[FLY] Guys: How to Be ‘Indy'
The Indiana Jones theme has become nearly as iconic as the film's protagonist himself. At the sound of the lively Raider's March cadence, one can't help but conjure images of Harrison Ford wearing his signature khaki togs, leather bomber, and fedora.
[Guy] Translations
The ultimate [FLY] Guy, in addition to being well-read, well-kempt and well-muscled, is also well-prepared.
[Guy] Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse
A lot of things keep people up at night these days: terrorism, recession, environmental catastrophe. But these aren't the things I worry about. No, I worry more about zombies and the apocalypse that is sure to come one day if scientists keep up their horrible experiments.
Coffee Toss
Isaac Newton would be grinning in his grave at the sight of such antics. He, too, was known to pull an extreme stunt in the name of discovery, such as poking a bodkin (a small dagger) through his eye socket. Newton sort of makes playing catch with a polystyrene cup of boiling hot coffee look like child's play.
[FLY] Guys Kan Cook
Look [FLY] Guys, we already know you can grill a hamburger and boil spaghetti. We've known that since seventh grade Home Economics. Why not show us some real skills in the kitch? We'd love to see a thoughtful meal with a bit of intrigue À la Carte every now and then. And never, ever, underestimate the power of risk factor to wow your dinner guests. By this, of course, I mean a lot less campfire, and a lot more blow torched crème brûlée.
Repurposing Style
Ever get the feeling that all clothes look the same? Ever worry that you'll show up at that big party in the same dress three other people are wearing? Are you searching for somewhere that has sales year round, not just in July and January? If so, Private Collection is the answer you've been searching for.
[FLY] Guys Decorate [with found objects]
It all began with a wheel. And some glass. And one infamous fight scene between newly cohabitating love birds.
Backpack Couture
I remember the first day of kindergarten when my mom packed my red Hello Kitty backpack. Stuffed with all the essentials I needed, I toted the bag proudly down the street to the bus stop.
Jam Sessions
Foodie, gastronome, epicure bon vivant?! No matter how you choose to slice it, one thing is certain: I am a self-confessed food geek. I can spend an entire evening pouring over cook's mags, plotting my next great kitchen experiment.
Mosaic
Courtney Chinn Peters may look every bit the part of a hip, young shop girl. But what you don't know is that at age 25, this gifted ceramicist and successful entrepreneur isn't just a pretty face behind a counterthis woman's the boss.
Dirty Dishes
I don't know about you, but I'd pay good money to see the look on my mother's face if I whipped out a set of dinnerware painted with a cheeky naked lady motif. Shocking. Or how about a new "Democrat" coffee mug, adorned with illustrations of Clinton and Kennedy, for your smugly conservative boss? Unheard of. And may I suggest a set of "We Do" dishes, featuring two brides or two grooms in wedded bliss, for your less-than-tolerant brother? Scandalous! Personally, I'm going to buy the whimsically gruesome Alice in Wonderland dinner plates complete with the Cheshire Cat sitting on its head, and the set of tumblers featuring the Mad Hatter and Talking Spades. Eat Me. Drink Me. Yes, yes, indeed.
More S'mores
No camping trip or backyard barbecue is ever complete without a gooey bite of s'mores as the fire starts to die down. I like mine best with a swig of icy root beer.
Popsicle Taste Test
Here in the [FLY] headquarters, we were becoming delirious from the summer heat and decided we needed sweet relief in the form of popsicles, STAT. But there are so many different kinds of popsicles out there, we didn't know which to choose.
Watermelon 101
Watermelon has long been a southern staple, and Mississippians are aficionados. I recently took a poll among friends and coworkers to learn how best they liked to eat their watermelon.
Margarita Popsicles
One of the things that makes hot Mississippi summers bearable is a cold, refreshing popsicle.
