Here’s to a safe, prosperous and sex-filled 2008. My New Year’s resolution is to bring this site to the next level… more content, more booze and even more babes. In case you’re massively bored, I’ve compiled the top read posts on LiveManly.com from 2007.

I finally found someone who likes bacon more than I do. The man behind the ultimate bacon sandwich and bacon cereal has added the bacon cheese baconburger to his menu. What’s a bacon cheese baconburger you ask? Simple: grilled ground bacon patties with cheese, bacon and ranch dressing.

A little background: I found myself “looking for a flag” after my beloved Red Sox lost on a game winning home run last year (in hindsight, it wasn’t that important). I literally held my breathe waiting for an official to call the home run back for defensive interference or some kind of personal foul. Unfortunately, baseball doesn’t work that way. A home run is a home run. The game is over. You lost.

Doesn’t work the same way in football. Every play is reviewable. A touchdown may or may not be a touchdown. A fumble may become a “tuck rule”. A flag may be recalled. At any rate, you get the picture. In the NFL, a game is never immediately over. You always look for a yellow or red flag.

What’s my point? I have no idea. I’m just thinking about the difference between baseball and football. Baseball endings are final. Football endings are challengeable. Which is best? Feel free to comment below:

If Leno and Jon Stewart were smart, they’d cross that damn writers picket line, hire some very talented funny people from the online world (like Randall Munroe) and move on. Note: I LOVE XKCD, but it’s typically a bit too geeky for LM, but this one is universally funny.

According to Radar, the previously lost 269-foot vessel belonging to Saddam Hussein is now available for about $34 million. Complete with 14 cabins accommodating 28 passengers, insanely lavish rooms and space for 35 crew members, the boat should garner heavy interest. Considering a Porsche owned by Hitler fetched $12 million last year, I’d expect the price tag for Saddam’s boat to go even higher.

How cool would it be to say you piss in the same place as the former dictator?

Just in time for Christmas, keep your bum friends and kids out of your booze supply with the Liquor Lock from Sporty’s. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had friends over for a game, supplied perfectly drinkable Lite beer and found that they raided the good stuff while I wasn’t looking.

Get 3 for just $40 and you’re well on your way to a boozerific holiday.

Identifying places on a map should be simple. So why do I suck so hard at it? TravelPod’s Traveler IQ Challenge gives you a city, capital or landmark and you need to click on the map as close to that location as possible. You get points for how quickly and how accurately you identify the location. The points are good towards your 4th grade education. Good luck.

Ah Ninjas, is there anything better (besides bacon)? Anyway, happy Ninja Day 2007.

If anyone cares, here’s how we celebrated Ninja Day last year.

Everyone’s favorite drunken Townie is in Baltimore for tonight’s Pats/Ravens game and he takes it to the streets to ask fans some tough questions. My favorite answer to “how do you stop the Patriots”: “hope their plane doesn’t show up”.
