Welcome to the NEW Party Favors Blog!

A MESSAGE TO THE CONTRIBUTERS:

As of now I've just reposted everything from the old blog and changed the background, however, more changes to come! (And these changes can start with all of you!)

As blog author and fanatic I've selected all of you to contribute at will. Feel no pressure to do so or not to do so but I thought this would, (1.) generate more interest in the posts (2.) bring in a bit more diversity than the sick perverted minds of the C's and Big Rach Hill (3.) be fun, fun for everyONE!

Enjoy and play around, there's lot's to do and be done. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Recession Got You Down?

Depressing times call for a little pick me up from our friends at Good Magazine, with tips on how to beat this recession thing with frugal living:

Ugly Holiday Sweaters

It's a holiday tradition to celebrate the gift of giving with some spiked eggnog and cheap sweaters. That's why baadsheep.com is great if the local Salvation Army has sold out already.

It's a bit more pricey than Salvo but it's worth checking out if only for the sweater descriptions. Some of my favorites: "Make it rein on them does!" and "Frosty the Ho Man".

Here are just a few samples of this fabulous collections:

He Love's the 80's

Stylez G. White ... the latest in NFL name changes. Personally I was thinking about going with "Courtney Tres Uno Cinco" (315 much?), but Ocho Cinco and Stylez G. are pretty awesome too.

Formerly known as Greg White, the defensive lineman for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Stylez G. White was inspired by the Michael J. Fox classic 'Teen Wolf' for his name change. It comes from Fox's sidekick in the movie shown to the left. Check out this Yahoo! article for more.

Coming up on Grey's Anatomy

What if you were having surgery and wanted to test out the progress mid operation... here's a little sample of the banjo test:

I Heart Digital SNL Shorts!

Boarder Patrol Tips on Housekeeping

Dear Border Patrol,

Where's the best place to find inexpensive house cleaners?

- Dirty Homeowner

Dear Dirty Homeowner,

Why the border would obviously be the best place to find such cleaners. For just $75 you can get a full home cleaning or $80 for cleaning and Spanish lessons!

The End of Prohibition!

Today marks the 75th Anniversary of the end to Prohibition, all the way back in 1933! Willing to celebrate with us is one of my favorite magazines GOOD with this interesting and informative (ayoooo) video!

Also, if the office doesn't want you watching videos on the clock, here's some literature for your eyes only: Dub St. Journal on the Prohibition

Smells like... Penn State?

Though the audience of this blog knows at least one Penn State loyal, whom we'd probably be less inclined to catch a sniff of, he'd definitely appreciate this nonetheless. The fragrance company Masik has released a line of University Fragrances inspired by a few select schools.

Don't worry if you're not a Nittany Lion from Pennsylvania, there's now a UNC fragrance out and more to come for Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn, and LSU!

If I had to guess what Ithaca's scent would be I'd probably lean towards something marijuana related and dare I say, spicy Asian food for Cornell? Alright that last one was a low blow.

Going Banana's

Courtesy of Facebook.com I found this awesome interactive site for Chiquita... yeah, the banana company!

I couldn't post the video I made onto the blog but check it out and make one yourself anyways... Click the Chiquita Lady to check it out!!

Steven Seagel Returns...

...With his own reality show?

Apparently Mr. Black Belt himself is ready to return to the spotlight. Instead of the badass stunts he pulled in 80's and 90's he's turned himself over to the law in this A&E reality show.

Steve's been shooting up and down in the Big Easy as a sheriff's deputy! Set for late 2009, check out this Variety article for more on what sounds like the next great action reality TV show!!

Russian Recession

If people didn't feel like the economic crisis was really effecting them heres news from Russia to make us all be thankful over the holidays...



From Reuters: "Crisis forces Russians to cut back vodka drinking"



According to the article, not only are the Russians cutting back on their vodka purcheses but their also turning to other desperate methods to get their retardation on.



"At times like this, any grandmother can collect some old bottles, fill them with whatever she wants, and sell them to the alcoholics that are trying to save some money....



Bootleggers quickly filled the vacuum with a low-grade black market brew, which was blamed for widespread liver failure, jaundice and toxic hepatitis that swamped the city's hospitals and its morgues....


Other drinkers went for anything with alcohol content, including cosmetics, perfumes and cleaning agents to bring about the same effects as vodka, whose name in Russian is the diminutive of the word for water."

Great News!

I don't have anything quirky or interesting to say about this because new news this awesome speaks for itself....

THE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MOVIE DEAL HAS BEEN MADE!!

For $15 million we'll keep our fingers crossed that it is as amazing as the short, but so fabulous, series.

For all those cold outdoor fire pit parties with drunk bro's and girls drinking wine coolers with oversized sweatshirts this is the ultimate party tool! Not only can you keep your favorite brew close to your heart and your baby (...what?) but you can get your fresh gear customized shall I say... "whatever you like...".

Happiness is like peeing your pants...

Or in a purified water filter.

NASA is up to big things as always but this latest story from Reuters news has caught the attention of the nations interests. According to the article, "it's a water-recycling device that will process the crew's urine for communal consumption." The advancement of technology never ceases to amaze me.

Fresh Cuts

We might have to take the boys down to the Cornel Barber Shop and see if they can get fixed up with some of this stuff...

Mrs. O Styling Points

Oprah probably would approve but this blog has nothing to do with her unfortunately.

"Mrs. O" is a new blog inspired by the fashions of recently elected First Lady, Michelle Obama. Keeping tabs on her semi-controversial election-night dress to what all the top designers think of Mrs. O, this blog is more fabulous than we know what to do with. Now if I could only find a website like yearbookyourself.com, that allows us to superimpose our faces into different Hillary Clinton hairstyles. A girl can dream....

Laying Pipe

Those Maverick's sure know how to lay the pipe... give either image a click to experience the real Joe the Plumber!

... needless to say I've been having a pretty shitty morning. Might I also mention that this is good practice for a career field that may or may not, dare I say, cater to retarded retards.

Rach is that you?

Election Day 2008

Although just about everyone I know has already voted - here are some semi-related Election Day stories of interest...

Carhartt Sponsorship? I know the Republican's are getting backlash from controversial expenditures on Sarah Palin's wardrobe but the Carhartt jacket on Election Day? I'm not even mad.






Watch out Obama Girl, this small Japanese fishing port that shares the name of your favorite candidate may give you a run for your money as top Barack supporter. In Obama, Japan, "Shops in the town have been selling everything from T-shirts, fish burgers and steamed cakes to chopsticks bearing Obama's name."

"We've been dancing for Mr. Obama for more than six months," said Yuko Shirayama of the local "Obama Girls" hula dancing group, created to cheer on Obama. "So I hope he wins."

Last but not least: E!Online picked out it's "Most Entertaining Campaign Moments"! Tina Fey would have gotten my vote for top choice but I suppose without Joe the Plumber and the Katie Couric interview what would we have done for Halloween?

Drunk Pumpkin

How wasted is your pumpkin?

Spice it up this Halloween and leave the candy for the kids, here's my vote for this years Halloween treat. Drink with... ummm... beer?!?!
Pumpkin Ale Bread
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 salt
1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/8 tsp ground cloves

3 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
12-oz bottle Pumpkin Ale

Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

In a very large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Make a well in the center and add in vegetable oil, pumpking puree, and beer. Stir just until no streaks of flour remain, and pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly pressed. Loaf should be light or medium gold.Turn out of the pan and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.When cool, store in an airtight container.

Makes 1 loaf

Seriously... Have Breakfast Your Way

Bah-dah-da-da-dah... Watch out Burger King and the local grocery stores ever expanding cereal isle. "Me and Goji" gives all you crunchy granola hippies out there 30+ choices in cereal ingredients! The best part is they let you pick what goes with what.

Create my own delicious and nutritious cereal.... hmm pass the milk!

Such a Grey May

Some highlights were: breaking Carlo Rossi jugs with baseball bats and vollyballs, watching Beckham bend it, homemade chicken wing/drumsticks, and a crazy car adventure with Derick Callahan.I have made my final pick for Party Favor of the weekend and that award goes to:

THE STRIPPER POLE
