Now that it’s getting warmer…

Posted: March 30, 2006 in Jokes
After four long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to spring and BBQ season.  Therefore, it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this outdoor cooking ritual, as it’s the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ, the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine:

1.  The woman buys the food.

2.  The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

3.  The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill – beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

4.  THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine:

5.  The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

6.  The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning.  He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again:

7.  THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine:

8.  The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, = sauces and brings them to the table.

9.  After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

10.  Everyone PRAISES THE MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

11.  The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off" and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women!

Some weirdness

All that coughing has scattered my brain cells.  I’m still hacking, but not as much.  Got a great AB workout in the last 2 weeks though..  😉
 
So here’s some weird sites I surfed during my days of phlegm.
 
 
 
 
 

Sick

Posted: March 21, 2006 in Miscellaneous BS
I have been sick for a good week now.  It started off with the flu last Tuesday and worked it’s way to a secondary respiratory infection by the weekend.  5 days of fever, ugh!  I’m tired of coughing.  I’m tired of rattling with pills, but most of all I’m tired of being tired!
 
I’ll leave you with this sent to me from my buddy in Montreal.

How old are ya?

Posted: March 11, 2006 in Uncategorized
***You Are 24 Years Old***
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view – and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what’s to come… love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You’ve had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You’ve been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

  * Why are men such jerks?

It’s a testosterone thing. Much similar to your PMS thing, we men suffer from testosterone poisoning. Why do you think the average life span of a male is typically 10 years shorter (and it’s not just from all the bitching and nagging we have to endure)? Hormone modifies behavior.    We’re just misunderstood.

  * Why do men always have to ogle other women?

  Again, this is a testosterone thing. Do you honestly think that all the testosterone just fell out of our bodies the moment we met you? Besides, women do it as well. Women are just much better at not getting caught.

  I’m fairly certain it’s some sort of photographic memory deal. Women take one quick look and memorize it for later reference. Since men lack this ability, we try to burn it into our memory by staring as much as we can.

  * Why do men always touch themselves, especially in public?

  We occasionally need to adjust our little friend and make him happy.   It’s much like adjusting your bra. Being in public is just an added bonus.

  * Why do men always say such stupid things?

  We like to. It’s actually a whole lot of fun to see our partner
frustrated by a few simple (and well chosen) words.

  * Why are men so uncommunicative?

  You’d learn to keep your big mouth shut too if every time you open it you get into trouble with your partner.

  * Why can’t men just share their feelings?

  Do we look like women to you? Why is it so hard to understand that men and women are different? How are we supposed to share how we feel when we have no idea how we feel? Unless we’re experiencing some extreme emotion like rage, hatred, disgust, or a brick on our foot, we have no
idea how we feel. Personally, I get a headache whenever I try to figure out how I feel.

  * Why can’t men cuddle more?

  Please… How many hours do you think there are in a day? We oblige you as much as we can, but who the hell (besides women) can stand lying around for hours on end? We men… Men hunters… Need go roam… Starve in cave… Must go find wildebeest… Now sitting on our asses for hours on end on the other hand is a whole other story.

  * How can men sit on their asses all day without moving?

  Men have very powerful sets of sitting muscles developed by evolution that enable us to sit for extended periods of time without getting tired. In prehistoric times, it was often necessary to sit in one spot for extended periods of time while hunting for prey. The more successful hunters were able to sit very still for very extended periods of time thereby passing on this ability to their progeny. The fidgety types were all gobbled up by saber toothed tigers etc. The end result is that almost all modern men are born with this innate ability.

  * Why can’t men just say, "I LOVE YOU?"

  Men are taught from a tender young age to be self sufficient. To say that we love you is equivalent to saying that we need you. Most men consider that a character fault. It’s not easy to admit to one’s own character faults.

  * Why do men say, "I LOVE YOU," when they hardly know me?

  Ho, Ho, Ho… Aren’t you special? Well, some men think it’s a sure fire way to get into your pants. Surprisingly, it actually still works quite well.

  * Why doesn’t my partner ever answer me?

  We just simply don’t have the energy to answer every single one of your questions. If we think we do not have the answer, or that you will not like the answer, we simply remain quiet and save the energy for other things.

  addendum:  Sometimes a simple nod of the head *IS* an answer, too!!

  * Why won’t men ever pick up after themselves?

  Why should we? It doesn’t really bother us that much. Besides, we know damn well you’ll pick it up.

  * What’s with all the belching and farting?

  This usually only occurs after months of courting. It’s our way to let you know that we’re comfortable with you. Believe it or not, it’s actually a sign of affection. Besides, holding it for extended periods of time gives us stomach cramps.

  * Why do men hate shopping?

  It’s an evolutionary thing. Men hunt. Women gather. We just want to go out, kill it, and bring it back. Who wants to spend hours and hours to look at things we have no intention of killing? Err…… buying?
