I don’t know if it’s because I’m super-perceptive or what, but I realized that it is colder outside than Tonya Harding during PMS. And the people need coats. And there’s a recession. So the people need sales. Here’s where my genius comes into play: the people need COAT SALES. Question: should it be illegal to be this good?
Macy’s is offering a hefty 50-70% off these men’s coats. Almost 100 coats for all of your hypothermic needs. Booyeah.
Kohl’s is offering 40-50% off men’s coats. Over 100 more coats for your shivering bones. Hollah.
Gap also has a handful of blazers and coats on sale. Most are just ~$10 off, but a chosen few are highly discounted.
If you’re snowed in and cursing the cold, just ignore me when I say – it’s gonna get into the 20′s tomorrow night in Austin! No snow or anything, just 8 long hours of freezing temps. Mom never told me there’d be days like this.
Stay warm, kids. Jim Beam and I have your back.
Cheers!

If my garage and attic mated, it would be one ugly baby. They are both full of mountains of junk, stacked with no particular rhyme or reason. I cursed the day I had to find the leaf blower. I cursed the day I had to find wall paint. I cursed many days. I curse the fact that I’m staring down the barrel of Christmas decorations that are still waiting to be put away…but where? It sucks, but I need to man up and get this junk organized before it causes my hairline to recede.
Sears is running a nice sale for 20% off tool storage over $99 and 20% off all garage storage items that cos
t over $100. If you are in the market, you should absolutely check out the tool storage blowout, also at Sears. This includes the best of the best savings in the tool storage category with savings of up to 70%. Most of the blowout items are rolling toolboxes, but there are some other fun items included which look like they’re aimed to help you get the beer flowing in your garage. (pub table, rolling cooler, the list goes on.)
It’s gonna be painful, but it’s gonna be worth it. And I’m gonna need beer.
Cheers!

It’s back to the grindstone. Probably like a bunch of you, I’m back to my full-time job today for the first time since around December 18th. If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands. Or pour 2 shots of Irish whiskey into your unassuming Starbucks cup. Either way.
So today is all about finding some kind of motivation.
1) I’m out of arms’ reach for my wife to assign honey-do tasks. WahooOOOooo! 2) My cruder jokes will find appreciative ears again. 3) My work monitor is 24″ and still gives me chills.
If that last statement gave you monitor envy, tell your boss and his new budget about the Samsung Touch of Color T240HD 24″ LCD HD Monitor available at Tiger Direct for just $250. It retails at $300 and has respectable specs for the price: 5ms, 1080p, 1920 x 1200, 10000:1 Dynamic, 1000:1 Native, HDMI, DVI. Even more encouraging is the 4.7 star rating after over 170 reviews at Tiger Direct.
If your boss isn’t having it, hook yourself up with 24″ inches of sweet sweet hi-def pixels at home.
Shipping is free.
Cheers!

You know how you’d pick up a $20 bill lying in the middle of the sidewalk (after checking for cameras and fishing line)? It’s instinctive. It’s just the right thing to do. In the same no-brainer club is this Wenger Impulse Notebook Case at a stellar, Best Buy outlet price of just $5.99. The retail price of $35.99 seems very realistic, not hugely inflated or anything. But the sale price is borderline surreal. It fits up to a 15.4″ laptop, it’s rated 5 stars after 4 reviews at Best Buy, it ships for free, and it has the BargainJack stamp of certified awesomeness. What more could a man want? Free shipping? Check and mate.
Or do you have better plans for your six bucks?
- a foot-long Subway sandwich
- 1/4th of a lapdance
- one Sports Illustrated magazine
- a pair of socks
COME ON. Any of those would be lame and fleeting. I have a Wenger laptop backpack that has withstood the unspeakable for over two years. My name is Jack, and I endorse Wenger man bags.
Cheers!

Now that the holiday treats are safely locked at the bottom of our trash dumpster and my New Year’s hangover is just a memory, today marks the first real day of the new year for me. According to the Chinese zodiac, 2010 is the year of the tiger. GRRrrrrRRRRrr. This works really well for me since I need to get back in shape, and Eye of the Tiger is on every workout playlist I’ve made since the Cold War. If you’re also thinking of getting back to your fighting weight, let’s talk basics. You need a decent scale…like one that will tell your body fat percentage (but not out loud). The Whynter Glass Digital Body Fat & Water Scale, at just $46 at Overstock.com, is very affordable for a scale armed with body fat monitoring. It can handle up to 330 lbs of your ampleness. If you’d rather not know your body fat and just 
wanna see your weight accurately, the Sunny Digital Personal Scale (330 lb max) is a clear winner at just $25 at Overstock. Both of these scales have high marks from reviewers.
If you’ll excuse me now, I have a date with an elliptical machine and Metallica.
Cheers!
