Industrial gas pipe is the LEGO of our adult years. Unlike LEGO, you don't need thousands of pieces to make anything functional, gas pipe is a lot harder to step on and it looks a whole lot cooler. And while you could certainly spend a bunch of time and money at the hardware store picking up parts and building a desk ... continue reading
Keeping a scorecard at a ballgame is a lost American tradition. Now we go to the Bronx or Fenway and are too busy double-fisting $15 beers to be jotting down notes.

While waiting in the insanity that is a line at Starbucks, you'll be tempted with many things to buy. You're like Odysseus avoiding the songs of the Sirens, only these Sirens are mostly unattractive and sing horribly off-key. You can probably pass up the jars of tea, emblazoned French presses, and Kind bars, but every ... continue reading
Sneaking booze into sporting events and concerts is a no-no. That said, we're not ones to pay $15 for a cup of warm Bud Light and wait in line for an hour while missing the damn event we came to see.

Construction site rebar that's hand-bent in 'Merica (A not necessary in this case), then sealed and coated to prevent rust, corrosion and you messing up the sweet fur coat ... continue reading
We can’t help the fact that we’re sometimes attracted to bright, shiny objects. It’s why we do occasionally judge a book by its cover, and it’s also why we may order a beer we don’t know based on the really awesome tap handle associated with it. This doesn’t happen all the time, but we’re pretty sure it would be hard to pass up the suds coming from these guys. ... continue reading
We've all got that friend who, on game night, shuffles like he lost his thumbs in woodworking class. Cards are spilling out everywhere and all of a sudden it's turned into a game of 52-Pickup.

We like fancy drinks. Correction: We love fancy drinks. Acquiring them from a fancy bartender with a mustache that makes us weak in the knees with envy is an easy, albeit pricey, process, but making them ourselves is a whole different story. It doesn't matter how many books we collect on the subject, or how many gadgets ... continue reading
