Not sure if you should wear that Tommy Bahama shirt out tonight? The magnificent bastard is here to help. Go ahead. Ask away.

Relax, big spender, we want your knowledge, not your credit card info. If you know about something you think we should know about, let us know (so we can then pretend that we knew about it all along.) Send a tip.

  • Welcome to the 3rd Annual Allyn Scura Eyewear Challenge, sponsored by our all-time favorite eyewear and sunglass outfitter, Allyn Scura.

    The challenge: Identify the nine bespectacled or sunglassified MBs above and you will be entered to win a pair of Allyn Scura frames ($175 value) — like The Legend favored by reigning People "Sexiest Man Alive" Bradley Cooper — or a $100 credit you can apply toward any vintage frames Allyn Scura carries. It's entirely up to you.

    To enter simply email editor@magnificentbastard.com with the names of the men pictured, and in the unlikely event of a tie — this is the hardest contest yet — what they all have in common. One entry per email address. Good luck. The deadline for this contest is next Friday, March 9th.

    Earlier: Bradley Cooper in a pair of Allyn Scura Legends with A-list-only blue lenses.

    Update: Ben Aitkin correctly identified the MBs pictured above. Top to bottom, left to right:

    Frank Lloyd Wright
    Spencer Tracy
    Orson Welles
    Gene Wilder
    Bob Ueker
    Chris Farley
    Steve Miller
    Les Paul
    Willem Dafoe

    He also got the tiebreaker correct (along with a bunch of other fellas): They were all born in Wisconsin.

    What the others not do was get their name randomly picked from a Super Bowl XLV hat. Congrats Ben. Enjoy your new glasses from Allyn Scura.
