Sure gas is about $4 a gallon, electricity prices are soaring and airlines have gone from nickel and diming us to Twenty- and Fifty-bucking us to bring on luggage.
But there are still bargains to be made in this world for guys looking to have a good time.
And no better bargain can be found than those in the Mecca of Guydom - Las Vegas.

So, our official morning show radio jock Rod Ryan was a big crybaby Monday morning.
OK, so Rod-man didn't actually tear up on the radio, but he was talking about movies that make men cry.
Now, until Rod jabbered about the subject, I thought it unheard of to have guys actually admitting to crying in a movie theater.

Few would know that behind the scenes of For Men Only, sits a group of men we kindly call the Smoke Ring Think Tank. It's a group of guys who gather regularly to smoke cigars, drink good scotch/whiskey, discuss the beauty of women other than our wives and girlfriends, complain how much a pain our wives and girlfriends are, debate politics, talk cars and ponder crucial issues from the perspective of What Would John Wayne Do?

First, my apologies for the lack of updates as of late. And I promise the Kevin Burke interview is on its way.
But, I figured that we needed to bring you all breaking news from the Consumer Electronics Show.

Since the dawn of man, the cave has held a special place for us guys.
It provided shelter from the elements, protection from predators, a canvass for artwork, a place to work on projects, a location to store transportation, a locale to keep fermented beverages cool, a place to store the spoils of the hunt and a gathering spot for men of the community to meet and discuss the issues of the day.

The discussion some weeks back around the Smoke Ring - the official relaxation home of For Men Only - was about guy movies. At a point, the discussion turned to "Convoy," the trucker movie starring Kris Kristofferson.

Houston is a great town for Brushes with Greatness (BWG). For men especially, because the region is popular with so many pro-athletes who make this their off-season home.
We have our share of musical stars that haunt our local watering holes or other manly establishments.

As the saying goes, men are creatures of habit. We prefer to call them consistencies, but in nature, they are habits.
One of our habits is the act of hibernating. Men have two hibernation periods per year.
The first starts with the kickoff of football season and concludes just after the Super Bowl and college Bowl Games just long enough to rest up for the next hibernation period which begins with the tip off in March of the NCAA tournament and ends during the first week of baseball season or the end of the Master Golf Tournament, which ever comes last.

Maybe it was some sort of premonition on my part, but last Friday after I finished up my real work in the pod we control KHOU.com from, I glanced at my TV and saw that "Planet of the Apes" was about to start on the AMC channel.
Now, of all the Man Movies that are required viewing for guys "Planet of the Apes" ranks in the Top 50, some would argue in the Top 20.
