are pounding away hurtling you down the interstate, gotta love modern technology.

the goods
5.4-liter V-8; dual air bags; antilock brakes; an interior fit for a king.
0 to 60 mph is just under 10 seconds.
Pre-pimped pickup with redneck truck toughness.

In hopes of helping you single guys (and the players) get laid I wanted to share some good research that Menshealth has published. They completed a study on the 12 stages of seduction. I’m not gunna get into the science of the shit - just straight down to business. A total of 1000 chicks participated so its gotta be somewhat true.

Best way to get it started
Surprisingly, 53% of the chicks fall for the straight forward approach. They don’t look for the cutsy creative little things that we all try to pull off. Keep it simple and you’ll get her out with you. Example - I think you’re great, lets have dinner. You free on Friday night? Keep in mind that your confidence level counts; don’t be so damn confident that you seem certain she’ll go for it. She’ll sense that and probably shamelessly shoot you down.

Keep it going after dinner
The last thing you wanna do is invite her right back to your place (unless she’s literally asking for it.) 54% of the women said they prefer building up intimacy in stages so try to keep it slow cowboy. Ease your way into things, suggest going to a really good ice cream place around the corner.

Fork in the road
At this point, you’ll need to decide whether or not she seems open for going back to your place (or hers.) Watch for small signs of attraction, if she holds your arm during the night or touches your leg at dinner. As small as they might seem, these are your deciding factors. If you decide its a go, take the chance and suggest renting a DVD or having a drink to end out the night. If she declines don’t push it (or you’ll risk crashing burning this one for good.)

Buddy, you’re almost set.
67% of the women said that once they’re back your place, they’re 75% ready. Now, most of the battle is left up to your state of your place. Make sure your bathroom is half way decent and that you’re walls aren’t empty. Pictures and photos make you seem warm and connected. 70% want a chance to relax and talk first, don’t jump on her. That first move or kiss is always instense so try your best to lighten up the mood. If she’s chattering away and coming up with new conversations, she’s not ready.

Move in, slowly.
61% of the women said a short and sweet kiss to start is better (Save your best tongue technique for later.) Kiss gently around her mouth, face, neck, and ears. Follow her lead from here. Pay attention to her passion levels, if she’s just itching to move on go with it. You’ve gotta let it escalate naturally. Remember your physics, for every action there’s a reaction (this could never be more important.)

You’re a guy; chances are you wanna buy a new truck for the ego boost (aside from being able to throw a keg in the back of course.) I’m going to try and help you ignore that urge and actually make a smart decision for once in your life. You’re not a kid in a candy store, you’re an adult who’s about to spend an average of 32 G’s on your ride.

Nissan Titan SE
First and foremost and my favorite. Usually people think it’s got the most power out of the bunch - they’re wrong. It is quickest off the line but only because its the lightest. Plus, this obviously leads to a better MPG  aka extra beer money in your pocket. They are built nissan tough (pun intended) and their instruments seem like they could take a beating - window/lock buttons/shifter etc. During my test drive I couldn’t resist but to chirp the tires with that 317hp 5.6L beast under the hood. They come with a stock exhaust that has a low pitch rumble ..similar to that of after market flow masters.

Ford F150 King Ranch
I can’t get through a single week without hearing a line about their reliability. Found On Road Dead or Fix Or Repair Daily. Ford has not only improved the reliability of the F series this year; they’ve turned the F-150 into a bad ass looking truck. They’re following the rest of the auto design market and moving into boxier aerodynamics. Has all sorts of nice little cabin gadgets - shit, it should have with a base price of $38,000. Highest price and lowest HP at 300 - not slow or sheepish at all though.

Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab
Chevy seems like they’re scared to change their trucks. My daily driver is 99 silverado (only 47k miles on it might I add) and the new silverados look exactly the same. I wouldn’t trade it for a new one only because I’d probably ruin it inside and out; i’d be pissed off at myself for weeks.  Back to the truck - GM created all sorts of hype and never met their promises. Expectations were much higher and they didnt deliver. Under the hood you can get a Vortec 6.0L engine but even with that monster you’ll still lose to a Titan or F150. Sad but true, as far as a pimp ride the silverado sucks right now. On a side note, it does make a perfect work truck.

Toyota Tundra Crewmax
Ok, on the racing strip this is #1 on the list - 5.7-liter i-Force V8 pumps out a killer 381 HP. It’s speed is awesome but as far as it’s overall strength of a truck I’d stick with the others. It’s got all kinds of Toyota computer components on board - the more you kick it’s ass the more they kick in and the ruin the fun. Nothing to do with the torque, I’m talking about electronic stability control. It’s like a nagging parent that doesn’t give you enough space. Try whipping a dough nut in the mud and you’ll probably have a hard time. Never tried but be my guest.
