While growing up I was a huge comic book freak and collector. Loved super heroes. I particularly liked Marvel because they had the cooler cats on their side. DC’s heroes were always a little bit lame to me. Read the full story

When I was growing up I always loved cartoons and kids shows – Bugs, Daffy, Tweetie, Tom & Jerry, Woody, Popeye, and the Roadrunner. Little did I realize, that great stuff was from the 1940’s and the 50’s. Who cared, it was on Saturday mornings and I didn’t go out until they were done airing at around noon. My brother and I would pour ourselves a big ol’ bowl Cocoa Puffs or Frosted Flakes (Which were called Sugar

Like ha-ha funny, like clown funny…I amuse you?

All the world love a clown. Send in the clowns. And even though your heart is aching, laugh clown laugh. God, what a crock of Shineola.

Every since I was a toddler, I’ve always possessed a disdain for these frightening looking beasts. They are a socially retarded lot, with their floppy red curly hair, bulbous noses, baggy pants and signature over-sized pontoons for shoes. They’re society’s misfits, outcasts from everyday life who sought refuge under the big top, the only place where “their” kind can find acceptance. Read the full story

As a longtime advertising and marketing man, I can appreciate the creative approaches and use of media that companies employ to promote their coveted brands. But, I don’t think there’s a product category with stiffer competition than the male enhancement market. Read the full story

This is so hysterical I’m still crying.

I Pose a Question for you:

Why do “most” (not all, I said most, so don’t anyone get their panties in a wad) local contractors, builders, landscapers, plumbers, masons, lawn care people, handyman fix-it guys NEVER-EVER show up when they say that they are going to? Whether it’s to look at a job, give a price quote, or commence the work, I am guestimating that 8 out of 10 of these guys are the worst business people to roam the earth and just never to stick to what they say they are going to do. And I know that 9 out of 10 of you reading this have been through the agony of dealing with a local-yocal contractor and have your own stories of horror and disbelief. Read the full story

What do YOU think is grossly OVERRATED?

I got to thinking about things/people/places that are raved about by many and put high upon a pedestal – but I personally don’t get it or remotely agree with it. So I put my own little list down below and please feel free to agree and be my bud, disagree and tear me a new one, or come up with your own deal. Read the full story

The great Lew Rothman, big cheese and head mogul of JR Cigars took time out of his incredibly busy day to write me an article for this site, filled with wishes of well being and good fortune. I’m not only honored, but practically in tears each time I read his loving words. I was compelled to share this with all of you. So, without further adieu…

Welcome to Zman’s COUGAR HALL of FAME
Since I was a lad, I’ve always had a certain yearning for the older gals. I couldn’t explain it back then, but when my friends were checking out the cheerleaders – I was checking out their moms. With today’s COUGAR craze, many tell me that I was truly ahead of my time. Guess you could call me a pioneer – a big game hunter for the elder, more cunning kittys.

ABOUT THIS FELINE HALL OF HAPPINESS
A woman is granted COUGARHOOD upon reaching the ripe age of thirty-five. There are four levels of cats as illustrated in the box below. As these ladies age like fine wine, they graduate to new and higher levels.

CLICK> R. Welch . CLICK> J. Seymour . CLICK> D. Moore . CLICK> S. Hayek . CLICK> H. Klum

I (Tommy Z) am the curator and grand poobah of this hallowed dwelling. The Inaugural Induction has placed five sumptuous and well deserved COUGARS into its rankings. Each week, one new COUGAR will be added and featured in the Hall. Click the link for the corresponding Cougars and every week you will read bios, factoids, and glom at some of the loveliest pictorals imaginable.

CRITERIA FOR A COUGAR
One simple rule I have is that each lady chosen must still float my personal boat. In other words – they’ve still gotta be well kept and desirable to be named a coveted kitty. I have no problems with plastic surgery as there would be no Hall without the men who nip and tuck these elder beauties. But note that in the event a Hall of Famer hags out or turns into a grotesque fattie, I have the option of revoking their charter.

Now since this is my house, I will choose the ladies who I personally feel are worthy of this honor. While you may disagree with some of my esteemed picks, I can only suggest that YOU spend hundreds of hours and thousand of dollars to start your own website. Until then, please feel free to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
I really want to hear your comments and feedback on the inductees! And I especially want you to send in your own personal picks! Remember, 35 is the minimum age so Angelina Jolie and Eva Longoria are still considered Cougars In Training. And don’t tell me about Ginger, Mary Ann, Farah, or Sophia Lauren because they all look like god damned fossils. Longevity is key.

And hey, if you’ve got a hottie COUGAR for a wife, main squeeze, girlfriend, or neighbor, send their photos on in and they just might be named as an honorable Planet Zman Guest Cougar! That’d be pretty sweet huh?
