As guys, we have a hard enough time picking out a gift that's not something we discretely want for ourselves let alone a card that displays our "emotions." Instead of giving some canned card with a [...]

If you don't have the reminders on your phone set for at least 2 weeks out - or your Mom hasn't called you to remind you yet - you probably don't have a Father's Day [...]

SPOILER ALERT:  Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father.  Okay, that might be the most unnecessary spoiler alert ever (aside from ruining the ending of Titanic) but chopping off your son's hand, leaving him for dead and [...]

As guys, we don’t know the first thing about presenting a gift.  We usually load up on Dollar Store gift bags, jam a few pieces of crumpled up tissue paper in there along with the [...]

Here’s a little secret:  No guy likes Valentine’s Day.  Some will say they think it’s sweet or they like to show their wife/girlfriend how much they mean, well you know what – bullshit.  With all [...]

“Icon” is not a term we toss around lightly.  To get labeled as such you’re going to have to have an edge about you, a standout-ness.  That’s why, while there are many kick-ass dudes we [...]

Moleskine is getting to the point that it's the ubiquitous notebook. The Scotch tape or Kleenex of the written word world. We're fine with that, but we need constant visible reminders about the important things [...]

We all know them, and unfortunately we all encounter them on an all-too-frequent basis. Douchebags.  No, not literal douchebags...if you're encountering the actual feminine hygiene product frequently, you are either a gynecologist or a creep. We're talking about the turds [...]

Sometimes it's hard for us tough guys to express our feelings, especially on mushy holidays like Valentine's Day. But even under the cold, metallic exterior of Robocop beats a warm heart. The message is simple, [...]

Valentine's Day is the ultimate Hallmark holiday. We don't know much about good ol' St. Valentine, but we're pretty sure giant red hearts, boxes of candy and sexy underwear wasn't what he was all about. [...]

Don't try too hard to be original and write some cheesy poem to let her know how you feel—stick to the classics. No, we're not talking Shakespeare sonnets here. (Would either of you even understand [...]
