The Advocate says that Silver Foxes are so hot right now:
It has never been hotter to be a silver fox. While men used to cover their gray with Grecian Formula, now an increasing number of them are proudly accepting their changing hair color — regardless of their age. Instead of being written off as “old,” [...]

You’ve seen him on the beach. Or in New York City. 52, girls. 52!
You know I’ve been waiting, like, years, to be able to post with the slug, above, right?
Thanks to Timber, Duncan and Eric for pushing. A big shout-out to friends, family, colleagues, buddies, pals, readers, commenters and, especially, the ever-awesome Champ. You all [...]

So here’s the deal: Every now and then this Green on Thursday series hits a dry spell and there aren’t any sniveling closet cases or heroic gay icons or droolworthy heterostuds that spring to mind. I’m sure they’re out there, but me throwing up just any GoT celebrity would be akin to me wearing a [...]

“I’m sorry, sir, but you won’t be needing ‘leather cleaner’ for this procedure.”
“Is the IMAX crew ready to roll?”
“Does that thing look a little like Garth Brooks to you?”
“Are you sure you followed the bowel-cleansing instructions, sir?”
“Has anyone seen my iPod?”
“That can’t be right.”
“All [...]

So, it’s 8:20PM and I’m about three-quarters through the second phase of my preparation for a colonoscopy. I’m on the third liter of the night, of reconstituted Klean-Prep™, the magically-delicious (not) diarrhea-inducer from Dublin. (I wonder if I could’ve gotten it cheaper 2 weeks ago? Tough explaining to Canada Customs, though, why anyone would actually [...]

It’s 5:55PM and I’m looking at a small bottle of lemon-ginger-flavoured Phosphates Solution compound. In 5 minutes, if I’m to follow the directions in the “PREPARING YOUR COLON” section of the mailer I received a few weeks ago, I will swallow it completely. In just over 2 hours, I’ll be mixing (and swallowing) a package [...]
