Sure, anyone can buy a 40 and a nip of Juan Rico and tie a buzz on, but no one wants to wake up the next morning after that. So for those of us with more income than a bum, here’s your guide to boozing it up on the cheap without sacrificing quality.

I researched 4 main categories of booze (beer/cider, bottled wine/champagne, boxed wine, liquor) and applied several complex mathematical models to determine which one gave you the most booze for your buck:

Dorota Rabczewska a.k.a. Doda Elektroda is the “The World’s Most Beautiful Genius“. The Polish-born beauty has an IQ of 156 (just 4 points shy of Einstein’s estimated 160) and was admitted to MENSA in 2004.

On a side note, could someone please tell Esquire everyone knows their Sexiest Woman Alive 2007 is Charlize Theron! Regardless of IQ, I think Charlize still has a leg up on Doda or maybe not…

If you’re in the market for a new car (or ever will be) check out this video, it could save you a lot of time and money.

Here are the highlights:

• Give yourself at least 2 full weekends
• Sell your used car separately
• Call around to get competitive bids for a final price
• Walk out when the deal changes
• Don’t buy any extras

Commercials like Nike’s “Leave Nothing” epitomize why the NFL is the #1 sport in America. No other sport can match the excitement and team strategy that is American football. My favorite part of the commercial: the fact that Nike didn’t buy the rights to actual NFL footage and had a Patriots’ QB with the #4 being sacked by Shawn Merriman for the Pats and other guys with the #4 trying to tackle Stephen Jackson. Priceless.

Now if Stephen Jackson could step it up a bit and carry my fantasy football team. At least I didn’t draft LT.

TV sucks. Seriously, the shows networks have been trying to cram down our throats for the last 10 years have been absolute crap. Sure, every once in a while a show comes on (Friday Night Lights, Dirt) that sparks my interest, but it typically fizzles by the second season (Dirt). A rare few shows (Entourage, Rescue Me, Vegas) continue to hold my attention through quality writing, a decent cast and gratuitous nudity.

That’s why I was surprised when I watched the pilot episode of Chuck (the show debuts Monday September 24th) and thought to myself, “hey, this isn’t half bad.” Sadly, “isn’t half bad” is about the highest compliment a new show gets out of me due to the overwhelming shitpile known as the network fall lineup.

So for now, Chuck makes it onto my short list (helped by leading hottie Yvonne Strzechowski) along side sports, porn and HBO.

The Braves’ Martin Prado takes bat control to a whole new level against the Mets. I’m still not 100% sure this is real considering it didn’t get that much hype, but I’ve seen a few different video angles that seem legit.

Around the world, normally sane people will attempt to talk like scurvy dogs on September 19th, otherwise known as International Talk Like a Pirate Day. So break out your eye patches and peg legs, down some rum and call your wife a wench on this most holy of pirate days. Arrr.

Some of you may know Aries Spears from MadTV, but I only recently “discovered” him (thanks Fleige). Part comedian, part impersonator, Spears’ renditions of Snoop Dogg, DMX, LL Cool J and JayZ are unreal.

Here’s Spear’s stand up routine. I promise to hold off on linking to freaky musical savants for a little while.

I’m a huge Led Zeppelin fan. I’ve got all their albums, several live cuts and have read Hammer of the Gods at least 3 times. But I was only 2 years old when Zeppelin drumming god, John Bonham died and all hopes of me seeing the band play live went with him to the grave. Maybe.

BBC reports that the band is reuniting for a benefit show on November 26th at the O2 Arena. Obviously sans Bonham (well John at any rate), the living members of the band will play along with Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and Paolo Nutini to remember Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. The BBC also states that you can apply to buy tickets at ahmettribute.com, but the site doesn’t appear to be working right now.

Now I just gotta figure out how to get tickets and trick my wife into letting me go to London for a week.

Just wanted to point out the new (well its been there for a while, but…) “Random Good Stuff” box on the right side of the site. This box is where I highlight cool shit that doesn’t warrant a full post here on Live Manly. Check it out often, because I update it at least once a day. Here are some recent highlights:

>> How to Kill a Hangover: I could have really used this tip this morning!
>> PSA: Crocs aren’t just ugly, they’re dangerous
>> Say Hello To My Little Lamp: Scarface Assault Rifle Light, Everyone’s Little Friend

For those geeks out there, it actually uses Google Reader’s “Shared Items” tool with is totally sweet if your a nerd.
