The Sufferfest
We can get behind any product that has a tagline like, “I will kick my ass today to beat yours tomorrow”. Grab your bike, trainer, computer/iPod/TV/whatever, and a few of the Sufferfest videos and you’re ready to experience indoor bike training at it’s brutal finest. The Sufferfest ($9.49)
The Man Can
We’d buy this just for the name and the packaging. In addition to the great name and paint-can packaging, The Man Can includes everything you need to get clean after a day of manliness (splitting wood, fighting bears, fly fishing, robbing trains, etc). A bar of Fisherman’s Soap, Spicy Shave Gel, Bay Oil Rum, a tin of Fisherman’s Hand Butter, and a super-scratchy scrub mitt will leave you smooth and clean, so all the ladies will swoon. The included paint can opener also doubles as a bottle opener. The Man Can ($50)
Orvis Five Alarm Briefcase
Orvis took 29-oz firehose grade canvas (the same stuff that firefighters drag through burning buildings, broken glass, and whatever else they find in their way) and combined it with American bison leather to create the new Five Alarm Briefcase. Despite it’s classic style points (such as the Sam Browne studs that secure the top flap), the Five Alarm Briefcase still has the modern features we demand, such as a padded laptop section and internal dividers. Orvis Five Alarm Briefcase ($300)
iGo Green Power Tower Surge Protector
The iGo Green Surge Protector Tower is one of the “greenest” charging stations we have ever seen. It is so smart it automatically cuts off power to devices when they’re in standby mode but has four always-on plugs for constant energy munchers like your DVR. It also delivers a standard +5V output via USB ports for charging iPods and other USB-charging cell phones. Its green plugs even rotate to avoid cable kinks or oversized AC brick collisions. One button reactivates all outlets, even if they’ve entered “green mode.” Check out this and many other green charging devices at www.igo.com ($80)
Assassin’s Creed 2
The follow up to Ubisoft’s wildly successful 2007 franchise, Assassin’s Creed 2 puts you in control of a new assassin named Ezio to take down targets in Renaissance Italy. The player is able to accomplish the missions in this game any way that they see fit, as Ubisoft has made everything free roaming and non-linear. With all new weapons designed by Leonard Da Vinci himself this sequel is sure to satisfy your bloodthirsty fixations. ($59 Xbox, PC, Playstation 3)
Them Crooked Vultures
We have give you the clothes to look like them here. The debut self-titled CD from Them Crooked Vultures comes out tomorrow and is definitely one that should be on your music radar. This group featuring Dave Grohl( Nirvana/Foo Fighters) John Paul Jones ( Led Zeppelin) and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) put together a 13-track jam session of funky beats, rock riffs, and some mean drum fills. If you wanted to know what Led Zeppelin + Nirvana + Queens of the Stone Age sounds like all mashed up, well wait no more for this badass disc. Standout Tracks : Nobody Loves Me And Neither Do I, Dead End Friends, and Gunman. ($10)
Fjallraven Jacket
What makes Fjallraven G-1000 Jacket unique is that you can adapt the garment to the current weather conditions. If the weather is expected to take a turn for the worse, simply heat more Greenland Wax into exposed areas using an iron or hairdryer. This will make the G-1000 fabric almost waterproof and windproof. This jacket is a must have for the harshest of conditions. ($349)

Heat – Blu Ray
By far considered Michael Mann’s best work, and by far one of the best guy movies of all time comes out on Blu-Ray today. Heat has one of the most thrilling street shootouts of all time and features a star-studded cast of awesome actors/actresses. In fact, this is the only movie before the atrocious Righteous Kill where Pacino and DeNiro appear on screen at the same time. If you are male + you own a blu-ray player = instant purchase.
Beta Pocket Inkless Pen
Okay, now we’ve seen it all. Not only does the Beta Pocket Inkless Pen have a great modern design, it also has one really cool trick up it’s sleeve. It writes without ink. Utilizing a special metal alloy nib on the front of the pen, the Beta is able to write on most paper surfaces without any need for ink. It writes and responds similar to a pencil, yet your words, doodles, or phone numbers, cannot be smudged or rubbed out. You can draw your own conclusions, but color us impressed. Beta Pocket Inkless Pen ($35)
