Considering you’ve read the title and you’re still here, I imagine that you are open to change in terms of style. That’s good because the first thing I’m going to do is ask you to, for a moment, suspend your skepticism of sandals.
For some time now, sandals have been really frowned upon in men’s fashion circles, and not without good reason: a lot of us have bad memories (or pictures) of white socks with black nylon sandals and jeans. Mistakes were made. We know this, and we can move on...
Tired of spending hours mowing your lawn? Honda might have the answer with their Mean Mower V2, a 200hp lawnmower that goes 0-100mph in 6.29 seconds and has a top speed of 150mph. While it may not look like a traditional lawnmower, it can still cut grass and can allegedly do so at speeds up to 50mph – just think of all the time you would save. Unfortunately, Honda is not expecting to bring it to mass market. At an estimated cost of over $120,000/mower, we can’t say we blame them.

It’s no secret that first round draft picks get paid serious money, and this year was no exception. The 2021 NFL Draft added 32 new players to the league in the first round, and even the 32nd pick is set to make $11.2 million. Each rookie gets a 4 year contract, and the total contract value is split out between a signing bonus and yearly salaries. The difference of a few picks can mean the difference in millions of dollars in contract value for the rookies. We compiled a list of all the...
Did you hear about the crop duster who turned out being worth $18 Billion and the 4th richest person in the United States?
John T. Walton was born in Arkansas, October 8th, 1946. He was a star football player in High School, but then dropped out of College to play the flute and join the U.S. Army. During the Vietnam War John was a Green Beret who went on to win the Silver Star for bravery.
John came back from the war and learned to fly, first being a corporate pilot, and then crop...
Once a year, people from all over the world gather at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucester, England for the annual cheese rolling competition. The sport involves a 200 yard hill, trained athletes, and rounds of Double Gloucester cheese rolling at speeds up to 70mph. The goal is relatively simple: catch the cheese. The event starts by sending a 7-9 pound roll of cheese down the hill. After the cheese has a one second head start, competitors chase the cheese. The first person to catch the cheese, or...
Very few NFL quarterbacks have the opportunity to compete in a Super Bowl, and even fewer actually win one. From that select group of Super Bowl winners, an even smaller group of QB’s have won multiple. We compiled a list of these QB’s and ranked them from fewest wins to most.

Reaching speeds of over 2400mph (Mach 3.2), the SR-71 “Blackbird” has cemented itself in history as the fastest plane in the world. It was so purpose built that the plane actually leaked fluid when it wasn’t flying, as the connections and hoses were designed to perform in high heat/high stress applications where they would expand and seal. The USAF could reportedly only fly each plane once per week since maintenance and repairs after each flight were so extensive. Even with these...
Every man needs their space. To relax, to play, to just get away from the stresses of life. The common theme seems to be plenty of dark woods and leather that are welcoming to sit down with a drink. Beyond those basics some individual personality can be injected based on your interests. Build your man cave around your car collection, pool tables, large screen to watch the game... the options are endless. Sit back with your drink to enjoy these man caves that seem inviting. Click the...
We have all seen pictures and even visited these large airplane graveyards where we're overwhelmed. Expansive spaces usually in dry remote areas that have planes parked time next to each other row after row. It is part mind blowing, historic, nostalgic, and that's before you even start adding up the dollars spent on these planes. Many are mothballed for possible reservice, some are kept intact for parts supplies, and others are just waiting their turn to be scrapped.
So this isn't just...
Who would be crazy enough to buy a decommissioned Titan II missile complex? ...stay tuned, we known someone that did!
The Titan II was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) carrying the largest single warhead of any American ICBM. Standing 103 feet tall and weighing a colossal 330,000 pounds, it had a range of up to 9,300 miles away. The warhead for the Titan II was the W-53 with a final developed yield of 9 megatons (3x times the explosive power of all the bombs used during...
Here is another great activity for us Middle-Aged Men. Shooting clay targets with a shotgun! The sport is as old as shotguns themselves, but has really become popular the last several years with Sporting Clays. Instead of just shooting from a few places with a few target looks, Sporting Clay course designers get creative with 12+ stations and multiple targets at each. The idea is to simulate different live bird looks (or even rabbits) as much as possible. Almost every community even in...
So you are a farmer, it is middle of winter, you are bored, you are skilled mechanically, and you have a large pasture. What to do? How about creating a punkin (pumpkin) chunkin (chunking) machine? :D These machines can vary from catapults to gas powered, either way various gords can go flying up to a mile! Listed World Record Punkin Chunkin. There is danger involved, in 2016 two people were hurt and another woman critically injured when a compressed air chunker failed.
Accidents are...
What can you do if drinking beer and fishing at the same time, but you don't want to put your beer down? Jake Rutledge had that problem and solved it by creating the Chill-n-Reel. Through extensive scientific research, testing, and eventually obtaining a patent Jake ended up with the perfect beer koozie and fishing reel combination.
Okie edgenuity at its best. We already knew the serendipity of drinking beer and fishing, but now it is even more harmonious.
