<p>The quest for world domination can be approached in a variety of different methods. Politicians tend to apply the more economic pressures of tariffing and embargoing, whereas blood thirsty war lords like to approach the goal with weapons stockpiles and warfare threats. A gentleman, on the other hand, knows that to truly dominate the people of the earth, he simply needs to dance into their very souls and set up shop catering to man&#8217;s most innate desires, which seem to be a simple trinity of carnal pleasures, the motivation to nullify the brain through intoxication, and the basic deliciousness of food. In the below case, this gentleman prefers to focus on the latter, and walks through some logic on how he might become supreme ruler of the Earth assisted only with the luxuries of time travel.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: if you could fuck around with a time machine<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: would you go into the future? or into the past?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: (you can only go in one direction)<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: for instance, you could go to the future and just be shocked at all the new technology&#8230; but, you could go into the past and shock everyone else with your own knowledge of technology and shit<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : definitely the past<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : but not too far back where i have to compromise comfort<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : id like to go far enough back where i&#8217;d be the shit with all my gizmos, but not too far back where shit sucks<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : like i dont want to deal with the plague<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: i would def go to the dark ages<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: i&#8217;d &#8220;invent&#8221; things like pizza and donuts<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: become the head chef and confidante of the king and use him as my puppet for power<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: if i went into the future i would be a cave man<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : hahaha<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: wouldn&#8217;t know how to work the telepathy machines<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: it would suck<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : so you would go back in time and invent donuts<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: yeah, just be some super wise wizard, inventing the most delicious shit<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: hell i don&#8217;t think hamburgers were &#8220;invented&#8221; until the 50s<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : invent alcohol<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: i think alcohol has been around since the dinosaurs<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: Neanderthals fermenting hooch in brontosaurus skulls and stuff. So that wouldn&#8217;t work<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : you&#8217;re insane<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : i like how being a chef would make you the most powerful dude in the realm<span id="more-1709"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: it would. can you imagine knowing the secrets of say Butter?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: you&#8217;re the only guy that knows how to make butter<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: you&#8217;d be a ruler<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : uh, i guess so<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: that&#8217;s how fucking Marco Polo was so big. spice trader<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : well, he was also a sea fairing gent. and back then they thought the sea was filled with monsters<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: yeah<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : that gave him slightly more cache<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: yeah he was the man. Importing spices and gunpowder. he was like the most powerful man in the world for a while<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : but you&#8217;d just be fat and in the kitchen making shit<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : not much of a swashbuckler<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: no, i would do all that shit<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: i&#8217;d invent like hot air balloon and do the spice and gun powder trading<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: it would be like magic<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: and remember, back in the day it was considered a sign of wealth to be rotund. a sign of success and wisdom<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: c&#8217;mon, being the only guy around that knows how to make french fries?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: please, you&#8217;d be considered a god<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: fucking &#8220;invent&#8221; the meatball sub<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: be worshipped forever<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : hahaha<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : would you invent pizza or go straight to the pizzone?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : when would you introduce garlic butter dipping sauces?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : you&#8217;d have to stagger it all. allow their palates to adjust<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: blow their minds when we come out with the Taco<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: followed by the Burrito<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: followed by the Chalupa and so on<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : what if your plan backfired and they got suspect of you and labeled you a Food Witch. They&#8217;d burn you at the stake<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: jesus you are right<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : the whole town filled with the delicious fumes of your trans fat loaded gut as it roasted over an open fire<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: they would burn me alive. fucking pitchforks and torches all the way up the path to my estate<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : an angry mob who no longer fear your powers cause they realize it wasnt magic. you just duped them with trans fats<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: i better rethink this fucking shit<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : this is all very reminescent of an episode of ducktails in which Gyro Gearloose goes back in times and becomes the kings favorite subject thanks to his &#8220;inventions&#8221;<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: exactly<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DizzyWizzard</span> : was this whole debate inspired by that?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">OnceandFutureChef</span>: no, but i would love to see that again</p></blockquote>

<p>A gentleman takes his sartorial getup very seriously, often times placing an equal amount of importance on his appearance as he does the business at hand. Indeed, maintaining complete composure is a top priority, and he&#8217;ll allow neither hell nor high water to compromise his fashionable digs regardless of the circumstances.  His pant leg&#8217;s pleat will remain crisp while leading the charge atop his steed in battles, his ascot&#8217;s knot will remain fashionably fastened at high speed while whipping around Monte Carlo in illegal drag races, and his shirt&#8217;s ruffles will  properly aerate his untamed chest hairs while fishing off his yacht in the fiercest of tempests. No amount of sweat or blood or hemorrhoid runoff or premature ejaculation will compromise the gentleman&#8217;s commitment to supreme elegance in appearance, lest he be mistaken for an unsavvy simpleton.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: so<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: i shit my pants this weekend<br />
Sent at 11:35 AM on Monday<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>:  hahaha. what happened?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>: was it sat night during your odyssey of indulgence? (I was living vicariously through your twitter updates while making dinner with Sarah*)<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: Yes<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: Went to Roberta&#8217;s for dinner<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: Decided to get real drunk. gin, of course<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: then some party at The Woods bar<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: beers and shots of whiskey<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: then The Gutter for gin again, and more whiskey<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: then some house party to meet up with Davidson and some other dudes<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: where i grabbed an entire bottle and started drinking out of it<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: i was wasted, dancing around like a maniac headbanging (there is video) &#8211; me and some dude with a peg leg were thrashing<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>: haha why did he have a peg leg?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: who fucking knows. <span id="more-1690"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: anyway, then i smelled something<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: it smelled like a dirty diaper<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: i went to the bathroom<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: i had probably half a cup of shit in my drawers<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: i think i had a broken valve and was too fucked up to notice the leak. the o-ring on my tank must have come loose<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: i scraped my boxers clean as possible<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: then decided it was time to go home<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: it was awful<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: yet im oddly unashamed<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: i flet like George brett<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6403VV2oyu0">George Fucking Brett</a> &#8211; &#8220;WATER. was at this great little steak house Cocomo&#8217;s in Vegas&#8221;&#8230;<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: I&#8217;m good for that once or twice a year<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>:  hahahaha<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>: thats amazing that you didnt even realize you&#8217;d shit yourself until you smelled your own filth<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>: the horror<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>: did you go home and have Alison clean you up?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:  i just stripped down to my boxers and got in the shower and let them rinse out and doused them and myself with all manner of soaps and shampoos<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>:  scents and oils<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:  made alison spray the inside ass of my jeans with febreeze cause they stunk like rotten shit too<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>:  so you are not washing them<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:   well you cant wash raw denim<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:   ruins them<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:   rather have a little turd in there than see a $200 pair of jeans go up in smoke<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:  i mean, these are fucking <a href="http://www.nudiejeans.com/">Nudie Jeans<br />
</a> <span style="color: #0000ff;">J.C.Pennyman</span>:  hahaha jesus christ<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:  wtf am i supposed to do<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:   i let them dry out on alison&#8217;s rack<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">SartorialSir</span>:   and wore them the whole next day to the museum with her parents</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thefoggymonocle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ZachGalifianakis_news.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1683" title="ZachGalifianakis_news" src="http://thefoggymonocle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ZachGalifianakis_news.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>Now the ill informed would argue that once a gentleman becomes a father, his gentleman years—an infinite domino effect of dazzlement, debauchery, and drinking with utter abandon—are behind him. Well, think again, dear reader. Sure, the normally courageous gentleman will run for cover faster than a terrorist in a shit storm at the very mention of child support payments and carpooling schedules; but that doesn&#8217;t mean the gentleman is incapable of being a mentor in a young child&#8217;s life while still fully committing himself to his fabulous lifestyle. A gent is, after all, a multitasker. And so, like an ambidextrous circus clown juggling eight bottles of moonshine and one whining child, the gentleman tackles fatherhood and drinking simultaneously. Care to add a unicycle to his impressive array of staggering feats? Rest assured, the gentleman can handle it!</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: what did you do last night?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: my friend Ken* was in NJ from Atlanta, staying at that new W hotel in hoboken<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: isnt he going thru a divorce?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: they were, but they&#8217;re trying to work things out, counciling, Ken curbing his drinking etc.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: was he by himself?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: no, his wife and baby daughter were with him<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: got it<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: so me and a few friends get there around 8:30 and his wife makes it real clear that they have an early flight in the moring and that he needed to take it easy<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: what time is the flight?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: 8am newark<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: makes sense<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: we all have a few drinks, catch up &#8211; very smooth<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: then its time for the kid to go to bed, we say goodnight to his wife, and Ken escorts her upstairs to tuck her in and, in the process i guess, tells her he&#8217;s coming back down for &#8220;just one last drink&#8221;<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: haha famous last words<span id="more-1682"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: so Ken comes back down with beers from his room&#8217;s mini bar and a fucking baby monitor clipped to his belt like a godamn cell phone<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: HAHAHAHA FUCKIN KEN!<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: and he says he&#8217;s dying to check out the nightclub in the hotel<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: probably not the best move!<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: probably not, so we get in to the place and its chock full of NJ finest, Jersey shore all the way<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: nice, was the situation there?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud:</span> umm we were the situation: drinks, shots, drinks, shots repeat<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: none of us dancing, then all of us dancing<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: hahaha so cheesy&#8230;any fist pumping?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: who knows<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: what time was it?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: had no idea, hours must have elapsed, but figured ken knew his time limit, so we didn&#8217;t think about it<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: we were having a great time until&#8230;<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: uh oh<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: i look over Ken&#8217;s shoulder at the door and in walks the wife in the hotel robe and slippers, she bee lines it for us, grabs Ken by the shoulder and asks him WTF he is doing still up<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: I guess she&#8217;d woken up, seen that it was now 3 AM and Ken was nowhere to be found<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: hahaha, how did she know you were in da club?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud:</span> she woke up to snippets of house music coming through the other end (aka kens end) of the baby monitor followed by our girlish screams<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: he must have been hitting the talk button every time he flapped his arms in his goofy dance<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: hahahaha YIKES! wait they have walky talkies for the baby?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: what?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: the monitor was two-way?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: i guess? who knows&#8230;<br />

<span style="color: #ff0000;">JerzySure</span>: what?!<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Drinkin&#8217;Bud</span>: and his reason is &#8220;don&#8217;t worry about the baby, thats why we have the monitor!&#8221; and he orders everyone a round<br />

<p>A gentleman is always looking for his mirror image in female form; a woman cut from the same silk cloth as he himself: The gentlelady.  But in this day and age of posturing and prudishness, what qualities truly make the gentlelady stand out? Is it her dainty laugh? The size of her dowry? The number of suitors vying for her favor? While there is never a tell tale sign identifying members of this rare breed, you can bet your bottom dollar that if the woman in question eloquently refers to sexual intercourse as &#8220;doing it,&#8221; enjoys blackout-inducing levels of drinking and will only humble herself to hang her head when vomiting into her ex&#8217;s toilet (no doubt the porcelain thrown of a gentleman!), she is, indeed, a lady of the gentlest variety.</p>

<p>The snowy landscape of the gentleman&#8217;s metropolitan wilderness can be rife with peril; thus when traipsing about from watering hole to watering hole in the dark of the evening, a gentleman must be constantly aware of all animals lurking in the shadows, and rely on his superior survival instincts to guide him. By keeping the blood warm with healthy spirits and reckless dance moves, the gentleman is able to stave off frostbite, while his generous spending habits will always keep him out of trouble and into stimulants to stay awake. But perhaps most of all, he must keep his one open eye constantly on the lookout for the sight of the elusive and mythical creature, the most famous of all catches: the Cougar. Staggering as if to purport a wound and wafting the scent of gin and tobacco, the Cougar will hone in on the gentleman and seize the opportunity to execute its famous takedown maneuver. The gentleman will accept the invitation, as is the way of the wild.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: Christmas party last night… I want to die right now<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Pioneerman</span>: hahahah. i am struggling as well<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Pioneerman</span>: i was supposed to pack for my flight home but had 3 jameson/baileys<br />
instead<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: i went home with a 39 year old secretary last night, divorced<br />
with three kids<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">Pioneerman</span>: hahahahah!! please elaborate on your venture last night<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: so christmas party. its at this nice restaurant<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: who cares right?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: but there is an open bar. so I just start housing IPAs, wine, etc&#8230;  must have had ten drinks<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: so I notice this one girl is getting wasted, and I invite her and a bunch of other people to go to the bar<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: we go to the bar, more cocktails. we&#8217;re all dancing, and she is like grinding on everyone<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: after some pensive cogitation i said fuck it and went for it<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: I end up making out with her, and take her back to my place…<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">UrbanFrontiersman</span>: Best quote of the night… when i say wait, lets get a condom she replies “Don’t worry, i’m clean and too old to get pregnant”<br />

Like a flamboyant zen master dastardly stroking his Fu Manchu mustache, a gentleman wills every elegant evening of drinking into existence by first envisioning it in his mind&#8217;s eye. However, remembering said evening—from the very first pinky-raised sip of his very first sensible cocktail to the moment just before he belly flops onto the barroom floor, moaning and bellowing and clawing and generally laying waste to everything in his path like a tranquilized Grizzly Bear—proves a far more difficult task the following day. No matter, we say! Our hero has earned himself the right to blackout and transform into a one-man time machine every now and again, and if the bartender should choose to present buybacks to the gentleman and his colleague like major awards for their supreme regalitude, such beastly behavior can hardly be considered the fault of the gentleman alone.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: what happened?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: i mean WHAT HAPPENED?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: haha i have no clue<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: you black out too?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: yes<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: i am fucking hammered and still in my clothes from last night<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: a shell of a man<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: hahaahahaha<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: all i remember is one minute we&#8217;re casually drinking gin and tonics at the bar<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: pausing from sipping our drinks to nibble on peanuts and to graciously thank the bartender for another generous buyback<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: and the next i&#8217;m back in manhattan and getting berated by my cab driver, who is screaming &#8220;get the fuck out my cab muthafucka!&#8221;<span id="more-1647"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: hahaha holy shit, maybe you told him to turn off the Eagles like Lebowski did<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: impossible, i love the Eagles<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: any idea what you did to piss him off?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: not a clue, and I don&#8217;t even want to fathom what horrible atrocities I committed in the back seat<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: hahahahaha<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: but what scares me more<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: WHAT SCARES ME MOST!<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: is that I left kate a voicemail (this has all been relayed to me this morning) saying what a great time you and I had had, that I was leaving the bar and that it was 10:30pm<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: but she said the voicemail was left at 1:30am<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: what?! we were at the bar for six hours?!<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: chyeah&#8230;and three of those hours are unaccounted for<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: yikes<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: sounds like we generated 1.21 gigawats of drinkitude and time traveled<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: no shit<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: i hope the Libyans arent out to get us for stealing their plutonium<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: hahahaha<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: so are you going to work or what?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: not a fucking a chance<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: i woke up in my bed with no clue where I was<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: mud stains all over my pants (i&#8217;ve deduced that I took a tumble)<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: and dried hummus at the corner of my mouth (which I must have bought from the bodega below my apt last night after getting thrown out of the cab&#8230;I can only imagine the scene I caused in there&#8230;I am NEVER going back)<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: hahaha christ<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: i&#8217;m subhuman right now<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: an animal<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: a beast<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: there is no way I can be within a 2 mile radius of sane, professional people<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: hahahahaha<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: seriously, if i dared venture into the office today they&#8217;d call in the fish and game warden<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: who&#8217;d shoot me on the spot with a tranquilizer gun and ship me to Alaska like a fucking grizzly bear so I could never find my way back to civilization<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: hahahaahaha, no way, i&#8217;d intervene and buy you for my petting zoo<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: thank you<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: you srsly not going to work?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: for realz<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: besides holing up in my 6th floor studio<br />
there are only two thing on today&#8217;s agenda:<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: mcdonalds<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: and pornography<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: mmmm fries and porno<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: wait i thought you didn&#8217;t have internet installed yet?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: fuck you&#8217;re right<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">GrizzlyBear</span>: well, looks like i&#8217;ll be drawing pictures of naked chicks having sex with each other and jerking off to those instead<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">ZooKeeper</span>: hahaha god bless</p></blockquote>

While it is a given fact that one gentleman is always a welcomed addition to any festive gala, the enchantment can only be enriched with a plethora of gentlemen on the scene to help gesticulate the night into order. Indeed, there is no &#8220;I&#8221; in Team, but there are important &#8220;I&#8217;s&#8221; in Inebriation and Intoxication, and gentlemen will often have to work together toward the common good in order to accomplish these critical goals. Working in tandem, the team of gents will astonish onlookers in daring eating feats, will take turns holding the solid gold funnel high for the fellow man, will execute fearless trust falls and will at last help each other piece together the actions of the epic evening for the ever important historical record.</p>

We&#8217;re sure all of you are too. So if you can&#8217;t get enough of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis&#8217; zany, day-after antics, head on over to <a href="http://www.natlhangoverday.com/index.php">National Hangover Day </a>on January 1st to feel a little better about whatever horrible sins you committed the night prior by watching <em>The Hangover</em> online. You can even win a trip to Las Vegas, horray! <strong>Or you can just send us your best day-after-New-Years chat, email or texts and we&#8217;ll award the most gentlemanly submitter with a copy of the DVD. Scout&#8217;s honor.</strong></p>
<p>(Full disclosure: We were paid 60 grand in Gentleman&#8217;s Bucks to post this.)</p>

<p>A gentleman is always in high demand, but no more so than during the holidays, when eggnog-swilling guests anticipate his arrival with the giddiness of snot-nosed children awaiting St. Nick. Never one to deprive others of his dazzling presence (or himself of a delicious open bar), the gentleman makes sure to gallivant with redoubled vigor, attending party upon Christmas party, regardless if he was invited or not. However, such a cheer-spreading spree spreads a gentleman very thin indeed, and sometimes he&#8217;ll have to take a little personal time out of this selfless schedule to get back to his own state of Zen. Which means, when he isn&#8217;t trimming the tree, cooking a goose or installing a nativity scene on his sprawling front lawn, a gentleman can typically be found blacked out at late-night karaoke bars belting out the Holiday hits, hoovering up seasonable stimulants and fraternizing with pants-soiling ruffians (and of course not going to work the following day). Ah the gentleman and his heart-warming antics, ‘tis truly a Christmas miracle!</p>
<p><em>(Happy Holidays, </em><em>Ladies and Gents, </em><em>and consider this one a buy-back for putting up with the lack of updates; we&#8217;ll be back in full swing come January.)</em></p>

<p>Ahh wedding season! Following the gentleman&#8217;s proud display of leadership and courage at the groom&#8217;s bachelor party, where he no doubt distinguishly extinguished the gin supply and made charitable donations to the lovely ecdysiasts, a gentleman will attend the main event with gusto and gallantry. While sashaying to the soft rock jams of the band, boomeranging fawning gentladies around the dance floor and exchanging pleasantries with the bride&#8217;s family members, a gentleman is also keen to avoid putting cigar burn holes in his favorite fox hair cummerbund or spill his 15th vodka soda as he moves quickly and effortlessly through the gala.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: have you decided to quit drinking after your display at the wedding?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: i wasnt aware it was that different from everyone else<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: i dont recall &#8216;everyone else&#8217; fist pumping like they were at a green day concert, jumping around for no reason, high fiving the band, continuously getting turned down to dance by the bride&#8217;s mom, and sweating profusely<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: i guess now that i am sober that does sound stupid<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: dammit<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: yeah it was brutal<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: lord knows i was out of it<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: in that one picture of you i tagged you can see me accosting a 16 year old in the back ground<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: hahaha<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: i just remember dancing for a long time<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: i have never done that before<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: i was sweating my ass off too<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: and that drunk lib julie kept pulling me back every time i needed a break<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: did you french that drunk?<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: uh&#8230;probably<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: i love weddings<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: i took down a fat chick<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent:</span> as well as this one&#8230;<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: http://www.facebook.com/somegentleladie&#8217;sprofile<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: one on the left<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: it says i cant view it<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: wait youre saying 2 chicks hooked up with your unshaven beaten up face?<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: three if you count Sonia<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: she hooked up with me&#8230; the NIGHT after i got hit<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">DanceMan</span>: good god. whos Sonia<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: the one Jameson brought to the wedding hahaha<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span>: God<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">WeddingGent</span> : fucking adulthood is ruining my life</p></blockquote>
