Have you ever heard your own voice, either in a phone message or perhaps a dictaphone? No matter how ready-for-radio we’re convinced our voices are during those shower-time Michael Bublé renditions, it never seems to be as ‘Mitch Buchannon’ in real life. And don’t think you’re alone.

Second Coming
Putting the Laughter into Manslaughter
Few action heroes are brought back to life after a fatal case of career
stagnation. Who remembers the Highway Men, George “Hannibal” Peppard

Finding a truly male domain is becoming increasingly difficult. Sports
bars have ladies night, pool halls have all-girl competitions, even
