When you have a son in America, one should consider the question: To snip or not to snip? Because while the rest of the Western world may be largely post-circumcision, in the U.S. it’s still more common to be circumcised than not. In fact, according to the...
“Laser tattoo removal feels like burning oil straight from the frying pan,” says Marcus Lundqvist, a heavily-tattooed friend of mine (with an epic collection by world-famous tattooers). “I hate it.” Lundqvist knows what he’s talking about, since he’s currently suffering through the process of removing several regrettable...
I’ve heard more than a few times that “your wife has the patience of a saint.” While it’s true that my wife is pretty patient, people have only said this to me because I happen to own a ridiculously huge collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles memorabilia,...
Modern adult life all but requires us to borrow money for something or other, and your credit score is getting ever more important. It may one day literally determine your social standing and which friends you hang out with, as with what’s happening in China right now....
If we’re to believe the results that come up with a Google search, the phenomenon of becoming a cantankerous old fart as you age is exclusively a male problem (you’ll notice there is no female equivalent of the 1993 Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon classic, Grumpy Old...
It happens all the time: You throw a big party; buy all the booze you could possibly need; the evening is a wild success; everyone goes home happy (well, okay, somebody drunk-dials their ex and someone else throws up in a cab, but almost everyone goes home happy);...

Sure, you care about the environment, but, hey, you’re just one guy, so, what can you do? You can’t afford a clean air vehicle, so you’re sticking with burning up those dinosaur bones to get around. You’d like to volunteer your time to scrub oil off of...
At first, the idea of keeping a file on one of your coworkers (say, screenshotting Slack conversations and saving emails) seems childish and a bit insane — after all, your life isn’t a Soviet era spy novel. But if you consider that former FBI Director James Comey kept notes...
A couple of months ago, we shared a rather innocuous comic about running out of toilet paper while on the toilet: One Facebook user, however, was baffled that the man in the comic had his pants around his ankles while on the commode, and his comment launched an uproarious...
Last week, a listener of Dan Savage’s hit advice podcast Savage Love called in with a dilemma that will sound all-too-familiar for any post-collegiate American male: A guy makes a dude friend in college, and their relationships revolves primarily around partying, trying to meet women and making...
