The First Fireworks

The 4th of July happens every year. That’s a law. And it goes forward in time, and we keep celebrating it every year, with fireworks, usually, and hot dogs and lots of mustard and ketchup.
Cave Men Celebrated, Too

The Original BBQ
You might think Cave Men had it rough, but they never had to worry about running out of propane. Or being ready to fire up their grill and finding an empty bag of charcoal. If a Cave Dude wanted to cook (or, more than likely, when his Cave Babe told him if he [...]

Some More Cooking For Men – Roscoe’s Trinity

Cave Men Had No Trinity
They had a club. (Sometimes) they had fire. They had Cave Babes. But Cave Men didn’t have much in the way of spices for their food. It’s documented that a Cave Dude stepped on a garlic bulb one day while sneaking up on a baby bronto (a delicacy, the babies were [...]

Roscoe Ripped Off!

First It Was Rachael Ray
She came to the Auto Show in Detroit, and the next thing you know she’s making Kielbasa Reubens. But don’t take this the wrong way, that’s why we love Rachael Ray. She doesn’t just do girly food, she does food everyone will like (like Roscoe does). Plus, she’s cute, so that [...]
