Will the Italian chest rug ever be in again?


This is Part 2 in the Gangstas & Hugs “Man Grooming Series”. Part 1, last week’s post about male grooming, was inspired by this Fark story and discussion thread. Since I wrote it, the discussion on that particular Fark thread got pretty in depth, with proponents of both the Tom Selleck look and [...]

The Manscaping Quandary


I was inspired by Canadian journalist Patrick White’s body grooming misadventures to tell a little of my own story about back hair and Robin Williamsesque fuzziness. This is the first installment in what will come to be known as “The Man Grooming Series”.
First, let’s set the stage. I’m a hairy guy. Not [...]

Why planning for fun sucks


AnonymousCoworker just wrote a post about how his summer social schedule has already filled up and it makes him feel all douchey when someones asks him if he wants to hang out Friday night and he has to pull up his calendar.
This got me to thinking. I feel the same damn way. Specifically, [...]

SNL: If You Don’t Have the Money, Don’t Buy It


I don’t know about you, but this video really struck a cord for me. At first it was a difficult concept to grasp. But then I realized that if you don’t have the money to buy something, hoping you’ll have the money later doesn’t mean you will. Take my college education for example. […]

The ‘Blogging Too Close to Home’ Quandary


I was reading JJ’s post about how blogging is a fucked up hobby, and it got me to thinking: how much do I really want to say? Well, that’s kind of a moot point because I’ve already said more than enough on a couple of occasions. Here’s what JJ said that got me [...]

Diaper Rash


I had to look twice, and that was twice two many times, before I realized this was real. I was playing around with Frappr yesterday (that sounds nasty by itself don’t it) and found this group called Diaper Lovers (nsfw). I thought it was a joke at first, but it’s real. Know how I know?

So be careful when you click on that link, especially if you’re at work.

Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Smoke


First of all, I don’t smoke. I hate the smell, I hate the smell it leaves on people’s breath, and I hate how it makes your hair and clothes stink if you go out. But, and this is a big but, there are several reasons why one should smoke and I’m going to lay the top ten for you:

Diamonds From Sierra Poop-on


It happens every year. Commercials for diamonds inundate us with reminders of how much they show our love for our women. It’s the same thing year after year: commercials show up and make us real blokes look like shmucks for not buying our ladies 1.5 carat diamond rings or pendants. It’s the same with Valentine’s Day too.
