As Robotindisguise put it:

I was just emailed a link to GhettoBaskets.com, a site that sells gift baskets filled with the cheapest ghetto staples and ‘what falls off of trucks around the neighborhood.’

A basket might include some of the following ghetto goods: purple drink, beef jerky, pork rinds, religious candle, pregnancy test, doo rag, plastic commemorative plate.

We at 40cozy thought this idea up a while back, but I’m happy to see someone else is actually doing it. And they’re doing it well. The site is bad ass and the baskets are perfect. With one exception. We think they should have a 40cozy in there, because a Ghetto Basket can’t really be complete without some malt liquor.

When is a good occasion to send a Ghetto Basket you ask? According to their site:

You just found out the baby isn’t yours
A loved one was recently released from prison
The tornado didn’t blow your trailer away
Mom found her tooth
You just got your GED
Arbor Day

Go check out their site, and send one of these to your hoodrat/thug friends.

(Note to Ghetto Baskets homies – you should think about adding some of the following: Mexican candy, Hot Cheetos, fake tattoos, bandana, tall socks, menthol cigarettes (or flavored cigarillos), rolling papers, Lil Homies figurines, wife beater, Planned Parenthood condoms. You could have a guy basket and girl basket also, the ladies’ basket having lip liner, etc. Just some ideas. Those are all staple items in our local liquor stores.)

Found these brilliant 40oz inspired creations over at this blog. They’re art pieces created by Gary Garay, but I think these popsicles would sell like crazy. Remember being a kid and a breeze would bring you the whisper of a melody, just a note or two, and you and your friends bolted like rats inside to grab up some change from your dresser or the couch, because you knew what was on the way? Fuckin ice cream man! If you were lucky, that truck would come creeping down your street. Now imagine if you could have bought a popsicle that proudly displayed your affiliation to the west west y’all? Now if these 40 oz pops actually tasted like malt liquor then there’d really be something to these. Too bad booze doesn’t really freeze.

I’m loving this company for three reasons:

1. Their name is brilliant.

2. Their site design is sick. Designed like a rad 80’s arcade game, navigate just like you did when you were crushing Donkey Kong back in ‘86.

3. They’re slanging silver & gold plated O.E. bottle pendants:

If you’re interested in getting one, or checking out all their other rad gear, go to hancholo.com. They’ve got a large variety of bad ass belt buckles, rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. Oh, and if you’d like to get yourself one of these 40oz pendants, check out the pricing below. So for the price it’d cost you to get around 1000 O.E. 40’s, you can get a 14k gold necklace of an O.E. 40oz.

We’re very proud of reaching the 100k mark in just two weeks. That’s the nerdy equivalent of a gold record, right? If you haven’t heard yet, we recently launched pour1out, a free iPhone application.

Pour1out is an iPhone application paying homage to the street tradition of pouring out some of your 40oz to commemorate fallen homies. The main feature is a motion-sensitive 40oz beer bottle that pours out when you tilt the iPhone. Users can select any of 40cozy’s beer koozies to add to the virtual beer. The greatest feedback involves the one-click button that finds the nearest liquor store, utilizing the iPhone’s GPS functionality.

We initially had some glitches in the first version, but I guess that’s what you get when you pay the developer in beer. We’ve released a newer version with better coding and we’ll keep working to improve the app.

While we’ve received some very positive reviews from several beer-drinking sites, it seems some of the iPhone users are slightly less impressed. We’re pretty sure they don’t get the tongue-in-cheek, ironic beauty of an application inspired by a $2.45 beer for a $300 phone. It has a button that finds the nearest liquor stores… and it’s free! Are you not entertained?

Perhaps they think we’re a slick corporate company trying to capitalize on the street cred of the 40oz. Well, we’re not. The app was created by Scott, our resident tech-savvy guy, in under two weeks. He filmed the 40 oz pouring out beer in his garage, dusted off his programming textbook, slapped at a keyboard for a long time, and behold: 40cozy’s pour1out.

We’re proud of it and we hope you enjoy it. We’re already working on another iPhone app for drinkers that’s going to blow every other app out of the water. That’s right, developer bitches, get ready for more genius from 40cozy.

If the movie is as good as this music video, then Step Brothers is a must see. Will Ferrell and John C. Riley rappin’ and reppin’ hard.

Being a business major, I for some reason had to take 2 statistics classes and 3 accounting classes- not sure why, since I haven’t used that stuff once since being on the outside. That stuff is for squares as far as I’m concerned.

There was this kid that always ended up in my biz classes. He’s the typical wanksta white kid with his ears tucked into his hat (stickers still proudly left on), wearing a Sean John jumpsuit and Timberland boots. You know that guy. The one with a single ipod earpiece in during class, so that you can hear 50cent or some other top 40 hip-hop blaring out the other. Yeah, well I used to clown this guy until the first midterm got handed back. Apparently, this cat is a mathematical genius. The point of this nonsensical story is twofold:

First, don’t judge a toolbag by his cover, because he might be a great kid to sit behind for exams. Secondly, I wanted to bring to your attention a bad ass website that must have been created by the aforementioned douche.

The site provides mathematical charts and graphs to represent rap songs. Here are some good samples:

Solid site, I’m going to pour some out for that kid from stats class- never should have underestimated him.
