10 Tips From Professional “Wing Girl” Marni Kinrys [VIDEOS]

Sometimes the best relationship advice a guy can get comes straight from a woman.  Although a hard pill to swallow, it seems they often know more about us than we do; particularly what men do right and wrong when it comes to dating. Taking into account many of the traits involved in meeting women (ego, standards, confidence, insecurity, and the dreaded pick up lines), professional ‘wing girl’ Marni Kinrys shared her top ten list of critical points guys need to address when playing the field.

But, first, a little background on our Wing Girl: The University of Western Ontario graduate took her Psychology degree and a keen sense of technological potential to create The Wing Girl Method.  If that’s not enough curriculum vitae for ya… how’s this: She was most recently awarded “World’s Best Female Pick-Up Artist” from the World PUA Summit in Hollywood, CA and awarded World’s Best Wing Girl 2010 at the Global Pick Up Conference.

Now, on to the good stuff…

1. R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Stop putting women, you know nothing about, on pedestals. YES they are hot, YES other men may want them but that does not mean that all self-respect gets thrown out the door. Respect yourself first and women will follow!

2. Bad Boys

Women DO NOT like bad boys and players.  Not sure who started this rumor but do you seriously think women sit around and say “Oh Marni, why can’t I meet a jerk who is unreliable, has no direction and plays games .” Women want MAN not a boy. MAN translates to a male that is self assured, calm, cool, collected, comfortable and has the ability to lead.  A genuine, authentic character will trump looks and “bad boy” qualities almost every time.

3. Eight Days a Week

There is never a BAD time to approach a woman. Women want to be approached, as long as it’s by the right person. There are a million and one reasons you can come up with as to why a woman may not be interested in you. She has a boyfriend, you’re too short, not rich enough, she’s “busy” right now, I don’t know what to say…. But you will never know for sure until you approach her. The only way to get what you want is by asking for it. Stop making excuses and APPROACH.

4. Bottoms Up

Get off your butt! How are you going to meet women if you are sitting at home on the couch watching tons of “how to get women” videos. If you’re plan is to seduce the UPS delivery woman then stay put. If not get off your butt at least 1-2 times per week and do something social.

5. I Want You To Want Me

Be direct and state your intentions ALWAYS. So many men say to me “I can’t just go up to her and blatantly tell her I am interested in her”. Why the hell can’t you do that? You think she doesn’t already know? You’re not approaching her because you really want to know her opinion on organic vs. natural.  The ONLY way to get what you want is by asking for it.  Worst that can happen is she says “NO”.

6. Smooth Operator

There is no RIGHT thing to say to a woman. BUT there is a RIGHT WAY to say it. Line up 10 men and have them say the same “successful” pick up line to a woman.  Do you think this woman will be attracted to all 10 men? Not a chance.  She will be attracted the man that said the line the right way. RIGHT WAY = presence, intention and character.

7. Somebody’s Watching Me

Giving you attention does not translate into “I’m Interested”.  Just because a woman gives you 5 minutes of her undivided attention does not mean she is into you. Women are polite and would never say to your face, “sorry, you are not for me”.  They will, however, stand and listen to you for 5 minutes and then find an excuse as to why she has to leave.

8. Jenny I’ve Got Your Number

A phone number does not guarantee success. This one goes hand and hand with the tip above. It’s easier for a woman to hand out her phone number then reject you straight to your face.

9. Let’s Get it On

All women are sexual, sensual creatures waiting to be released.  Truth is women are actually MORE sexual than men. Tap into a woman’s sensual side and she will be yours forever.

10. I Saw the Sign

If a woman is nodding her head, giving you one-word answers and has her body faced away from you, SHE IS NOT INTERESTED.  However, if she is focused, engaged in conversation, touches you slightly and re-applies her lip gloss “GAME ON”.

Time(line) to Get Ill: The History of the Beastie Boys

The most successful, longest running white boy trio of rappers are back to liven up hip-hop music again!  With years in the making, plus a few unforeseen setbacks,  the Beastie Boys’  Hot Sauce Committee Part II (What? No part one?  We’ll get to that shortly) finally hits the streets on May 3rd. In anticipation, we at COED decided to give all the newbie fans and diehard old schoolers alike a short and sweet hip-hop timeline of all things Beastie Boys.  Some things you know… and plenty of little tidbits you probably didn’t.

1979 – 1983

The collective of Adam Yauch (MCA), Michael Diamond (Mike D), John Berry and Kate Schellenbach began as a punk band, eventually releasing the ep Pollywog Stew and, a year later, the hip-hop flavor of Cookie Puss.  It’s been said that Berry came up  with the name “Beastie,” but as often happens in burgeoning bands, members move in separate directions.  Berry left the Beasties thus making an “in” for Adam Horovitz (Ad Rock), who was friends with the band.  A young, but soon to be super producer, Rick Rubin entered the picture and helped refine the  sound and image. In light of this new direction, one that a female member didn’t quite fit, Kate Schellenbach was soon out (later to become a member of Luscious Jackson).

1985

With the release of two ep’s: Rock Hard and She’s On It (single also found on the Krush Groove soundtrack) via Def Jam Records, the trio established a more raucous, solidly rap vibe.  To promote the eclectic and rowdy rappers, management placed them on Madonna’s Like A Virgin Tour. Suffice to say Madonna liked them, but many of her concert-going fans, well, not so much!

1986-1988

The ground-breaking album Licensed to Ill is released and becomes the first rap record to ever hit the top spot on the Billboard charts.  Chock full of references to booze, sex, drugs and rebellion, this record amazed critics (who wished they could, but otherwise couldn’t, find any reason to badmouth the album) and fans alike.  Tracks like “Fight For Your Right,” “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” (featuring Slayer guitarist Kerry King) and “Brass Monkey” guaranteed the Beasties a place in musical history.  The subsequent tour would get the boys in some hot water, as girls dancing in cages and a giant inflatable penis were common adornments on stage. Two known tracks were dropped from Ill, one of which – “The Scenario” – was briefly played and mentioned by Christian Slater’s deejay character in the 1990 film Pump Up the Volume.  The other missing track,  “I’m Down,” sampled The Beatles. The Beasties also appeared in the film Tougher Than Leather – starring RUN-DMC, Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons – performing another unreleased song, “Desperado“.

1989

The Beasties had a falling out with Def Jam over royalties and quickly moved to Capitol Records – where they’ve been ever since. Their second release was the critically lauded Paul’s Boutique. A very different sound, though still laced with illicit overtones – and this time chock full off 70s sampling, such as the first single “Hey Ladies” demonstrates. The Dust Brothers produced a gem that wasn’t commercially appreciated until many years later.  Some would argue this album was, technically and artistically, their finest work.

1994 – 1996

The Beastie Boys are known for never staying in one musical place for too long, and the 90s were packed with three releases, each its own musical journey. The first, Check Your Head, marked the return of the boys playing real instruments, and carried the singles “So Watcha Want” and “Pass the Mic.”  Ill Communication dropped in ’96 and featured the fan favorite single and video for “Sabotage” plus percussion throughout by Cypress Hill’s Eric Bobo.  Both records were steeped in funk, rock and punk influences, paired with the Beastie’s token use of obscure and interesting sampling. Not just in a musical sense, but also socially and individually. The boys had certainly matured from wild and raunchy  to quite the charitable and socially active.

1997 – 2000

The Beastie Boys released Hello Nasty, and this album merged the best of old and new school Beastie Boys together.  Popular singles such as “Intergalactic” and “Body Movin’” were interspersed with all-instrumental, sometimes ethereal-sounding, jams. The group’s first “best of”album arrived in 1999 – Anthology: The Sounds of Science.  The two disc set culled hits and obscurities from every album up to that date.  A year later, while on a tour with fellow musical activists Rage Against the Machine, Mike D suffered a bizarre bicycling accident, bad enough to put the group’s remaining tour dates down for the count.

2003 – 2009

Not ones to mince words regarding political and social issues, the Beasties released a free download of “In a World Gone Mad” to protest the Iraq war in ’03.  The next summer, the group unleashed their first self-produced album – To the 5 Boroughs – which went to #1.  In 2007, they released an all instrumental album, The Mix Up, which earned a Grammy. For the 20th anniversary of Paul’s Boutique, the band remastered not only that seminal record, but also Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty in 2009.  Each was repackaged – on disc and vinyl – with loads of rarities, remixes and live tracks. The planned 2009 release of The Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 suffered a setback when Adam Yauch (MCA) was diagnosed with a form of cancer.

2011

Thankfully, MCA was treated and good to go, but during the interim, other oddities akin to the business end of music made the Beasties decide to forgo Part 1 and instead drop The Hot Sauce Committee Part 2.  Arriving on May 3rd, the album features most of the content originally slated for Part 1, and then some. Two notable guests artists are featured on the album; Nas and Santigold. In an even more star-studded move, a comical, celebrity-filled trailer – titled “Fight For Your Right Revisited” – was posted on the Beastie’s website as a warm up for a 30 minute music video for the track “Make Some Noise.”

The Real Story of 420 From Five in the Know

420 is a beautiful number.  It’s a time, it’s a date and more importantly a lifestyle. You know the digits, but did you ever wonder how the 420 became the representative number of stoners and weed sympathizers anyway? What’s behind this numerical symbol? Well, the theories and conjecture are far from scientific fact. It would seem nobody knows for sure. But like all mysteries… someone knows the truth, but they aren’t talking, they are deceased, or they simply forgot… which often happens when toking a little too much super chronic.

So instead of racking our own brains to decipher the DaVinci Code of pot culture, COED sought out some ‘in the know’ counterculture figures for their insight into the high life of 420. This generous panel of 5 experts has been harvested from the music, activism, and cultivation worlds, and all have agreed to tell COED what 420 means, from personal, historical, or professional perspectives.

Ed "NJ Weedman" Forchion

NJ Weedman

Ed Forchion never intended to become a counterculture hero, but destiny led him to jail time. Jail time led him to learn the American drug policy from top to bottom. This knowledge turned him into a marijuana activist. He ran for office, sparked a phatty – more than once – in public places, fought for reform in New Jersey, and eventually sought asylum in California, where he turned capitalist. NJ Weedman is now the proud proprietor of the Liberty Bell Temple medical marijuana dispensary in Hollywood.

“420 started as a California slang term in reference to “marijuana use” it has evolved into a national counterculture holiday April 20 , where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis. 420 now stands for legalization. I believe the example California is showing the rest of the country is invaluable. I believe California will independently legalize marijuana before any other state does it. When it does, it will force other states to deal with the reality that marijuana legalization won’t end society.” – Ed “NJ Weedman” Forchion

Kottonmouth Kings

Kottonmouth Kings

They are dubbed a “rip-hop” band for their mix of punk and rap musical flavors. While the group fired up their first musical joint on a major league record label, KMK eventually went the route of self-rule and fully engaged in their own independent label and marketing strategies. Weed appreciation and extreme sports are the two primary tools of the business model. The members don’t just talk the talk when it comes to smoke… they actually believe in and live it. Newest member The Dirtball and founding member Daddy X offer their take on 420.

“420 to me, holds not only the original “time to blaze” meaning, but also a significant time of day and day of year, when like-minds converge. If you think about how widespread and momentous that number has become, it sheds light on how many people can come together for common goals, at one time. Whether it be for relaxation, or to exercise freedom of choice, 420 has become and is becoming more and more powerful with every session. Let’s utilize it!!!” – The Dirtball

“420 is the universal code to fire it up! It represents the peoples’ will to free choice free thought and free action. 420 celebrates god’s gift and unifying powers!! And more than anything it means it time to get high!! 420 is also extra special this year because KMK is releasing Long Live the Kings on 420 2010!” - Brad “Daddy” X

Devin the Dude

Devin the Dude

Houston rapper Devin Copeland has been blowing smoke rings around the underground music scene since the late 90′s, and on the 20th of April, he releases the aptly titled Suite 420 album. The Dude, as he’s better known, likes the green buds and the lyrical content often serves to reinforce the concept. Even though his music can bump while delivering a laid back vibe, Devin the Dude doesn’t believe in subtlety when speaking out about the subject of 420.

“To me 420 is or should be a yearly if not a daily celebration of an herb that bridges the gaps between race, color, religion, social status, and political stance. A day of appreciation for a gift that grows naturally to heal and uplift. A holiday that’s full of joy, laughter, and plenty weed for all to enjoy!” - Devin the Dude

Ministry of Cannabis

Guilio Sequi

Located in the Netherlands, The Ministry of Cannabis isn’t a religious cult worshiping an almighty botanical god. Rather the establishment is one of the premier places for development of new marijuana strains. These people live and breath (pun intended) marijuana; the science, effects, and usefulness in all its glory. As director of the Ministry, Giulio oversees the many facets of operation of a cannabis business venture. Yet much of what he knows regarding the 420 myth all comes from the States.

“In Europe we are not familiar with 420 concept. However I worked for more than 10 years in the industry and I participated to many cannabis cups. I have met a number of Americans clients and I have many friends between American expat breeders so they introduced me to this concept. The funny part is, nobody know where it comes from, but all the smokers know it and observe it.” – Guilio, Ministry of Cannabis

Dr. Ingleweed & friend in the Garden of Weeden

Dr. Ingleweed

Based in the South Bay area of California, the All American Health and Healing Cooperative was created in 2005 by expert grower, Dr. Ingleweed. The good “doctor” began honing his botanical skills back in 1994 while attending college, and now he has a mastery of green budding — which can be witnessed first hand in his Garden of Weeden. Ingleweed has every intention of making quite a celebration out of April 20th, and his views on the myth are drawn from historical and personal insight:

“Research states that 420 originated from the Waldos. A group of teenagers who hung out by the wall in Rafael, CA who met after school daily at 4:20 pm to smoke marijuana. 4/20 is a day to celebrate and consume marijuana. Although 4/20 is not associated with medical marijuana, 420 is associated with smoking cannabis. I must say I am thankful for this day. For me personally, 4-20 is an annual holiday for marijuana smokers around the globe. This day represents a time of unity, peace and the cannabis. Our 4-20-2010 party will be an event to remember.” – Dr. Ingleweed

Everlast Moves Back Into the House of Pain [INTERVIEW]

You may know him as Whitey Ford, Mr. White, or Erik Schrody, but his most famous alter ego is of course – Everlast.  Starting his career in the late 80s, the Ice-T protegé soon trekked through two decades doing everything from fronting House of Pain to acting to winning a Grammy with Santana to joining La Coka Nostra.

Well, the inked up Irish American badass is back again, hooking up with fellow Painer Danny Boy O’Connor for a twenty-year reunion tour.  While in the studio putting the finishing touches on his forthcoming solo album, Everlast took a moment to give COED his thoughts on his past, present, and future.

House of Pain in the early 90's

EVERLAST ON: 20 Years of Pain

“Twenty years, that’s the crazy part. We were doing this project, La Coka Nostra, with a few other guys, me, DJ Lethal, Danny, Ill Bill and another cat named Slaine. It was a straight hip-hop project and we were touring on and off over the last two years, so in that time, usually around St. Paddy’s Day, we would do a House of Pain show.  We did one, then a couple, then a whole week of shows like that with a DJ.”

EVERLAST ON: Reuniting for a Full Tour

“Then an opportunity came up to do this show out here in California.  We had been doing the hip-hop thing with a deejay for a while, about three years, and I said I’d do the House of Pain thing, but I want to do it with my band. So, we did a show with the band and it was a lot of fun. It’s not like you decide you’re going to tour. People have to be interested in it. So after that, a bunch of people started calling about us doing shows and my manager ran it by me. I had a lot of fun doing the show with the band, so I said if we can work it out – I think I want to do it.  After a while you have to challenge yourself, so we’re recreating it live. I’ve had a lot of fun with deejays, but there is an added element of life with a live band. There’s so much more dynamic with a band. You can do more things on the fly and make it more interesting.”

EVERLAST ON: Acting

“Yeah, but I’d be a lot more picky. Back then it was like, ‘some movie wants me? Cool! Gonna give me a big check? Really cool!’ I mean, I had fun doing them but I also know that Slaine has a serious talent for acting and me – maybe do something close to myself but you wouldn’t catch me going out of my comfort zone as far as acting goes because I don’t think it would come off good. It’s not my forte.”

EVERLAST ON: The Return of Whitey Ford

“I’m in the studio right now and I have like four days left to finish my next solo record before the tour starts. It’s basically done. I call it my Whitey Ford style ya know, I mix a blend of hip-hop, country and rock. I call it B-Boy country hip-hop blues. We will probably put out a song or radio single sometime in the summer, but I have not titled the album yet.”

La Coka Nostra: Slaine, Ill Bill, Danny Boy, Everlast

EVERLAST ON: The Future

“We have full intentions of sitting down before the end of the year and working out something with Coka, figure out what we’re going to do. Ill Bill did a thing with Muggs and he has an album coming with Vinnie Paz.  Slaine’s doing movies and has his solo album. I’ve got a solo album, but we definitely want to do some music again together. Me and Lethal and Danny are talking about maybe doing one more House of Pain record. It all depends on how good it comes out, whether people will see it or not. If I enjoy it – it think other people will because I’m so picky.”

He Who Breaks the Law Tour begins on March 15 and runs through April 15.  House of Pain will be supported by guest artists Big B, The Dirtball and Sozay.

House of Pain – “Jump Around”

Whitey Ford / Everlast – “What’s It Like”

Saigon Tells Us The Greatest Story Never Told [INTERVIEW]

The journey from real-life street thug – with six years in the slammer  – to reel-life rap gangsta – on HBO’s Entourage – was a learning experience, not a glamorous fairy tale for the artist known as Saigon.  His talent for hip-hop later  garnered attention from Atlantic Records, plus helped land him a recurring role on the hit HBO series.  But a disinterest in making pop records and a controversial physical altercation with another well-known rapper would eventually grind the release of his touted debut full length record to a complete halt.

After several years of dead air with the label, Saigon managed the unthinkable… getting the record label to give him the masters.  The Greatest Story Never Told is both the title of his new album and, as he see’s it, sort of a mantra or reflection of how things really are.  After years in waiting, the album released on February 15th on the notably eclectic independent label Suburban Noize, and includes guest appearances from Jay-Z, Faith Evans and production by Just Blaze.  Gone are the days of being a stick up kid, and he doesn’t have time to dwell on past rapper scraps or label battles.  There’s a lot on Saigon’s plate, and he’s here to tell COED all about it.

SAIGON ON: Glory In Lyrical Thuggery

“There is nothing there to glorify. Prison and street life I come from are a down time in my life and I’m not going to be fake about it. The artists out there who really lived it know there’s nothing to glorify, so when you hear a guy talking all about crime life and being a criminal – you know it’s fake. Anybody who really comes from that life will distance themselves from that life.  You know, my mixtapes were one thing, but this album was going to be a real offering of positive undertones. You can play it for anybody and they’ll get something out of it.”

SAIGON ON: Staying Out Of Trouble

“It’s a struggle.  That’s partially why I named myself Saigon. It’s like I’m tugged both ways and sometimes I just want to say “f*ck this sh*t” because I know how to do it the other way. It’s not a good way, but I know how to do it. But then once you have a conscience, certain realities come in. I’m not going to go sell cocaine or heroin and have my kid taken away. My conscience won’t let me do it. There was a time when music wasn’t paying the bills and I wanted to go hit somebody in the head with a pistol, but then I’m like “no” I’m not going to harm somebody just because I’m down on my luck. I just go work harder, but it is a constant struggle, man.”

SAIGON ON: The nickname “Yardfather”

“The Yardfather” is a name given to me as a joke. I used to rap in prison all the time, battling for hours and hours. One day I was rapping in the yard and somebody said it’s Saigon rapping in the yard like the Godfather, and another dude said its “The Yardfather.” I just ran with it from there.”

SAIGON ON: Entourage

“One of the producers knew a friend of mine and I went in for auditions because Mark Wahlberg wanted a rapper on the show. I actually asked them if I could use my real name and they were cool with it.  Yeah, I played a rapper from LA, a West Coast version of me. It was more like music for me though, because I was rapping on the show, getting to perform that way in the episodes.  I’m sure it would be a lot different if I played a doctor or something.”

SAIGON ON: Musical Independence

“Suburban Noize Records artists, they stay on the road and they’re going to introduce me to a new fanbase. They have fans that would buy the record just because it’s on Suburban Noize. That label itself has its own fanbase and that’s exciting.  They saw my vision and said they understood what I wanted to do and that was the first time I ever heard that (from a label).”

SAIGON ON: The Greatest Story

“With all that’s going on in hip-hop today, I’m telling the other side of the story – reality. We live in a time where hip-hop now doesn’t reflect society. Not the real society. It used to be a reflection of what’s going on in our communities, but now it’s like the exact opposite. Hip-hop is like a cartoon. We understood that cartoons were fake, but hip-hop today tries to make us believe this imagery and lifestyle are real. They’re pushing this sh*t on the kids like this is what it’s like to be cool and this is the lifestyle you need to live. Sh*t is not real. Remember when people debated whether pro wrestling was real or not, and then they came out and said it’s fake.  Hip-hop people just haven’t come out yet to say this sh*t is fake, or this is not my image, this is not me, I’m not crime boss Giovanni, I’m really Larry Brown from up the street! We’re in one of the worst economic times all over, but you look at these guys and you’d think hip-hoppers had money in abundance! The imagery is just so negative. I feel I’m bringing an alternative.”

5 Things You Didn’t Know About The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre

Candy, cards, jewelry… all the material goods (and cash you’ll be dropping)  for this very special – commercial holiday!  Hell, maybe you’re stuck alone… again this year… cringing at all the lovebirds you’ll see out and about.  Either way, you have it good compared to what seven residents of the Windy City had to endure in 1929.  In response to all the lovey-dovey overkill levied upon you all on this February 14th, COED gives you a special Valentine – a horrific heart-day list.  So, go amaze your equally lonely friends, or simply stun your special someone with a real conversation killer thanks to these 5 things you didn’t know about the infamous and most publicized gangster hit in American history  - the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre!

Al Capone was and always will be forever accused of plotting the St. Valentines Day Massacre of 1929.  But, Scarface was never directly linked. In fact, this incident and negative publicity didn’t just infuriate Chicago’s public, but it really pissed of Capone’s fellow commission bosses – not the least of which being New York’s Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky. Alphonse Capone’s eventual jail time was a result of tax evasion – not murder, bootlegging nor racketeering. Plus, his death did not happen while incarcerated in Alcatraz, but rather while retired in Florida – theorized that years of improperly treated syphilis symptoms was the ultimate culprit. Yet, since that fateful day in 1929, Capone has been the subject of numerous books, movies and other pop culture paraphernalia, thus propelling him into history as an American icon of sorts.

The seven men executed in the garage that day all apparently thought it was a police raid, as some of the gunmen were indeed disguised as cops.  The men were lined up facing the wall and immediately delivered a brutal Valentine’s card in the form of sprayed bullets from the infamous Thompson Machine guns. The scene was gruesome, leaving one victim alive – albeit briefly – who never mentioned  the assailant’s identities.

The intended target was Bugs Moran, a longtime competitor of Capone’s business. Fellow bootlegger Moran is said to have been late for the warehouse meeting and when he came around the corner… saw the gunmen enter the building, so he swiftly took off before being noticed.

Moran once told the press that “Capone is a lowlife.” He was also disgusted that Capone engaged in prostitution. Believing himself a better Catholic than Capone, Moran refused to run brothels.

He also came close to killing Capone on two occasions. Jeez, chill out, Bugs and bone an escort.

There was only one witness to the murders – a German Shepherd named Highball.

Left unharmed, the canine never talked to cops either after his owner and companions were gunned down.

Though he survived the incident unscathed, some say his spirit still hangs around the sinister scene and you can still hear ghostly howls.

Only one man was ever charged in connection with the massacre – gangster Jack McGurn.  He, however, had a sultry blond alibi by the name of Louise Rolfe and was never brought to trial. Incidently, McGurn was an avid bowler and would eventually be filled with lead while hitting the lanes – ball in hand – literally!

The iArm is the world’s ultimate forearm mount that gives you, well, an extra arm. It attaches to tablet PCs, eReaders, cell phones, dinnerware and more. Just 4.5 lbs. and fully adjustable, the iArm lets you take your favorite gadget with you, and with the optional “multi-mount,” you can secure up to three items at once.

For The Vegetarian:

Unicorn Meat

Each can of Canned Unicorn Meat contains a torso, four legs, and the head, complete with the magical horn still attached. The original release of Canned Unicorn Meat prompted a 12 page cease-and-desist letter from the National Pork Board.

Heads up to anyone who thinks gullible isn’t in the dictionary, this meat is not approved by any government entity and is definitely not recommended for actual ingestion.

For The Hard Of Hearing:

The TannenBomb Holiday Ornament

The TannenBomb is an attractive Christmas tree ornament that when placed on the tree, will chime off one of several sounds every 30 minutes or so: a beep, chirping crickets, a high frequency noise or an elf giggle. The noise is enough to drive the receiver of this “gift” crazy as they desperately look for the source of chaos, but the sound is short enough to make it impossible to locate and the interval is random. There is no on/off switch on the TannenBomb. The weight of the ornament activates the device when hung on the tree. Batteries are included which will power the TannenBomb’s mayhem for about a month.

Runner Runner’s Reasons Why You’re NOT Too Cool For School

Finals suck. They suck so much you question why the f*ck you even decided to go to college. All the reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic can drive a young scholar insane. You pull all nighters, hopped up on adderall and Four Loko, hoping that you’ll just pass the f’n course so you don’t have to see that creepy TA again. The stress is enough to make you drop out. Well, don’t. Runner Runner guitarist Nick Bailey jotted down his ten most important  reasons for going to college in the first place. Trust us, work blows. Milk school for all its worth, baby.

Girls!

Meeting girls is one of the best parts of college. Just try not to get too distracted. Especially by the T&A on the hot TA. Hot chicks get turned on by ignoring or neglecting them.

Academic Variety

High school can get old, but college has so many different classes offered, you got a better chance of finding something you actually enjoy doing.

Parties

The parties at college are a whole new level…go to some with friends or have one, you will see what i mean

Friends

Be nice to everyone. You might might a friend for life today!

Greek Life

Whether Frats and Sororities are for you or not for you, there are still some really cool people involved in greek life and they can do some really cool fundraisers and events. Even if you don’t pledge, you can still check out a good party!

Independence

It’s nice to get out of the house and be on your own for a first. Very liberating experience…

Sports

College sports games can be really fun! Depending on the school, chances are the basketball, football, baseball or swim team is good and sports events with friends and family is always fun!

Food Court

Lots of schools have some great choices for food, from gourmet to Chick Fil A! This definitely beats out the public school cafeteria i was used to!

Spring Break

The breaks on the college schedule are pretty sweet! Fall Break, Winter Break and the summer off…not to many jobs are cool like that! Enjoy it!

School Spirit

Wear your colors, support the teams, support the school. Its only a few years of your life so enjoy it to the fullest and chances are that college T shirt will stay in your closet for life!

Their self-titled album will is AVAILABLE NOW!

COED Interview with a Hollywood Badass

He’s not a household name just yet, but those in tune with the underground music scene know this Boston b-boy well.  Having survived a few rough spots of substance abuse  and career uncertainties, this rapper and up n’ coming actor now buzzes with positive opportunity as, among other things, one-fifth of the re-formed House of Pain cartel La Coka Nostra, one-third of Special Teamz, a two-time  Ben Affleck go-to guy when a criminal role is needed in a movie, and this fall as a solo emcee with a debut full-length record about to drop.

George Carroll, better known as Slaine, talks playing a scene-stealing dope slinger Bubba Rogowski in Gone Baby Gone,  bank robber Gloansy in  The Town, dark days for inspiring good hip-hop, rapping with some of the game’s most iconic veterans, and drinking in Boston’s best watering holes.

Here’s the first leak off the album called Aspektz & Kenny Powers – Going Down.

Hot on the heels of the show’s second season opener, Aspektz’ 7th Inning Stretch streets on October 3rd.

A Freshman Newb’s Guide To Smoking Weed

Relatively cheap, easily accessible and arguably the ‘mildest’ form of extracurricular (and illicit) activities, weed will most likely be at the party you’re attending. So, what now, Fresh Meat?  You didn’t live in a box or a bubble prior to college, but your experience with the herb is little to none.   Let COED be your pusher man – er, I mean – “guide” for a Freshman’s first time toking!

Items you may see

You’re gonna see some shit you wouldn’t ordinarily associate with partying or with weed (due to your lack of experience). If it’s about to go down in a dorm room,  experienced smokers will have duct tape, damp towels, strange glass and/or plastic devices, small fans and exotic oils or incense sticks.  Fear not. Those are all part of the plan. That bedazzled double dildo? Yeah, that has NOTHING to do with weed. In that case, BAIL.

Partaking in the Action

Try to avoid being first up to bat. Observe carefully and go easy with the first hit or toke. Inhale slowly, smoothly and lightly.  If called out by the others, use one of these gems, “Baby steps, my man” “Slow and steady wins the race” or “I wanna be able to hook up at the end of the night, can’t get too blazed.”

Reactions and feelings

Everyone reacts differently.  Don’t be worried if you don’t feel what the person next to you does. In some cases, your chest feels like it’s on fire, and you’ll cough (NOTE: if you’re REALLY on fire, stop, drop, and roll). Even hardcore stoners cough once in a while.  You may lose some feeling in your legs.  Best to have a seat nearby for quick access.  Once the THC takes hold of your brain circuitry… expect a rapid heartbeat, tingling and possibly hazy vision.  If your heart really starts moving– you hit too hard and way too fast – that’s your sign to stop.  Go into the experience with an open mind and enjoy the side effects potentially leading to hunger (burgers!), dry-mouth (Slushees!) and of course – Euphoria (blow-jay?).

Option to decline

You have the right to take a rain check and you can do so without looking like a nerd.  Simply wave your hand ‘no thanks’ and smile slyly as if you’ve done it before but not in the mood for it right now.  If you have to reply, go straight to the “Taking it easy tonight.”  Even hardcore smokers and marijuana activists acknowledge that weed isn’t for everyone and should be a personal choice!

Other tips

• Avoid the very strong stuff your first time around.

• Avoid the energy drinks and coffee; these are stimulants and marijuana is a depressant.  Not a good mix. Same goes for mixing weed with another depressant like alcohol. If you must drink, stick to beer.

• Have snacks close by.  It’s no myth – weed brings on the munchies.
