In an ideal world, college will open your mind to many wonderful, disparate things, but the thing that’ll stick with you longest, in all likelihood, is being able to shotgun a beer. A chugging technique especially common within fraternity housing (and quite possibly Florida), it essentially allows...
As an old, washed-up rockstar drunkenly hissing into the microphone might say: This one’s for the fans. Recently, Mark, an apparently devout reader, wrote to us on Facebook asking for some advice on how to deal with a leaky coworker: “How can I contact Andrew Fiouzi? I have...
Nothing screams, “Take me, I’m yours,” quite like a newly replenished office supply closet. Or the freshly stocked snack cabinet, spilling over with every energy bar flavor you didn’t even realize existed. For reasons that have everything to do with the fact that they’re free and that no...

Tattoos are extremely polarizing: Some people (like — full disclosure — me) can’t get enough of them, while others still believe tattooing is a “demonic craft” (no, really).
