Gmail is awesome

Update: Here is the newest web clip.

Celebrity Fantasy Leagues - TabloidFantasyLeague.com - Draft Your Celebrity Team Today. If they are in the Tabloids You win

I read about this idea on Page 2 when Bill Simmons wrote about it. Then on vacation in Jamaica we had a mock fantasy draft (and I think B Spears was my second round pick...)

Would anyone want to be in my league if i started one, assuming it was free?

I have been using gmail for a few years and have been very happy. One thing that is unique about it is the advertisements that it places in the banner on the page are supposed to be related to your email content. Another feature is a 'web clip' that is near the top of the page. You can somewhat control the content.

Anyways, the point of this rant is the web clip that I just read while checking my email. It said the following:

Man Powder vs Baby Powder - www.Man-Powder.com - Men. Sprinkle it on your balls. Put an end to your sweaty nuts.

I sort of wanted to click on it.

You might want to tell Eric. I think he was looking for some help in that area.

If I was you I'd try to control it so that the web clips were as entertaining as possible, like that one.

"Man-Powder keeps me fresh and dry where it counts the most, so I can drop my drawers with confidence."

"It gets real hot and sticky here! I sweat everywhere but my grundle."

"I do a lot of traveling all around the world. Forgetting my Man-Powder would be like forgetting my toothbrush, very stinky and let me tell you- No women!

"I have attened a lot of baseball games in my life being a Red Sox fan. If I do not powder up before the game there is no stretching for me during the seventh inning. My nuts will have created a mold to my leg leaving me imobile. Go Red Sox!"

I use "Shower to Shower" Absorbent Body Power (the blue container not the pink) every morning. It would simply be impossible to get through the day without sprinkling a bit of this powder on my testes each morning.

I think chafing issues have been talked about enough to know that I really do need some Man Powder. Maybe I can get a quote on the website.

I thought Joe Boston was Hot Carl. I think that this website was made by him. Thinking about the quotes, even though I am sure they are fictional is even funnier. They should do a commercial with Boston Joe where he is at the World Series and he can't get up and cheer because his moldy grundle leaves him stuck to his seat and show the next clip of him powdering up for opening day and the joy and happiness that would ensue from being separated from the seat at Fenway due to the use of the Man Powder.

You could also do a test with Nate Blessler where he runs up and down the strip and then Gadbois inspects his grundle to see if there is sweat....sort of like an infomercial.

As for Chris Blevins...you can have someone, say our friend who was on Blind Date, going through some inner monologue as to whether he is going to crush a girl but backing off since his grundle is "lacking confidence"

Thanks for bringing this great product to light!

"You know what, Nate... I really don't see any sweat."

"No sweat, Dan. There's really no sweat."

"If only it was no sweat to win the World Series of Poker. Now let's go back to Tony who is with Kurt who has a story about how Man Powder saved his night."

I can't stop laughing.

And yes, I'd give celebrity fantasy a try.

I would definitely play in the fantasy league. And basically, I would dominate.
