Whether you're an ass man or a boob man, there are few ways you can display your love of a certain female body part without looking like a horny creeper. Go ahead, invite a woman [...]

Admit it, somewhere in your closet is an Ab Rocker or a P90X DVD or—god forbid - a Shake Weight. We wanna be fit and we happen to be suckers for a well-designed ad campaign ("Who cares if it [...]

If you watch Game of Thrones or read the books (why don't you brag about it?), part of you kinda wants to hang with Tyrion Lannister and knock back a few chalices of red wine [...]

To get something out of the way, fat, drunk, and stupid is most certainly a way to go through life. You might not remember a lot of it, but you can be sure you enjoyed [...]

It's amazing that Snoop remembers the lyrics to all his tracks when he's on stage. Even with countless performances, including a bunch on the aptly titled "Up in Smoke Tour," we'd have to imagine all those j's would eventually [...]

We'll assume this is the unofficial cookbook for Mad Men since the official version would most likely begin with "Hand book to wife."  Since Don Draper, his midday boozing buddies and Joanie's assets invaded our [...]

Ten years ago, graffiti wasn't the artistic behemoth it is now. Reserved for rail cars and dilapidated buildings in need of a good tagging, it wasn't considered gallery worthy. Banksy helped change all of that and now [...]
