I'm 28, and I fly probably three trips a month for work and am close to getting a vasectomy because of kids on planes.

So, serious question: where does your under 1o-year-old kid need to be so...

"Uhhh, honey ...? I'm gonna run out to the convenience store, d'ya need anything ...?"

This is awesome.

That is all.

Totally disagree about this defining his career.

The Jay Thomas/Lone Ranger story is still the best talk show guest moment of all time.

Dingles - we've got 3 full guide days so I think that's all we're gonna do; but appreciate the offer; that's cool. We're really looking forward to seeing the area and getting to soak up some of the...

Parvo - the timing was totally unintentional but it sounds like we lucked out. We don't have kids and are not looking for nonstop entertainment - far from it.

Actually, we're not rookies at the...

Guide service is something we found online called Trout Bum 2 out of Park City. We don't have any recommendations on guides, so your feedback is most appreciated.

If there's a Costco near you, try the Root:One Cab. It's from Argentina, I think and its a really good one for like $8.99. The wife and I liked it enough to buy a case, and we'd probably do it again.

So the wife and I just decided we're using the 3rd week of September and going fly-fishing in the Park City/Provo area. We found a pretty sweet off-season rental for a week, and a guide service....

It's cool if there is a story of some sort behind it.

I once got caught up in a run of bluefish with my 3 groomsmen, surfcasting waist-deep at night and no one had pliers or a fish grip. They...

Movie buff ... well, you pretty much can't escape seeing things from Christopher Nolan's last two Batman movies.

2nded on Hot Doug's! Worth the wait!

Hit the Map Room or Hop Leaf (Bucktown...

I realize that a lot of Sales work is grunt work (been there. done it.) but the best sales/strategic biz dev jobs are constantly challenging. When you are working on very large deals and get to write...

I've now got two cocker spaniels, and they might be a good fit for you OSECS. About 30 lbs (English Cockers a bit more), extremely social and affectionate, very smart, and shed very little. The only...

Make sure to take the high road with this discussion. This guy sounds like a total asshat, and you can't reason with these people or make them see things your way. They're like bad puppies; they only...

Had a really good burger experimentation session a couple weeks back. I had a few pounds of fresh lamb shoulder and didn't know what to do with it; ground it up in the meat grinder and made burgers...

I got one as a gift a while ago ... can't say I am informed on espresso makers but use the thing a lot. It's one of those Nespresso deals, where you use those pods. Of course, if they go out of biz...

I can't really speak for Delta other than to say it sucks almost as bad as US Airways. Not quite, but almost. They oversell planes relentlessly. I fly American 2x a month to various places and never...

+1 on the Alton Brown stuff. Follow those brine instructions and you'll kill it.

I've actually used the oven bag as a liner for the 5-gal for the past few years, works perfectly. 6 or 7 hours for...

It's a damn shame that we seem to have evolved from chimpanzees, of all things.

I get freaked out just like iceman when i eat sushi too far from salt water ... but don't forget:

Most of the best Bluefin Tuna you get in California which is "Straight From the Dealer in Japan"...

Thanks for the kind posts - yes healing up better than expected ... the human body is truly incredible. It has a way of putting itself back together with minor guidance. I'll have some bone slivers...

Man, I miss home. I was born in Salem and just moved out to Chicago over the summer.

Vinz nails it.

Halloween will be a ridiculous shitshow, but worth seeing. Peabody Essex Museum is a true...

Here's a quick tip, especially if you run with a crowd of hardened, true, international business travelers. Through some odd career circumstances I learned this early on:

Never, EVER; talk about...

No shit. True story:

A little over a month ago (September 16, I'll never forget that date) I actually had 4 gangbangers (MLDs in Chicago, for those of you who watch NatGeo "Gangland") attempt to...

My wife's family is Vietnamese - they would all be dead as a doornail years ago if eating fishbones (one of the tamest things they eat) got them in trouble. Then again, I think they are genetically...

I just got back from a week in LA. My wife is from Berkeley (Northern California) and has the requisite prejudice against SoCal, because it is so common, sleazy, and unenlightened. It's kinda like a...

Former lifelong Bostonian, new to Chicago as of 2 weeks ago.

I wish you had checked out Bikes Not Bombs in jamaica plain - they're a great shop for turning older performance road bikes into...

Isn't it crazy how fishing just INVADES your consciousness? And the better your season is going, the worse it gets.

Over the summer I can't even look at my BlackBerry calendar without thinking...

The lower-end Sage rods are still Sage rods. They're excellent. 72 is correct though - Sage doesn't make "cheap" rods. I think a Launch is still over $200.

My wife actually rocks an SLT in the...

Five bucks is a good deal if they work for you. Seriously though, neoprene is only for the COLDEST of the cold days, in very cold water. Surfcasting one of the great lakes has to be one of those...

I usually just fold out my gas-cap door and lean my rod against it. In the picture the gas door thing is right next to the rod magnet!

Good luck, dude! Sounds like you have gotten some good practice in. Skeet is a great game, especially among friends.

If you can hit a bird that small, and that fast, in the air, with something the size of a pencil eraser ... the warden will probably tell you you've earned the bird while he writes up your fine.

Wading jackets are mandatory. Easily one of the best innovations in fishing gear in recent memory. I have the Orvis one, and my buddy has the LL Bean one. Both are excellent - especially if you are a...

I'm not real proud to see my hometown (Boston) listed in so many of these posts. I have been witness to some truly stupid fights that go way over the line, way too many times.

I live in Southie...

I have a bottle of Habenero infused on my shelf. Slice up a habanero or two and put it into a clean glass bottle (like San Pellegrino or whatever) and funnel in the base tequila. Leave it for 3 to 5...

The 2008 payroll speaks volumes about how good ball clubs cultivate talent from the farm system. Theo Epstein and his organization are relentless in their efforts to promote and motivate younger...

GREAT pics! Congrats on christening the new rod!

Looks like you've got some great local water. Here's to a great 2008 season!

Designer jewelery appreciates due to an avid collector market - but engagement rings generally do not belong in this category. Cartier, Tiffany, Faberge, etc. But it doesn't appreciate because of the...

HELL YEAH!!!

That kid is a badass! The X-Games had better be ready!

Through my job I found out about the Adventure Travel Trade Association about a year ago: http://www.adventuretravel.biz/

I haven't seen any mention about this group before but got to meet with...

Amazingly, those guys will NOT give out the name of their repair shop to the public because they don't want to inconvenience their loyal customers.

The Pats are pure elbow grease, dude. Ain't no fuckin' beauty pageant up here.

Sorry if it's scary to play a real hardass football franchise. It would be fabulous for the sports media if Brady,...

Twelve other states with similar legislation, though!!

Gay marriage is a lot more taboo and seems to have caught on pretty quickly in non-rectangular states.

(No offense to the Colorado mags...

"Reputable Jeweler" is a borderline oxymoron. It's a very, VERY shady business.

I got married last year and I'm not telling anyone what to do - but I sacked up and dropped stupid asshole money at...

In salt water I use Sci Angler Striped Bass (intermediate) or the SaltWater taper (floating). Love 'em both.

In fresh water I use either a Orvis Wonderline Bass Bug taper on my 6wt, which is...

Sounds like you've got a challenging situation there, but also a good habitat for bass. But I'm sure you will be able to get the tools you need - bass fishing and baseball have been imported and...

Chester Bennington? He's pretty easily recognizable and those fuckers have stupid, crazy, fuck-you album sales.

The French certainly have leisure living down. Six weeks of vacation, "bank holidays" all the time, and easy access to unlimited wine, cigarettes, coffee, and snack breaks during the days they...

This is a good question. Easily recognizable ... relevant and innovative current music, counterculture tendencies ...

Bear in mind that these people aren't as high profile as they were in the 70s...

Me three on Fat Matt's.

Atlanta also has probably the most badass aquarium in the world. You won't see three whale sharks in the same tank anywhere else. Seriously amazing.
