Yes, he’s hit the age where guys start to think that growing a beard is somehow going to help with the middle-aged dewlap and maybe make him look a little younger. However, the inevitable grey always defeats this purpose. Just last week, some guy in our office (who’s not THAT old, but probably late 30s) shaved off his…

I suppose you could call it misconduct - he acted like a jerk, and probably knew that what he was doing was off-color and rude - but having partied with engineering students during my college days, it’s been my finding that a lot of the sciencey-type guys are completely clueless when it comes to interacting with…

Any guy who gets his physicians to openly lie about his weight,  chides women about theirs and won’t walk more than 100 feet is a free and open target for fat comments. 

Considering that going into “hostile” territory and putting your life in God’s hands is kind of the MO of the Christian missionary movement, this shouldn’t be considered a great surprise nor a great tragedy. He got his crowns and rewards (at least, according to his church pals). You’d think these people would be a…

I’m sure they’re also fond of bragging about all their daughters’ “boyfriends” as well. Ick. 

My first thought at seeing that photo was “oh please, show me the one taken a second later when that horse takes him down with a swift kick.” (My riding instructors always told us to never, ever approach a horse from the back.)

It’s huge with high school kids in my area (as is a small economy in the Juul trade - 18-year-olds buying and selling them for underclassmen.) I quietly confiscated three from my HS senior, after I told him numerous times that they look stupid and douchey. They’re also popular with people of all ages who use them with…

One of our neighborhood squirrels decided that my car engine was a really swell place to hide walnuts. I pulled out a good dozen, but one managed to roll onto the accelerator and nearly caused an accident. I live-trapped the remainder of the fall after that. 

There’s another Native American species called the fox squirrel that’s even larger than the grey (its fur is a combo of grey and red) but has still been overtaken by them. The only greys I don’t mind are the all-black variation; same obnoxious habits, but prettier. 

I used the Tale of Squirrel Nutkin as a cautionary lesson when my son was at a particularly obnoxious stage. He thought it was funny as hell. 

Grey squirrels are big fat bastids and have driven out many North American red squirrels as well. Our reds don’t have those sweet little ear tufts like the European ones, but they are still cuter and more Disney-like. They’re also hella destructive and I’ve had to evict more than one out of my house. 

Wow, thanks Mr. Man for explaining things to us dumb ladies who just get pregnant out of the blue, with no intervention from penises.

Wolverines are one of those kinds of animals that are iconic in certain areas, but you never really want to encounter one. I once saw a nature show about them in which a bear ran across one in the woods and high-tailed up a tree to get away from it. Even more fierce than badgers. Damn things will actually come after…

Agreed on all counts. If she should really go after someone on this, she should point the finger at every damn Republican who decided to use this incident as a way of getting back at the Democrats for Watergate. The fact that Bill Clinton had a loose dick was the worst-kept secret in politics at the time, and, hard as…

As far as the Stan Lee accusations go, old men being gropey assholes are standard issue at a lot of nursing homes (Although my strapping son had his ass grabbed a few times by the ladies in the home where he volunteered). Sad thing is, a lot of that behavior is a side-effect of Alzheimer’s. My friend’s dad was a…

One of those stores where attractive merchandising draws you in, compels you to buy and leaves you with a shitty product that doesn’t fit quite right and falls apart in six months (which is ok for cheap, trendy things but not for a damn $60 bra). As for male appeal, the fact that the place was perfumed like an old…

See how quickly their minds change when their 16-year-old daughter and her black boyfriend announce “we’re pregnant!”

So will all these life-lovin’ folks now be checking every used tampon and pad for signs of babies? 

My son is receiving his Eagle Scout award in a month, and one of the things you do is request greetings and accolades from political leaders, famous athletes, corporate gods, etc. Someone from the troop has already requested a Presidential letter, which is icky enough, but I can’t find more than one or two cabinet…

We went to the National Plowing Competition in Ireland that billed it as a “welly toss.” It had corporate sponsorship and everything and some of the competitors took it pretty damn seriously.
