A green, ceramic BBQ/smoker. I am intrigued. [Big Green Egg]
It’s a fine morning here at the Dethroner HQ Secret Lair Mountain Fortress God Damn Bedroom as we hit the hump of this week’s theme, Fall Fashion. We have a slight problem, however: You are all huge pussies.

Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays

Share ThisWurkin Stiffs collar stays are metal, keeping your shirt collar pointy, but also in place when you slip the attached neodymium magnets underneath your shirt.
