Five for Friday: Bacon, Booze, Porn…and Running

OakMonster.com - The Sticky Pig

The Sticky Pig Ice Cream Cart Kickstarter I just learned that my friend Tara–the great Paleo dessert queen, Bacon Vixen, and the owner of The Sticky Pig Bacon Confections–is looking to branch out into ice cream treats with a Kickstarter campaign. Y’all, she’s looking to get an ice cream cart.  More ways to get Tara’s super creative bacon treats...

Five for Friday: Halloween 2012

OakMonster.com - Hockey Lock Out, Slave Leia, Captain Kirk

Since Halloween is my most favoritest holiday, it is appropriate to do a Five For Friday for it, don’t you think?  After all, there is ALWAYS something new to learn. Oh, and my album is on my Facebook right here. Double Check With Your Friends About Halloween Party When Halloween falls on a weekday, make sure to check with your friend who said he’s having a Halloween party exactly WHEN that is.

Five for Friday: Retro Hair, Les Miz Surprise, and Hulk Bunny Thump!

Stan Lee’s Comikaze is actually quite mellow…for now The Hulk Bunny had a great time last Sunday. I ran into a little girl Hulk, and that was awesome.  Lou Ferrigno was there at his own booth and people all rushed up to see him and get a picture. He grinned and pointed at a sign that says it’s $40 to have a photo taken with him.  I understand that...

Dear Matt, Oh Matt. Matty Matt, Matt. What’s with the ‘stache, bro? WHAT’S. WITH. THE. ‘STACHE?!?! When are people going to take this USC Quarterback Facial Hair Curse seriously? It has been consistent almost every year!  Sanchez. Booty. Leinart. Palmer. “What is WRONG with the team today?!?” “Wait. Was that…? Is that…??

Gridiron Goddess Amy and I have the same discussion every single year when USC football team crashed and burned when they shouldn’t have.  It’s been YEARS of this and nobody ever paid...

Five for Friday: Running, Camping, Drinking, and Chris Hardwick Envying

OakMonster.com - Run Disney

Five for Friday is a weekly series (and at the rate I’m blogging…pretty much the only posts these days it seems, LOL) about the five new things I learned each week. It could be anything from a new recipe, new skills, or a new life lesson. Fireball Whiskey When I go to USC football games, I hang out at Psychogate, the official tailgate of Roy “USC Psycho” with whom I’ve been friends since college. While Jagermeister has been the alcohol of choice, this week, we were introduced to Fireball Whiskey. I feel like calling this sweet cinnamon awesomeness a whiskey...
