YouTube: Scary Mary
I love horror movies, but this one looks especially creepy. She’s heeeeeere.
And what’s up with Black Christmas? Oh yeah, I forgot. We all want to celebrate by going to a horror movie on Christmas day.
The whole thing is so absurd that I can’t help but laugh throughout the trailer.
Open Forum: Webcomics
There are a few web comics I read religiously. Even when I have many stimulating feeds in my rss aggregator, I always read what makes me laugh first. Here are two of my personal favorites.
How to Wrap a Present
After posting the pictures of beautifully wrapped presents, I realized that perhaps many Urban Monarch readers may not yet be savvy to the fine art of gift wrapping. I grew up in retail where we offered free gift wrapping with any purchase. Needless to say I’ve gotten my practice in.
christmas cocktails
Just in time for Santa’s arrival; three naturally naughty cocktails to warm up those cold winter nights.
Online Book Summaries
We all have very busy lives, and often don’t have the time for things we know are good for us. For example, there are many good books I’d like to read, but there’s no way I can get to all of them.
One solution? Free book summaries at WikiSummaries.
Flickr: Best Wrapped Presents
With Christmas creeping up and along with it my desire for wonderful presents, I’ve collected the best wrapped presents on flickr. Are any of them by chance for me?
Orgasms, generally speaking, aren’t universally classified. Most of the definitions in current pop culture are controversial at best. Even commonly referenced orgasms, such as g-spot, are debated. To make matters even more complicated, often orgasms are named by self titled sexperts selling eBooks and DVDs on the topic.
live like bond
Normally, I do a music feature on Wednesday.
Today however I’d like to share a cool article I found on mi6. It talks about living the James Bond life in just 7 easy steps.
Bond has always been a hero of mine, not because of the action packed danger, but rather because of the girls, gambling and [...]
Emergency Kit for Your Car
What holiday present is surely the way to your loved ones’ hearts? A homemade emergency kit for their car, of course.
Okay, maybe not. But for those of us in climates with occasional extreme weather like lots of snow, it’s smart to have one of these for the car.
Yahoo! Tech has a great bullet-point article on [...]
must have gadgets : 2007
Gadgets. I can’t think of many things a guy loves more.
Men’s Health recently published a list of must have’s for the coming year, featuring everything from sporting goods to tech.
Tis the season to be jolly, and if you’re bored to tears by the ‘traditional’ Christmas get togethers, I suggest throwing a White Trash Christmas party.
It’s the best way yet to celebrate the hee haw holidays!
I’ve experienced a lot of girlfriends laughing heavily at my antics, but rarely do I find myself in the reverse. Next month’s Vanity Fair offers an explanation.
I’m telling you right now: if you want to get any work done for the rest of the day, read no further.
poll: your ideal house
There’s a reason we decided to call ourself “Urban Monarch” rather than “Country Playboy” or “Backwoods Hick”.
We’ve all gravitated towards the downtown lifestyle.
Perhaps it’s the maintenence-free aspect of it. Or the proximity to the bars, culture and vitality of living in the heart of the action.
Whatever the reason, we’re here and I’m curious about [...]

Open Forum: Best Present Ever
I have been blessed with a lot of close friends through out my life from which I’ve received a lot of great, heart felt presents. One that sticks out to me is an unusual gift that I really enjoyed.
Spray On Condom
German sex ed group the Institute for Condom Consultancy are getting to launch a new kind of condom: spray on.
Good God.
Last night fellow alcohol enthusiast Glenn and I went to the Chivas Regal tasting event at the Magnolia Hotel here in Denver.
To say it was spectacular would be a huge understatement for me, so to give you some insight I’ve decided to compare and contrast the experience with that of a Johnnie Walker event [...]
Wetshaving
Shaving is probably top on my list of annoying and frustrating grooming habits. Occassionally I get a smooth shave that feels great, but most of the time I’m getting nicked or irritated skin. Lucky for me, I only have to do it once or twice a week (ahhh, the joys of not having a 9-5 [...]
Flickr: Christmas in the City
I love huge Christmas trees, especially with a metropolitan backdrop. For those readers out there who do too, this week on flickr we’re looking at Christmas trees in cities around the world.
