This Week in BroLinks - 1/11/2011


Give Bros props when props are due.  BroLinks of the Week courtesy of the Godfathers of Great Blogging...

Guyisms - Time to tuck away the Franzia and Cosmos, and pick up some of Guyisms Top 10 Manliest Alcoholic Drinks.  Not sure I'd make the leap to drink Cow Blood though...

Gawker.TV - If you live, visited, or know anything about upstate New York, or Pennsylvania, you'll know that the shit-dropping "Amish" live in the areas.  Their first language is German, they refuse technology, but don't let their creativity dwindle...  This seems like a good time for me to say fuck you to the Amish, always dropping their horses shit right in front of my driveway.  Are you kiddin' me Bro?

Barstool NY - The write up about this little gadget just about hits the Dick on the head.  I think I'm gonna save my money and leave the goods unlocked and free.

AOL News - I'm a boss at Graffiti Eraser.  Never have enough time to get entwined in the game though...

Asylum - Yep, Agassi's back on the blow.

URLEsque - "Hey! Where did you get those clothes, at the toilet store?", "5'9, I didn't know they stacked shit that high!", "You're just a woman with a small brain, with a brain 1/3 the size of us. It's science."

Barstool Boston - You've gotta be kidding me. Superfat > Fireman Ed

COED Magazine - Chuck Norris Black and Blue Dream packs a kick when you pack your piece.

The BroCave Loses Some Good Bros


Forbes - AOL is sometimes criticized for not having a strategy, but that couldn’t be more unfair. Heck, they’ve got a new one practically every quarter!

The latest involves consolidation of the company’s many content sites into a more manageable configuration. Two, the men’s site Asylum and the women’s site Lemondrop, are disappearing. What used to be Lemondrop will be absorbed into AOL’s other women’s offerings, while Asylum, lacking any other men’s properties with which to integrate, is being shuttered outright. It will cease publishing at the end of the month, according to several insiders, with its staffers being reassigned within AOL.

Despite being named the internet's 18th best blog of 2010 by Regator, Asylum, a predecessor to The BroCave, will be closed by AOL, Asylum's financial backer.  I any of you readers are looking to see some good stuff before the final day of it's existence, January 21, give Asylum a gander.  Writer of the rankings mentions, "despite being a woman, I'll be the first one to swipe the Esquire when it comes in the mail and I cannot get enough of Asylum."  She also goes on to say "Asylum covers sex, booze, pop culture, skateboarding animals, and everything else under the sun in a humorous, engaging way that (shhhhhhh) people of either gender will love."  Asylum will truly be missed,  good luck to the sophisticated writers and their future.  HOWEVER, that means yet another virtual door has opened for The BroCave to step into.  Keep on readin' on, CaveBros.
