Columbus, Ohio Ranked Second Manliest City in US →
The fine folks at COMBOS did a study that looked into things like manly jobs, manly pastimes, and manly snacking and found that Columbus, Ohio was the butchest city around, second only to Charlotte, North Carolina. Now, we’re not ones to begrudge Charlotte their win. It’s a lovely town, but we’re sure to knock them off the throne with our giant balls next year.
Four other Ohio...

Dear Mr. Watterson is a documentary in progress. It’s so in progress, you can still contribute to its production and why not?
If any living cartoonist deserves a loving tribute in the form of a celebrity-filled feature-length documentary, it’s Clevelander Bill Watterson for his comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.
I mean, honestly, Calvin and Hobbes are getting their own stamp, this...
