Gun control

Gun ControlThought I’d share this rather poignant and unfunny cartoon from a couple of years ago.  To say I regret having the second amendment in our Bill of Rights would be a massive understatement.

Flashback Friday

Flashback FridayThe USS Constitution was named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States of America.  At 216 years old, she is the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat.

Visitors are more likely to see this ship in the Charlestown Navy Yard along the Freedom Trail, but last year I snapped this photo of the USS Constitution in Boston Harbor when I was returning on the ferry from Provincetown.

Furry Friday

Furry Friday

Hey guys if you have photos of handsome men of color with hairy chests and facial hair, send’em my way.  Personally, I’d like it if this guy had a bit more hair on his chest, but when you are this good looking, I make exceptions. 😉

BosGuy brain teaser

brain teaserEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.  If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and try to figure it out together.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s brain teaser: What has a ring but no finger?

Like riddles? Check out past week’s brain teasers.

Das Boot

gayCheck out this hilarious video.  I’m at complete loss for words, but this is absolutely hilarious and worth the watch.  It is 100% safe for work provided a handsome bare chested man singing / talking with a German accent is not offensive to you and those around you.

Believe it or not, I think this may actually be a real product.

BosGuy makes hummus

hummusHummus is an easy to make and affordable dip or spread from the Middle East. I like the fact that you can make it in 10 minutes and need not use a single pan. Moreover, it’s nutritious – high in iron and vitamins C and B6 as well as a good source of protein and dietary fiber.

You should be able to buy all the ingredients necessary to make enough hummus to serve for four people for approximately $10. Ingredients include:

1 16oz. can of garbanzo beans / chickpeas
1 red onion 
1/4 cup of liquid from can of garbanzo beans / chickpeas 
2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1+ tablespoon of tahini
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cumin
The juice from half a lemon

making hummusThe process could not be more simple.  Add the ingredients into a food processor and blend until they are fully mixed. You may be tempted to omit the tahini and cumin if you don’t have this in your cupboards, but it is the combination of these ingredients that really provide the flavor associated with hummus and you’ll do yourself a disservice so don’t substitute these.

Optional: For garnish you may include finely chopped chives. The green coloring and flavoring really enhances the spread.

Nair for Men

Nair for MenBuzzFeed shared a handful of humorous photos from Nair for Men advertising campaign in Canada.  For fans of my Furry Friday posts – don’t fret.  Nair has not offered me any money to advertise so this is the only post you’ll see about body hair removal, and I promise you’ll enjoy tomorrow’s Furry Friday post til then here are some of my previous Furry Friday posts.
