And how about the people who drive her around?  All kinds of rules!  The driver must stay in the car the whole time and never glance back at her in the rear view mirror.  Looking at her will get them fired on the spot, as will:  touching her luggage, asking for an autograph, or using their cell phones.  That’s pretty strict.

Here is an infographic showing  just how crazy Katy Perry’s rules for the road really are:

It’s just that I really do not like shopping at all, especially when there are massive crowds all around.  It’s just too  much for a guy like me to take in.  Alas, now I will have to go into stores with massive crowds unless I can get my shopping quickly done and then create some great gifts too.

That’s right, this guy is going to get crafty.  Literally, I am talking about doing some Christmas crafts here.  I mean anyone can just go to the grocery store pick up a gift card from the numerous places they offer and just hand it over as a gift, but how many guys will give the gift card over in a snow globe?   A snow globe they made, no less.

And who doesn’t love receiving some kind of chocolate dipped cookies for the holidays?  I might even make some of those too.  The infographic below is full of Christmas ideas that only take ten minutes, so it’s perfect for procrastinators like me or those who just want to get into some quick and easy crafts.

Stories of customers pepper spraying others for an XBox, police pepper spraying out of hand customers, and mobs and people acting like complete fools.  It is sad really that this is how people act.  As for me, I stick to shopping online and getting the same or better deals.  Maybe if you cannot behave in public like many of these shoppers, you should do the same thing.  Here are some of the most ridiculous scenes from Black Friday.

This news story tells of a woman who actually uses pepper spray against others to get a video game console.

If you were in need for some bath towels, I hate you missed this sale. Only $1.28 for a towel, and I bet they’ll last forever! Again, ridiculous.
 

Mobs and more chaos. Have you noticed a theme throughout the videos? That’s right, all the same retailer.

I found an infographic about Fantasy Football and how it affects productivity, along with some other stats that I had to share with you guys who play.  I was a little shocked to see that the 10th most popular Fantasy Football team name is “:-).”  I mean, have you no creativity?  No matter the name I guess it’s just important that you are having fun and winning.

The Office – I know, I know, Michael Scott is gone, so where does that leave us?  Well, if you missed out on the season premier, you will see that the whole gang is still up to their typical shenanigans, but now Andy Bernard is their fearless leader.  One of my biggest fears about the show without the Michael Scott character was that there would no longer be any uncomfortable feelings, but James Spader as Robert California has a way of making you feel just as uncomfortable in a different way.

Two and a Half Men – Yes, another show with another character gone.  Charlie Sheen may be gone, but the fact is that Ashton Kutcher might be able to revive the show.  The first episode was just an introduction to Walden Schmidt, Ashton’s character so it was not exactly what I had expected.  Give it a couple more episodes, and I think it will take off.  We will just have to tune in and see.

New Girl – Hipsters unite for this one.  Zooey Deschanel plays Jess, a girl with a broken heart who moves in with three guys.  The simple fact that she is just plain out there makes me laugh.  The ratings for the season premier were pretty high too, but only time will tell if the New Girl will get old real fast.

2 Broke Girls

Seriously, beer is your friend and you should make an effort to give all beer a shot.  Light ales and pilsners to deep lagers, all beer tugs at my taste buds and heart strings.  If you are looking to get your beer fix, then I say, “DO IT!”  Take a quick gander at the infographic that shows where you can find the best beer in America.  I’ve been all over the country to try beers and I can say pretty confidently that the image is fairly accurate, but that’s up to you to decide too.  So, let us know what’s your favorite beer and where can you find it?

There is nothing better than making it a late night at the bar drinking some great tasting brew and filling up on greasy, not good for you foods.  In fact, it is a legal high for me. Most nights I eat fairly healthy, but when I go out to a bar I want some crispy fried deliciousness to feel my need of munchies.  If you are in the mood for some beer and good eats then head to a local dive and grab some of these favorite bar foods.

Fried Pickles.  MMMM… Crispy beer battered pickles with a slight crunch are so fantastic.  Pair them with some homemade ranch or remoulade sauce and you have got yourself a gastronomical treat, my friends.  When choosing a plate of fried pickles, opt  for a light beer to pair with your treat.  The flavor pairing is ideal and your mouth will thank you.

Chicken Wings.  Who does not love a plate full of chicken wings?  I know that I sure do, and it excites me every time I see it on a menu.  The best way to go when ordering up wings is to do it when you have a whole crowd with you so you can get all types of sauces so you aren’t stuck eating just one flavor.  Go for a light to medium pilsner when you order up chicken wings.  Think Yuengling orAmber Bach.

Cheesy Fries.  Add the bacon and chives and you have euphoria.  I love to get a huge plate of cheesy fries early on in the evening so that I can constantly have something tasty to dip and much.  For dipping I like a zesty ranch or sour cream.  So good!  As far as a beer pick for cheesy fries, it’s hard to go wrong, but I tend to stick with a lighter beer most of the time.

Fish and Chips.  Do you see the fried food theme here?  If you missed, then you are not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed.  Fish and chips are a classic bar or pub food.  This is perfect if you are wanting more of a meal.  Drink up a dark beer like Guiness or Bass with this delightful taste bud tingling meal, and don’t forget the malt vinegar!

Michael Jackson

Throughout the entirety of his career, Michael Jackson was never listed on the Forbes Celebrity list.  However, when Jackson passed, he made more money than any celebrity on the annual list, aside from Oprah.  On the top paid dead celebrities list, Jackson took the number one spot, beating out all of the remaining top 13 celebrities’ combined earnings.  Jackson earned $275 million after passing mostly from his holdings in the Sony catalog and the film, “This Is It.”  Once the film was released, fans were re-introduced to his music and more.

Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley is no stranger to the highest paid deceased celebrity list.  He has been on it for quite some time.  Most recently, he earned $60 million.  These earnings come from the admission to Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee and all of his various license and merchandise deals helped to provide those hefty earnings.  Not to mention, the Cirque du Soleil show, Viva Elvis that also launched was a big contributor.

J.R.R. Tolkein

While it has been eight years since the last movie in the “Lord of the Rings” installments, J.R.R. Tolkein’s estate is still reaping the benefits from the films.  In New Zealand they are preparing for the two movie modification of Tolkein’s book, “The Hobbit,” which is sure to help bring in some extra dough for the deceased Tolkein.  Thankfully too, the movies have also boosted the book sales so most recently he earned $50 million.

Charles Schulz

Thanks to the fact that Charles Schulz has a comic strip that is featured in over 2,000 newspapers all over 75 countries.  Even though the Peanuts gang got new owners recently, the Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates will still have a 20% investment in the new company.  He earned a whopping $33 million for his cartoons most recently.

John Lennon

In the most recent earnings for John Lennon’s estate earned $17 million.  The majority of this money came from the re-release of a lot of Lennon’s catalog that ended up in numerous top 10 chart visits.  He is also still gaining for the rock band video game featuring songs from the Beatles and deals that he has with names like Mont Blanc and Cisco. Also, many cable internet bundles tv channels have a “Beatles” station where they only play Beatle’s music.

If you want to add even more excitement to the event, as I ‘m sure you do, then dress up in some old school argyle golf socks with knickers and the whole golf ensemble.  You’ll definitely get some attention and laughs from it all, as well as, have more fun altogether.

So, here’s how it goes:  You need to pick out 18 different pubs to put onto a scorecard.  These 18 pubs in the pub crawl will act as the 18 holes like in a round of golf.  The scorecard that should definitely be made prior to the drinking festivities will not only feature the 18 pubs in the order that you will visit them, but also the drink that is to be partook in at each of the pubs.  A different pub means a different drink.

For the scoring, the players will count how many swallows it takes them to finish the predetermined drink and writing it on the scorecard.  For example, if it takes four swallows, then the score for that hole is four.  Simple enough, right?

Once the pub crawl has come to an end, the player who has the lowest score in total is the winner of the round of pub crawl golf.  To make it even more interesting, the player with the highest score is the loser, and if you so choose must complete a task or suffer somehow for being such a loser.

While golf attire makes it all more fun, golf clubs shouldn’t be taken along on this journey.  Think about it, eighteen drinks and a piece of equipment that could be used as a weapon it just doesn’t mesh, does it?  Also, remember to have a designated driver or a cab service in line to take you home.  Don’t be a fool and drive drunk like a tool.  Lastly, if you and your crew don’t want to do the eighteen holes, then no worries, make it a nine-hole course to crawl!  Have fun!
