A buddy just pointed this out. Hot little number. Very large and GMT hand marks a second time zone.

Businessmen are decision makers, internationally connected and permanently on the move to new ventures. In this fast paced world, knowing just when to make that important call, can be of key importance. Here is your business partner, with a bezel featuring 24 major cities to guide you on your way. All destinations subject to Daylight Savings Time (summer time) have a special marking and adjustment feature, so that you will always be punctual. And the 24-hour hand will keep track of day and night for you, even when the curtains are closed.

They look like kind of a one-trick pony, but it looks great. Very cool flash animation in there, as well.

eHow tells you how to meet the ‘rents for the first time. One cryptic piece of advice:

Park your car in front of their house, and lock both doors. This will be explained later.

In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town,
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around.
And all the girls from there to Austin,
Were slippin’ away from home and puttin’ jewelery in hock.

The best part is the solo. Listen to it. It’s like fifteen notes. Imagine trying to sell something like that right now. Where’s the shredding? Where’s the roaring feedback?

There’s no better way to kick folks out this holiday than giving them a cup of coffee then getting into your pajamas and telling them to finish the java in the car.

This is a single serving maker that uses pods instead of filters/grounds. Very nice.

From WristWatchReview.com - A buddy of mine sent me a crazy book on erotic watches. These things are just about kookie as can be. You’ve got a really nice pocket watch or or minute repeater and you flip the bugger over and you’ve got nekkid folk wiggling away. I found this site that sells some nice little samples of the work and I know that Blancpain is working on rekindling the art.

These things were pretty much the Deep Throat of their day and every sly raconteur carried one.

From WristWatchReview.com - Another nice Tissot. I don’t like the quartz chronos, but that’s not a biggie.

Every element of the T-Race recalls these two-wheeled sports, from the crown protection and bezel with its slanting ventilation shafts, inspired by the braking discs, to the rubber tire-track bracelet, the speedometer-like counters on the dial and the very material of the case itself in a new synthetic mix high in carbon fiber.

From Slushpile.net - The setting sun against the cyclone wire fence casts a glare that momentarily blinds me as I open the envelope. It’s late afternoon, clocks are being punched out, and I hear car radios blare from the road as factory workers and pipe fitters screech out of warehouse parking lots. I see an old Camaro, once primered gray but now the front panels are back in black, flashing around a corner, signaling the start of Miller Time. I block the glare with my hand and look at the book pulled from the envelope. UPS trucks finished with their deliveries roar by me in the parking lot, you ain’t going to see what Brown can do for you no more today, and a driver yells for me to get the fuck out of the way as I stand there laughing uncontrollably. He sees the book in my hand, assesses the hysteria on my face, and suddenly stops honking, gives me an embarrassed shrug and a wave, and slowly drives around me. The glare off the fence may be the glow of revelation, I’m about to be converted, and there’s no way Brown is going to stand in my way.

Just ordered some of these for the “boys” portion of my wife’s baby shower. We shall see how they fare.

The Cigar.com Purple Label is a great tasting Dominican cigar that matches up to other popular Dominican premium brands but fits into an everyday budget. This cigar answers the age-old problem of getting the best bang for your buck. The purple label is ridiculously smooth and has a perfect draw every time you light. The consistency surpasses that of a lot of premium cigars! We found the perfect Connecticut shade wrapper to perfectly balance with the mild to medium body of the cigar. Then our friends at the Tabadom Factory in the Dominican Republic agreed to craft this beauty.
