Yvonne is the third model to appear in a SoBe Lifewater Skinsuit, and she chatted with us about the experience a few weeks ago. We posted a couple of photos from the shoot, but photos on a blog a really don’t do the shoot justice. To fully appreciate the SoBe skinsuit, you need a big poster autographed by Yvonne herself. Something like this:

How do you score the poster? Easy! Just follow us on Twitter @MANjrcom and send us an email below. We’ll pick a winner at random next Tuesday.

Good luck!

That’s right, Clean Out Your Computer Day falls on the second Monday in February every single year. And it certainly feels like Monday today, so that means it’s time to give your old machine some love.

Seriously, when was the last time you defragged that bad boy? Or fixed your registry errors? You probably have at least two dozen programs cramming up your start up menu right now. Think of all the junk and clutter and unwanted programs that you have running on your PC right now.

So yea, it’s time to give your comp a good solid scrub. Free up some RAM. Accumulate some speed. Make that thing run like it used to.

How you ask? Well if you’re super on the ball and you perform regular maintenance on your PC, then you already know what to do to speed your machine up. But most of us lag on that stuff. So that’s why they make all in one tools like System Mechanic from iolo technologies.

System Mechanic is a software suite that includes more than 50 tools that will clean out and optimize the performance of your PC. The software lets you free up drive space, remove junk files and get rid of system-clogging clutter. It can find and repair security flaws, remove spyware, fix registry problems, update drivers, defrag memory, turn off unused background programs and optimize your Windows start up and Internet settings.

System Mechanic sells online for $40. If you want your machine to run like it used to and you aren’t going to put in the effort to gut the thing yourself, might as well drop the cash to increase performance. Enjoy the holiday, get rid of the junk and get your system back in order.

But before we close out all mentions of Super Bowl XLVI, let’s pause and appreciate some photos from the Super Bowl Playboy Party at The Bud Light Hotel in Indy:

Goodbye, NFL football. See you next year…

Who doesn’t love Harold and Kumar? The dynamic duo took us to White Castle and introduced us to the badass side of Doogie Howser, all in a smoky haze of Mary Jane. Then they tackled racial profiling, terrorism and W in the super-sequel Escape from Guantanamo Bay. So what was up next for our old friends H & K? Christmas, baby. In 3D. And although it’s kind of early to be thinking about the 2012 holiday season, we’re giving you a chance to get your Christmas on early this year. Blu-ray style.

In A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas, Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) have grown apart and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations.

Hijinks ensue when Harold and Kumar set off to cover their tracks and find a replacement tree. And don’t forget NPH. Yep, he’s back and ready for more action.

I feel like this is going to be a great game to watch. No one’s expecting a blow out. No one’s expecting one team to be in over their heads. Both coaches and QBs know the drill. They understand the importance of the moment. Belichick and Coughlin won’t be underprepared. Brady and Manning are both big game quarterbacks that won’t back away from the big stage.

But who’s going to win? The line started at Pats -3.5, and after a ton of early action on the Giants, it settled in at -3. If the Pats were favored by anything over a field goal, I think it’d be a no-brainer to roll with the G-men. But the line sits at an awkward-to-call -3, so there are arguments to be made for both teams. They go something like this:

Giants

Eli’s on fire. He dominates the fourth quarter, threw for over 5,000 yards this season and he’s only tossed one pick in the postseason. New York’s front four will pressure Brady into total confusion, causing QB jitters, happy feet and throwing mistakes. Just look what happens to Brady when he plays teams like the Ravens and the Steelers. Brady can be rattled. He’s human. He hates pressure and with a healthy set of top-flight D-linemen, New York’s pressure on Brady will be the difference in the game.

Plus, the Giants’ trio of speedy, sure-handed wideouts will be too much for New England’s suspect secondary to deal with (especially if Victor Cruz gets matched up with makeshift DB Julian Edelman). The Pats have the worst defense in football and everyone knows that defense wins championships. New York’s defense has steadily improved over the last few weeks. The Giants got hot at the right time. They beat the Pats in the regular season, and they aren’t afraid of knocking them out of Super Bowls either. Sure, Gronk is a matchup nightmare, but dude’s extra hurting and with the long halftime (31 minutes), his high ankle sprain will stiffen up and he’ll be unable to produce in the second half. Giants all the way.

Patriots

Belichick and Brady are the best there ever was. With another Super Bowl win, Belichick will join Chuck Knoll as the only head coach to win four titles. A fourth Super Bowl victory would put Tom Brady into an elite class that includes just two Hall of Fame QBs: Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw. Brady and Belichick are the only coach/QB combo to make five Super Bowl appearances. Aaron Rodgers had an MVP-type season and Drew Brees set the all-time mark for passing yards, but Brady’s year was pretty sick as well. The guy threw for 5,253 passing yards (a career-best and the second-best total in NFL history) with 39 TDs, 12 picks and a passer rating of 105.6. Brady’s coming off his worst passing performance of the season (239 yards, two INTs, no TDs and a passer rating of 57.5 against Baltimore). It’s not like he needs extra motivation for the Super Bowl, but you get the sense that Brady’s going to bounce back, put on a performance for the ages, and grab the chance to seal his already stellar legacy.

The Pats D is viewed as a weakness, but Vince Wilfork is playing amazing and New England’s defense has actually improved during the postseason. Sure, they haven’t faced an offense as potent as the Giants, but the Pats seem to get stops when they need to. They’ve allowed just three touchdowns through eight quarters in the playoffs.

And sure, the Giants have some solid weapons in the passing game. But look at what the Pats have to work with. Gronk and Hernandez combined for 2,237 receiving yards and 24 TDs in the regular season. Wes Welker posted 1,569 receiving yards, the second most in the league.

So how is this all going to shake out?

My money’s on Brady seizing the opportunity to cement his legacy. If he can get the time to throw, he’ll carve up the G-men. I’m sure it’s going to be a close, high scoring game. With so many things to balance, I say Brady tips the scale and delivers a huge game.

Pick: Pats -3
Season: 140-119-12

I like to drink and I like to eat ice cream. So naturally, when I heard about SnöBar alcohol infused ice cream and ice pops, I was a bit intrigued. Can two tastes that taste so great apart really taste that great together? I needed to investigate.

SnöBar basically takes premium alcohol and introduces a full cocktail in every ice cream and ice pop serving. Apparently this isn’t easy. There are all kinds of chemistry issues and complicated scientific know-how that goes into the ice cream/alcohol combo process. The main thing is getting the two things to coexist without separating during the freezing process. My understanding is that this has been tried before, just not that successfully.

At the moment, SnöBar ice cream and ice pops are only available in Arizona, but they’ll be showing up in Las Vegas very soon. These treats are ideal for pool parties, BBQs, sporting events, summer snacks, late night sweet-tooth nightcaps, you get the idea.

I got to sample a whole bunch of SnöBar goodies a couple weeks back. I came away impressed. Here are the current flavors of ice cream that are available:

• Grasshopper – Brandy with crème de menthe, crème de cacao and cream
• Pink Squirrel – Brandy, almond liqueur and crème de cocoa with cream
• Brandy Alexander – Brandy and crème de cocoa with cream
• Brandy Alexander with Chocolate Chips – Brandy, crème de cocoa with cream and chocolate chips

And here are the two ice pop flavors:

• Margarita ice-pop – premium tequila, lime and triple sec
• Cosmopolitan ice-pop – premium vodka, triple sec and cranberry.

I sampled a Cosmo ice pop and it was super tasty. Not too sweet, not too stiff of an alcohol taste – just the right combo of flavor, refreshment and slight head-change. For the ice cream flavors, the Brandy Alexander with Chocolate Chips was my favorite. It was a rich, homogenous blend of choco flavor with a bit of a kick. The Grasshopper has a more distinctive minty taste, with the alcohol being more of a subtle play.

The amount of alcohol included in each flavor varies a bit, from 3.59 to 6.41 percent (8.22 to 14.67 alc/vol). No one’s going to ask you for your keys after you enjoy some frozen SnöBar treats, but the alcohol content adds more than just flavor. You definitely get the satisfaction of a full cocktail with the added desert benefit of frozen refreshment.

SnöBar products can be found at Total Wine stores, but the company has plans for a more expansive nationwide rollout in 2012. Keep your eyes peeled for the displays and try one out if you have the chance. It’s a good idea that’s well executed and a delight to share with friends.
