A Guy's Rant: How To Lose A Toe In Ten Days

Our own Frank Babies has a unique avant-garde style to his writing, and we love it. We hope you do as well. Check out his story below as he describes "how to lose a toe in 10 days." Picture an idyllic summer cresting just over the horizon. Last minute final papers hastily dashed off and just as hastily returned.

Craigslist want-ads are perused. Lots of scam opportunities notable by the headline “NOT A SCAM” Some dude wants to meet hard... Read More

The gym's a crazy place, with lots of ways to pump up, slim down, throw out your back, and even decapitate yourself if you hit the bench press just right. The information overload is killer, and it's easy to to get mislead. Here are five ways you might get hustled a bit, and here's why. 1. High reps doesn't equal toned. A lot of guys want to look more toned than bulky (more on that later), and as a result, tend to think that the best way to that look is to go high rep with light weights. That's not exactly the case. Toned equals muscle minus fat, and the easiest way to up the former while dropping the latter is to do high... Read More

Shaving Like Your Grandpa - With A Safety Razor: Being a man means that I have some pretty strict requirements for my day to day activities. We already covered the shower protocol in a previous article, but now I want to move on to the second most important part of my morning routine: the shave. Real shaving has become nearly extinct. We can thank the same thing that brought us Valentine's Day and "Greeting Cards" - marketing. Nothing beats a wet shave with a safety razor, but unfortunately thanks to the big razor companies we think that the more blades a cheap plastic throwaway has, the better it is. And because we're...

Why do girls like guys with money? Is it security or just the love of a lavish lifestyle? -Chuck. Emily's Take: There are two types of woman that like a man with money. One type likes a man that shows off his money because it means that he'll spend lavish amounts of money on gifts for them. This relationship is usually more about obtaining status. This is not the type of woman that you want to date. The second type of woman likes a man that has money because it shows that he is ambitious and financially responsible. He has a good job and can provide for himself while saving money for bigger things. He can afford to take her out to... Read More

Before he was Dr. Huxtable and wearing outlandish sweaters, Bill Cosby was teaching me and a million other kids about reading, counting, and connecting the dots. Each morning I would be up and ready with my Picture Pages books for the day's lesson, while Cosby and "Mortimer Ichabod Marker" helped me out. The Background "Picture Pages" started on a local Pittsburgh children's show in 1974 with the "Picture Pages" puzzle booklets given away at a supermarket chain. It debuted as a national segment of the Captain Kangaroo show in 1978, in which Captain Kangaroo would do the lessons on his "magic drawing board". Later, the segments... Read More
