Two interesting pieces came on my radar this weekend. I’m not about to give up meat entirely, but it has become less and less of my diet of late, and after my birthday early next month, I’m probably going to end up cutting it out almost entirely for a couple of months while I work [...]

When forced to pick between crazy imbicilic cretin or white rapping fucknuckle, I always go with the creepy hillbilly mutant grown from DNA harvested from one of Paul Lynde’s turds. Attraction is not a choice.

A few of you have expressed some concern about my recent fascination with the pick-up and seduction community. Thank you for your healthy skepticism. I will say this: for as many good tips and advice I am discovering, I am finding just as many cases of pathetic armchair Casanovas.
