Go For The Belly Flop Body This Summer

As we find ourselves approaching summer, and beach season soon to be in full effect, you may notice that your local gym has been filled up lately. Year after year, people panic over their winter hibernation weight and begin hitting the gym to get into beach body shape. Didn’t have the time or the will for the gym? Err on the other side and go for the perfect Belly Flop Body. As an employee in the vacation industry I have become quite the expert on Belly Flops. Belly flops sound simple. Who hasn’t tried to do a beautiful swan dive and ended up in an ungraceful belly flop at some point in their lives? But like with most... Read More

Let's start off this review by saying something we never thought we would say: this eReader is sexy. After using an original Nook and an old-school Sony Reader PRS-505 for most of my eBooking life, picking up the Kobo Aura just felt...right. Is that a weird way to start the review? Probably. But if you end up buying one, you'll know what we mean. Now, with that out of the way, let's get down to business. The Kobo Aura eReader USB Cable Manual The $149 Kobo Aura doesn't have as much name recognition as the Nook or Kindle line, but it does keep pace with it's more well-known competitors. The Aura comes with a 6-inch screen with a resolution of... Read More

Did you ever wonder where the image in our "Throwback Friday" logo comes from? Well, if you don't already know then you'll find out in this weeks edition: it's the leprechaun from Mobile, AL. In March 2006, residents of Mobile, Alabama started claiming that they had a leprechaun in their neighborhood. The local NBC affiliate, WPMI, sent a team out to investigate. The video really took off due to two things: The amazing interviews with the local leprechaun hunters. The best amateur sketch in the history of journalism. The Follow-up The video went viral and was featured on the New York Times website, Tosh.0, Key and... Read More

You may not know Melissa Sander's name, but you probably know her as the Grape Stomper, the Grape Lady, or the Grape Lady Epic Fall Girl. Those names are in reference to a viral video that first appeared on YouTube in January of 2006 and became one of the most famous "fails" caught on camera. The original clip aired on the WAGA-TV local news station in Atlanta, Georgia, and it shows Sander challenging another woman to a grape-stomping contest. Sander stops the race, but then decides to get a few extra stomps in after the contest is over. In true "cheaters never win" fashion, she loses her balance and falls face-first into the... Read More

I met a woman on a dating site and we hit it off really well, we have a lot in common. As a matter of fact, she assertively pursued me; she took the initiative in texting, calling and making dates, which I'm not used to at all. We've been dating for three weeks now. Though she is a very attractive physically, I find I'm actually attracted to her mind, she's smart, funny and caring. We've only gone as far as second base, I've not pressed the attack physically but have eagerly responded to her advances. Anyway, if y'all haven't guessed by now, I really dig this woman and there in lies the problem I think. Recently, during a romantic night, I... Read More

We just had the NHL Draft, and right about now Penguins fans are tucking themselves in for a long summer’s nap, with visions of the 46th pick dancing in their heads. Why the 46th? Once again, they traded away their first round pick without much to show for it (though at least this prevents them from drafting another puck-moving defenseman). I’m going to grade the players on their performance in the season that just ended and give my cherished thoughts on the exciting days ahead, all full of salary dumps and buyouts, and maybe even an exciting trade. Note: I was going to do this right after they were eliminated from the... Read More

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. (is that a Sauvignon Blanc stain under the sentence fragment of feedback? Did the professor think my name was “Hank” the whole semester?) The specter of summer jobs lingers. 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...
