North Korea

2009-06-15T06:25:00.000-07:00

Sorry that I've been away for awile. Now that I'm back I just have to speak my mind about North Korea. Thats right Kim Jong. I'm calling you out. I want you to listen and listen good. While the rest of the world is sitting back listening to you spew your world domination garbage I have decided to contact the one and only Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Yes it's going to be me and you in the Main Event at Wrestlemania. After Vince and I finished our fine CAO cigars we decided that you need an ass kicking. Well what better event than Wrestlemania for you to get the ass kicking you're so deserving of. There are a few special stipulations for this match of course. First off its going to be held in a plutonium encased steel cage. I guess this is to your advantage since you seem to have a plutonium fetish. Also, there will be a ladder inside the cage and attached to the top of the steel roof will be a small nuclear bomb. If either of us manage to reach this device we will be allowed to use it on our opponent. The special ring announcer for this match will be none other than our very own UNCLE SAM. Special Enforcer will be General Norman Schwarzkopf and surrounding the ring to make sure we don't try to leave the arena will be 50 of the finest soldiers the US Marine Corp has to offer. So let's settle this thing once and for all. Kim Jong, get your ass out here. You've been called out.

Great Gifts for Father's Day!

My Helpful Attitude

2009-06-01T06:12:00.000-07:00

My poor wife has been so busy lately. I mean between going to college and having to do housework she just gets worn down so easily. So I've been asking myself what could I do to help. I thought that maybe I could be more helpful around the house. I could clean, do the laundry and I'm a very good cook. Yeah I could do all these things but then I would be the one worn down all the time. Then it hit me. I could hire one of those French maids to keep things tidy aroung here. I know my wife would be happy having a lot less work to do. She could just focus on her school work and not have to worry about things around the house. I hear that these French maids are very good at what they do. I think I'll go ahead and get started on the interview process today. Anybody know a good service I can contact. I've seen some pictures and resumes so far and think this is going to be a very difficult process. Oh well, I'm sure my wifes gonna appreciate all my work.

What Is Absinthe?

2009-05-30T07:46:00.000-07:00

Info courtesy of Wikipedia
Absinthe is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%–74% ABV) beverage.[1][2][3][4] It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, commonly referred to as "grande wormwood". Absinthe traditionally has a natural green color but can also be colorless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the Green Fairy).

Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe was not bottled with added sugar and is therefore classified as a spirit.[5] Absinthe is unusual among spirits in that it is bottled at a very high proof but is normally diluted with water when drunk.

Absinthe originated in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. It achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. Due in part to its association with bohemian culture, absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists. Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, and Aleister Crowley were all notorious 'bad men' of that day who were (or were thought to be) devotees of the Green Fairy.[6]

Absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug.[7] The chemical thujone, present in small quantities, was singled out and blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in most European countries except the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although absinthe was vilified, no evidence has shown it to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirit. Its psychoactive properties, apart from those of alcohol, have been much exaggerated.[7]

A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, when countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale. As of February 2008, nearly 200 brands of absinthe were being produced in a dozen countries, most notably in France, Switzerland, Spain, and the Czech Republic.[8] Commercial distillation of absinthe in the United States resumed in 2007.[9

Women and Wine

2009-05-29T10:06:00.000-07:00

What is it about women and wine that just seem to go so good together. Is it because of the wonderful aroma they both possess? Is it the silky skin of a woman versus the silky smooth taste of a fine wine. I don't know what it is but when you get this combination together wonderful things seem to happen. It's nice when a woman has a couple of glasses of fine wine and really loosens up. And how about that first kiss after she's had some wine. The wonderful taste of her lips and the warm taste of a fine vintage on her tounge as she gently caresses the inside of your mouth. And how about when you start to kiss her all over and all you can taste is her and a wonderful bouquet of the finest grapes in the world as you slowly lick the inside of her thighs. Of course you don't stop there, you proceed a little further and taste the best wine to ever touch a mans lips, if you know what I mean. Then when the two of you come together it's like a vintage not yet known to man as wild unbridled passion takes over the both of you. Yep, fine wine and women. It just doesn't get any better.French WineIt's okay, go ahead and click it, you know you want to.

S-Chip Bill,Socialism and the New USSR

2009-05-29T05:30:00.000-07:00

By now everyone knows what the S-Chip tobacco tax is I'm sure. For the still somehow uninformed the s-chip is a huge tax on tobacco that is supposed to fund medical insurance for underprivileged children. If you are a cigar smoker you know just how huge this tax is. Health insurance for children. Hmmm, what a wonderful ideal. Do you really think our government will be spending their newly earned billions of dollars on health insurance? I don't. This is simply another step toward socialism which America is fast being dragged into. This just makes that many more americans dependent on the government. Remember when GM meant General Motors? Well now you can call it Government Motors as the US Government now owns a controlling interest due to the bail outs. Chrysler is next as they face government forced bankruptcy right now. Two major auto manufacturers and too many banks to mention are already controlled by the government. Is your small business next?
Now back to this tobacco tax. I have the government telling me if I want to smoke a good cigar then I better get a second job. Yet where is this huge tax on alcohol that our congressman and senators like to imbibe in. Can you imagine them passing a bill that would reach into their pockets. Of course with their overpaid salaries it wouldn't bother them as much as it does the rest of us. And what about marijuana? Why not legalize it and put a huge tax on it. If you aren't going to prevent it's sale why not make some money on it. I mean there's an industry just begging to be government owned. Well God Bless the USA or is it the USSR(United States of Socialist Republic)

Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

2009-05-23T09:14:00.000-07:00

I just had my Yahoo account suspended for answering questions on Yahoo answers. Okay so some of the questions, like Where can I get a bottle of European Wine for under $30.00? I told the person to go to my blog and and check out DrinkUpForLess as they have wine from all regions for under $20.00. I didn't think there was anything wrong with that. The people ask you to help them with something and when you do, BAM! suspended. Of course if you are a Yahoo Knowledge Partner then this is fine. Yahoo is a filthy stinkin rich company yet they want it all for themselves. Well that's why this country is in the shape it's in today because of the greedy companies like Yahoo that want it all for themselves. Well when President Obama takes them over like he has GM then maybe they will find out if they don't want to share the wealth then socialism can FORCE them to share the wealth. Go Google!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Top 5 Luxury Cars of 2009

2009-05-22T04:55:00.000-07:00

5.Rolls Royce Phantom-What list would be complete without a Rolls Royce? The Phantom is a powerful convertible sporting a V12 front engine. Concidering it's power the Fuel Economy Rating of 24 highway(mpg) and 14 city(mpg) is very impressive.

4.Jaguar XE- Finally Jaguar has made a car for the under 40 crowd. This little beauty sports a 4.2 litre V8 engine with enough power to satisfy most anyone. Price Range-$49,200 - $79,150

3. Bentley Continental- did you know the Bentley Continental has the distinction of being the first Bond car? Well things have certainly changed since then. Sporting a twin turbo 560hp engine I imagine the old bond would have a hard time keeping up. - Fuel economy EPA highway (mpg): 18 and EPA city (mpg): 11 Price Range: $179,200 - $203,600

2. Audi A6- 2.8 litre V6 engine. There is a version out there that has a 580hp V10. It is still up in the air whether or not this version will be available in the United States. Let's hope that it is.Price Range: $45,100 - $60,950

1.BMW M3- The BMW M3 has a 3.2 litre in-line 6 cylinder engine that produces 333hp. The V8 version produces 414hp making the extra $2,900.00 well worth it. This is the best all around car on the planet bar none. Price Range: $54,850 - $66,500

Bugatti Veyron 16.4

2009-05-18T14:19:00.000-07:00

How does a car with 1001 horsepower sound to you. Sounds like a very fast way to blow some big bucks to me. First of all there's the price tag of $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. If thats not enough for you just think of all the money you'll spend on speeding tickets. That is if there is a cop out there that can actually catch you to write the ticket. If you are a millionaire that can't get a fine woman this car is for you. Of course if you are a millionaire and get get you a nice, sexy woman then you must be some kind of super nasty jerk or something. Maybe this car wouldn't help after all. Just stick with the blow up dolls and leave the women to us real men out there. Well, I'll see you real men on the road cruisin in our Bugatti's with arms wrapped around the sexiest women money can buy! The rest of you rich jerks enjoy reading your Playboy magazines. And please stop making the pages stick together. Imagine your teenager finding your magazine only to find out that Miss July is stuck to a beer ad.

Has anyone seen the Lexus-IS-F? This is one nice looking automobile. Definitely need to add one of these to the driveway. This ride gets 4 stars from Motortrend. The price range for this vehicle is around $56,000.00. But hey we gotta do all we can to help the economy right? Let's get out to our Lexus dealer and pick up one of these bad boys. Only problem is I don't know if the wife will let me smoke my cigars in this beauty.

Two More Cigars

2009-05-15T14:23:00.000-07:00

Ahhh!!! It's been a good week. First I had the privilege of smoking a Gurkha Shaggy. Oh so good. since then I've also had the good fortune to try two more luxury cigars. First there was the Padron 2000. This cigar was very good. It had a toasty flavor all the way through with hints of pepper as well. Then today I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Rocky Patel Edge. This is supposed to be one of the fullest bodied cigars on the market. From it's coal black wrapper and prelight aroma I just new it would be difficult for me to finish this seven inch monster. I prefer the medium bodied cigars and was really wondering if I could do this stogie justice. Well what a surprise. This cigar, although definitely full bodied was smooth and delicious. It had hints of cocoa and chocolate throughout. I also detected a wonderful caramel flavor a little over half way through. From beginning to the last draw this cigar was one for the edges. I would give the Padron an 84 and the Edge at least a 92. Boy what a privilege it has been to be me this week. Wonderful family, Loving God, fine cigars and the feeling of really being alive. If you have tried any of these cigars I would really love to hear your opinion so please leave me a comment

Gurkha Vintage Shaggy Cigar

2009-05-10T16:27:00.000-07:00

Last night I had the privilege of lighting up one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. The Gurkha shaggy. From the first draw to the last this cigar was outstanding. It had hints of cocoa, nuts and a wonderful woody flavor. The ash on this cigar burned white and fell off at about an inch and three quarters. The cigar, although full of flavor, was sooo smooth. If anybody out there is looking for a high end cigar to spend a little extra cash on grab this one immediately.

AHHH!!! LIFE IS GOOOOOD!!!

2009-05-09T03:45:00.001-07:00
