fun story to share-

As I was serving snacks to 150+ people at this event my group was hosting over lunch, I kneeled down to pickup a bag of chips. Moments later, we heard a loud rip - my pants had split open straight down from my crotch to my knee! What compounded the embarrassment was the fact that I was wearing red boxers with white polar bears on them - clearly not 'PepsiCo' style...

Later that day, I developed a deeper appreciation for staplers.

party venue requirements:
- relatively spacious
- good crowd, good music
- no absurd cover charges
- easily accessible (particularly with easy-to-find parking)
- some place similar to "Park" and "Slate"

The "Best Man"

Sat, 20 Jan 2007 13:21:34 GMT

state: honored

so, i'm officially the best man at my friend's wedding. it's coming up in july and the groomsmen will be fitted for tuxes this april. this means that I have to start getting into shape sooner than I thought. i bid farewell to the premier steakhouses and italian trattorias of chicago's southside, and welcome the smoothie breakfasts and sensible salad dinners after an 8:00 workout.

now, what really riddles me is planning the bachelor party. do i keep it low key, conservative, and with a flair of sophistique, or do i go all out wild and raucous with major strippage, beers and boobies?

guidelines:
- the man must enjoy himself
- the man must not engage in anything too regrettable (regret is subjective)
- the man must celebrate his last vistages of singlehood

i'm thinking dinner at hooters, racing funny cars or nascars at a race track, and then some minor heteros3xual lascivious action at some bar, club (gentleman's lounge? no thanks, too dirty, too expensive)

i welcome suggestions.

there are many perks to working at a multinational food and beverage conglomerate. not only do you get to sample the latest (and to-be-released) products, pre-screen the fall 2006 tv ad lineup, and meet some very hip celebrities, you are also the joke of the party with any bad media blitz with having been branded by your products...

here are some most embarrassing wallpapers that i've thought about adding to my desktop collection. please vote for your favorite!

**edit--> per manaical request of certain fanatics, i've added a splash of "jay chou"

#1 - most hip

#2 - most hot

#4 - violently refreshing!

#5 - mom's recipe
