Summer Editions Politics Beards Daily Life
I’m glad I’m not the only one suffering with seasonal allergies, my daily dose of Zyrtec D isn’t quite holding, and by 3 I’m snorting, sniffling and schnozwangering my way through the remainder of the work day. Sure I can amp my dose with a Pepsid or a Zantac but I’m shit out of luck if I want to operate heavy machinery or drive a car. Damn deviated septum from a series of broken noses adds facial character, but isn’t exactly aiding the respiratory malfunction. I’m stuck to ride the allergy monster out, at least until the pollution and pollen count levels out and the trees stop blooming. Additional ‘over the counter’ medication and me, not a good idea. Bear with me, entries might get wonky, I’ve taken the liberty of listing instead of trying to organize thoughts, my apologies. Anyway, allergy sufferers unite and take over the cold and allergy aisle at the drugstore, upward and onward we go, brain fog be damned, I’ve let this shit simmer long enough…
Urban Outfitters Funding McCain Through Obama Items
While the typical Urban Outfitters shopper is likely to be liberal minded as is the province and privilege of youth, the fiftysomething Richard Hayne, Urban Outfitters’ president and founder is a mom-and-apple-pie conservative. Not since I covered Hayne supporting Rick Santorum back in 2003 have I shopped UO, so what’s he doing pimping (wait that’s the wrong word) a Barack Obama display and stocklist chock full of Obama t-shirts and gift items? Perhaps he’s funding the McCain campaign? See also Urban Outfitters Billionaire a Wingnut in Progressive Clothing via Towleroad.
Army Guys Making Weight
Dorky, mildly hot and amusing ‘before and after’ of a trio of soldiers named Team Chubb, Tubb and Flubb for Redline Energy and Fat Burning Supplement. Advert appeared in the March edition of High Performance Magazine, a lifestyle marketing info-mag they give away at the gym. Click for advert and the ‘before’ of the Army grunts.
Hands Up For Detroit As Red Wings Win Stanley Cup
A few burned up cars, some civil disobedience in the streets, isn’t that just another night in Detroit Rock City anyway? Nicklas Lidstrom becomes the first European to captain a Stanley Cup winner as Detroit bests a stubborn Pittsburgh Penguins team. Great playoff Photo Gallery and the NHL commercial titled RAISE with it’s flipbook style photography and footage was a true winner.
An Observation of Sorts:
Watching reruns of Barney Miller the other night, I’m thinking Det. Stan “Wojo” Wojeciehowicz was hot. Was it the tight dacron slacks and super wide tie? Please note: Zyrtec D contains a small amount of pseudoepinephrine, which will occassionally make me horny. What? At least I didn’t say Isaac from the Love Boat.

Why Everyman Should Go To A Barbershop
If you’re barber has a website, that’s a day spa, and therefore automatically gets disqualified as a traditional barbershop. Traditional barbershops ignore technology in favor of extra copies of Motor Trend, always have hot towels, warm lather, and scare the shit out of you with their dope ass straight razor skills. Real barbershops never let you leave the chair without a little Pinaud Clubman, are like mechanics, when you find a good one…

re: Army Guys Making Weight.
Kudos to all three, but I’m curious: I can understand how Flubb (far right) got pretty cut up, but did that make his body hair disappear? Why does this happen with such alarming frequency?
Would he not be all the more Fabb (and all less the Flubb) were he not still furry? I ask you denizens of JockoHomo, why?
Caleb hardly looks like the same guy. Shame they all got rid of the chest tufts though.
1.)Richard Hayne is a douche bag!
2.)The army boys are looking great, but i have to agree with the other guys. Why did you have to shave? I love fur.
Yay on the Hairshirt! Chris Glass totally rocks.
You are correct, Wojo is indeed hot…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSFCyb8lqBc
i’ll third that — wojo was hot in the the “big, fit, dumb & loveable” way!
“Schnozwangering” Jocko? Is that a real term or are we quasi-borrowing from Willy Wonka?
And yes, I agree, far right guy should have kept the fur, but then they think it covers their “cut” I guess.
A Schnoz wha? He says in his best Veruca Salt voice!
I remember as a kid being fascinated by Wojo’s forarms, his neck and being very aware that he was nice.
Wojo was COMPLETELY hot. And if any of you tuned in to the brilliant-but-cancelled Sons & Daughters on ABC (2006), he’s still a handsome man.
Where could concrete info on Hayne’s political contributions be dug up?
Do the presidential campaigns have to make their donor information public?
i’m a Wojo fan from way back – like, preteen. i remember in one episode he described himself as a ‘big, polish hot dog’ … mmm …
Yeah, I like the one on the far right _before_ he got cut. Fur and a little tummy can be hot.
Henrik Zetterberg looks great with the beard.
I suffered horribly from hayfever for years until “Reactine” appeared on the market. I take one pill a day for three weeks and I am practically free from any symptoms.
I know its available in the USA and in Canada, but I always took the german variant, since I tend to be there when allergy time starts.
There is also “Reactine Duo” or “Plus” which gets your nose clear, but I got some skin irritation from that and I am fine with the regular version.
The other good thing about it: It doesn´t make you tired and you can safely drive or fiddle with heavy machinery.
Until they find out that it makes you impotent, this is the best thing the pharma industry came up with.
I’m thrilled that the army boys got it together but…
…am I the only one who thinks this looks like a publicity stunt for activeduty.com?
Just sayin’…
Damn! Missed out on the Beards Not Bombs t-shirts. All sold out. But what’s up with them only being available in Large? Boo hoo…
Over at Bearotic we loves that Chris Glass and Wire & Twine. Don’t forget to check out their FIERCE design too!
Sorry, I’m from Detroit and I heard no reports of any car burnings and civil disobedience in the streets. For some reason everyone enjoys giving the City of Detroit a bad rap. If you would like to see how Hockeytown celebrates just search YouTube for Red Wings Parade.
