| 5 Tolerable Moments of Birthday Boy Matthew McConaughey Posted: 03 Nov 2010 11:10 AM PDT
But since it’s your birthday, we’re not here to make fun. Instead, we salute the 5 best roles of Matthew McConaughey. And yes, they all include him wearing a shirt!
1. Dazed and Confused: David WoodersonHis first role was in the Richard Linklater’s coming-of-age stoner flick, where Matthew played the archetypal sleazeball who hangs around high-schoolers because the thing about freshman girls is…well, you know the rest. This was before Matthew was considered the King of Abs, btw, so he’s just legit creepy. 2. Contact: Palmer JossThis was before Matthew got into rom-coms, when his Southern accent and boyish charm could melt even Jodie Foster’s panties. Cracker Jacks! 3. King of the Hill: Rad ThibodeauxYou know, it somehow helped not seeing Matthew’s face or sans shirt, so we’re putting his cartoon cameo on King of the Hill on this list. Too bad we couldn’t find a clip, but here’s some sample dialogue. Just say it in his weirdly nasal Southern twange in your head for full effect.
4. Tropic Thunder: Rick PeckIn a move away from his blond, bland leading man roles opposite Kate Hudson, Matthew shook up expectations by playing Ben Stiller’s slick but well-meaning agent in Tropic Thunder. All he wants is to get his client a TiVo! 5. Eastbound and Down: Texas ScoutIn literally his best role to date, Matthew McConaughey made the world a better place with his surprise cameo as a gay baseball scout who tells Kenny Powers to “suck his dream’s cock.” (NSFW language, so put up the earphones!)

Because Lily Allen was mean to Justin on Twitter once. Jesus, maybe the Internet really is making things worse. (Buzzfeed) Post from: Crushable |
| Style Guide: All The Ways To Wear Your Boots Posted: 03 Nov 2010 10:21 AM PDT
It’s getting super chilly here on the East Coast (though out west it’s apparently in the 90s – yikes), and we’ve officially put out summer shoes in storage. Which means: time for boots! But how do you to keep your wardrobe interesting when you’re wading through the rain day after day? We’ve looked to the stars for a guide on how to look good in boots.

| Dear College Students: You Have a Lot to Learn About Real World Jobs Posted: 03 Nov 2010 09:38 AM PDT
But while I highly encourage blogging about school news, fashion, how much midterms suck, and dating, there is one arena that you guys need to STFU about. That’s right: stop giving “tips” about how other students should handle their first real-world job if you’re still a student. I don’t care if you had a summer internship, or if you took a year off to work abroad. If you’re still in school full-time and on your parents’ insurance plan, then you do not get to write advice to your peers about what to wear on the first day of their post-collegiate job. This counts double for people writing for college sites but are out of school, yet still talk down to their readers while giving terrible advice. It’s ignorant, a tad condescending, but most of all, just plain wrong. Sorry to make examples out of some of you well-meaning individuals, but here are my 5 “favorite” collegiate posts about life after college. 1. My Campus Chronicles: Oh hey, you’re whole site is owned by Spherion, the “Match.com for job,” so obviously the nuggets of wisdom from your student bloggers is tailored specifically to each individual’s experience and not just some broadly-worded b.s. meant to scare the crap out of the new working class.
Good advice, but does any one need to be told this about a new job? It’s right up there with “Don’t Be Late,” which, wow, is actually your first tip. 2. College Being: Suggests that you should pick your vocation based on where you want to live and how big of conglomerate the company is. Don’t forget to use LinkedIn!
Or you may not…because the job you want isn’t located in Milwaukee or Oklahoma City? But sure, def. pack up your bags and move to a place based on employment rates. 3. CollegeJolt: One of the better articles we’ve read on the meditation between what you want to do and what you’ll probably end up doing in your first job. But again, vague fortune-cookie advice isn’t helpful to anyone.
Also don’t cuss! How about someone give tips on how to advance in the career your working for, instead of telling you how your job should make you feel? Because trust us, your first jobs out of college won’t feel like a “balance.” They’ll probably feel like grunt-work, and reading zen articles about how you’re supposed to feel is just going to make you feel worse.

| Michael Pitt, What Are You Wearing? Posted: 03 Nov 2010 09:12 AM PDT
(This is a brand new feature in which we dissect the outfits of Michael Pitt like an overly enthusiastic sixth-grader would a frog dripping with designer formaldehyde.) Oh, Michael Pitt, what are you wearing? Oh, Michael Pitt, why are you wearing it? This particular outfit emphasizes a hotly debated question in the universe of Michael Pitt scholars: Is Michael Pitt a priest or isn’t Michael Pitt a priest? Evidence that he is a priest: Evidence that he isn’t a priest: Another thing to note about this ensemble is: Either none of it matches or all of it matches so well that it just tricks our eyes into thinking it doesn’t. The boots go with the belt, and the belt goes with the pants. The pants go with the shirt and the shirt goes with the jacket. So: sorcery! The one thing that doesn’t go with anything else is the pen sticking out of Michael’s pocket. This is because either Michael is a priest — in which case he’d be writing with a quill — or he’s an ironic and hip dude, in which case he’d just use his damn smartphone. That leaves the glasses, and at first we thought: let’s leave the glasses, but that wouldn’t be fair to you. We have two theories about the glasses. Maybe it was sunny out and Michael’s eyes have started to go bad after all those hours of poring over Biblical texts by candlelight and he actually needed to wear these prescription lenses. Or perhaps Michael noticed, like we did, how beautifully sea-glass blue his peepers look when tinted by the sepia lenses (we also saw a pic in close-up) — in which case, well, the glasses go with the rosary, so we’re all good here.

| Video: Bikers Dance To Bieber's 'Baby' Posted: 03 Nov 2010 08:32 AM PDT ABC’s American Music Awards seem mostly an excuse to drum up interest in big label musicians, but this video of a bunch of bikers dancing to Justin Bieber’s “Baby” is actually great. Considering that the awards are on November 21 and we’ve yet to see information about the show’s host, it’s hard to get too excited for the actual awards ceremony. But if they pull out more stuff like this, maybe that will change. Post from: Crushable Video: Bikers Dance To Bieber's 'Baby' |
Today, shirtless 12-pack ab-god and naked bongo-player 
I love perusing campus blogs, because believe it or not, you darn kids usually are who we look to as trendsetters and taste-makers. I routinely call up my sister and ask her what’s “in” at her college (and yes, it’s Spirit Hoods), and what her class is talking about. So keep up the good work, you guys! Key demographic!
Khloe Kardashian and I have something awesome in common: we are both obsessed with our Spirit Hoods! While I’ve been using mine for | You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
