So I won't waste your time talking about the fact that the M-65 field coat is, arguably, the most wearable contribution to the larger world of men's style since the end of the Second World War. I also won't get into the details that have made the garment such a go-to for enlisted men and civilians alike, although there are more than enough to keep you occupied for a while.

Martin Just Let Slip the Game of Thrones Prequel Title   Yesterday during the announcement of Naomi Watts joining the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel, author George R.R. Martin appears to have let slip another little bit of news. In a post announcing Watts on his own website, Martin also included the prequel's title.

In Fact, They're the Worst.   Reese's peanut butter cups are gross. First off, there is no good way to hold one. Scientifically speaking, the thermal energy emitted from your sweaty hands is too much for the cup's wimpy, waxy, molecularly mediocre exterior. It melts immediately, coating your fingers and lips with chocolate that more than likely goes to waste. Chocolate and peanuts were made for one another, like exhausting Halloween costume montages and Today show hosts. Reese's cups betray that sacred bond.
