Tulips are the new roses, you guys. Yeah, we said it: Roses are bunk. (Well, now we said it.)
Why are we saying this? Well, mainly because roses have become a staple for the American male consumer on Valentine’s Day, and as a result, the cartel that is flower stores have cranked up the price of roses.
Yet the beautiful, bulbed tulips remain at a reasonable price and with the added benefit of not being a worn out cliche.
Actually, let us take that back: if you’re going to the prom, there’s nothing cliched about roses. You high schooler.
So join us in the revolution and make tulips — the just-as-beautiful, yet substantially-better-priced Valentine’s option — the new roses.

We didn’t win the 2011 Captain Morgan BracketMaster Challenge over at Spike.com. You probably realize this because there would have been much more gloating going on thus far, and chatter about Las Vegas and stuff.
But, still, we feel compelled to congratulate the champion of the Bracketmaster Challenge, Kelly, featured right. A hearty congratulations also goes out to Joshua Estrin of Examiner and Celeb Buzzz, who coached Kelly all the way to the championship.
It was a hard-fought battle, but Joshua now retains some sort of gigantic trophy and a pile of prizes as well. Witness the final Bracket:

We’d be remiss if we didn’t think the awesome Captain for the experience of competing in this challenge, as well as the folks over at Spike for putting it on.

Well, actually, you can win stuff — and help charity. More details to follow. For now, get caught up with Monica real quick …
See? She’s awesome. You should vote for her. And again, you can do so by going to Bracketmaster.Spike.com and/or texting MONICA to 44686.
And now, for our standings. REMEMBER: GO VOTE.

Hey-o kids! So, Captain Morgan, for the second time in two years, is doing a little bracket challenge where they team up with Spike.com. (It’s actually called the Bracketmaster Challenge for those that care, and you can compete for $15,000 by going to Bracketmaster.Spike.com and filling out your own personal bracket.)
It’s an online tournament that runs February 14 – April 4 where 32 Morganettes from across the country representing the North, South, East and West will go head-to-head, vying to become the Ultimate Morganette.
We’ve — Brahsome — got one of those Morganettes under our wing and we want you to get to know her. Her name is Monica, and you can see her to the right, and check out her video below. We want you to vote for her, because if you do, we’ll win stuff too, and then we’ll share it with you. Also: there may be a charitable donation involved. So go vote here (after you watch the video).
