Read that title again. Our dreams of the 2015 portrayed in Back to the Future II just got one step closer to reality. French artist Nils Guadagnin has done what modern science could not do.

He built a working hoverboard.

According to this article from Gizmodo:

The board floats through simple electromagnetism, but the more brilliant part of the design seems to be a laser stabilization system that, we're assuming, dynamically adjusts the magnets to keep the board afloat under duress.

Ladies and gentlemen, consider the crisis of what to get me for Christmas next year solved.

Achtung!

Cocaine is a very nasty drug. Snorting massive amounts can kill you.
And, as one Dominican Republic man discovered, it can cause an irreversible erection.

Luis Rodriguez's cocaine addiction has cause a 27-day erection.
Veintisiete!
One day more and he may have changed his name to February.

In case you're not sure, a 27-day hard-on is very bad. Luis has been order to quit coke or risk his penis rotting off. Doctors may need to operate and amputate his manhood. (Talk about a kick in the balls.)

Well, now we all understand why those Viagra and Levitra ads are so concerned about calling a doctor when an erection lasts longer than 4 hours. 4, that's nothing.

This will come as a surprise to most of you, but I regularly use (and broadcast the use of) AXE products. AXE has been nice enough to send me on some amazing trips, ply me with free product, and offer up prizes for many contests we've run here. Looking back over my tenure on this blog, the pieces I've written with an AXE-flavor are some of my favorite. I figured a retrospective on my affiliation with AXE is in order.

• In Search of Girl Approved Hair
• Man Made Mad Men
• Undie Run Challenge
• California Dreamin'
• The Hamptons Trip (Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V)
• Twisted Humor
• The Leather Party
• Clean Your Balls
• Dirty Contest Alert!

I have TONS of AXE product to give away before this site shuts down for good. So I've devised a little contest. AXE is known for their interesting branding and product names. (Rise, Twist, etc...) In the comments section below, come up with the best name (and ingredients) for an AXE product. I'll pick a handful of those I deem the best and most clever and send them some AXE products.

Let 'er rip.

About 2 weeks ago an envelope arrived at my door. Size A4. Inside, on a crisp sheet of Crane Ecru White correspondence paper, the following was inscribed.

Dear Wisenheimer,

It has come to my attention that you are a writer without a home. I intend to remedy this situation.
If my sources are correct, you will find my new endeavor fitting for your creative talents.

The URL was branded in red. The letter was signed,
Niles Desonesto III

So I took the leap and joined up. That's when I learned Adam, Johnny Wright and a host of others received the same letter. They've accepted Mr. Desonesto's request as well.

So, if you're wonder what's next for me and some other YBNBY misfits, it's The Desonesto Doctrine.

The site is still coming together but we hope you follow us there. Hesitant parties should read the Conspectus first.

These cities, streets, counties and places really exist.

And people live there.

Mostly, for our amusement.

Scaramouch told me we was considering ending YesButNoButYes and I said mmm, OK, whatever (or something like that) because I really didn't know what to say. Then later he suggested we all write a goodbye post and asked how we felt. I don't know if anyone else responded, but I didn't, because I still didn't know what to say. Man, saying goodbye after these past few years turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. I'm going to miss being a part of the greatest pop culture blog on the planet. Or maybe not.
