And stay there until the stress level drops.

Coffee tables make great ottomans. (Ottomen?) They're the perfect height, they're close to the couch, and they perform double duty by holding both your feet and your drink and chip bowl. But there are downsides: they're only comfortable for a short time, and if you're wearing shoes, you can damage the table. (Not to mention the crap you get for doing it at your girl's place.)

Instead, throw a Coffee Table Ottoman on it and recline in comfort, without leaving heel marks in the wood. They're made with "green" Eco Foam, a memory foam that's cut in a crescent shape for optimum support, and to keep it from sliding around like throw pillows do.

The stain resistant cover comes in your choice of micro suede or a satin and knit "dazzle cloth". And if you're thinking of putting one in your Dude Den, they can also be customized with a team logo or colored fabric.

For about $45 bucks you can turn every seat in your house into a recliner.

UV Vodka has some political party-inspired drinks that, like most politicians, are very simple and don't require a whole lot of skill. They can help make the upcoming campaigns a little easier to tolerate. I'll need a few just to deal with those endless TV ads.

The Red Elephant
1 part UV Cherry
2 parts lemon-lime soda
Serve over ice in a highball glass.

The Blue Donkey
1 part UV Blue
2 parts lemonade
Serve over ice in a lowball glass. Garnish with a cherry

The Independent
1 part UV Vodka
2 parts tonic water
Serve over ice in a lowball glass. Garnish with a lemon wedge.

We've got (left to right, top to bottom): Florida girl, Sydney; poker playing Jamie Lynn from Austin, TX; club hopping Daizy from California; Outdoor lover Charlene from Indiana; LA's Christine, who'll do anything for an In 'N Out cheeseburger; Chelsey from Palm Beach, FL; Heidi, who spends time at her LA home sipping tea in her undies; and Jacksonville, NC's Jill, who stays in lingerie shape with Pilates.

They're today's Crazy Hot Eight. Check out their entry pics here and don't forget to vote your favorites to the finals in the Bahamas.

You and your girl (or two), can grab a little al-fresco entertainment under the stars this summer with the CineBox Home outdoor system from Open Air Cinema, the guys who make those giant screens for events and concerts.

Everything's included. Slide a DVD into the player and the digital projector beams the movie onto your choice of a 10-foot or 12-foot wrinkle-free, inflatable movie screen (with a blower fan for 30 second inflation). There's also a sound mixer, LED light to aid in nighttime set up, and all the cables you'll need. When the movie's done, the whole thing goes into a carrying case for easy storage.

Pick up the screen separately, or grab the complete package, and add an extra dimension to your next backyard bash. Just warn the neighbors before showing selections from your "special" collection to see what Jenna looks like 12 feet tall.

Screens start at $399
Complete kits from $1499

Emmanuelle Chriqui is that perfect combination of sophisticated and sexy. That rare girl who can impress your boss at dinner with her class, then release the freak at home and completely rock your world. She's our debutante/slut fantasy come to life.

Here are over 70 pics for fans of both sides of her personality. You're welcome.

Until the power goes out.

Which is why Duracell, famous for making batteries not endorsed by an annoying drum playing bunny, wants you know about their new, high-tech lights before you get stuck in the dark.

Their Daylite line of flashlights uses LEDs and their TrueBeam technology to capture 100 percent of the light emitted - as opposed to the typical 70 percent captured by their competitors. Which gives you a super bright white beam, without any of the black spots found in typical flashlights. (See the pics.) And the use of the more efficient LEDs means the batteries last longer, so when you pull the Daylite out of the drawer during a blackout, there's a greater chance it'll work. And last until the lights come back on.

They come in an 80 lumen version and a high-powered 160 lumen version, when you really need to bring in some daylight. The housing is made of super-duty aluminum, made to withstand harsh treatment, and they're small enough to fit in your glove compartment or toolbox. And, yeah, the batteries are included.

$24.99 - 80 lumen version
$34.99 - 160 lumen version

And while you may remember shaking your head at the inexplicably named Probe - of which CandD says Ford may have "had romantic, interstellar intentions when they pulled the name Probe out of their, um, heads, but it instead only evoked the snap! of latex gloves and extraterrestrial incursions" - most of the names on the list put it to shame.

A few of my favorites:
Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard (I hear Harry Potter drives one.)
Isuzu GIGA 20 Light Dump (Don't even ask about the Heavy Dump.)
Mazda Bongo/Bongo Friendee/Bongo Brawny (Which proves what happens when car companies hire hippies in the marketing department.)
and the ever popular, Yamaha Pantryboy Supreme (A huge step up from the base Pantryboy.)

So to try to get as many girls in the gallery as possible, I'm going to be posting in groups from now until the finals next month, where the top 20 contestants will join me in the Bahamas for the finals. (And one of you may win a chance to join us... so stay tuned.)

Today's contestants are (left to right, top to bottom): beach-going Elisa from Florida; Vanessa N. from Houston, who loves literature and art; Will Ferrell fan, Emilee B. from Lake Worth, FL; sushi-loving D'Nika from Lubbock, TX; Danita from Edison NJ, who stays fit with yoga; Kathy from Redlands, CA; Darlen from Austin, TX; and music-loving Marlene from Davie, FL.

And lucrative.

Which is what happened with Slightest Touch. Seems they spent a decade trying to develop the ultimate foot massager using acupuncture and electronics to stimulate the body. What they found was that when the device's electrodes were placed on the ankles of test subjects, it sucked at giving a massage, but succeeded in getting several female test volunteers exceptionally horny. Which ultimately resulted in some very powerful orgasms. Congratulations. You've invented the Orgasmatron.

Why should you care? Because by stimulating the sexual nerves responsible for arousal, they are able to make your girl yell, "Bingo!" much easier and much more often. During soon-to-be unforgettable sex with you, Cowboy. One electrode pad on each ankle, turn it on, and you're a carnal god. Which definitely beats the hell out of a foot massage.
