  • Bill Murray Achieves Maximum Cool With PBR Pants

    Every single person on this planet (and others) knows it’s impossible for Bill Murray to become more charming and appealing. As soon as he shyly and wryly (an impossible countenance to achieve for everyone but Bill Murray) stares into the camera in [Insert any Bill Murray film here], that is the end. Maximum likability, marketability, and upward-mobility acquired! Go forth and enjoy your perfection, Bill Murray! All others shall defer to your brilliance!

    But on Thursday, Bill Murray decided this was not enough for Bill Murray and instead donned a pair of PBR-patterned slacks that fit Bill Murray like a glove in order to test the ability of the universe to contain Bill Murray.

    Even in such close proximity to the hallowed-by-hipsters-of-2010 emblem, which would overwhelm even the most beautiful of persons, Bill Murray shines. “I think Pabst Blue Ribbon crosses all socio-economic lines,” said Murray of his pants.

    As this somehow did not cause the implosion of every known and loved thing in existence, Bill Murray pushed Bill Murray’s envelope and wore these pants not merely for the satisfaction of Bill Murrays everywhere, but for charity. More specifically, the Murray Bros. Caddyshack Charity Golf Tournament, which kicked off on March 27th in Jacksonville, FL.

    Since its inception, the Murray Bros. Foundation has raised $3 million for various charities. This year, proceeds from the event will benefit the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. The charity’s website claims the event offers “first class golf courses, first class food, and a first class good time,” (might this be a Suntory Time?) which Bill Murray has single-handedly created by his present and perfect slack selection.

    So go forth, Bill Murray, and continue to increase every human’s likelihood of heart attack via your public, persistent, and effortless (HOW?) blend of coolness and compassion.

    Oh yea, and the shirt:

  • Never Leave The House With Your Fly Down Again

    There is nothing more embarrassing than having a friend point out that your fly is down. It happens a lot when we’re young because we’re stupid and can’t be bothered to zip up before leaving the house. I wrongly assumed I would learn better as I grew older, but a new DIY tool will make sure that you’re always zipped up before heading out.

    The ever brilliant Randy Sarafan of Instructables has created what he calls the Discrete Pants Fly Checker. It’s a little device you can build yourself that will check whether or not your fly is down after a visit to the restroom. Here’s how it works:

    By pressing a button located in the watch pocket of your pants, a small pager motor alerts you to whether or not the zipper is up. Basically, the zipper of the pants was enhanced with two strands of conductive thread which form a complete circuit when bridged. A small circuit board with a battery, button and motor attached then snaps into the watch pocket. Finally, when the button is pressed, and the zipper is closed, the circuit is completed and the motor vibrates.

    Got that? It vibrates if you’re all good and doesn’t if you need to awkwardly turn around to fix the problem while pretending that you’re checking a text. It’s a win-win for everybody even if your friends all knew what you were really doing. They just wanted to see how long it would take until you noticed yourself.

    If you want to learn how to make your own, check out the easy to follow instructions over at Instructables.
