Air Jordan Tools

Why settle for tools restricted by the rules of gravity when you can break the rules with air tools. Sounds like a sci-fi caper to me, or a new endorsement by Michael Jordan. Perhaps. But what I am talking about are tools that are operated by the power of air. Common examples include an air gun and an air vac. Why air tools? Well, they can function in ways other cannot – making getting the job done even easier.

Grow Up II

Pimple cream comes in a wide range of types – from gels to pads, sticks to creams. At the most extreme, how about medication or even surgery? But let's get to the issue here - do any of these things really work? According to Jessica Simpson, a certain brand of treatment worked for her – which makes sense since she’s being paid to say it worked. Personally I think the best solution is either wait it out or a brown paper bag.

Cavemen

It seems these days you can get car insurance anywhere and from anyone – or thing. From cavemen to geckos, every where you look someone has the best car insurance offer for you. And now you can even get your car insurance online. Looks like the days of the car insurance representative are limited – as could it be any easier than getting an online auto insurance quote. Maybe the representative will be the cavemen now??

Who doesn’t like books? Granted, summer is coming to an end – but reading doesn’t have to be limited to summer time on the beach or poolside. In fact, winter seems like a better time to read. It is cold, dark and overall shitty outside – is there really anything better to do than go to your local bookstore, buy some books and hibernate on your couch until the spring sun decides to return?

Stinky Bars

When one thinks of creating a home bar, one usually starts with the bar and bar stool, some nifty beer memorabilia, a refrigerator and shaker and, of course, the cases of beer and shelves of liquor. Then there’s the little things, like coasters, blenders, ice buckets and glasses. But, one of the most important components are bar sinks. Without the sink, your bar will stink.

Grow Up

Acne treatments come in a wide range of types – from crèmes to gels, pads to pills, medication and even surgery. But the real question is which ones work, if any at all? According to Jessica Simpson, a certain brand of treatment worked for her – which makes sense since she’s being paid to say it worked. Personally I think the best acne treatment is to simply grow up.
