Anonymous asked: FYI: "Standard issue military eyeglasses are considered so unflattering, service members have an acronym for them: BCGs or Birth Control Glasses. For the first time in more than 20 years, the military is updating its look. Instead of those thick brown plastic frames, recruits can get sleeker black plastic specs."
Thanks for the PSA.
I don’t know why people consider them unflattering. I get compliments on these frames daily. From ladies and dudes. I’m pretty sure 99% of people don’t realize they are BCGs in the first place. They think I’m just some “hip dude” wearing “ironically oversized” glasses. I love dropping that knowledge and watching their reaction.
I also own five pairs in case these ever break, but I doubt it. They’re designed for combat, and the only combat I’m getting into is when my cat kneads on my face in the morning.
Anonymous asked: Fuck, marry, kill: Margaret Thatcher, Barbara Walters, Evan Kleiman.
Another great question. For all of these broads, it comes down to voice.
Right off the bat, I’d have to kill Barbara Walters. Sure I’d miss out on some great stories, but, honestly, how could I sit through them, listening to those shrill, piercing, nasal words coming from her face. Put a gag in her mouth and waterboard her, for real.
Next, I’m buying two tickets on the train to Bone Town for me and the Iron Lady. Strong women make the best lovers in the sack. They know what they want, and how to get it. They’re usually down for being taken advantage of too because they know no matter what, they’re always in control. Plus, I’d love to see that pomp of hers, post an all-night pound session, basking in the glow of the morning sun, over a cup of tea and a fag. I’d be accent-uating the positive in her, all night.
As for Evan, I’ve already got the ring. How could I turn down that smiling vocal tone, waking me up every day with some sort of le petit dejeuner or at the least a cup of joe, a fresh croissant from Susina and fresh farmers market fruits, blended and juiced to perfection? I CAN’T! And meals around LA with Jonathan Gold? That’s a fringe benefit I could never get tired of.
stickyisaslut asked: Made anyone laugh today Mr. Adams?
Actually, yes. Kinda.
Today, I took my 88-year-old grandfather to one of his many doctors because at that age you have a doctor for everything apparently - skin, blood, teeth (fake or real) - if you have health insurance, which he does.
Upon leaving the office, I asked him what tests they did. I’m curious as to what I could possibly be looking forward to if and when I live to be of his age. He told me about how the doctor drew some blood and put it in some machine to test his Red Blood Cell count. It turned out that the count was a tad low so the doc had to pump him full of new RBCs. Science is crazy, huh?
He said, “I’m just getting doped up for the Olympics.” I giggled to myself.
As we got in the elevator, I said, “at least those spin classes we got on Groupon will finally be put to use.” He chuckled audibly.
It was a quiet elevator ride to the lobby after that, but I rode it with a smile. I couldn’t see his face, but I have a feeling he was smiling too.

Anonymous asked: Who Are Your Favorite Tumblr Dudes?
I feel like I’ve been asked this question a little too often lately, and I’ve been refusing to reply because the only honest answer I can give is:
TOO MANY TO LIST.
Srsly, anyone who is uninhibited when publicly discussing their feelings and self-image (read: gpoy’s) and eating habits and musical tastes and sartorial decisions and emotional troubles is a babe, male or female or otherwise.
I truly feel this platform we use to scribe our thoughts is communal in the “community” sense of the word, rather than the “commune” sense, which brings a smelly and dirty and sustainability vibe that I’m not really looking for, although I do follow a couple of Tumblrs that subscribe to that way of life. But I doubt you do too, Anonymous. If you do, dope. More power to you.
Now, I realize this is a total cop-out, so I’ll give you a few dudes, in case this is a Miss Anonymous. So, in no specific order other than the one my ADD-riddled brain processes, here are a few Tumblr dudes that I have shared a drink (or two or fourteen or an e-mail/text message/ask box chain) with and would gladly share another one (or two or fourteen) with again:
