Men, take note. We all have a list of things that annoy us about the opposite sex. Here are a few common things that men do that women really hate: Send one word or one letter texts: Nobody likes to receive a one word text message, but here’s why it’ll actually get men into trouble: When a woman sends a “k,” she’s actually sending a “whatever, asshole.” When a man sends a “k,” he’s actually sending a “k.” Unfortunately, women interpret this message the same way they would interpret theirRead More

This one goes out to anyone who is living in an American city that is being overtaken by invaders from the planet Hip; this is for the lonely, who haunt dark corners of mainstream venues secretly watching their favorite unfortunately popular bands; this is for the silent casualties of fashion, who actually want more than a single gear on their bike because it’s freakin’ easier to get up those hills; this is for the few of us who eat GMO food and never talk about it; this is for theRead More

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Martin Luther King day, and that you are all lucky enough to have the day off of work and school. As we celebrate the joy of a three day weekend, though, it is important that we remember to honor the man for whom this day exists. Here are ten of my favorite Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotations. I’ve left a few of the more obvious ones out, in hopes that some of these may be new to you. Enjoy, and remember one ofRead More

Hold all the sequels, reboots and feature length pornos, there’s only one reason to get excited about going to the movies this year.  And that reason still has a long way to go before it roundhouse kicks its way onto the silver screen. Last month, the internet got a taste of what may be the greatest ’80s cop movie of all time.  Fans of kung fu action, dinosaurs, machinegun toting Vikings, time travel, explosions, arcade robots, Nazi butt-kicking, and gravelly cop voices drooled over the trailer for “Kung Fury,” directorRead More

Since we endured a polar vortex recently, and it was a refreshing -30 degrees F here, I felt that it was fitting to write an article on the highest rated winter boots on the market. I also wanted to clarify what to look for and the quality of different boots before you went and made a final purchase. We still have a lot of snow days ahead of us this year, so you might as well be prepared for the worst! There are many factors that contribute to the qualityRead More

Since we endured a polar vortex recently, and it was a refreshing -30 degrees F here in Michigan, I felt that it was fitting to write an article on the highest rated winter boots on the market. I also wanted to clarify what to look for and the quality of different boots before you went and made a final purchase. We still have a lot of snow days ahead of us this year, so you might as well be prepared for the worst! There are many factors that contribute toRead More

1. All of your friends are getting married. All of your friends are wild and single. You can’t win. You feel surrounded by the friends who, a) got married so young that you question why you aren’t getting married, or, b) by friends who are so ambitiously single that you question the relationship you are in. 2. You have money, but not a lot of money. You’re out of college and making some dollars. But those dollars run out scary fast when you start shopping for two. Plus, life insurance,Read More

If you found yourself packed into the multiplex these past couple weeks (and chances are you have, considering the Hoth-like temperatures sweeping most of the nation), then you may have noticed a theme in the sampling of previews.  Big budget trailers usually showcasing the latest feature-length Marvel commercial or Michael Bay vehicle have taken a decidedly spiritual turn. Get ready for a year of biblical proportions.  Over the next 11 months, Hollywood is planning to churn out more Biblical fair than in the last 11 years combined.  This seems likeRead More

I’m cold, you guys. OK. Yes. It’s warmer than it was last week but I’m still going to complain because it’s January and there is a lot of winter left on the horizon.  If you’re in California and warm — but hopefully not on-fire warm — then you’re not invited to my circle of self-pity and I’m not talking to you. For the rest of us, here is a tasty, wintertime way to drink alcohol, so we don’t lose all will to live when it’s April and still snowing inRead More

Time for the NFL’S final four. Championship Sunday. And shockingly, the four teams thought to be the best back in August are still standing. Broncos-Patriots, and Seahawks-Niners. Let’s do this. I sucked majorly last week going 0-3-1, but hey, nobody’s perfect. All of the games except for the smackdown the Patriots laid on the Colts could have easily gone the other way, as far as the spread is concerned, SO I’M OKAY WITH IT AND DON’T MAKE FUN OF ME. As always, these are not predictions on who will WIN the gamesRead More

Alright dudes, listen up. If you’re older than a college freshman and not in a fraternity, then it’s time you man the hell up and stop drinking Keystone Light, Natty Ice, and PBR. Actually, let’s go a step past that: start having some damn class – no more Bud Light, Coors Light, or Corona either. Get into microbrews, get into imports, and start acting like a cultured MAN instead of some frat dudebro who thinks drinking Corona is getting classy. It isn’t and it never will be. BUT, just becauseRead More

It’s weekends like this upcoming one that make being a sports fan wonderful. In one game, you’ve got two of, if not THE two greatest quarterbacks of all time fighting for a chance at one more ring to help finish cementing their legacies. In the other, you’ve got two of most exciting and dynamic young quarterbacks in the game, eager to begin creating theirs. It’s also worth noting that the four remaining teams were by most accounts, the favorites to make it this far at the beginning of the season,Read More

If you’re reading this, hopefully you’re a child of the same era as I am. I was born in 1990. I am 23. And the following things make me nostalgic-as-hell for the good ol’ days of my youth. So, grab a box of Kleenex, turn on some Lit or Sugar Ray, sit on your bean-bag chair, and reminisce on the days when things were truly golden.   The appropriate music for viewing this article: #5 – Wall Ball I don’t give one single fuck how mature and cultured you thinkRead More

Happy Wednesday, bros. Here’s a smokin’ snowbunny from Switzerland, who you’ll probably see on the podium next month. Meet Olympian Lara Gut.   -Lara Gut- Twitter: @laragut Website: www.laragut.ch Known for: Being a badass Olympic athlete. -Lara Gut is every reason you need to watch Alpine Skiing in the Sochi Olympics this February. Her flying down the mountain at 80 mph on skis is the first reason. Her in a spandex speed suit is a very close second. With Lindsey Vonn out for the Games, Lara is not just theRead More
