This is the most poignant photo of a bear reassuring a woman on a bed I have ever seen:

P.S. Take a look around the rest of the site; we’ve added a bunch of cool new features, included a (hopefully) more user-friendly layout on the product pages, as well as new left nav options and a search box. Web 2.0 all up in this place!
P.P.S. I still wanna see your smiling face. Or your sneering face. Whatever suits you. Send me a picture of you in your Ex-Boyfriend tee or hoodie. Be sure to include your mailing address so I can send you a thank you.
Today’s post is a quickie. (Haha, you thought I was talking about something else. Perv!) I’m in the midst of some other behind the scenes work at the Ex-Boyfriend HQ, I’ll have more to unveil later this week. In the meantime, please meet my new monster Rexy, he’s looking for a bite to eat.
Stay tuned, I have bad ass owls coming your way. Plus I have news on Drinkwel and a giveaway planned. Check in later this week for the details
First off, apparently Science got the memo AND the apology: they’ve stepped up and grown liver cells out of skin cells. This is a small but important stepping stone in the pursuit of consequence-free binge drinking. Thanks, Science!
Secondly, as I mentioned the other day, the good folks at Drinkwel have offered to pony up some free samples of their little miracle drug. To that end, I think it would be beneficial (strictly for the purposes of scientific research) to approach this whole thing like an experiment. So based on the number of pills they send, I’ll be dividing up my drinking into three phases comprised of an equal number of days. Phase I will focus on Drinkwel’s efficacy on beer, Phase II on wine, and Phase III on mixed drinks. I briefly contemplated a Phase IV involving all three, but I don’t hate my liver that much.
Here’s where I need your help: to keep the variables to a minimum, I’ll need to select one beer for Phase I; I can’t hop from Miller Light to Blue Moon to Resurrection Ale. I need a constant alcohol by volume percentage. What shall I drink? Same for mixed drinks; I’m leaning toward mojitos or dark & stormy’s, but am always open to suggestions (that don’t involve whiskey, bourbon or scotch—this is supposed to be fun, remember?) Leave your recommendations in the comments!
Although I spend my fair share of time at the gym, I must confess, I never developed a fondness for yoga. My gym has free classes, but I’d sooner lick a bus stop than sit though an hour of lotus pose set to Southeast Asia-style hippie tunes. I don’t want to hug the earth or feel the child’s pose. I just want to listen to some Fugazi and sweat out last night’s boozy indiscretions.
I guess in an effort to get yoga to man up (or nerd up), You Will Not Believe has come up with a “Star Wars” themed yoga system. I’m not duped by this obvious ruse though. Whether it’s “downward facing wookie” or “downward dog”, I’d rather spend my afternoon on the treadmill thanks.
Speaking of boozy indiscretions, $5 Dos Equis yards at Woody’s Rum Bar in Fells Point tonight. I’m there!
It’s time for some new art, and today’s designs are especially exciting because one of them is part of our brand new guest artist program. Remember Melinda? She created this very awesome masterpiece and we’re selling it right here on Ex-Boyfriend!
Those who hang around here regularly know I’m no stranger to poking fun at religion, so Melinda’s fun with nuns was a perfect addition to the offerings around here. I might be featuring other awesome artists in the coming months. This guest artist thing is a new experiment. If you’re an illustrator and you’re interested in working with me, let me know.
I also have new art by yours truly. Check it out (this design is also on tees, hoodies and messengers of course):
Lastly, remember my post about the new boozy dietary supplement Drinkwel? The very awesome founder of Drinkwel has offered to send over a sample so I can report first hand on this scientific miracle. I have a feeling I’m going to have lots of good material for upcoming Thirsty Thursdays.
I’ll let you know where I’m planning to decimate my liver this week in case you care to stalk me around Baltimore and maybe try to steal the clothes off my back.
So, a few of you may remember my apoplectic diatribe from last Tuesday calling out Science for it’s consistent failure to bring about the wondrous future-stuffs we’d been promised from birth. It was pretty intense.
Well, now I’m wondering if maybe I was a little too quick on the trigger. Apparently, Science was tackling something useful to us (and by “us” I mean “me”): a cure for the common hangover.
drinkwel is the first multivitamin specifically formulated for people that drink alcohol. Our 30-ingredient, doctor-formulated multivitamin will help you replenish nutrients, support healthy liver function, and improve the way you’ll feel the next day.*
OK. Now, you may have noticed that little asterisk tacked on to the end there? Well, it refers to the following disclaimer:
This product does not prevent intoxication, alcohol poisoning, alcohol abuse, or utter stupidity. Please drink responsibly. Never drink and drive! Do not consume alcohol if you are not of the legal age to do so, while pregnant or nursing. The statements on the www.drinkwel.com website have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. drinkwel is not intended to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
As with all supplements, consult a physician before taking drinkwel or if you believe you may have a dependency on alcohol. We support responsible drinking and DO NOT support underage drinking, excessive drinking, binge drinking or any unsafe drinking whatsoever.
Legal ass-coverage FTW!
Now, down to the nitty gritty: how much does a scientific miracle cost? $1.33 a day. When using as directed, imbibers are supposed to take THREE Drinkwel pills A DAY. Even on days when they’re not drinking! Add three MORE pills before bed after a night of drinking. Ostensibly, this will keep an elevated level of the nutrients and minerals alcohol leeches out of you in your system at all times, so that after a night of drinking, you’re merely reduced to normal levels of said nutrients and minerals. However, this also equates to an extra six Dixie cups a day of water above and beyond normal H2O intake. And aren’t water and time supposed to be the only weapons we have to combat hangovers? I think that’s what my high school health teacher used to say (thanks, Coach Franklin!)
So I’m smelling a little placebo in the air right now. What do you guys think?
Well, it’s Wednesday, so it’s time for me to share the weirdest thing I found on the internet this week, and boy does this qualify. Japanese artist Hiromi Ozaki has designed a menstruation simulation device, so dudes can understand what periods feel like. Um, thanks?
Ozaki also believes periods will become obsolete one day and future women will want to use this device to learn about periods.
