We’ve all got baggage, some more damaging than others. Sometimes your baggage remains hidden to the outside world, known only to your therapist or failed romantic conquests. Other times, you wear it right on your face. Dark bags or circles under your eyes can make you look...
Sometimes the smell from your trip to the toilet is so terrible that it could be used as a weapon of mass destruction. Unfortunately, other than changing your diet—e.g., decreasing the amount of meat in your diet—there’s not much you can do about the odor of your...
You can’t throw a rock lately without hitting a restaurant that hasn’t jazz-handed its menu with a massaged kale salad or shaved Brussels sprouts with squeezed lemon and pecorino cheese. That shit is everywhere. Not that kale and Brussels sprouts don’t taste great. They do, but they’re...
Your testicles house the equipment that allows you to procreate and retain your masculine characteristics through the production of testosterone. But instead of getting the credit they deserve, they always seem to take a backseat to your hot-dogging penis. They’re like the offensive line of your anatomy—doing...
