THE GREATEST BURGER EVER
And it’s not even beef. It’s (gasp) Turkey.

The Golden Rule needs an upgrade.
A Step above the Ethic of Reciprocity
(Please excuse the following bit of what might seem slightly cheesy.)
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, not only never happens anymore, but due to its infrequency of execution it has become insufficient.

Bangs are back. And that’s bad
I’ve noticed the proliferation of bangs over the last few months and could not understand it at all.

It doesn’t get better, than the classic Pinup.
Thank you Vanity Fair. Thank you very much.
The have never been more beautiful women on this planet, than during the golden age of the pin-up model. I do not mean to objectify or imply that I believe women are just fun things to look at, no… quite the opposite. Sorry Fellas, but usually, they’re smarter [...]
