The man cave is the one place where conventional design wisdom gets tossed out the window. Throw as much shag, as many antler horns and as many vintage knick knacks and bottles of booze as you want in there and it's always going to be cool. If you don't have a dedicated man cave, it's the office or the garage or wherever ... continue reading
We've seen grown men dive, climb and spill entire beers in an attempt to grab a foul ball. That's right, after shelling out a paycheck on a cup of tasteless beer, some of us have made the sound financial decision to trade it in for a ball used in a midseason Orioles vs Royals game. We can't explain our fascination ... continue reading

Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... continue reading
As a lighting source, we never found much use for candles. Why bother with a chance for fire, messy wax cleanup and/or potential pet hazards when recessed cans and a dimmer switch can give you almost the same mood lighting? Because candles inherently look cool, they work when the power is out and they're much cheaper ... continue reading
Slapping up wallpaper hasn't really been in style in quite some time. In fact, it went out of fashion about the same time the last good Star Wars movie was made. (Jar Jar Binks, really?! . . . Okay, we swear, we're over it.) We say, why not bring the two classics back and show off our love of the dark side while ... continue reading
Man cannot live on beer alone. Trust us we've tried, we were left with a throbbing headache, a noisy stomach and somehow our pants strung from a tree in our front yard. This is especially true when entertaining a lady friend, cooking up Fresh Cod en Papillote becomes surprisingly less romantic with cans of PBR. Unless ... continue reading
Next to "The Wheels on the Bus" and "Don't Stop Believin'," "99 Bottles of Beer" is one of the few songs that every man has in his repertoire. You take one down and pass it around, but then what? What happens to those ninety-nine bottles once they've been emptied of all their delicious nectar? Most of us would probably ... continue reading
Decorating the walls of your less-than-humble abode is no easy task. Even if you just paint them a shade of your favorite color you're looking at around $200 for the tiniest of jobs and that doesn't include the cost of labor. Once you factor in the labor (along with the paint, rollers, multiple coats and all the pizza ... continue reading
Lets face it, there comes a time in every man's life when he just wants to put a hole in the wall. Your weapon of choice might be a fist or it might be a sledgehammer, but it happens. Some men act on it which inevitably leads to time-consuming drywall repair and paint matching. Even if you're one of those "cooler heads ... continue reading
There is a chance that if you live in the city you may only be able to fit one of these pillows on your bed. In NYC a closet is pricey and your bed may leave your feet hanging off the edge every night like you came home drunk and randomly belly-flopped down. That being said, even if you don't live in the city ... continue reading

Two things that consumed most of our youth are skateboards and big, fat pieces of chalk. The skateboard was obvious - we rode it because we were boys and we enjoyed skinned knees and asking, "Did I get air?" The chalk was mainly for creating games that either existed already, like Four Square (not the check-in ... continue reading
Sewer and manhole covers get a bad rap. Yeah, they're generally gross and disgusting, but they also serve as a barrier between all the shit below (literally) and you. It should go without saying, but also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While traveling, one ingenious couple photographed manhole covers from all over the ... continue reading
Like it or not, almost all men have desks. it could be an actual desk you're chained to from 9-5 or a converted dining room table, but it exists. It starts clean (sometimes), but by the time the end of the day rolls around, it's probably once again filled with papers, soy sauce and ketchup packets, pens and a slew ... continue reading
To us Batman would be the ultimate spokesperson. Seriously if he’s got it, we want it. The Dark Knight could endorse the Shake Weight and we’d find merit in the damn thing. We want his ride, we want all the toys in his belt and now we want this Bat Mirror as well. Kind of like Bruce Wayne the mirror can appear ... continue reading
For the last few decades designers have spent plenty of man-hours erasing the pixelated memories of the games we played on Atari and Intellivision. This is a good thing; we’d rather play a game of Madden where you can make out the area code written on some running back’s eye-black then see a square running down ... continue reading
