Take one huge TV, add sports, beer, a couch and a bucket of wings. Mix well.

Television viewers love the working-class hero. Hand him a beer, and he becomes a God.

I think I’m going to officially call this the easiest recipe we have on the site… and hoo-boy is it tasty.

What the hell is a caribou, and why would you want to eat one? Because you can. Rudolph was a red-nosed caribou, and what an annoying little bastard he was (‘She thinks I’m cute’). He deserved to be eaten.

World-record holder and defending champion Joey “Jaws” Chestnut held on to his hot dog-eating title Friday in an unprecedented tie-breaker at Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July contest.  Chestnut, of San Jose, California, beat rival Takeru “The Tsunami” Kobayashi, of Japan, in a “dog off” in Coney Island where the two contestants battled to see who […]

It will also create a more formidable rival to […]
