I was just realized that men call their spandex cycling shorts…”spandex” and women will call them “tights.” …and I think I know why! Check this out, if you’re a dude, wearing tights/spandex is emasculating already. So men will look for ways to make the item sound less lady like and more manly. It’s kinda like…
As the rain descends upon us again(we need all we can get), I chose a darker drink more aptly suited for a dreary day. This drink is 9.5%, which is the strongest Porter I’ve had. Like other Porters it has an initial mouthfeel that’s thin, despite it looking like a small tar pit. Zywiec claims…

Last night was the world premiere of Knight Rider…man it was bad ass! Anyhow, I couldn’t help talk about how much I loved shows like The A-Team, CHiP’s, Hardcastle and McCormick, Duke’s of Hazard, and the like. Well that got me remembering about all the different 80’s bicycle related commercials that I would see while…
