Today is the glorious annual celebration of Ireland's most recognized patron saint, Saint Patrick. St. Patty's Day is arguably the most bro of all holidays. It's the one day a year when bros everywhere can "responsibly" drink as much as they damn please, sing/slur Irish drinking songs, and push the limits of disorderly conduct. Plus, Gingers rejoice! It's the one day a year that you might have to work a little less hard to get laid.

Aside from the color green and shamrocks, there's one thing that comes to mind when bros think St. Patrick's Day and that's Guinness.

Last September, BroBible spent some time in Dublin with Guinness Master Brewer Fergal Murray for the Guinness 250th Anniversary celebration. He showed us how to pour the perfect pint and the right way to drink a Guinness. Earlier this week, Fergal was in New York for some pre-St. Patty's festivities so we stopped by Legends in Midtown to catch up over a pint.

Aside from walking us through the essentials for a bro-worthy St. Patty's Day, Fergal told us about the brand new (and free) Guinness iPhone app (opens in iTunes), equipped with a tutorial for pouring the perfect pint, a pint head ruler, and a city-by-city pub finder, so you won't make the mistake of walking into a bar that doesn't serve Ireland's sweet, sweet nectar. Here's what the Master Brewer himself had to add:

Dear Waffles,

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Do you have any advice for all of us single bros who don't want to take some random out to dinner but still want to tear it up?

Respect,

Every Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I try to find about 11 minutes to listen to his entire "I Have a Dream" speech all the way through. The video is after the jump.  Keep Reading »

I am writing to you in dire need of your support. Greenwich, Conn., a hotbed bro community, has become so poverty stricken that it cannot afford an adequate Christmas light display this year after only raising $30,000. In order to pull off light spectacles comparable to years past, we need another $30,000 of support, otherwise we risk losing our reputation as one of the sweetest places around. I know money is always tight around the holidays, but please consider the joy you will be bringing to a town that is only looking for another $30,000 for Christmas lights.

After looking through more than a hundred entries (check them out here, here, here, here, here, and here), Waffles McButter and the Mighty Muffs have weighed in and picked the winners of BroBible's first ever Halloween Costume contest. Just like the Academy Awards, they divided the winners between men and women. We'll start first with some honorable mentions and runners up, and then unveil the winners (who will receive free T-shirts from the BroBible Gear store) at the end.

HONORABLE MENTION:

Women: These three beautiful ladies are like sunshine on a cloudy day.

Here's your final batch of Halloween photos. Waffles and the Mighty Muffs will declare the winners this afternoon.  Keep Reading »

Last batch of Halloween photos... we think! Unless a few more slip in tonight. We'll do final judging tomorrow. The ladies seem to have finally gotten on board this time around -- not only do we have their permission (we hope), but some of them even sent the photos in themselves. (Consider the gauntlet thrown down, ladies: get in on this.) Tons more after the jump.  Keep Reading »

The Halloween pics keep rolling in so we're going to keep posting them. I know, it's a lot of dudes, but your fellow Bros came up with some pretty great costumes, and we're still trying to track down permission from the girls in the photos that have been sent in. Example: Tweedle Dee is back, along with her friend Sandy from "Grease."

Since you keep sending them in, we'll accept photos of you and your friends in your costume(s) -- or of some hot chicks in theirs! -- for another few hours today, and Waffles McButter and the Mighty Muffs will pick the best costumes later this afternoon. The winners will receive free T-shirts from the BroBible Gear store.

Just one last reminder that you MUST receive permission from your friends before sending in the photos. This is especially true for photos of girls; as we're sure you've noticed, we've been asked to remove from the site a number of these shots.

Email your photos to contact@brobible.com or via our Twitter or Facebook page.  Keep Reading »

We gave you batch of Halloween pics this morning, and amazingly no angry girl has emailed us yet to tell us to take them down! So we'll press our luck with another batch.

We'll accept photos of you and your friends in your costume(s) -- or of some hot chicks in theirs! -- until midnight tonight, and Waffles McButter and the Mighty Muffs will pick the best costumes tomorrow. The winners will receive free T-shirts from the BroBible Gear store.

Here's the first round of your Halloween photos. Don't forget to send us photos of you and your friends in your costume(s) -- or of some hot chicks in theirs! -- to contact@brobible.com or via our Twitter or Facebook page.

We'll post all our favorites today and tomorrow, and Waffles McButter and the Mighty Muffs will pick the best costumes; the winners will receive free T-shirts from the BroBible Gear store. The funnier/more inappropriate (and in the ladies' case, more revealing) the better. But just make sure that you receive permission from your friends to send in your photo -- we don't want you or us to get in trouble!  Keep Reading »

UPDATE: The people in the previous photos asked us to take them down, so we'll oblige. Please don't send in photos that you don't have permission to send in.

Still recovering from your sugar- and booze-induced Halloween hangovers? So are we. And since everyone knows that the best way to get through the "Monday after" is by looking at photos from Halloween parties that you weren't at, we want to see what costumes you wore out and encountered over the weekend.

Send us photo of you and your friends in your costume(s) -- or of some hot chicks in theirs! -- to contact@brobible.com or via our Twitter or Facebook page.

Remember way, way back in the day, before that asshole in elementary school ruined it for everyone, when you thought Santa Claus was real? And you built up the excitement for at least a month until the fateful morning when you sprinted into your living room to see the gifts piled under the tree? (Authors' note: sorry to any non-Christian readers. There isn't a better analogy for this.) When you're young, there are few instances, if any, that rival that experience.

Then there's a point when you realize Santa isn't real, and that sucks for awhile. Those are the dark years. But they end when you come out the other side and realize that, while Christmas never quite feels the same, there is a new day that rivals that initial Christmas feeling. That day, of course, is Halloween.

Why, you ask? Well, there have been countless articles about how Halloween gives even relatively reserved young women the free license to let their inner slut flags fly freely with minimal backlash. That particular phenomenon is well-documented and, frankly, if you can't figure out why that makes Halloween the testosterone-filled New Christmas for any red blooded American male, you should not be on this web site, let alone reading this article. We'd like to go a step further and create a guide for determining just how truly slutty a girl is based on her costume. We know that like Christmas, Halloween goes fast and you have limited hours, so we want you to make smart and informed decisions about who to grace with your wit and wisdom for maximum return on your pussy-hunting investment.

Note that the photos below are mostly actual costumes available at Ricky's and are clearly best-case scenarios. In rank order from least likely to most likely to give it up :

The Old and Ugly
These are the girls who go all out and throw themselves so deeply into the costume for authenticity purposes that they completely cover and/or disfigure themselves. Like the chick who dresses up as a witch and uses a fake wart. Or someone dressed as one of the Golden Girls. Or whatever. At any rate, this is probably fairly obvious -- PASS. Granted, the girl under that make-up might be totally smoking hot, but no female with an acceptable sense of adventure lets the opportunity to dress like a ho without consequences go by.


Royalty
Let me tell you, any girl dressed as royalty on Halloween has an unrequited desire to actually BE royalty. And because she gets to dress like a queen/princess/duchess, she gets to act like one, too, to really live the costume. Which means she'll probably be acting like a spoiled bitch that orders you around. Sounds awesome. PASS.  Keep Reading »

Since most of us are lazy, I imagine that there are a lot of you out there still waffling around trying to find a sick Halloween costume. Our goal, as bros, is to find one that will not only make us look awesome and original but also attract the opposite sex in the process. I would have to assume that no man dressed as Chewbacca has ever taken a girl home on Halloween so any costumes like that should be avoided at all costs. If you have gotten laid while wearing a Chewy costume, please not only accept my sincerest apologies but also my congratulations for having enough game to overcome incredible odds.

While I do not in any way consider myself the foremost authority on this matter (I happen to hate any holiday where I don't get a day off -- Christopher Columbus and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. can also get fucked as far as I'm concerned), we thought it would be worth while to offer up 5 easy costumes that can be slapped together at the last minute -- which this basically is -- and can still get you laid -- which is all we really care about.  Keep Reading »
