Celebs cheapen their brand with odd business launches
Celebrity endorsements are as old as advertising itself. We've seen it all, from fitness gurus hawking miracle machines to supermodels swearing by age-defying creams. But something's shifted.
Full moon Buff'ed cocktail
Yes, I'm known as the Buff chef but I also love mixing a good drink. When those two worlds collide -- AND include Buff Boy Brewing coffee in the process -- hold onto your beans cuz we're headed for some fun!
Say goodbye to fur-ever
I'm not a pet owner but I'm a pet sitter here at Buff Loft. Of course, I'm referring to the company dogs, Bruno, the golden retriever and Charlie, the husky. They visit us in the office on a regular basis and when it's a day of wearing shorts or underwear, we do OK. When it's a pants day (thankfully we don't have many of those), it can be a problem.
My partner expects me to be just as organized as him
My partner is an organized person and I appreciate that. But he's trying to push his ways onto me. (Do you remember that Seinfeld episode where Elaine confronts Jerry and says, "Everything has to be just so with you"? Well that's the story of my life.) When we travel, we have to be at the airport well in advance and he insists on holding our documents, and he's forever watching the clock. I prefer taking it easy and getting there shortly before boarding time. When we get to the hotel room, the bags have to be put in a certain area and shoes have to be the same. I keep my bathroom stuff (toothbrush, comb, etc.) in a travel bag on the counter but he unpacks and displays everything as if it's our bathroom and home and not a temporary stay. I keep my shirts and other clothes in my suitcase but he unpacks it and hangs them up in the hotel closet. He means well and I appreciate his attention to detail but I'm tempted to say, "Just do your thing and leave my stuff alone" but the last thing I…

Drew's Stand-Up Special: A First Date Disasterpiece
Please tell me when it's OK to do this
There are drunken goons at sporting events? Say it ain’t so.
Are people still into reality TV?
I remember when Survivor first premiered in 2000. It was a cultural phenomenon. People gathered around their TVs to watch the contestants battle the elements and each other. Friends and family had watch parties, and it seemed like everyone was talking about the show.
A splash and a spin in Houston
On a recent trip to Houston, Texas, I traded the bustling city streets for an underwater adventure at the Downtown Aquarium. I'd heard whispers of its unique blend of marine life exhibits and amusement park rides, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint.
Buff'ed Belgian waffles
Wake up to delicious!
Don't shove it in my face when I'm pissing
I think about plenty when I pee but this ain't helpin'.
Should I keep ghosting my lazy housekeeper?
I recently hired a house cleaner. I saw her ad online and she's from my neighborhood so I gave her a shot. The first time she cleaned, it was amazing. It took a long time because I hadn't done a thorough clean for a while. She left the place amazing (even folded the toilet paper into a triangle point like in hotels). The second time, not so great. The third time, even more not so great. I haven't reached out for a while and she's been contacting me asking about re-booking. I've been making excuses like I'm out of town or just have too much on the go. (She only cleans when I'm home because I don't allow someone in my place when I'm not there.) I figured she'd just take the hint after not hearing from me but I think I'm faced with the awkwardness of having to say she's fired. Do I do it in a text? Call her? Or just keep making excuses and hope she gives up?
OUI needed this body lotion
You already know the joke: Buff Boys all about our hair, bodies and having perfect skin. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Because of that terribly accurate reputation, we're always on the hunt for the holy grail of lotions.
A shockingly filthy first-date surprise
Our group has been talking about dating disasters and the stories coming out are amazing. Just incredible! From awkwardness at a restaurant to making an ass of yourself on a first date.
Who is George, anyway?
We all have our pet peeves, those tiny, often seemingly insignificant annoyances that, when accumulated, can make you want to scream into a pillow.
Coffee-infused carrots
Don't be so quick to judge a recipe by its title! Read the whole recipe and then decide... after you put the food in your mouth!
It's not about who you follow
In today's hyper-polarized world, even the simple act of clicking "follow" on social media can be construed as a political statement.
Neighbor uses my driveway without permission. Tow him?
My neighbors keep parking and blocking my driveway. When they do it I have to squeeze through with my car and almost scrape theirs just to fit onto my property. One time I was having company over and it was embarrassing as hell when I was showing my co-worker my new house and we couldn't use my driveway because someone was in it who doesn't belong on my property. I'm tempted to have them towed. Should I do it to make a point? I actually think that would be less awkward than having a conversation with them since I don't know them.
Making music... so cover your ears!
Being a raving guitar player, how could I not visit Musical Instrument Museum? There are thousands of pieces from hundreds of countries. Seriously. The place is huge and very spread out. Whether you want to check out a gallery full of guitars or want to visit a different country (so to speak), you can do just that. When we started the tour we were given headsets that activated music of the displays we walked by. You can watch a video of a cultural dance and hear the accompanying music as you stroll through the exhibit.
Reality TV casting is sooooooo predictable
Do you ever settle in for a night of reality TV, only to feel an unsettling sense of déjà vu?
Oh, the places this brings relief
It's the little gun that could. Again. And again. And again.

I have to do WHAT to gain your respect?
A customer is a customer is a customer. That’s how I feel about customer service but I guess I’m still old-school.
Co-workers saw my porn vids online
Co-workers saw my porn videos online and now I'm embarrassed to be around them. I like my job but I want to quit because it's hard to face them. What should I do?
Being carefree in Carefree
It was about 45 minutes of driving for us to get from downtown Phoenix to Civana Spa and Resort in Carefree, Ariz. With the desert sun beating down on us I was excited to escape into the coolness of the spa. We were greeted with refreshing smoothies as we got a tour of the property.
