Living Notoriously Well with Jose Cuervo
 
How To Make Your Game As Smooth As Cuervo Silver Or The Best Places to Meet Women
Although a nocturnal creature by nature, a Man Living Notoriously Well may occasionally grow bored with taverns, bars and other venues of mild iniquity. In such instances he may pursue new ways to spend his time–especially ones that offer him a chance to mingle with members of the fairer sex. He may try:

Acting Class
An aspiring starlet is always open to new things, including rehearsals over a bottle of chilled Jose Cuervo Silver.

Yoga
Bending yourself into a “Crescent Moon” may take some practice, but it‘s worthwhile if you land a few dates. Just make sure your friends don‘t find out.

Notoriety In The Mist Or Advantages To Owning A Helper Monkey

Here are the pros and cons of owning a helper monkey:

PROS OF OWNING A HELPER MONKEY:

  • Helper monkeys make awesome margaritas.
  • Time management. A helper monkey will clean your house, wash your clothing, listen to your girlfriend and collect outstanding debts—thus giving you more time for your own activities.

Camaraderie or the Importance of Having a Nickname
A man Living Notoriously Well aspires to be called many things (e.g. Sir, Colonel, Daddy). But few titles bestowed upon a man living notoriously well carry the prominence of a nickname.

Here are a few tips for giving yourself the perfect moniker:
  1. Try replacing your first name with Big, Howling, or Chappie
  2. Don't name yourself after an animal that can be domesticated or found in a petting zoo. Go for the noble beasts (Bear, Tiger or Catfish.)
  3. Keep it modern. Nicknames like Dutch and Steamtramp had there time generations ago.
  4. Any nickname becomes brilliant with the word "Old" before it. (Old Tex, Old Jimmy, Old Sandwich)

Adorning your Quarters or Home Decorating and Living Notoriously Well
Living Notoriously Well means being able to festoon one's quarters with priceless relics and the hides of rare beasts. And while the path to a furnished home is strewn with self-assembled furniture and posters of bewitching starlets, these pointers may help those with more refined tastes:

1. Befriend the elderly.
The elderly bought their furniture long before plastics or hexagonal tools ever came into existence. Chances are the end table in your grandmother's pad took a craftsman several hours and appendages to make. Needless to say, it's a quality piece.

2. Garage Sale
Usually these affairs are merely a jamboree of the mundane. But amidst the faded small appliances, paperback novels and stained sheets sits a fine hand-carved sculpture of an eagle.

3. Antique Store
Proprietors of antique stores tend to be gabby folk. But smile, nod and feign interest in all they have to say and the prices on their hand-written price tags will drop like ice into a rocks glass.

The Silver Tongue Speaks or 5 Phrases You Should Know in Foreign Languages
Living Notoriously Well means gallivanting around the world. One day you're gambling in Monte Carlo, the next you're having tea with royalty. And while most of the time language barriers are broken down with body language and raised glasses of Cuervo, it still is important to know these phrases in as many languages as possible:

Please move your island away from my yacht.

Ничего этого не помню.
Ya nichego etogo ne pomnyu

Call the consulate and have them reach my father.

Entschuldigung, ich wusste nicht, das sie mit Ihnen zusammen ist.

What country are we in?
В какой стране мы находимся?
V kakoi strane mi nahodimsya?

Slight of Helping Hand or the Importance of Working the Fundraising Circuit.
Living Notoriously Well means basking the company of the elite. And these days the glitterati are more likely to graze fundraisers than the polo fields.

Attending fundraisers gives you an opportunity to mingle with the upper crust, and overwhelm them your gentlemanly charm. They hasten your quest to Live Notoriously Well by:

Allowing you to 'introduce yourself' to the daughters of railroad barons and steel moguls. Demonstrate your compassion by helping those in need.

Find a worthwhile cause and attend their grandest annual gala. Wow the jet set with tales of life on your 'starter yacht.' Watch doe-eyed daughters of tycoons gaze at you wantonly while you recall your last climb up The Matterhorn. And when the evening is through, your pockets will be bristling with phone numbers.

Tightening the Ornate Belt or Living Notoriously Well on a Budget
Whilst standing on the veranda of his abode, credit card statement in hand, a man Living Notoriously Well may find himself asking the following questions about his financial predicament.

"Was it the Faberge egg omelets?"
"The diamond-encrusted cell phone?"

But alas, a man Living Notoriously Well is always rich in wit. And though his bank account is anemic, his mental coffers still brim with shrewd schemes.

And thus a few suggestions to help you navigate the fog of today's financial climate:

Date a cougar
Without the typical responsibilities of a woman her age, Ms. Gurrr is on the prowl. Furrow through the bobble-headed vixens grazing the bar floor and you'll find the cougar sitting alone. One gaze into her hungry eyes your fortunes have been restored.

Call in Favors
Whether it's a friend nursed back to health from a broken heart, or a dispute settled between rival diplomats, a man Living Notoriously Well should never hesitate to summon the obligations of those he's aided.

Collectibles
One man's trash is another man's treasure. There's a world of nerds out there who are willing to pay top dollar for your Sci-fi trilogy action figures.

Breaking Through the Gilded Curtain or How to Get Upgraded to First Class
Few things degrade a notorious gentleman more than a ride in 'economy class.' And while it is important for a man Living Notoriously Well to occasionally mingle with the proletariat, he should do so only when a member of the proletariat is putting a 'spit shine' on his herringbone, alligator-skin loafers.

The best way to seek an upgrade is through the ticket counter. Chances are surly customers have held the damsel behind the counter captive for the entirety of her shift. These workaday folk have imprisoned her with complaints about paying to check-in their bags, which, incidentally are packed to the brim with failure and faded cotton.

With your rakish grin and happy-go-lucky charm, initiate a conversation with the ticket agent. Once she has succumbed to your allure and breathed freedom, ask her if she can upgrade you to first class. Remind her of the leg injury you sustained while 'rescuing priceless cultural artifacts from a burning museum' and you'll be on the proper side on the plane's partition.

All Hollows Eve Or Proper Plumage
Women always seem to be able to find just the right costume for Halloween. For guys however, not so easy. There are a lot of things to take into consideration when planning and executing a proper plumage in which to garner the respect of other dudes, and the interest of the aforementioned women. We've listed 3 questions every guy needs to ask himself when attempting to pay homage to the fall harvest.

In Case of Emergency, Can I Shed this Costume?
Halloween costumes are made from cheap, synthetic materials that can fall apart or irritate your skin. Make sure you have a backup plan.

Is My Costume Too Obscure?
Don't pick a costume that's too bizarre. Your fellow partiers shouldn't have to think too hard about your complex 'concept' piece. You may think that going as "modern guilt" or "gas prices" are really clever important issues that need interpretation, but you'll be wandering around the whole night explaining yourself while tripping over your idea, literally.

Am I using Halloween to Publicly Project an Otherwise Embarrassing Hobby?
Are you into reading novels about make believe and magic? That's so sweet. But guess what? A 27-year-old day-trader dressed up like a wizard is really creepy.

Pet Ownership Or Raptor Care
The Living Notoriously Well lifestyle does not lend itself well to pet ownership. All the walking and feeding and the petting and the playing can really get in the way of jet setting and dating supermodels. But there is one unquestionably appropriate pet for any notorious lifestyle: A Falcon.

Falcons are not only loyal pets, but they are also the inspiration for the F-16. Here are 4 other reasons Falcons are the only pets you should consider owning:
  1. What other animal plays fetch at 70 mph?
  2. There's no such thing as a toy falcon that sits in your purse.
  3. Falcons wear hoods, not sweaters.
  4. What other pet requires a safety glove called a gauntlet when handling?
