Guys are sometimes full of machismo and refuse to step down when challenged by another male. The result often is that both of them look stupid (this is how mixed martial arts got started).
An example of this comes to us from Colorado, where two men shocked each other with Tasers after a dispute in a parking lot took a turn for the, well, not exactly deadly unless you have a pacemaker. A restaurant owner got into an argument with a rent-a-cop about a company van parked behind the restaurant. The owner was upset there was a boot on the car, the rent-a-cop was concerned he would be attacked with bolt cutters.
Shockingly enough (HAR!), both men were armed with Tasers, and in 18th century duel style, they shocked each other, presumably until one of them cried “uncle.”

Apparently, some people find it a little unusual that Penthouse—which also owns Adult Friend Finder—would own Christian social networking site BigChurch.com. Personally, we’re all for inclusion and everything, but that is a pretty big church.

Etienne Apaire — “head of a government body in charge of the fight against addiction to drugs or alcohol” – is shocked, SHOCKED, by the findings of recent alcohol surveys.
“He said research conducted in 2005 showed about one in four French 17-year-olds reported getting drunk at least three times in the previous 12 months, while one in 10 said they had got drunk 10 times or more.”
That’s right: one-quarter of all French 17 year-olds get drunk three times a year. (We’re guessing that New Year’s Eve, St. Patrick’s Day and Bastille Day are those three days.)
As such, Apaire has proposed to end Happy Hour, as if French drunks aren’t morose enough. Worse yet, he might not even be French because he’s suggested that French youth drink beer instead. Sacrebleu!
These Founding Guys could not be reached for comment.

As most men can tell you, now that it is getting warmer, women are wearing less clothing. Their uncovered legs and shoulders bring out primal urges in men that date back to prehistoric times when cavewomen would wear skimpier furs in the summer months. “Ooga booga,” the cavemen would say to passing cavewomen. This was because no one had yet learned how to whistle.
Yet today, the very same urge still resides in men, at least if you ask a few women who sound kind of angry about it. Apparently, catcalling is not OK. This came as a shock to me when I heard the news, not that it was not OK, that people still catcall. In my time on this planet, I have never been a construction worker nor have I ever been a vagabond, so I have never felt the need to yell anything to strange women. Even in my formative days, I was never one to honk at women I passed by, whether out of courtesy or slow reflexes. Read more
