Compared to the Muskoxen, Thomas Edison was a (bitch).

Muskoxen Geoff — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 05:11:35 +0100

Lately there have been several instances where "inventors" have made headlines for things we, the Muskoxen (aka The Muskoxen and Vince the Muskoxen Separatist), conceived of, but never followed through on.

Probably the most prominent instance of this has been this "Fried Beer" thing.

I believe it was Muskoxen Keith who came up with this idea, but we hit an impasse when we were such purists that we wouldn't allow fried beer batter or fried beer bread. Our indecision has cost us w...

Beer and Rot - site launch

Muskoxen Geoff — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 23:55:33 +0100

Hey everyone. Just wanted to announce that I'm finally launching my long-in-the-works cartoon and comics site, Beer and Rot.

Check it out, and let me know what you think if you enjoy it. If you don't like it, go fuck yourself.

Special thanks to the Muskoxen and my lovely wife, Val, for all their help, even though I ignored a good chunk of it and left the long fart in.

KFC's Double Down

Muskoxen Keith — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 05:11:46 +0100

OK, so this *may* be TMI, but your boy is typing this entry from his toilet. Not 10 minutes ago I tried KFC’s Double Down “ breadless sandwich.” I should have known better. Actually I did know better, but in the interest of informing the general public, I forged ahead to bring you this toilet blasting installment.

The Double Down (isn’t this a Blackjack or Poker term? What does it have to do with a chicken sandwich? And on the topic of Po...

One Year Later - Reflections on QFTB1

Muskoxen Brendan — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:00:00 +0100

It's been a little more than a year since the original Quest for the Best 1: Muskoxtoberfest in Spring: Feats of Beer '09, the Brew-tastic Challenge, and in that year, it seems like the more beer I drink, the more I learn about myself. So here's what I've learned over the past year, after my eyes were opened in the original QFTB:

I'm (mostly) a lager drinker. This has the notable exceptions of porters and stouts, which are my favorites, and are actuall...

New Vag

Muskoxen Geoff — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 07:14:19 +0100

Within the next week or two, there's a roughly 50% chance that I will have a daughter. To that end, Val and I were discussing the need for a new word to take the place of vagina.

Basically, vagina is a crappy word. It's not surprise because it is, after all, a medical term. It probably meant "bucket" or something in Latin, and now we're stuck with it. (Author's note: I just looked it up, and it actually means sheath or scabbard in Latin... you know... because it fits on our "swords".....

You need a Handjob!

Muskoxen Keith — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 10:34:23 +0100

Doing some of my Youtubing I ran across this... it's apparently a real product (or at least the website makes it look like you can order them). The "commercial" made me laugh though... enjoy.

McNabb's knee or back or whatever - opening game

Good thing McNabb got up, Vick was going to run down, bash his teeth out and drown him.

What would the Muskoxen do?

Muskoxen Geoff — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 07:31:59 +0100

So, this is more of an inside question, but I say we open it up for discussion.

What would the Muskoxen do in regards to this picture? Should the bird be more prominent, or do we feel that the idea comes across?

Watch this... You're Gonna Love My Nuts!

Muskoxen Keith — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:22:11 +0100

So I was sitting here bored and it occured to me that a couple weekends ago Vince, Shade' and I saw a hilarious commercial for the Slap Chop on MTV in which someone laid a beat down and "remixed" the infomercial. No idea why this just popped into my head, but it did, so I went and found it to share with you guys:

So apparently there are parodies of it, too (not surprisingly):

Shake the weight off....

Muskoxen Keith — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 18:09:43 +0100

The Shake Weight may be the funniest workout aid ever invented. Seriously. The thighmaster has NOTHING on this... watch the video in the following link and you'll understand.
My problem with it is that I see no point in spending then $20 (+ S&H) when you can get the same workout for free and make us (your boys) happy at the same time.... you get a work out and strong upper bodies and in the end we both get happy endings! :)

I Pity The Fool without an infomercial...

Muskoxen Keith — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:33:03 +0100

OK, I'm sure I'm not the only person who's seen this, but it has to be shared. Mr. T has an infomercial for a cooking machine called the FlavorWave Oven. In a shocking turn, he's turned his gold chains in for an apron. You read that right: an apron. On Mr. T. Do you think B.A. Baracus would have ever worn an apron? HELL NO. Unless Hanniball stuck him with a needle to get him on a plane and then put an apron on him... and if they did that I pity t...

Last weekend I had the privilege of trying Beer Ice Cream, and Bacon Ice Cream. Dream no more! These two crown jewels of hypothetical manly desserts actually exist! Ironically, you have to go to notoriously-gay Rehoboth Beach, Delaware to get them (hold your jokes. I was there with my wife. Gay people keep the beach clean).

Anyway, here are the reviews:

For most sports fans, this won't need any explanation, just awe and wonderment. I can't stop watching it.

Starting a new game. I win.

Muskoxen Geoff — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 23:19:14 +0100

I'm proposing a new game for the Muskoxen. I'm calling it the Muskoxen Greatest Distance Blog (MGDB) just for the sake of the tag (we can change that later).

The idea is to see who can blog from the farthest away. As it happens, I'm currently in Denver for Val's grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. Val reminded me that Vince is currently in Hawaii, and could beat me. But, I'm betting that he won't write in from there. Yay me!

Stranger Among Bears

Muskoxen Keith — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:43:13 +0100

I'm sitting here watching a new TV show on Animal Planet called Stranger Among Bears. I'd seen a news story done on this guy several months ago and I guess it's such an unbelievable story that people are clamoring for more. Charlie Vandergaw lives in a remote part of Alaska outside of Anchorage and welcomes bears (both of Black and Grizzly varieties) to his home as family. He names them, talks to them, pets them, smacks them when they nip at him, feeds them out of ...

What Would The Muskoxen Do? - The Digital TV Transition

Muskoxen Brendan — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:00:47 +0100

Dear Muskoxen,

I'm concerned about the switch to digital television coming up. I only get TV over the air, and missed out on the government vouchers for a converter box. What should I do?

Signed,
Nubbins Television

The Muskoxen felt it appropriate to publish this question today, due to the digital TV deadline.

UFC 99: Comeback

Muskoxen Keith — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:49:54 +0100

In my blog post earlier this week I completely omitted the fact that the UFC has a PPV event this Saturday (June 13). The event is in Germany, so the live broadcast is at 3PM ET, with a rebroadcast at 10PM ET.

I'd like to take this time to offer my opinions/predictions of the fight card. Feel free to agree, disagree or bite me.

The full fight card (including fights that may not be televised) can be seen on the UFC's official page, here:

Storm Chasers Get Video From Inside of a Tornado

Check it (but don't expect too much):

[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94qCoLdpRIQ 425x344]

I would have been highly impressed had there been a cow floating around in there, but when you get to the money shot, all you see is a light bouncing around on the top of the car (although it is cool how it lands right back on the top of the truck because of the magnet). I know you can't expect too much because they're actually inside of a tornado, but I think it's reasonable to ...

Muskoxen Keith — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:26:20 +0100

To all of you who don’t already know, the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) is like the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) little brother for all intents and purposes. The WEC caters to fighters smaller in stature, but definitely not lesser in talent. They have world class fighters and great fight cards, and the best part of all is that its fight cards are broadcast for free on the Vs. network (and in HD where available).
