  • Buy More Experiences

    My wife and I have been on this kick of intentionally buying more “experiences” than gifts for the last year or two. We’ll get tickets to a show, Cardinals game, spend a day in STL, etc before we just buy each other “stuff”. This article from Time magazine confirms what we’ve found which is the…

  • Larry Bird Swag

    Next time someone you know uses the word swag, please show them this picture of Larry Legend. Post by SportsNation.

  • Manly Movie Quotes

    Fantastic list of manly movie quotes from Popular Mechanics. Now I’m going to have to re-watch a few of these gems. No surprise Clint makes a few appearances. Dirty Harry would be an easy choice off of here, but these were my favorites: #10: “This life’s hard, man, but it’s harder if you’re stupid.” #20:…

  • Please don’t forget your children

    Please don’t forget your children

    Um, yeah. We evidently need to remind parents to get their infants out of the car these days. But, I guess it’s Walmart so what do you expect I just can’t fathom how you could forget about any human being in your vehicle, let alone one you brought into this world.

  • Earhustle

    I used the word “earhustle” today and the person I was talking to loved that word. But, I had to give credit where credit was due to a previous coworker friend of mine! Made me miss all my former coworkers. 🙂 I was asked to use the word in a sentence, and I chose this:…

    Potatoes

    My wife teases me when I get 2 potato sides at a restaurant. But, really, it is the best vegetable. This photo is courtesy of the Men’s Humor facebook page.

    70th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima

    February marks the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima. I got to meet an Iwo Jima survivor at the National Museum of the Marine Corps 2 years ago. Pretty amazing experience meeting him and the museum is awesome. Image courtesy of the National Museum of the Marine Corps (an awesome museum BTW).

  • Best Ever = Joe Montana

    “Montana finished his own sentences…” Thank goodness somebody in the national media isn’t drinking the ESPN kool-aid. Montana is the best ever. Period. Great article by Bill Bender of The Sporting News on Montana’s greatness.

  • Pete Carroll Got Cute

    Pete Carroll got cute. No Beast Mode from the 1 yd line? Hahahahaha! Oh and it only took Brady 6 games to break Montana’s Super Bowl records which he set in only 4 games.

  • 1970 Chevelle SS

    1970 Chevelle SS

    The year was 1970, gas cost about 35 cents a gallon, and the muscle car wars were peaking. Then, some frickin’ geniuses at GM decided to slam a 454 big block into these beautiful SS Chevelles. I’m sure they all sat around and let out a big Tim Taylor grunt thinking about all that horsepower.…
