The Wrestler "First week on campus, we go through our meetings—compliance with the NCAA, team meetings in the wrestling rooms, finding my classes, and then we got to go do a physical. I'd been a week on campus and we go off to the Woody Hayes complex. You basically made your way—they had stations—to where Doc Strauss was, a room about half this size. He's sitting at a desk on a rolling little seat. He's got his back to you and he reads your chart and he's ready to go—he rolls himself over and checks your ears, the tongue depressor, that whole thing. Then he rolls back to his desk and tells you to drop 'em from across the room.
"He tells me to drop 'em, and you're standing there, and he wheels his way over to you. He's 125 pounds and you could break him like a balsa stick. His face is right next to your junk and he's got his hand on your dick for at least five minutes, trying to get you aroused, lifting it, pulling it, tugging it, the whole nine yards, making casual conversation with you the whole time, asking you personal questions while he's doing it—'You have any problems, any issues?'
"At that point I'm frozen in time. You're trying to do one of those things like you don't want anything to happen—God knows you don't want to get a hard-on. So you're doing everything you can and he's still doing his deal on it. He's got his hand on your butt cheeks. He's grabbing your leg. It's like he's there doing the deed as a girlfriend—he's trying to do everything he can to get you aroused, and while he's doing that, I don't know why, but I ended up telling him I got hit in the privates. I got hit in one of my nuts and I got a fluid-filled sac, like a bruise.
"I'm talking to the doctor, but I just shot myself in the foot because now he goes and wheels himself back to his seat. I'm scared as hell—he turns the light out and he's got a light pen and he starts rolling my way. I can see him coming with the light pen over to where I'm at, and then he does the same thing on me again with the light pen and it gives him the liberty to go even deeper into what he's doing. He's lifting, he's pulling, he's prodding, he's pushing, he's grabbin' my nuts—I mean, I'd never had anyone do that. Never had a girlfriend do that. He's putting a light on it and he's doing this and he's doing that and he's showing me and he's grabbing the head of my dick and pulling it up and down—that was my first time with him." He Was Alone and Helpless When His Cabin in Alaska Burned Down. This Is How He Survived. Last winter, after three weeks in sub-zero temperatures, 30 year-old Tyson Steele emerged from the Alaskan wilderness with only his life. How on earth did he do it? Josh St. Clair unpacks the unforgettable story of how one man's solace turned into the most life threatening three weeks you can imagine. Barbour's Bedale Jacket Just Keeps Getting Better Where to begin with Barbour? Maybe the British brand's storied history. How, early on in the last century, it helped innovate weatherproof outerwear by imbuing cotton jackets with wax to help them shield everyone from sportsmen—another way of saying "fancy guys who hunt"—to early motorists from the elements. Or maybe something more visceral: How that waxing process leads to outerwear that takes on a truly beautiful patina, once you've worn and re-waxed it for years. Or I could (ahem) wax philosophical about the fact that it's pretty impressive, the whole "devising a means of keeping folks dry nearly a century before anyone whispered 'Gore-Tex' into the wind" thing. But here's where I'm actually going to start: with a simple value proposition. Barbour makes jackets that really are worth your money. That's what this whole column is about, right? And though it's constantly in contention with its sibling, the Beaufort, the Bedale is one that's tough to beat. So, let's get to it. A Full Timeline of Dylan Farrow's Sexual Assault Accusations Against Woody Allen For decades, Dylan Farrow has alleged that her father Woody Allen sexually assaulted her in the attic of her mother Mia Farrow's Connecticut home on August 4, 1992. Nearly 30 years after the initial accusations, footage of a 7-year-old Dylan recounting the assault the day after it allegedly took place has been released for the first time as part of HBO's new documentary series Allen v. Farrow, which premiered February 21. The Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering-directed series digs into one of the film industry's most infamous cases. The four-part docuseries is a comprehensive look at the relationship between Mia Farrow and Woody Allen and its dissolution that began in January of 1992 when Farrow discovered nude photographs of her 21-year-old daughter Soon-Yi Previn in Allen's apartment. Later that year, Mia Farrow and Allen's 7-year-old daughter Dylan accused Allen of sexual assault. Woody Allen has always denied the allegations, arguing that Dylan was brainwashed by Mia, who was scorned when she learned of his affair with her eldest daughter Previn. Thorough and solemn, Allen v. Farrow is guided by Dylan and Mia Farrow's firsthand accounts, as well as interviews with family, friends, officers, and agents familiar with the events. This is the full timeline of the nearly three decade-long saga. Loungewear Is the Undisputed Winner of the Past Year. Here's Where to Buy All the Best of It. If any sort of winner has emerged over the course of the last year, it's loungewear. Its star was already on the rise before a pandemic and country-wide WFH orders rendered all forms of conventional office attire immediately obsolete. But this was the year loungewear's ascension reached its logical apotheosis, as it effortlessly asserted its dominance over less-comfortable alternatives—i.e. everything else in your closet—singlehandedly propping up a battered retail industry in the process. If you, too, have resigned yourself to another year of glancing at the clothing hanging mournfully in your closet and then positively melting, like so much butter in a hot pan, into yet another set of matching sweats, there's no better time to replenish your supply than right now. 55 Tech Essentials That Make Great Gifts—Especially for Yourself The world is 99.9 percent made up of technology.
