Six Girls in Men’s Things

August 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Technically, since Sharp is in Russia, we shouldn’t really promote anything from a competing men’s title in the former Soviet Union. But, since we don’t really understand anything that’s written on this page, there’s no way for us to know for sure that Furfur isn’t promoting us sometimes, too. What we do know for sure is that this editorial of women in men’s clothes–a look favoured among men everywhere–is pretty captivating. Women: They even make our shirts look better. For those who are interested, the clothing these models are wearing comes from brands like Norse Projects, New Balance, Wings + Horns and Our Legacy.

Things You Didn’t Know About Amored Trucks

August 29, 2012 By

1- Armored truck officers have the second-highest death rate in security
The first thing you didn’t know about armored trucks is that serving as an officer on one of them — whether behind the wheel or in the back as the hopper — is not the most dangerous job you can find in the field of security. According to PrivateOfficer.com, armored truck officers have the second-highest death rate in the field — a distant second, in fact, to the position of nightclub security guard.

2- Armored trucks can function on deflated tires
Armored trucks, like armored vehicles, aren’t designed to go on the offensive, at least not if they don’t have to. While it’s rumored that President Barack Obama’s Cadillac One has offensive measures built-in, this is only speculation and the same has been said about Air Force One. Most armored trucks and similar vehicles aren’t equipped to fight back, they’re equipped to flee the scene, and in a hurry.

Much of their exterior, plated deep in steel, is also highly angulated to deflect high-powered rifle bullets (windshields are often tilted at a 45 degree angle for this same reason), and a few tire blowouts can’t slow down a good armored truck since plastic liners hug the inside of the tire and provide stability for several miles, until the truck can reach a safe location.

3- When full, some armored trucks weigh over 55,000 pounds
Another thing you didn’t know about armored trucks is just how much some of them can weigh when filled with the right kind of money: coins. In some cases, the gross vehicle weight of an armored truck tops an astonishing 55,000 pounds, over 27 tons, about the same weight as a full-grown-if-slightly-smaller-than-average humpback whale or the U.S. military’s massive CH-47D Chinook cargo helicopter.

4 -The first armored trucks were converted school buses
Brinks is most closely associated with armored, cash-in-transit vehicles, so it’s not surprising to learn that they were first to develop and launch armored trucks, doing so in the early 1920s when they were a Chicago delivery company. As the city’s mobsters began armor-plating their own cars against both one another and the police, Brinks bought a set of retired school buses and began to convert them into armored trucks by applying steel plates to the vehicle’s lower panels and putting bars over the windows. To further enhance security measures, Brinks would put a tail on the truck in the form of a Ford Model T armed to the teeth with machine-gun wielding guards.

5- 9/11 influenced armored truck design
The horrific terrorist attacks of 9/11 influenced the entire nation, and the armored truck industry was no different. In fact, the attacks inspired a number of new additions to the armored truck because those events convinced many in the field that their armored trucks now faced a comparable catastrophe in terms of bombs and fuel tanks. Thus, a pair of features being added to many armored trucks include bomb detectors and the ability to kill the fuel tank remotely. The attacks impacted the industry in one more way: The insecurity they cast across the country led to an explosion of armored-vehicle manufacturers and a huge market for custom-built armored cars for private citizens.

Istanbul

August 24, 2012 By

The final leg of filming for Skyfall (the next James Bond movie) recently wrapped outside the New Mosque (actually over 400 years old) in Istanbul, which gives you an idea of both how good-looking the place is and how hot it’s set to be this year. With its crowded spice markets, ancient architecture, fantastic food and not overrun with tourists most of the year, now is definitely the time to visit “the city that sits on two continents.”

How Not to Dress for Your Murder Retrial

August 23, 2012 By

Dear George Wesley Huguely V,

How’s your summer? Great.

We heard you’re back to court today, and wanted to make a suggestion before you pick out an outfit.

Frankly George, we didn’t think we’d see you for a while. Requesting a retrial? Really? We thought you got off easy: 25 years for the murder of your girlfriend, one year for stealing her computer, and acquittal of the other four other charges. We figured you’d be happy with the verdict, and that a jury might respond harsher to the claim that a 6’2″ All-American lacrosse player on the end of a 14-hour bender was “trying to talk” to his girlfriend after he kicked through her door, and that it was only after a bit of mutual tussling that the conversation “spiraled out of control.”

But back to this week’s appearance. Any idea what you might wear? Last time we saw you in court, you wore a huge blazer, khakis, and an unbuttoned oxford with no tie. We’ve never been tried for murder, George, but even if we were charged with something like speeding and underage possession (like you were in 2007), we’d have put a tie on for the judge. The sleeves of Shaq’s blazer nicely covered your shackles, but still. It’s a trial, not a father-son golf tournament, like the one at Wintergreen Resort, where you got drunk at 10 a.m. on the morning of Yeardley Love’s murder. It’s court, George, not country-club casual.

Where did you get such poor fashion sense? From your Dad? Some connection seems evident. George IV rocked a power doughnut and an odd fleece/sportcoat combination at your trial, and he wined and dined you with some teammates on that fateful night, and we hear he’d helped you line up a job at a plush D.C. real estate firm. Maybe he’ll help you when you get out? We’re guessing you’ll be around 40 and in bad need of a friend (don’t call us). G-IV could be that guy, though last we heard, he was facing foreclosure and three DUI-related charges—and come to think of it, he called in that domestic abuse complaint back in 2008, after you reportedly threatened him aboard the family yacht, then jumped ship before the Palm Beach sheriff arrived. We’ll let you two figure it out.

So our question stands: Would it have killed you to wear a tie? We know you can tie one, from your days at the sex scandal-fraught Landon School and those party photos from UVA. Speaking of the University of Virginia, think they’ll reinstate you? All things considered, the old U of V has been very kind. Rather than expel an athlete, the school let you withdraw, then claimed to know nothing about your legal troubles, like your arrest sophomore season, when, according to police, a cop tased you after you resisted arrest and threatened to kill her.

(That one rang a bell, so we did some digging and sure enough, on the laptop you stole and then hid from police, we found this line in an old post-argument e-mail you’d sent: “I should have killed you.”)

See George, you were an NCAA Division I athlete, and any D-I alum knows that schools monitor everything from who players date to where they like to party. Your school’s now-retired president, John Casteen III, said UVA was unaware of your history, and while we don’t buy that shit for a second, at least Casteen (Class of ’65) understood the kindergarten rules of public relations enough to speak to Yeardley’s murder. Your coach, Dom Starsia, who just signed a new million-dollar contract, never publicly spoke to students or press. He’s now facing charges leveled by Yeardley’s mom, including lying about your criminal record and tolerating numerous documented instances of the same sort violent behavior that ultimately killed another student. (We bet he’ll wear a tie to court.)

Then again, not much the University or you or your lawyers say makes a lot of sense. It took true insolence to stand before Yeardley’s teammates, sister, and mother and plead “not guilty” to the charges: first-degree murder, felony murder, robbery, burglary, grand larceny, and breaking and entering. Or suggest that she died of a heart attack, and if jurors didn’t like that one, that her pillow did the actual killing. There’s also your police statement that you shook Yeardley “a little bit,” that you “never hit her,” and that it was in fact she who hit her head against the wall.

Was it after this tussling that the conversation “spiraled out of control”? When Yeardley’s face got so cut and swollen that her eyes shut, and her brain hemorrhaged, and then she died, because you beat her to death?

Tell us, George. Inquiring minds want to know.

And for god’s sake, put a tie on. Or don’t. We knew from your teammates’ testimony and your thoroughly documented violent history that you were an alcoholic piece of criminal shit.

But somehow, that open collar confirms our other suspicion:

You’re also a douchebag.
