Hungry?

 

What in THE HELL makes people do this?  For some ungodly reason, people have a fascination with making "The Worlds Largest" whatever.  To me, it seems like a huge waste of time, energy and, in this case, food.  Because, I do not care what you say, there is no way in the world that any of this could taste good.  Terrible?  Probably  not.  Good?  Nope.

One Hit Wonder of 2000 - 2010

So I have Yahoo as my startup page in my browser.  No real reason, just always have.  One of the things I like about it is the "Today's Highlights" section.  This shows about 6 top stories or something another.  Today they had Tiger Wood's mother in law being taken to the emergency room, Jennifer Hudson being cast as Nelson Mandela's wife in a movie and some other junk.

The article that caught my eye concerned the "One Hit Wonder Of The Decade."  This lovely title was bestowed upon Daniel Powter for his 2006 hit (and I am using that term loosely) "Bad Day."  The industry leading publication BILLBOARD shows the song was Number One for 5 Weeks  in 2006.  Must have been a bad month.  Obviously, I am not a fan of the song.  My daughter (who was 5 at the time) loved it, so I guess that stands for something.

The article also lists what lost to the one hit wonder loser... Number Two went to  Terror Squad for Lean Back, Number Three is "Butterfly" by Crazy Town (whose singer ended up appearing in "Celebrity Rehab), Number Four is Mims and "This Is Why I'm Hot," and finally, Number Five was D4L with "Laffy Taffy."  I can happily say I can hum only one of these songs (Crazy Town's "Butterfly") and only because it was beaten into my skull by the radio stations. 

I do find it interesting that all of the last four songs are rap based.  I have NOTHING against rap at all.  I like some of it (Jay-Z, Eminem, Dr. Dre, some Tupac) and have it on my iPod.  But I wonder if there is a correlation here.  Do the one hit rappers just look for the one hit and back out?  Is one song all they have in them?  Just a side discussion topic...

If you can't remember the song, or want to torture your ears, go ahead and click the links:

The Modern Day Pin Up Girl - Christina Hendricks


Remember back in the  1940's there were Pin Up Girls?  Ok, so we are way to damn young to REMEMBER, but we have learned about them, heard about them, drooled over the interweb images of them... They were classy (mostly) images of gorgeous women in various stages of dress.  And yes, they were mostly dressed in some form or another.  Just a tease.

Anyway, there are a few beautiful ladies around today that would fit that bill.  One such lady is Christina Hendricks.  Ms. Hendricks is an actress who currently stars in A&E's popular drama "Mad Men."  She plays a sultry secretary/head secretary who pretty much melts my frigging TV whenever she appears.  She is one of the only reasons I watch that show.  January Jones is the other, but I will discuss her later (probably).

As you can see, Christina has bright red hair that helps make her stand out, especially against her pale complexion.  But, her most obvious feature would be her majestic yabos.  Red hair, cleavage... what else do you need?  Not a whole hell of a lot if you ask me!

Discuss!

Initial Posting!

Welcome to The Man Cavern. The blog written for regular guys who like women, gaming, music, sports and general rants. I named it The Man Cavern for a very simple reason... Man Cave was taken.

It is my belief that all of us need our place to go and just be us. Whether it is to play games, rock out to some tunes, watch the football game (Packers vs. Ravens happens to be on as I type this hehehe), drink beer with the other guys, or whatever. I, unfortunately, have no such refuge. My basement is where the wifey put the TV (she does not believe in cluttering the main living room), and her computer is down here as well. Lucky for me, I have an awesome laptop, so I can sort of escape (tabbed browsing is a fucking wonderful thing).

So, as time allows, as my brain allows, and as the wife allows (I am a man, but not a stupid one), I will post shit here. Links, pictures, rants, whatever comes to mind. Feel free to comment and let me know of ideas or your thoughts.

Pull up a throne and enjoy. Oh, that is another thing... no regular chairs here in the cavern. Only thrones, cushy, reclining thrones that have cup holders and a mini fridge attached to the side. With speakers in the head rest.
