When it comes to women most men have a “type.” This is very obvious when the type applies to physical aspects – for instance some guys like leggy blondes: they date leggy blondes, watch porn starring leggy blondes, marry leggy blondes, and then cheat on their leggy blonde wife with a leggy blonde skank.

I was cleaning my pool the other day and realized I had discovered a fundamental principle of the universe…more on that later. Pool maintenance can be frustrating, especially during pollen season.

First just as something of a disclaimer… Many states have as part of their fisheries management strategies “Fly […]

I have a confession to make. Actually not a confession, a confession is an admission of guilt for a crime or failing.  This is more of an embarrassing fun fact. Flyosophy Fun Fact:  The Flyosopher has no friends.  His mother, however, is blameless for his funny attire…he did that himself. “Nothing but heaven itself is […]
