Let's just have a courtesy guys day till noon today...

so, Josh. It's all yours unless you can scare up some menfolks.

IF a male speaks up before 10 am CST, we will have guys day. Otherwise, PLBBBBBBBBBTTTTTTT

Richy's cat peed on our bed this morning. And by morning I mean 6 am. &%^^&%
She's on thin ice with me, folks. But he loves her.

Tomorrow night begins our 3 days of prayer.... it's gonna be great. You should just camp out. It will also be the 10th remembrance of plighting my troth.

I am so boring on here lately. But I am tired. So I can't be terribly witty.
Soon and very soon, I will be interesting again.
If you didn't check out clark family pix, you should. Cute stuff there.

(was video of hands playing Hail to The Chief)
Sometimes, there are no words.

Yeah, whatever.
I don't think we have anyone man enough to think of a topic.

Okay, here's the deal. It is guys ONRY till noon. So here's your chance to make a good story. You may type a maximum of FOUR words... and no serial posting, only one post until somebody else, then you can post again. Is that confusing?

Comments outside of the story need to go DOWNSTAIRS in the comment thread. Gratzi

Here we go

the topic of the day: books

My dad used to go to the library and come home with stacks of
books.... a half dozen glossy ones with things like airplanes and
eagles and American flags... Tom Clancy-esque, and a couple comics...
maybe Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, Far Side, and then some
randomness... fascinating tomes like How to Build a Geodesic Dome and
Guns of World War II, or How to make toys out of Trash.... and he
would read them in his big chair while noisily crunching apples.
I get 15 or 20 novels, usually with pioneer looking women and various
scenes in the background... or neon chick-lit with cartoonish women
and cups of coffee and such.
Which I read curled up somewhere with various snacks....

Question- what do you guys read? Where? Do you like funny stuff or
blow-ups and gunfights?? Do you even READ love scenes? My MOG carries
around imposing books of sermons and tries to read little clips of
Finney and such to me, but I run away. And he reads magazines about
studios and musical equipment. I will be right at the part where she
is about to tell the Tory soldier that she is a patriot in disguise,
in a rainstorm after she was shot, and Richy will pipe up- "Hey, you
won't believe this. I have been compressing my mix with the Presonus
23468 and all this time I could have just modulated the equalizer!
Silly me!" or something....

This afternoon I will be going to beaumont with the fam as Richy is
preaching at a youth group there. So if I have an internet connection
in the morning, I will post a blog. Otherwise, it will be later
tomorrow.

Mornin, all.
Yesterday I went out by myself for the second time... Richy kept R2
and Toby. I'm on a pretty short leash because Toby won't take a
bottle. But I had 2 glorious hours of aloneness. I went to Cinco De
Mayo and ate. Just ate and ate. It's weird how used you get to
gobbling your food while bouncing a baby on one leg.
I also went to the library. Then I received a very sad phone call
from Toby and came home.
It was great, and then I was so happy to see my boys again.
I remember being a kid, and being by myself a lot. Everybody in the
family was older... then I got popular at school and started to like
being the party.
Then I grew up and got tired of being the party.
Then a lot of sad things happened and I needed to be alone.
Now I am happy and I am never alone... but I still crave solitude
sometimes. So yesterday was a blessing.

Today is guys day.. a guy will choose the topics and womenfolk will
wait until noon to argue. = )
And the first topic will be chosen by.... Naytron

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.

The Ultimately Sadistic Office Gadget

Tired of listening to the gabbling marketing dweebs down the hall? Fed up with your micro-managing incompetent boss? Have co-workers that are smarter than you? Challenge them all to a game of RC shocking laser tag, beat them, and then become the office legend you've always wanted to be.

How does it work? Simple. Each set comes with two R/C controllers and two tanks on different radio frequencies. Simply turn them on and try to shoot your opponents tank with your infra-red cannon. The tanks move forwards, backwards left and right just like any other tank. Each time you successfully hit your opponents tank, they will receive a shock from their controller. Winning a match requires five successive hits to your opponents tank. LEDs built into the tanks indicate the score. Handy wrist straps are built into each controller so that when you shock your boss and he freaks out and drops his controller, it won't hit the floor!

Features:

• Two remote controlled battled tanks with infra red guns
  
• Two control units with built in shocking function and speakers
  
• A direct hit on the tank shocks the driver via the control unit
  
• Indicator lights show when you have been hit. Five strikes and you're out
  
• Battle sound effects for added excitement
  
• Two shock levels (wimp and tough guy) are available. How brave do you feel?
  
• Requires 6AA and 6AAA batteries (included!)
  

Warning: The Product Emits An Electric Shock. Keep out of reach of children. Not suitable for those under the age of 14. This is a novelty item, not a toy. May interfere with electrical devices such as pacemakers.

Ladies: zippppp till noon

Topic of the day, inspired by this picture Josh sent me:

If you guys were in charge of housework, what improvements would you make? Like a ride-on vacuum cleaner and such...

Ladies: you know the rules.

Also, so far the weeknight is winning for our Jack In The Box party. If you haven't voted yet, do so!

Today I thought maybe the guys could tell us - if they were superheroes
or supervillains, what powers would they have?

Ladies, remember, zip it till noon.

Así pues, está hoy el día de los individuos. Usted sabe las reglas. Hasta mediodía, solamente los varones pueden blog. Las mujeres pueden anunciar su presencia, y hablan si un varón les habla directamente. Después de mediodía, las señoras pueden blog, pero solamente en asuntos individuo-dirigidos.

to begin with, I don't think any of us believe that women should only speak when spoken to. Life, and marriage is a partnership and so forth and so on.
However, I know some guys would find it an amusing diversion to "control" the conversation for a few hours a week.
And I find it an amusing diversion as well.
So grin and bear it, my undercover feminist female friends... and grin about it, darnit!

Okay here's the deal...
From now until noon, this blog will be for menfolk. Women are welcome to browse, and to announce their presence. Briefly.

If a manfolk directly speaks to you, you may respond.
CHANGE: No quota today... we'll try it out.
At noon, women are permitted to speak freely again, although they should limit themselves to guy-directed topics.

Ok so here's the rules.

Only guys may post in this blog. They have until noon to get 50 posts.
If they succeed, women may not blog unless a guy specifically speaks to
them. This will be in effect until 5 pm.
If they fail, women are able to post as usual, although we have to try
to stick to guy-led topics.

* the 50 posts must be actual comments. Blog spamming will not count
* Women can announce their presence

I am completely sleep deprived. If I forgot to mention something....
mention it.

ah yes. If you guys make it, throw us a bone. We like to talk.

Now, let's say, hypothetically, that Valentines Day is a "woman's"
holiday.
What would a a "man's" holiday be?
Or has it not been invented?
What constitutes a manly holiday?
