I've driven across the United States several times in my life. Even with all the comforts of modern technology, it has never been a pleasant experience. Hours upon hours on desolate roads and bad radio stations; the road really does go on forever when making the trek from the beaches of the West Coast to the mountains of the East Coast. ...more.7 ways we’ve tried to quit smoking (and why they haven’t worked)

I quit smoking this week. Smokers who have quit or tried to quit know that it puts you on edge for a week or two. I'd sink a boat full of kittens with a hand grenade if Joe Camel asked me to right now. I’m sorry, I love kittens and nautical vessels, so I shouldn’t take it out on them. It’s my own fault. Dumb habit to start and a terribly difficult habit to kick; I’ve tried several time ...more.8 ways you’ll ruin a bachelor party

Bachelor parties are an essential part of male bonding. It’s a last chance for all of your buddies to tell you that you are making the single hugest mistake in the history of time. So it’s important that everybody be comfortable and have a good time. That goes double for the groom because it’s probably his last night of free-wheeling fun until the ink dries on the divorce papers (it’s ...more.9 ways to get your Man Card revoked in 2010

There have been countless other lists and websites compiled about Man Code; however, most seem a little dated at this point in time. So I give to you a few updated amendments to “The Code." Now I am not saying that all of these actions will automatically get your Man Card revoked, but they are a few issues that shall soon need to be addressed in the Court of Man. ...more.The 8 stages of beer drinking

The other day, I was talking to a buddy about our college days. We remembered the good old days when we could get up at 10 am and drink beer until early the next morning. Sadly, we are getting old and can barely make it to Jimmy Fallon these days, but that got us to thinking about the past and how much beer is enough to really get you in trouble. ...more.10 reasons men love to play video games

Bosses usually suck to some extent. They’re always driving fancy cars or telling you that faxing a picture of your butt to a co-worker is against company policy. That’s just crazy talk. Everybody loves getting an ass fax, regardless of local laws or threats of sexual harassment lawsuits. ...more.7 ways to be obnoxious while exercising

We all try to exercise in some capacity. Some choose to get fit in the great outdoors, while others enjoy the comfort of a weight room or gymnasium.

I have a hat that I got in a truck stop in Alabama that states, “I spend my money on booze, women and gambling. The rest I waste.” The hat made an excellent point. Men have a tendency to sometime waste money. The hat was different. It was the best $3.99 I ever spent. The hat got many compliments as I made my way home from Tuscaloosa. My girlfriend at the time thought the hat was the dumbes ...more.7 cars from 80s film and TV that you wanted to own as a kid

I was on Hulu the other day and ran across this clip from a show from the SPEED channel, where they were selling one of the cars used in one of my all-time favorite films “Ghostbusters.”I can’t tell if Ernie Hudson comes with the car…or maybe drives it around to bust ghosts with you on the weekends--either way, if I had the disposable income, I would buy this car.

Look, I should first say that I don't have any problem with internet pornography or adult film actresses. There is a very substantial list of reasons why dating a porn actress would possibly be one of the most awesome things to happen in your life.

Guys like things. We often work very hard to acquire these things. Guys shop with purpose. We go shopping for items that make our living space more comfortable and more importantly, we are shopping for things that will make other guys envious. However, sometimes we have a tendency to buy items that make it more difficult for us to leave or places of residence.

With cars and airplanes and iPhones, it seems that the world we live in just keeps getting better and brighter (with the exception of a fledgling world economy, countries with less of a GNP than Apple, adult onset diabetes, cancer, US Magazine, Swine Flu, etc). But that’s not always the case when you really think about it.

The inevitable is happening folks. Marijuana is taking the very slow and cautious steps to legalization. It’ll start with California, then other states will see the money it brings in and follow suit. Then as a majority of states legalize it and it becomes too difficult to prosecute from state to state, marijuana will be federally legalized. ...more.What your New Year’s Eve booze says about you

Holiday TV specials are a December staple. It’s the entire reason they made stop-motion claymation. Some specials simply play some old songs and throw a few reindeer, some elves and by the time Santa shows up, they call it a day.
