Letter from the Editor It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these. I can’t tell you how exciting it is to get back behind the computer, especially to pen my first letter from the editor as a magazine owner. My partner, Scott Betten, and I have been working hard on to create something that’s not only innovative, but also kick-ass for the people of Pittsburgh. KD Magazine (Knuckle Dragger) is this areas only men’s interest digital magazine. I know what everyone says, print is dead! Run for the hills, get out your lighter and start burning magazines at once. I beg to differ, I think print is a beautiful process and our publication will have a once a year best of print mag. Digital is today’s way to get information, especially to our target reader. Can’t fight City Hall with a book any more, you have to send it an email and download the kick city hall’s ass app. Yea, there’s an app for that.

KD Magazine offers 2 types of great content. Our website is updated every day with new stories ranging from news to events and everything in between. The Digital Magazine offers features that you cannot get on the website, covergirl photoshoots and other exclusive content.

We’re out there on the streets everyday getting the guys of Pittsburgh the latest and greatest material. We cover Humor, Sports, Music, Food, Beer, Girls, Comic Books, Video Games, Fitness, Sex & Relationships, Cars & Rides, Local and National News, Events, Hot Spots, Gear, Gadgets, and a crapload of other stuff you’ll want to read about.

We’ll be a little bit of everywhere. You might see us racing cars at racetrack or break dancin’ in the Southside, so make sure you stop by and give us a slap on the ass, because we’re the underdog that’s fighting to make this a rockin mag . We not only represent going out and getting what’s ours, but busting the door down, taking it by the hair and making it make us a sandwich. Get ready Pittsburgh. We’re here, and not going anywhere.

Enjoy it, because we sure do.

National Hottie Salute: Kate Upton

Other than being a rockstar, Upton doesn’t take herself too seriously; she rocked the web world with a Youtube video, where she did the Cat Daddy dance, in her SI bikini. Lot’s of jiggly goodness. Anyway, enjoy this photo montage of Miss Upton, my future ex-girlfriend.

Although we like to focus on our local hotties, we have to take some time out once a month to dedicate a shout out to beautiful girls around the US. Today it’s Kate Upton, the smoking hot 20 yearold super model that hails from Melbourne, Florida.

She’s been all over TV, you tube, magazines, and probably 98% of teenage boys nocturnal activities.

RIDES.

Operation: Clean Sweep Five things not to leave in your car before a date.

2013 Ford Super Duty Platinum Edition

This thing makes my pants tight...

ATM Receipts: She doesn’t need to see how little or much you have in your bank account.

Even with all the luxury inside, this is still a man’s truck. If you’re brave enough to pick one up, make sure you grow your beard out and practice wrangling horses. If you don’t have a horse, practice on your dog, or preferably a cat…they make funnier noises.

It comes with all the toys… nav, sync with My Ford Touch, Adjustable pedals for all you Napoleon dudes who want the biggest eff-

Condoms:

If you wanna practice safe sex, we’re all for that…If you wanna cock block yourself, leave condoms in your car. Sends a couple messages: 1. you’re currently sleeping with other girls, and 2. You’re hoping to sleep with her either tonight or in the near future. While both assumptions are most likely true, no need to let the cat out of the bag so soon.

ing truck possible…Hey just don’t try to rev your diesel when you’re driving in the strip or Southside. You look like a douche bag, and the ladies already know you’re just making up for your little shift stick. Other stuff includes a remote starter, rear view cam, garage door opener, and telescoping mirrors.

It can be ordered as an F-250, F-350 or F-450 pickup. Your choice of the 6.7-liter Power Stroke® diesel engine or the 6.2-liter V8 gas engine.

Medicine:

Whatever you got, leave it at home.

Last thing your date wants to find is genital wart cream or Prozac in the cup holder or glove box. Get rid of those roofies too, chicks don’t like roofies.

Price and Gas Mileage? High and Shitty. Next question.

Clothes:

Come on you slob, She doesn’t wanna see your balled up shirt or workout shorts in the back seat, let alone smell them.

2013 Audi RS-5 Convertible.

Simplistic and Sporty.

Porn: Come on, really? You pervert.

For the guy who wants a little more of sport inspired ride, the Audi RS-5 offers a meaty V-8 powerplant that churns out 450 horses and a 0-60 speed of 4.9 seconds.

Top speed sits at a respectable 155mph.

A 7-speed, dual-clutch transmission performs flawlessly in conjunction with AWD. With a price tag breaking the 114k mark, it won’t fit into everyone’s budget, especially mine, but for the money it does offer a pretty comprehensive package of performance and subtle luxury.

12 KnuckleDragger Magazine

Hair clips & other artifacts: If you have remnants of an old date in your ride, disperse quickly. Last thing your date wants to see is a pink scrunchy that’s not hers.

T E P N A MOF THE MONTH Malaysian King Cobra Welcome to the man pet of the month. No little dumbass toy dogs, or cats. Unless it’s a freaking tiger. (For the record, we don’t like cats or little yipper dogs) Just a side note guys, if you meet a chick that dresses her dog up, run.

This month’s pet is the Malaysian King Cobra. The world’s longest venomous snake just might have a place in your house, if you’ve got the balls to house a reptile that can grow up to 20 ft and take down an elephant. The King Cobra is a rather solitary snake with not too many instances of human attacks, most confrontations happen only if it’s startled or threatened. It would actually rather get away than to fight, but if it does decide to throw down…You can start crying before during or after it lays into you, because it probably won’t matter.

So, where can you buy one of these things? Right here in the burgh at a place called The Enclosure located in Holiday Park. They’ve been in the exotic animal game for over 15 years. I can’t lie, I was scared shitless when they put that massive ball of scary on the ground, all I was thinking “Don’t move

dude, or you’re gonna have a real fucked up night in about 10 minutes.” I stood strong and snapped the pick of our slithery buddy and we all lived to fight another day.

I’m sure there’s some licensing and what not you’d have to go through before you could actually buy this thing, but if you’ve got a boatload of extra cash, patience for red tape and paperwork, and an affinity for lethal animals that could eat your dog, give the king cobra a whirl. The Enclosure, 1820 Golden Mile Highway, Plum, PA 15239. 724-325-2363 And don’t tell em’ we sent you, I don’t want the liability if you lose a hand or sparkle goes missing.

EATS.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Lois: How would you like me to make your life a living hell?

Debbie Gates All American BBQ

Owner and head Chef, Dammion Bundridge, named the BBQ haven after his mom and offers an eclectic menu, at least in the barbecue realm. One of the more interesting specialties is there stuffed burgers. I had the super cheesy burger. A cheese filled slab o grade A beef, stuffed and surrounded with cheese. Monster burger with monster taste and a sack full of cheese. Other fan favorites are deep fried bacon, lemonade, and funnel cakes of course.

There’s something that I love, carnival food.

Now that we’re acquainted, let me tell you what I’m not too fond of, the Carnies that I’m subject to in order to acquire said food. They make feel kinda dirty... I’m missing part of my soul afterwards. Get away soul snatcher with game tickets. Well guys if carnies make you feel dirty, or you’re just not into walking around an outdoor version of Walmart, swing by a cool spot in Carnegie called Debbie Gates All American BBQ (DG). Located on E. Main St, DG offers a cool blend of BBQ and Carnival food that left me and Scott showing some sexy stomach cleavage.

28 KnuckleDragger Magazine

Overall Debbie Gates is a pretty chill spot. It reminds me of a couple BBQ places I’ve been to down south, not a lot of frills, but killer food. They also recently extended hours to 3am, so in case you wanna tie one on at a local bar, then eat ribs and funnel cakes, DG is the place to be. No carnies either. Score.

What we stuffed our faces with Slab of Ribs

Deep Fried Bacon

Funnel Cake

Homemade sauce, sweet and spicy goodness. Somebody get me a wet nap.

Bring a stretcher, or at least a treadmill to run on afterwards.

Need I say more, it’s yummy carnival food without all the shame of a carnival.

Super Cheesy Burger Loaded with cheesy flavor. Super Cheesy is an understatement.

Cheese Fries

Pulled Pork Sandwich Lemonade

Handmade with love and lemons.

Burgatory Who needs a confessional, just send me to Burgatory.

It’s not every day a restaurant can embody the feeling of eating really great food that’s most likely going warrant a trip to the gym immediately afterwards. Burgatory, a home grown burger joint with a little attitude, recently opened their third location in Robinson Town Center. They offer a unique epicurious experience of extreme religiosity…At least that’s the way I think Don King would explain it to me. And they get some extra bonus points for using all natural, hormone free meat.

So, you won’t have to worry about growing that tail anytime soon. For all you X-men wannabes, McDonald’s is right around the corner I’m sure.

Gut busting shakes, such as the campfire s’mores or monkey business could be a meal in itself.

Nevermind the fact that the straw is the size of a garden hose so you can get all the pieces graham cracker or pretzel without looking like you’re deep-throating a regular sized straw…Not a good look for a man. Burgatory is pure pleasure, and we all know that much pleasure ain’t gonna win you points on the Atkins diet, but they do serve chicken sandwiches, salads and some other calorie conscious dishes, so no need to run for the hills just yet gym goers. And don’t forget the beer.

Burgatory offers a full line of brews as well.

The atmosphere is fun and a bit dark, lot’s of fire, pitch forks, and old time writing on the walls…Like “thou shall eat thine burger with little remorse for thine belt buckle”. I do know one thing, if I ever to get stuck in between heaven and hell, I want to spend some time in a joint like this…God might have a hard time getting my fat ass up to the pearly gates, so I might be in trouble.

4. Just say the word. Voice activated popcorn launcher.

“Pop”. That’s all you have to say to have a piece of popcorn launched at you nowadays. Popcorn Indiana, based in New Jersey, came up with “The Popinator” a machine that reacts to the position of your voice and launches a single kernel of popcorn into your general area, catching it is the fun part. It’s obviously a cool novelty item, but it may have some practical uses. Video games, watching TV…or what guy hasn’t wanted a piece of popcorn during sex? No word on pricing jet. Hopefully The Popinator doesn’t start choking out toddlers that just started talking or Pittsburghers who say pop all the time when they want a cream soda Faygo.

MAN-CATION Destination: Scally’s Golf

38 KnuckleDragger Magazine

Since 1954 Scally’s Golf Center has been providing the area with tons of fun and turnkey dating solutions for the men of Pittsburgh.

If you venture out to Moon Township with your lady friend and you want an excuse to mount her from behind and show her how to swing, when we all damn well know that you’ll shank it 90 yards right 3 out of 4 times with no hesitation, then stop out and give this place a whirl.

Scally’s probably has the coolest location in Pittsburgh, as it sits right next to a landing strip for the Pittsburgh airport, so you can hit the driving range and catch a Birdseye view of the planes landing. Distracting, yes. But with my game, distractions probably help take my mind off of the golf carnage.

There’s also Par 3, putt putt, and batting cages. Oh, and don’t forget ice cream and other foods available inside.

Ashley

1. Don’t take it too serious, if you start throwing clubs and cursing because you suck at a sport that 95% of the population sucks at, she might get a little turned off.

2. Keep Directions light. She doesn’t really give a shit about her form, and neither do you, so just get behind her, make your move and tell her to keep her eyes on the ball…Nice job hun! You did it. Let’s make out.

3. Don’t let her win in putt putt: She’ll smell the pansy on you; you pansy…Kick her ass, if you can. Make it a friendly competition, but take no prisoners.

Most likely she’ll still win; women have some kind of weird putt putt gene. Teehee, I made it!

31 Street Studios st

Anne Hathaway is in Pittsburgh,

dressed in a catwoman suit. She was only 5 miles away from me. Forget about security, Batman and Bane. I think I coulda got through and had chance to sit down and explain why we should date for a few weeks. “See, Anne, my wife gave me a hallpass.” Anyway, there’s a reason that Anne was within stalking distance. That reason would be 31st street studios. Just in case you’re geographically challenged, or you’ve never left Butler County, it’s located on 31st in the strip district.

Chris Breakwell, President and CEO of 31ss, took a chance on the 300,000square ft warehouse after he ventured out west for about 6 years and decided to come back to sink his teeth into the movie making business “I wanted to be a good citizen and give back to Pittsburgh,” said Breakwell. His background of sports and entertainment management gave Chris an interesting perspective on the movie industry.

“I saw this as a great business opportunity, I’m not necessarily passionate about making movies, but it makes sense for this area.”

When we were there, they had just wrapped on Nickelodeon’s new hit show, Supah Ninjas. Other major films like Batman: The Dark Night Rises”, Abduction, Warrior, and the new 300 Million Dollar film, Jack Reacher were filmed there.

“We’re getting great support from the city of Pittsburgh, and every time we shoot a movie here, all of the stars say how much they love staying here,” said Breakwell. From my perspective, Chris took a huge leap of faith, but it wasn’t a blind one…

Paramount just signed on with a huge partnership for equipment support, and the plans for a restaurant are in motion for next year. Located right next to the studios helipad and on the river, it will be the only place to eat in the area that offers a stunning view of the city. Don’t worry; we’ll review next year for you all.

In the mean time, can anybody make a couple calls to get Scarlett Johansson or Christina Hendricks here for a few months? Chris, work on that for me.

Top 3 Quotes From Bane “When Gotham is in ashes… you have my permission to die.”
