Venice Skate Park

The second largest tourist attraction in California finally gets what it needs…a badass skatepark right on the beach! Skate legends converged on Venice Beach to celebrate the opening of this new, soon-to-be legendary, skatepark.

The park is sick. Check the video for full deets:

Super Manly Job


I defy you to find a more manly job than this one.

An alcoholic beverage company (Whyte and Mackay) has hired a team of hard-core drillers out of New Zealand to drill through the ice in Antarctica to retrieve bottles of 100-year-old scotch that are frozen deep below.

Dude, its a treasure hunt expedition for fucking whiskey! I can’t even think of a way to add more manliness to that scenario…well, maybe if they drillers are entertained on their downtime by a team of classy strippers, but where would one find strippers in Antarctica? And, I can only assume that they will have to hunt polar bears with high powered rifles as their only means of sustenance…but i digress.

Whyte & Mackay, the drinks group that now owns McKinlay and Co., has asked for a sample of the 100-year-old scotch for a series of tests that could decide whether to relaunch the now-defunct Scotch.

Workers from New Zealand’s Antarctic Heritage Trust will use special drills to reach the crates, frozen in Antarctic ice under the Nimrod Expedition hut near Cape Royds. A burly dude named Al Fastier will lead the retrieval expedition in January.

Fastier said he did not want to sample the contents.

“It’s better to imagine it than to taste it,” he said. “That way it keeps its mystery.”

What a liar.

Father of the blog gives Automated Man thumbs up!


Automated Man gets a nice fat thumbs up from an experienced man and father at Father of the blog. Thank you dude for backing us up. All men want Automated Man delivered.

“As a man one of the most agitating things I keep up with is what needs replacing. My wife asks me almost weekly and honestly, I just don’t keep up with that. I think it would be much easier (on me of course), if she would just go look.”

Spoken like a real man!

Ben Stiller Does Nothing

“Life is wasted on people.”

What a great line. Ben Stiller hasn’t done much recently to catch my attention. In fact, I’ve tried to avoid every film he’s been in since “Zoolander”. However, this new indie flick from the director of “The Squid And The Whale” Noah Baumbach looks pretty damn good.

Its slow and impassive…but then again, so is the time we’re living in. I feel oddly settled after watching the trailer (I feel the same after reading The Catcher In The Rye) but for unknown reasons. Perhaps the premise of the film hits home: average guy leaves New York City and moves to Los Angeles in order to “do nothing” and hopefully find himself.

Check out the trailer for “Greenberg” yourself:

Get Your Caffeine Fix at "School Girl Thursdays"


Have you ever been waiting in line first thing in the morning at your local coffee shop, looking around half asleep and wishing life would just hurry up and get that cup of joe in your body? Sure, we’ve all been there.

Now, what could make that wait just a bit more tolerable…Bikini Clad Baristas!

Check out this new coffee shop in Denver called “Perky Cups” where beach bodied bikini babes serve your lattes with a smile. The owner, affectionately called “C.B.I.” or chief bikini inspector (what a perv) is planning themed days such as Military Wednesdays and School Girl Thursdays. Personally, I don’t care what the theme is so long as they stay hot.

Pirate Radio

Pirate Radio is a manly movie if there ever was one. It’s about the masculine pursuits of freedom, happiness, and shagging. Ah yes, once upon a time in 1966 Great Britain, it was illegal to play rock music on the radio. That reminds me of rap in the 80′s, but I digress. So, a motley crew of music loving freaks set sail (or actually hoisted anchor) just far enough off shore to be out of reach of the British govt. and the rest is history. The music rocks! Bravo to music supervisor Nick Angel! This is a rock and roll roller coaster. Not sentimental and not at all just for those boomers who were there. Everyone will love this ensemble cast of manly misfits! See it! You won’t be sorry.
