Stuff like this is what keeps the "bachelor" in The Bachelor Guy.

The worst part? Some poor, unsuspecting bastard is standing at the alter, in his overpriced, rented tux, waiting for this train wreck to come roaring into his station. While everyone he knows looks on in horror. And thinks to themselves, "Yup, you can bet this isn't gonna be the last time she flips out like this..."

Watch all the fun and laughs on YouTube, here. Especially you guys thinking of proposing this Valentine's Day.

Oh, and if anyone knows how to get in touch with her "friends" who recorded this debacle and uploaded it for the entire world to see forever and ever, amen... let me know. I want to party with those girls.

Yesterday I asked you to take our lingerie survey. (And for those of you who shied away from two minutes worth of questions - do it now. Click here if you are a guy, ladies click here. The results so far are pretty eye-opening, and I'll post them here next week.)

We are offering a $300 gift basket to one lucky respondent, courtesy of Shirley of Hollywood, as added incentive to spend the two minutes. And a few of you emailed me and asked where they could get a gift basket of your own put together as a Valentine's Day gift.

I like how you're thinking. Rather than go the usual chocolates and flowers route - again - go personal, and get her some stuff that will ignite your V Day. (You can also think of it as a gift to yourself.)

A great way to do this is through SurpriseParties.com. Here's why: Surprise Parties specializes in hosting in-home "Girls Nights Out", where your sweet, innocent girlfriends, and all their sweet, innocent friends drink wine, giggle a lot, and buy naughty things all night. (Man, I love coming home after one of these.)

Who better to suggest what to stuff her basket with than one of their Surprise Hostesses? She's been to dozens of these parties, and witnessed the buying habits of hundreds of women. And she knows what products are available, so you don't have to spend hours searching for stuff.

Here's what you do: Go to www.surpriseparties.com. Click on STORE. Enter in your info, (they need to make sure you're over 18), and they will have a local rep contact you. (Or, if you prefer to pick out your own items, you can place your order online, and the local rep will contact you after for delivery.)

Spend a few minutes talking to her. She'll tell you what's available. She'll make suggestions. Like the Chocolate Body Pens you can use to write love notes all over her body. Or the Champagne Love Bucket filled with 100 scented rose petals, tea light candles, a special invitation card and a romantic music CD. All great stuff we wouldn't think to look for. Add some lingerie and your Valentine's Day could turn into Valentine's Week.

At TheBachelorGuy.com it's been my goal to get you info on the latest, newest, coolest and most unique gear, drinks, food, etc. - in the interest of improving your life. And lifestyle.

Most of the time my info comes from industry insiders, who send me samples, testers, survey results, links... whatever they have that I can pass along to you, my readers.

Sometimes I gather the info myself. This is one of those times.

Valentine's Day is less than a month away. That means gifts. Sexy gifts. I was talking to my friends over at Shirley of Hollywood - designers and manufacturers of some of the hottest, sexiest lingerie I've ever seen - and we were discussing what guys should get their women. And what sexy stuff women could get for their men. This brought up a number of other questions and, after much discussion, we decided to ask you, for your opinions.

So now you have the opportunity to help me help you. Take the short survey we've put together. Let us know what you think, want, need, buy. And we'll make sure the info gets out.

And for all my female readers - here's your chance to let guys everywhere know what you want in a gift. What you really want.

As an added bonus, Shirley's is giving away a His N' Hers Romantic Gift Basket, valued at over $300, to one lucky survey taker. It's the perfect gift to ignite your Valentine's Day.

If you're a guy, click here. Ladies, click here. The future of Valentine's Day is in your hands...

There's nothing I like better than a good bar bet. Do it right and you can win free drinks, impress the ladies, and make some guy look like an idiot. All in one shot. It's the perfect storm of hustles.

A buddy of mine sent me this one. What I like about it is it's one of those rare bar bets where there is no skill involved. All you need is a little knowledge of how beer glasses are made, and a guy who believes what he sees.

Check it out here.

Take a few very bored people, a couple of heavy-duty bungee cords, a harness and a four-wheeler, and you've got the ingredients for one wild ride.

This is one of those rare video moments where things actually go according to plan, and no one has to call for emergency medical assistance.

Note to readers: I'm am off to Las Vegas to cover the Consumer Electronics Show. While I'm there i'll be gathering info on the newest stuff set to come out this year and posting pics and stories all week.

If all goes according to plan, I'll be posting videos of product demos, interviews, and other stuff as well.

Plus, if they let me in, I'll be reporting from the Adult Entertainment Expo, too.

(And as a bonus, while I'm there I'm filming a How to Buy Lingerie video for you, with a Playboy Playmate... You're welcome.)

Stay tuned... it's gonna be a good week.

I just read an announcement that said studies of Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball from his record-breaking 1998 season showed it contained "a material not outlined in official Major League Baseball specifications." Apparently there is a synthetic rubber ring around an enlarged rubberized core.

Using a CT scanner, The Center for Quantitative Imaging at Penn State University also studied additional MLB baseballs from 1998 and found the baseballs have significantly enlarged cores in a variety of shapes and sizes. It's almost as if the balls were on steroids...

This contradicts the findings of a 2000 MLB commissioned study about concerns over altered balls. That report found no change in the balls at all. Even though photos of the rubber ring were included in the report itself.

Wait. So, the report found nothing unusual in the balls. Nothing out of the ordinary. Except this photo of a rubberized ring around the core. But just ignore that.

MLB I hope you're listening. These next few paragraphs are for you.

I'm a sports fan. One of the greatest times I'd had as a fan was watching McGwire and Sosa chase the single season home run record that year. I even got to see Mark hit numbers 68 and 69 in person. Even though he was on the visiting team, the crowd went crazy when he came to the plate. Even crazier when he crushed the balls over the wall. So, yeah, I was pissed when allegations came up that both he and Sosa were taking "performance enhancing substances". Disappointed too. And glad you said something was going to be done about "cheaters".

But apparently you were cheating as well. Or did you not know "performance enhancing" balls were being used all season? Did the manufacturer decide entirely on their own to change the way the balls are required, by your rules and specifications, to be made? Without your knowledge? Was this a surprise gift to you?

It's no secret baseball was in trouble before the '98 season. Strikes. Sky-high salaries. Whining players. All combined for complete fan apathy. But nothing sells tickets like excitement. And nothing is more exciting in baseball than crushing home runs. If we fans are to believe your 2000 commissioned study, your ball supplier engineered the single greatest act of charity in creating a juiced ball for you without your prior consent or knowledge. Pretty ballsy of them. (Pun intended.)

Now, I'm no synthetic rubber engineer, but I gotta think having a rubber ring and an enlarged core would make the ball go much, much further when hit. Whether or not the hitter was "performance enhanced" himself.

It's very hard for me to take a sport seriously when the people in charge (meaning you, MLB) stand up in the nation's capital and publicly condemn cheating, while secretly taking part in it. I'll be keeping that in mind next season when tickets become available. And I think a good number of other fans will too.

File this under "More Reasons to Stay a Bachelor".

Women's Day Magazine and AOL surveyed over 3,000 married women. On married life. Flirting. Infidelity. And the results are very promising. If you're a divorce attorney.

When asked if they could go back to their wedding day and do it all over again, would they still marry their husband, a whopping 36%, said: "Nope. Not so much." Wow. Over a third of married guys are sleeping with a woman - every single night - who wishes she'd have said "I don't". One out of every three.

And another 20% weren't sure either way. Not sure? To me this is one of those crystal-clear, black or white, yes or no, type questions. I have to think "not sure" is a nice way of saying "he's a loser, but at least it's better than trolling 80's retro dance clubs in a leopard spandex top, looking for the one guy without a toupee." So, being completely unscientific and self serving, I am going to add most of those 20% "Undecided"s over to the "No Way" group. Meaning that about half of all married women in the US are sorry they married the poor bastard.

So the next time you drive by a kids' soccer game, figure every other mom cheering from the sidelines is miserable. (I just realized that came off like a dating tip. Before my female readers storm The Pad, let me state that I absolutely do not encourage adultery. Unless you have a realistic shot at Jennifer Garner. Then it's completely understandable. Sorry, Ben.)

If that's not depressing enough for all you married guys (or soon-to-be-married guys) out there, here's some of the other gems this survey uncovered: 76% of married women regularly keep secrets from their husbands. Another 76% admit to fantasizing about a man other than their husband. (I see a pattern there.) And 39% admit to flirting with other men "constantly". Makes you want to change professions to Youth Soccer Coach.
