Hump This
Buying: Numark iDJ
You're a hopeless Apple-whore. You got an iPod, then a bigger iPod, a Shuffle and now a Nano, but have no way to enjoy to them all at once. Until now: the iDJ lets you mix your i-devices seamlessly, giving you the power to host lonely dance parties or ruin Bar Mitzvahs with your thunderous Baja Men Megamix.
Drinking: PJ Wines Grand Tasting
Snag a ticket to this annual event to drown yourself in 500 wines while over-sampling snacks from around the world. Bring a date, and you'll answer the critical spit-or-swallow question well before drunkenly unveiling your "Trouser Jeroboam".
Gorging:: Pay Your Own Age
With this usually expensive, upscale spot's indefinite promotion, you can order any appetizer, entree and dessert, and pay only your age in dollars ($25 minimum). Now, you can no longer use your finances as an excuse not to take out your neighbor's high school-age daughter.
The Rest: Canstruction
Advancing the fight against hunger, this exhibit of can sculptures is a magical intersection of art, charity, and potted meat product. Highlights include King Kong, a hotdog, and "Pac-Can Man vs. Jell-O Ghost". Afterwards, all the grub is donated to the cause -- except the four cans of Hormel Cocktail Franks you swiped from the back of "Can-uel L. Jackson".
Buying: The Modern Drunkard
Frank Kelly Rich has provided lushes everywhere with an astonishing booze compendium to read while pooping. It covers everything from basic rules ("The only thing that tastes better than free liquor is stolen liquor") to advanced topics, like "The Zen of Drinking Alone" and its logical follow-up, "How to Ace an Intervention".
