Chick Pic....Kana Tsugihara

Kana Tsugihara. Thats her. She's a Japanese Idol or something that is nothing short of ooolafreakinla. She's a 24 year old model for Sabra Magazine and has pretty perfect el naturals. If you ask me.

You can find tons of other photos, and few vids out there. But don't get your hopes up for the nastiness. She just isn't into that. She's into the bikinis and having pictures taken in front of weird stuff. Such as stoves, couches, office desks and junk.

None the less, she's asian and she's beautiful. Take a look at these hot spots to get your jollies off. Kineda.com and Photo111.com

The Brew World....A Beer Fit For The Pope

No man is too big or too small to enjoy the little things in life. No real man is too righteous to enjoy the things that man has spent thousands of years perfecting. Not even the Pope.

For someone who is said to enjoy beer before wine, Pope Benedict XVI is no different from the next man. So when the UK Archbishop of York, Dr. John Sentamu gave him a gift while visiting for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, he happily accepted. Visit Realbeer.com for more.

It was a bottle of Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale brewed by the Black Sheep Brewery of Masham, England.

It's unusual but it's true. And I suppose that if any brew was appropriate for such a figure of faith, the Holy Grail is that brew. And if you're wondering how you can enjoy a ice cold bottle of church, try visiting the BeerGeek here and check out MPHG among many others.

Although I haven't had the luxury of trying such a blessed beer, BeerGeek.biz describes it as, "Hazy, honey golden hue with aromas of honey and earthy hops."

So with that said I wonder what it would be like to sit down in a nice big comfy Vatican chair and shoot the shat with his holiness over a couple of Holy Grails and some of that authentic Italian pizza.

And don't forget to check out Black Sheep Brewery dot com to see what else they've been brewing up.

Flavorites....Bacon Salt

There is a good amount of comfort in knowing that as a man I am aloud to indulge in my favorite foods and get away without so much as a synapse of guilt. And it is also good to know that there are good people out there that are making it much easier by combining our favorites.

I introduce to you Bacon Salt!

J&D's Bacon Salt™ was created by Justin Esch, Dave Lefkow and Kara Gibson of the Seattle area; when these former technicians had one of those booze induced ideas that we all get from time to time. Except these guys new how to go about getting the job done. Now they're selling thousands of bottles for $4.49 all over the place, including Amazon.com.

As they say, "Why have french fries when you can have bacon french fries."

Not that very many guys care, but J&D's Bacon Salt™ is kosher and vegetarian. It comes in three flavors currently that are original, hickory and peppered bacon. Mmmmmm. They don't have my favorite bacon flavor though, maple bacon. And even though there are plenty of great sounding recipes out there, you can dash this stuff on anything and everything next to ice cream. I'd try it.

Their website at Baconsalt.com has fantastic looking recipes that combine the flavors of delicious bacon with your favorite foods. Check them out here. From bacon mayo to bacon flavored tomato soup. They all sound great.

Man vs. Nature....NBA Outdoors?

Oh how obscure the beauty of the outdoors has become. We find ourselves scurrying home after a long day of whatever it is we do. Only to land our bottoms on the couch to watch our favorite people on television. Well at least the stars are beginning to enjoy the outdoors a tad bit more.

I am talking about professional sports. On the first of January, the National Hockey League played a successful outdoor game in Buffalo, New York. And so others must follow suit. As did the NBA being inspired by such an idea.

It will be more than 35 years since the last outdoor NBA game when the Phoenix Suns take on the Denver Nuggets in the 2008-09 preseason. The last outdoor game was on Sept. 24, 1972, where the Suns beat the Bucks in a preseason game.

That one was in a baseball stadium and this one will be at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden on Oct. 11. Make sure you tune in to TNT for this one. Yahoo! Sports said that if in the unlikely event it is rained out, they will play the next day and maybe again the next year.

"In October, the Suns brought in a basketball floor to test the facility and found it suitable. Depending on ticket sales, Heckmann said an outdoor preseason game could be an annual event."

"The Suns feature megastars Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Shaquille O'Neal. The team picked the Nuggets because of their marquee players, Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony, and because there are direct flights from Denver to Palm Springs. "

So I know I want to see this game. It's just too bad they can't play a couple of regular season games outdoors. And another thing. Make them play in the rain if it ends up that way. Everybody else does, like the NFL. The NHL plays on ice for Pete's sake. Don't tell me in all the hours these ball players have racked up on the court that they haven't played in the rain. Plus, it would make for good TV.

Man Tech....AirPoo!

Here at The Manalyst it is considered a duty to bring those hidden gems of technology that sometimes never quite shine the way they should. Speaking of duty! Here is our latest installment of Man Tech. It's called AirPoo™ and it deserves to be heard.

Flussssshhhhh.

AirPoo™ is special because it combines one of man's most sacred of moments with the comfort and relaxation of a nice mini-vacation. This super-pooper comes fully equipped with docking stations for your ipod and, if you gots one, a Mac Book Air. It has a multi-touch flusher, which has me scratching my head a bit, a built-in surround sound system and a built-in wireless router. Last but most importantly, this mofo has a heated seat installed for our pooping pleasure.

Now, you might be asking one of two things. Why would one need these things for a simple BM? Slap! Or how could this throne of thrones get any better?

Well I think we could improve upon this magnificent piece of porcelain.

Maybe a secret cooled compartment in the back that holds one or two beers for those "just in case I run out of beer while I'm crapping" occasions. Or perhaps a secret cubby hole to hide those personal magazines that can't be left with the popular mechanics issues.

I got it! A cool recycling unit that turns those useless toilet paper rolls into a spare couple of pieces of TP for those "just in case I run out of TP while I'm crapping" situations. And then stores it in a nice little hideaway compartment. Ha!

It's better then using the old finger trick.

Man of the Month....Paul Wirth

It takes a lot of guts to be a minister who expresses themselves outside the iron walls of faith. Well that is just what this month's Man of the Month did. What some might consider an unneeded manifesto that laces his church and his own assessment, I consider the character of a revolutionary man.

He is pastor Paul Wirth and he is our Man of the Month for February, 2008. For stepping out beyond the duties of faith and issuing a 30-day sex challenge for his southwest Florida church and everyone else. Why? To battle the increasing divorce rates he says.

Pastor Wirth says that he wants the married couples only to focus on their marriage and specifies that church goers are no different than others when it comes to improving your marriage.

So it's sex everyday then, and it's not just for those who are attending. There are billboards and even a website, www.30daysexchallenge.com, that take this man's idea to the next level.

And as for the singles out there. Besides the idea not applying, he actually encourages singles to take another challenge. The exact opposite. Try staying abstinent for 30 days. Check out this crazy idea over at CNN.com.

So what do you think? I think it's unbelievable because your ordinary man couldn't make such a statement stick. But when a man of faith steps out of his conventional box and proposes a new way of helping people, especially men, there is something to be said. There is something to be realized maybe?

Mankind 101....Armwrestling Tip #1

As men we thrive on ways to test our manhood and excuses to burn up our testosterone like kindling. So I will personally post ideas and tips on how to improve ourselves in the ways of mankind. We shall all be the alpha male of the pack with a little help.

So here's the situation. You're done watching the monthly pay per view with usual bunch of hard nosed mofos. A twelve pack down and few thousand calories just sitting there waiting to be evaporated. So what do you do. Play yahtzee? No. Arm wrestle. Let's freakin' do it.

But we're not all John Brzenk. Who is probably the best arm wrestler that ever lived if you didn't know. Look him up here, he's a badass. In fact, your average group of guys are a jumble of scrappy skinny punks and plump juicy ogres. Did I just say plump juicy ogres. Ha, oh well. Anyways, heres a tip that could benefit you if you get put up against the one they undeservedly call "Tiny."

It's called a toproll. It is a move that involves leverage rather than strength and is considered what the diehards call an "outside" move. Heres some info from Armwrestling-Supersite.com.

" The key to the toproll is to get high on your opponent's hand. The higher you get, the more leverage you gain on your opponent's arm and the easier he or she is to take down. There are two types of toprolls, but to make things simple, remember two things. 1) Exert maximum backpressure throughout the entire match when performing the toproll. This is important. 2) Try to walk your fingers out on your opponent's hand. Once you have succeeded in walking your fingers out some on your opponent's hand, regrip his hand and then begin to walk your fingers out further until you have enough leverage to take him down."

So practice on the old lady or the kids and take this knowledge with you and don't let go of it. Because we all need to be able to shut down the big talker once in a while and this could be a secret weapon.
