90-Something

So it was exactly 90 days ago I crossed the 80-pound threshold in My Fitness Project, but I finally hit the 90-pound mark.

In total, it’s like I’m no longer carrying around an average 7th grade boy on my back (if I’m reading this growth chart correctly).

But the net-90 mark really doesn’t paint the whole [...]

Beer Belly

Hitt, my soon-to-be landlord, was in Green Bay this past weekend. I went up to hang out with him. First, we had dinner and cake to celebrate his grandmother’s 88th birthday. Then we went barhopping to play pool and darts. Besides the fact that I absolutely killed him in darts all night long, the biggest [...]

I’m a New Uncle: Part 4 of __

Introducing ‘The Latest, Greatest Wahl’, Georgia Truth:

A 7lbs 8oz, 19.5 inch, healthy girl born around 2:30 this afternoon in Arkansas (yes, they even have hospitals with electricity and everything there. Amazing.).
From most accounts, Georgia could have, at the very least, some reddish hair. Any chance of a full out redhead? TBD.
A big congrats to [...]

Mind Your MANners: Don’t Drop the Soap

It’s hardly a routine column if I only submit once, so here comes submission #2 of Mind Your MANners. And this week’s rant will take what I expect to be the more light-hearted line that the column’s debut galloped right past. So, don’t expect a video of any head-bashing, but do expect to [...]

Me + P90X = Certain Death?

I’m fortunate enough to be getting P90X from a neighbor this week.
For those not in the know, P90X is the latest home fitness craze. But unlike the thigh master or other crap, this this is pretty hardcore. In fact, most people can’t finish it, from what I understand.
It’s really only meant for advanced workouts and [...]

Too Sexy For My Shirt?

Well, this may be good news:
Most women claim to be attracted to tall, dark and handsome men, but a new study has revealed that facial stubble and a geeky personality are their biggest secret turn-ons.
So if I’m tall, Scandinavian (read: pale, not dark) and handsome — and I have facial stubble and a (only somewhat…right??) [...]

New Kids On The Block

This one’s for the children.
First, a big ‘CONGRATS!’ to the Hollisters on their new 7lb 6oz baby girl, Sophia Mae. Born in the wee hours of Monday morning, she was almost a Valentine’s Day baby. It’s probably a good thing she wasn’t. But her future boyfriends will surely be happy that they can probably kill [...]

Mind Your MANners: Gutless in Seattle

The Great Wahl readers have had the chance to see my masculine side with NCAAF picks and more recently my sensitive side with a blurb on speed dating. But a side yet to be displayed to Wahl’s loyal readers is the critical, cynical and generally crabby side of BJones. Perhaps age, perhaps a [...]

Emory University Will Kill You in Your Sleep

Emory University, my alma malter, has quite an expansive medical center. It has one of the best hospitals in the Southeast, plays host to the CDC, and we, apparently, have a sleep center. I know that we have a sleep center now because a 25-year old kid just died there while taking part in an [...]

Do You Feel Lucky?

First came the Deer Hunter scene.
Then came the drinking game around the iRevolver App at Penn State weekend in Chicago.
Now, thanks to the heads up from Evan, comes ChatRoulette.com (via BarStoolSports.com):
So I’ve gotten a couple emails about this new website called Chat Roulette. Basically it’s like Russian Roulette except instead of putting one bullet in [...]
