I grew up wearing the FotL white briefs, switched to cotton boxer briefs for awhile (but they rode up my legs so much I couldn't stand it), then made the switch to plain ol' boxers in my late 20s. My preferred brands: Old Navy or Gap, hopefully with some hula girls or an insect pattern on 'em.

THANK you all for this thread. Its hard to find a good multitool that isnt just a copy of every other multitool ever. (WTF do some still have bottle openers and corkscrews on them??) Because most of us like opening bottles and cans without carrying a second con-opener or bottle opener. Word. As for...

I always wanted to pick up an Opinel as a all-around beater knife. I bought a no. 8 at a street market in Paris about a month ago, and I must say it's a great little knife. It was 8 euros, stainless. I especially like the two-way lock, just in case my 5 year-old finds it in the cutlery drawer. I've ...

Here's a link to an interesting article from the LA Times regarding building a garden designed to catch rainfall runoff. May be useful for folks in arid environments.

And it also adds a little nuanced deliciousness to the beans. A little pinch is all you need.

I guess it's just you and I, mon ami. To me, it's the most streamlined of the themes.

Another piece on the Muslim Brotherhood, this one from the NY Times Magazine:

Thanks everyone. It was pure luck; usually MLP storylines are all about conflict resolution between strong personalities, all while being pretty ponies. We've seen the Lou and Lou shorts, and we caught the one on the emergency bag. I think she was too young at the time, but I'm going to track it dow...

So, my 5 year old daughter had seen an episode of My Little Pony, in which the ponies were getting ready for a super pony party. But one of them noticed ominous smoke that seemed to be getting closer to Ponyland, and began to express her concern to the others. She was squelched by the others as bein...

Thanks! There's some great stuff in there.

I just rocked out the eyebuydirect.com 2 for 1 deal, but be warned that the deal extends to the second frame only with 1.57 single vision; in my case, I paid $197 dollars but saved $40. My vision is pretty bad so I needed to pay for the ultra thin lenses. The second identical pair are my presciption...

http://forums.vwvortex.com/forum.php for most Volkswagen/Audi models, and they also have some other makes like Skoda/SEAT, and huge classifieds section, and many DIYs.

Find a forum dedicated to your make and model. There are people on there that are just as nuts as the rest of us, only about their cars... ...By far the best resource I've found is to shell out the $100 or so for the factory service manual for your car.

Just came back from Lowes. They have Leatherman Wave with Nylon Sheath for $49.99 right next to the exactly the same item packaged a little bit differently for $79.99. I looked at it and could not find the difference. I asked the Lowes employee who worked in the department and he said just that. Di...

I often will boil some whole potatoes the night before just to fry them up the next day for breakfast. Peeled or skin on. Cube them up, toss in the pan with some bacon grease, season with salt and cracked black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Saute on medium till they're golden bro...

Just in the spirit of this forum, I would say to make sure you take a tour of the catacombs, where you can piles and piles of bones and skulls artfully arranged in a super creepy system of tunnels. One of the most things I ever did there. http://hollinsparis.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/paris_catacom...

Grope of zombies?

Inspired by all of the comments, I made this the other day. Here's how I deviated: Added with the boiling then simmering - one medium yellow onion diced - about a tablespoon of ground cumin - two tablespoons of tomato/chicken boullion This was pretty kick-ass. My wife actually dug it and commented i...

Something to note that even the FD might not advise you on. When you buckle the seat or base into the car, climb into it with your knee and put weight on the seat while tightening the straps. I was doing this for my first kid out of what I would consider common sense to keep the seat held tight. My...

Knifecenter has the classic Victorinox Swiss Army Tinker on sale for $12.95 (it's just minus the box).

My wife is a big fan of the "No-Knead Bread". Basically, you just mix the stuff in the bowl, let it raise and cook it at very high temperature in a dutch oven type cookware. Its really close to your Artisan bread. Here one recipe: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html" onclick="wind...

I saw a Discovery special on parasites while on a business trip. Some poor kid's brain was getting devoured by parasitic roundworms that came from a raccoon. Now, I don't think you'll probably be putting raccoon feces in your mouth as this boy did, but something else to watch out for nonetheless. He...
