• A Toilet Seat With A Handle!? Brilliant!

    Until you think about it. Have you ever seen one of these? I did for the first time this evening. I thought to myself “That’s absolutely brilliant! Nobody wants to touch where everyone’s butt has been!” And then I got to thinking… Every other guy who saw this likely thought the same thing and therefore used it with a big smile on their face.…

  • Another Fitocracy Challenge Win

    I could have sworn I previously mentioned Fitocracy on here, but a quick search tells me I’m wrong. Well, a brief explanation of what it is is clearly in order.

  • I’m An Adult Now

    As I write this, I hover somewhere around 40,000 feet over the Atlantic en route to Florida. The trip is unexpected, I will not be tanning on the beach, and it comes at a most inopportune time, but with adulthood comes such responsibility. My grandmother had a fall and while in relatively good shape for someone in their eighties who spent a few days…
