Pro Bowl to be played in Hawaii in 2011, one week before Super Bowl
"HONOLULU (AP) -- The Pro Bowl will be played before the Super Bowl when it returns to Honolulu next year.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority and the NFL announced Tuesday that the game will be played at Aloha Stadium on Jan. 30, the Sunday before the Super Bowl.
The Pro Bowl had historically been played in Honolulu the week after the Super Bowl, but was changed when the all-star game moved to Miami this year. The NFL says playing the Pro Bowl before the big game generated more excitement and interest and was a good kick off to Super Bowl week.
Hawaii is paying $4 million per game to host the Pro Bowl in 2011 and '12."

5 More Signs That Life Sucks . . . . .
5 Signs You’re Getting Older Even Though You’re Not Old
How Long a Hangover Lasts
This is by far the number one on this list. Anyone who is over the age of 25 can attest to this one. In college we were invincible. You could party until 3, go to class the next day, take a nap and go out the next night at 11PM and pull it off 5 days a week. Honestly I don’t know how the hell I did that. Today? It’s not documented anywhere but I’m pretty sure if I go out on a Friday I’m not fully recovered until Tuesday of the next week. If it’s a long night? Wednesday.
Movie and TV Quotes are Outdated
Man do I feel old when I quote something out of Ace Ventura or Back to the Future and my 19 year old cousin says something like “What’s Back to the Future?” I mean for Christ’s sake I may be over 30 but I’m not using a walker dammit. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be for my parents when I don’t know what they’re referencing. Now I know how it feels.
Calling it a Night at 8:30 on a Friday
Let’s face it. More often than not when you’ve gotten finished with an entire work day on a Friday you’re really not all that geeked up to go out. It’s WAY easier to just order in some Chinese and fall asleep in front of the television. I guess because I’m married this holds true a bit more. Still though, even as a single guy I went out way less. You just don’t care anymore.
Muscle Soreness after Sports
Since when was I limping around for 6 days after playing basketball for 2 hours? What in God’s name is happening to my body here. I think I might actually have arthritis. I mean, arthritis man. Really? How is this possible? Do I have to be one of those guys that stretches for 20 minutes before doing anything now? I’m very nervous about this. Recovery time ain’t what it used to be. I think I need to do steroids.
Much Harder to Tell Young People’s Ages
I have no idea how old these girls are
I think this works in both directions. Just the other day I saw this kid who I literally thought was 15 and I found out he was a senior in college. The next day I saw a group of girls who could have been 15 or 40. Seriously I had no idea. The youth of today puzzles me and guessing ages is futile. Not to mention, are all young people out there obnoxious? As my buddy Eds says, you listen to these “youths” speak and think to yourself, “I was never this much of a douchbag.”
Bonus
“I Don’t Remember it Being Like That When I was a Kid” Starts
You find yourself using that line more and more often. No explanation needed here.

Good Luck On Your Mission . . . . .
LoveSystems: Closing At Her Place
1) Find out where she lives.
Bedside Boot RemovalThis step seems obvious, but you’d be surprised how often it is unintentionally left out. When you know where a woman lives, you can plan ahead to deal with the logistical problems you’re going to hit later.
Does she live near the venue? Does she have a roommate? Is she in a dorm? Do you know of a cool bar/after hours joint near her place? When you want to bounce her back there, are you going to drive, walk, or take a cab? Even if you end up with a phone number + date instead of going home with her, this info will be useful for when you go out again.
Here are a few scenarios to consider, and ways I’ve figured out how to deal with them:
* Roommates: When there is a separate bedroom to retreat to, sacrificing a few minutes of conversation to win over the roommate(s) will make your being there a lot more comfortable. After they trust you, you can use any nonsense reason to bounce your girl to her bedroom. “Bet my room is cleaner than yours,” is one example.
* Cab ride: If she lives a cab ride away, be sure to keep up the momentum in the car, and continue to build up physical intimacy. If you were touching her arm in the bar, touch her leg in the cab. If you were about to make out in the bar, make out in the cab. Avoid cabs with bucket seats that make physical contact impossible.
* Dorm: If there’s a security guard, you can go through the lengthy (and vibe-killing) process of giving him your ID and signing in, or you can tell the girl to slide her card through and sneak in behind her. You get points for being resourceful, and it’s exciting because it seems like you’re doing something wrong.
* Shared bedroom: There are public bathrooms in dorms and hotels that I have found very accommodating when dealing with shared room situations. Be sure and scan for them when entering, and when it’s time to bounce to it, tell the girl that you’re “taking her on a field trip.”
2) Amp up the physical tension.
This is a huge topic that lots of Love Systems instructors have gone into incredible detail on, but the general principle is important. If you can get a girl sexually excited, then she’s going to want to bring you to a place where you can have sex as quickly as humanly possible. At Love Systems we teach everything you need to know to accomplish this goal, from framing the conversation sexually to escalating things physically, but in the meantime here are a few quick pointers to get you started:
* Always end a touch or kiss before they do/want you to.
* Drop the topic of sex into conversation (in a light, joking way) as quickly as possible.
* Start touching the way you’d touch your boss and build to the way you’d touch a girlfriend.
3) “Let’s get you home.”
It’s easy to think of reasons to give a woman why she has to come back to your place. Keep it simple. “Let me show you that book I was talking about,” is perfect. It gives her plausible deniability and doesn’t tip your hand.
It’s harder to do this with her place. “Do you want to take me home with you?” makes you sound like a stray dog, not a man. “Let’s go to your place” is totally cliché thanks to every movie from the 1970s. “Let’s get out of here” is great if it’s obvious and explicit that she wants to have sex, but if you’re still flying a bit under the radar or her friends are around, you’re going to need something a little more subtle.
Instead, take the lead with “let’s get you home.” It’s a little dominant, it shows you know how to lead, but it also doesn’t trigger state breaks. If her friends are around, it implies that you are just going to make sure that she gets home safe. She shouldn’t feel any pressure since there’s really nothing implied. And if nothing’s going to happen, then there’s no reason she can’t bail on her friends, right?
(If you don’t remember state breaks, review Chapter 10 of Magic Bullets now. If you haven’t read Magic Bullets, get it. It’s the official Love Systems guide to meeting and attracting women, and where most successful guys start. Get it.)
4) Assume you’re going upstairs.
There’s nothing more awkward than walking a woman home and standing there silent for an eternity waiting for her to invite you up. Avoid this situation by assuming that she’ll be bringing you upstairs. Do not pause by the door. Do not a 60's pinupsay “Well, it was nice hanging out with you.” Keep the momentum of the interaction going as though you are still in the process of hanging out.
If she has to invite you in, that’s risking a state break.
Of course, there will be times when she suggests that you don’t come up, either because she doesn’t want to appear easy, or because she thinks letting you upstairs is an implicit agreement that you’ll be sleeping together. You can usually defuse this by giving yourself a bedtime. “I’ve got work in the morning, so I can only come up for a little bit” is one of my favorites. Say this before she even gets a chance to tell you why you can’t come in – like you coming in is a foregone conclusion.

Some Ways Not To Play The Game . . . . .
14 Ways to Ensure That You Won't Get Laid
1. Insist I call you anything other than your God-given name.
You could not pay me to utter the words, "So, where did you grow up, Whip?" This means you soon will express your feelings in the third person. "Yeah, baby. Whip likes when you nibble on his ear." NO THANKS.
2. Try to trick me into talking about my breasts by challenging me to a bet I never agreed to.
'OK, I know you're not going to tell me, but if I correctly guess how big your tits are, then you owe me a kiss.' That sounds like a real fucking treat. How about I try to guess how many Cris Angel DVDs you own and if I'm right, I get to get my period and catch a cab home?
3. Ask me to let you knock me up. First conversation. Never met. Actual IM transcript below:
Me: I think I have a bad internet connection my comp keeps kicking me off, sorry
Him: I hope u suck as good as ur computer. can u say jackpot!!
Me: Don't be an asshole
Him: you would probably stop calling me that after i hammered yours
Me: Pig. BYE
Him: well if god didnt intend for men to bang their girlfriends on their period, he wouldn't have bed bath and beyond mail out 20% off coupons each month alongside the shamwow endcap. i'm thinkin' combine both, shamwow and tampons, SHAMPONS.
Him: I would want you to agree to not be on birth control
Me: Whuuuuut. You're JOKING. Is this why your ex dumped you?
Him: no she cheated, well got raped at a party she had no business being at.
Him: I just want u to agree to knock you up. It's not donating a kidney.
Me: I'd donate both first.
Him: i don't want you on birth control, will u agree to that if we have a say, 60 day rule
Me: No
Him: You don't even know the 60 day rule
Me: I don't care, I read the first 7 words.
Him: i would respect your choice to not get u pregnant in the first 2 months together. that is fair.
Him: if i was ur bf what would u be doing now? Me: Checking to see if you poked holes in the condom. BYE
4. Follow me into the ladies room and hide in the next stall while I'm peeing.
Once I emerge to go to the sink, call my name and I turn to see you in the handicap stall with your Dockers around your ankles beating off in an effort to entice me with first date bathroom stall sex with you. Then, as I'm storming off yell, "What? You said you were spontaneous!" Be the most psychotic douche lord ever by leaving me a voice mail later that evening expressing how much fun you had on our date and that you can't wait to see me again.
5. Tell me I can't take my box of leftover food from the restaurant in your car.
Then, upon my irritated pressing, admit that you think "It's trashy to take doggie bags and that it'll make my car smell." Having a clean car is good, respectable and responsible. Being sociopathically anal about your car is obsessive, creepy and controlling.
6. Ask if we can take my car since yours has puke in the backseat of it.
Awesome. Because I don't want to have more than one martini (with a roofie back, please) or anything on our date in order to endure your lame ass. This poses several questions: Whose puke is it? When did it happen? Why isn't it cleaned up? You'd mentioned it was in the backseat. Was it from yesterday's date who made the regretful decision to hop back there with you and vomited upon seeing your Tasmanian Devil tattoo on your chest? Why go on a date with your car in that shape? Why not make something less revolting up like your car engine was overheating earlier? Puke in your car? Classy maneuver, buddy. You're gross.
7. Get mad at me for things I did before we met 18 minutes ago.
Act like I told you I just blew the entire kitchen staff when I say you're not the only guy I've been out with after you asked. We met on a dating website, stupid. Lose your shit, then inform me, using your best sales strategy, that you're going to the men's room to think about this and decide if you want to see me again or not. Before you storm off, believe me when I tell you I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat awaiting your decision.
8. Tell me you have blood in your stool.
We've been out a few times. I gave it a chance. It never happened and I suggest we part ways. In an effort to gain attention/sympathy, through heavy, deep sighs, gently break the news to me that you need to see a doctor for internal bleeding. 'Well, Sabrina, I, uh, wasn't going to tell you this, but, uh...*loud sigh*...Well, I have blood in my stool." Shake your head in dismay, blink slowly, take another deep breath to signal that you're going to be strong and composed now. Telling me anything about your stool is just disgusting. I can't decide which is worse: The fact that you use the word "stool" or that you tell me you have blood in it.
9. Ask me to go someplace that doesn't serve alcohol.
I like coffee. A coffee date will not get you laid. If there aren't cocktails, it's not a real date and just proves to me that you don't know what you're doing. Alcohol increases your chances, queerling.
10. Comment on the fact that you think the chutney on your chicken "looks like poo."
Sick. Are you five? There is no word less sexy than "poo." Associating your entree with the word "poo" is at the very least, unappetizing. "Poop" might have been slightly less vomit-inducing, but still won't get you laid.
11. Brag about treating your boys to an expensive dinner in Los Angeles.
Then laugh manically and offer me a fist bump after telling me you canceled your credit card the next day.
12. Get shit-housed and tell me you love me after 3 days.
Then totally disregard my request to not say it again, then say it 4 more times. If we ever slept together, it would probably take me 40 minutes to fall asleep. 39 of them spent trying to ignore you gazing up at me as you lay on your stomach with your chin posted up on your fists, and one minute spent awaiting your return with the Ambian I requested.
13. Ask me to come to your house to watch a movie on our first date.
Cheap. Sleazy. No effort. Or you don't have a car.
14. Ask me to do some activity that requires me to wear a sports bra.
If I wanted to exercise on a date, I'd dangle Levi Johnston's jock strap in front of Richard Simmons' face and run like hell.

Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures . . . . .
Teenagers Getting Drunk With Booze Soaked Tampons
"Milagros Rios, a 35-year-old waitress and single mother of two in New York City, thought she’d seen it all. But when she walked into her bathroom about a year ago to find her 18-year-old daughter Nicole laying down on the floor and sleeping with a battle of vodka and a box of tampons in her hand, it was a sight she’d never envisioned.
Nicole had been experimenting for the third time that year with a new method to become intoxicated. She had soaked tampons in vodka and then introduced them into her anus and vagina as though she were having her period, in the usual manner.
She claimed her body absorbed the alcohol faster that way than if she had drank it. Soon enough, she lost control and couldn’t even make it back to her bedroom. She did it to avoid having the smell of alcohol on her breath.
“I didn’t want to ruin my minty breath,” she remembered sarcastically about her first time using the method. “I was worried about getting home smelling like beer and mom flipping on me, but I wanted to get a booze, so I did it.”

“I didn’t want to ruin my minty breath,” she remembered sarcastically about her first time using the method. “I was worried about getting home smelling like beer and mom flipping on me, but I wanted to get a booze, so I did it.”

Only 5 Situations Call For This Kind Of Deception . . . . .
1. If you get the opportunity to pitch in the Little League World Series.
In 2001 Danny Almonte, and young pitcher from the Dominican Republis, who moved to the Bronx, pitched the first perfect game in the Little League World Series since 1957. His staggering 70 mph fastball and large stance gave way to rumors that he was older than 12 years of age, the maximum age a player could be to participate in the event. After months of background checks by private investigators, it was revealed that Almonte was actually 14 years old at the time of the perfect game. Subsequent records (his 3-0 record and perfect game) were stripped from the books and he was sent packing. Almonte is still actively pursuing a Major League contract, something that may come easier with the publicity he occurred back in 2001 when he was deemed “Little Unit.”
He really is 32
2. If you have the chance to co-star with a mega celebrity like Miley Cyrus.
In 2006, Jason Earles, an actor from San Diego California, was cast as Jackson Stewart, the 16 year old brother of Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana (played by Miley Cyrus) on Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana. Earles told producers his birth date was April 26, 1985 making him the appropriate age to be cast (19). The Associated Press has since revealed Earles true age of 32. Who would have thought a “man” nearly twice Miley’s age could pose as her 16 year old brother. This just proves, if you’ve got a chance at stardom take it, you may be playing on the blue team alongside Earles at next years Disney Channel Games (I had never heard of it either).
3. On a resume.
Lying on a resume is hardly a new idea, and companies are increasing their bids to oust resume cheaters through more intense background checks. Yet knowing that many other individuals are at this time “enhancing ” their own resumes, you should first understand what a resume really is. A resume is a short description of personal and academic accomplishments bound by carefully placed words (nouns, verbs etc.) that attempt to reflect the kind of person you are. They do not however reflect your attitude or personality accurately, which in my opinion leaves them as fair game to “enhance.”
For Example: If a company is looking to hire a Sales Executive with three years experience, what’s stopping you from suggesting to them that you do have three years experience? At best it’ll get you that coveted interview, and you can “wow” them with your personal skills and attitude (see #2).
Here are five key phrases to use on a resume when establishing experience or age:
a. In charge of…
b. Established
c. Accomplished
d. Familiar with…
e. Succeeded
4. To take advantage of a restaurant chain’s birthday “deal”.
The next time you going out for dinner at a T.G.I Friday’s or East Side Mario’s, take note of the chains birthday celebrations/giveaways on their respective websites. In many cases if you make a big enough deal they will through some coupons or free swag at you without proof of birthday. The worst they are going to do is check your I.D. and say no, but many of the restaurants patrons don’t give two !@#% about it as it’s not coming out of their own pocket. Besides, it’s not like a major restaurant chain is going to go bankrupt if they give out an extra appetizer or two, just ask the employees at Bill Knapp’s.
(* Bill Knapp’s was famous for giving out discounts to customer’s on their birthday, they went bankrupt in 2002).
5. If you have an online dating profile.
Dating profiles are like resumes (see # 3), so “enhance” away, but let it be known that most dating sites are cracking down on the embellishments of it’s users so be discreet . This means no lying about your career or your relationship status. A simple recalculation of age may broaden user’s horizons, bringing people together that may have otherwise kept clicking to another profile. If you think your cheating the honor system take comfort in knowing that much of the information and statistics provided by these dating sites are false and misleading (2% of all U.S. marriages are a result of eharmony’s “matchmaking” etc.). Stretching the truth is a requirement for these sites after all.

The Costs Of Being A Wingman Continue To Rise . . . . .
Chicken-wing craze sends prices soaring
"It's getting more expensive to be a wing man — or woman — these days. The skyrocketing cost of chicken wings is causing restaurant and tavern owners to raise menu prices and threatening to put some out of business.
"Chicken wings once were so cheap," says Ken Moran, owner of Rochester, N.Y.'s Jeremiah's Tavern, which has had to increase menu prices twice in the past year. "It was an attempt to use all the parts of the bird. Now it's reversed. They've gotten pretty crazy in terms of popularity."
Wings "used to be a throwaway item," says Andy Howard, head of purchasing and product development for the Texas-based Wingstop chain. "The poultry guys couldn't even give it away. Now prices have gone through the roof."
The primary factor driving up wing prices is the growing number of restaurants, including many national chains, that are adding wings to their offerings, says Richard Lobb, spokesman for the Washington-based chicken industry trade group the National Chicken Council.
According to the Agriculture Department, the average wholesale price of wings in 2009 was $1.47 a pound, up 39% from 2008 and the highest it has been, adjusted for inflation, since the mid-1970s."
