Sports: it’s a guy thing!

A true fanatic... but NOT a cute guy... sorry ladiesWell, we’re talking about ‘sports’ again… so you gals can head out to the mall. heh heh

Not that any of us guys didn’t know this… but guys like sports and many women don’t. There really is a science behind male fanatic behavior.  Ah ha! you say…. that means SOME women like sports? Yep, the women who like sports are just about the most beautiful creatures that God has ever placed on this earth…. I know… I married one and produced daughters who love sports too… especially football.

If you don’t believe me that women who love sports are a RARE commodity… I have PROOF! This past weekend, while my daughters and my wife and I were all watching football (down boys… only two of those females are single), we watched an ad for eharmony.com.

A Football Loving Couple brought too you by eharmony.comWhat was so unusual about the ad you ask? Well, this is kind of an ‘advanced dating’ site that delves deep into your personality and looks to see if you can share the housework and if she can watch football while giving you a sensual backrub.

 The eharmony man said that he was looking for a woman who liked to watch football… and the only thing they now apparently fight about is the fact that she is a Brown fan and he is a Steeler. Holy , drop the remote, Batman! I could just see millions of guys logging on to eharmony…. while their girlfriends/whatever were out at the mall.

Go get a good one this time, guys! The guy pictured on the left FOUND his football loving fiance’! Continue reading “Sports: it’s a guy thing!”

Great Milestones in Women’s History! (nominations being taken)

Catie CouricWhile I was transfixed in the manly art of shopping for vegetables ( for men: that’s the green stuff that sometimes lurks by your steak and not to be confused with the green beer of St. Pat’s Day), I looked up to see a t.v. ad for the new anchor of CBS News… you know who I mean. How can you escape? It’s like girl’s soccer…. all that puff and no spectators.

Oh, I think Catie will find a few lookers.

After all, the CBS marketing folks are working overtime thinking about such great ways to promote ‘Catie’… as with a T.V. above the produce section? What’s with that? Why not by the beer? Well, I don’t think she has a real following among men… that’s my guess… she reminds me of the line in “Failure to Launch”, “just because you have found a guy who will date/sleep with you more than once….” Like Will Ferrell, Catie is born just to be a ‘bitter side kick.’ 

I am not saying she’s dumber than the folks she covers, but can she ‘blog’? If you are really lonely, you can sign up for her newsletter… but she may not write it. Former CBS guy Leroy Sievers wrote his… but he is unusually articulate… and Leroy has a very attractive and intelligent sister in California…. erowl!

I guess I always disliked CBS News… especially when they tried to ambush me in 1989 and then proceeded to not replay the interview in the rest of the country (east coast was live) when it didn’t go they way they’d hoped. I guess I just didn’t sound as ‘wacky’ as they had hoped. Fortunately, the Today Show segment was played in some parts of the country and we got the tape.

(As background, they were trying to show the two sides of the ‘marijuana debate’… I said it wasn’t a good thing for kids to do… they appeared to not like my position… so, what side do you think they took?) I’m no Thanksgiving turkey… so I got my head off the chopping block as fast as I could!

 Like the New York Times, I believe that CBS has an ax to grind and it always shows.  I am sure when Castro bites the big one, they’ll cry giant crocodile tears… but I will be singing  a different tune … ‘Cuba Libre!’

Is this Men's soccer?Back to short stuff, if Catie’s assension doesn’t float your boat, then who can forget ( we can try) the shirt ripping, eye popping ( nope, not Arnold) athletic achievement in women’s soccer??

I really don’t know what she was saying by taking off his/her shirt? Was she/he saying,” hey, I fooled you all… I am really a man!!”

So, where do we look for real ‘milestones’ in women’s history? All you have to do is look around you and it is happening every day. Women who are showing individual courage in their everyday lives… I do not need to parade the courage I see in the women I know…. it is there.

Women have always made history and whether or not it was ever written down is less important and an entirely different issue. I suspect, expect and hope that the recognition of the real achievements of women will continue…. unless … you know… the burka (or Burqa) thing comes about.

Iranian Islamic Fundamentalists & US…. there is a difference!

The is a Difference between us

It’s kinda hard to negotiate with folks who believe they will get their eternal reward in the hereafter. After all, why protect and preserve what one has in this world  if your reward comes after death?

It seems strange that an Islamic youth would wear a ‘earthly’ plastic key around their neck for admittance into the land of 52 virgins in each of 52 mansions! ( you thought it was ONLY 52 virgins… nah… the reward is much bigger).

Even though the reward for dark deeds is great it is darkly amusing that Osama didn’t let any of the ‘muscle’ of the suicide planes know what was in store for them… they may just think that this world isn’t all that bad after all.

The drawing above I actually ‘borrowed’ and motified… but it speaks to the challenges that lay before us in dealing with adversaries that believe that state sponsored terrorism is just another way to do business. We better learn how to play this new game before time runs out.

If the concepts of Islam and the fundamentalists seems strange to your western eyes, Herb Cohen has written an insightful look and some definition to the issue.

The challenge for the West and America is to see Iran (and those who are with her) for who they are and not what we want them to be.

Strong challenging times calls for resolve.

WOMEN WANTED: 80 million to 1 ratio!

 
Waiting for the right woman!

For all those women who jested or were serious and stated,” so many men… so little time”, here is your chance to help humanity, avoid war , bring peace and — dare I say it — enjoy yourself!

Right now in China and India there are around 80 million ‘excess’ men with little hope of a steady female companion. Science Daily reports:

“This trend could lead to increased levels of antisocial behaviour and violence, as gender is a well-established correlate of crime, and especially violent crime. Gender-related violent crime is consistent across cultures. Furthermore, when single young men congregate, the potential for more organised aggression is likely to increase substantially, and this has worrying implications for organised crime and terrorism.”

There are reports in these countries of women being ‘too picky’ and feeling like they can ‘trade up’… and they do and who wouldn’t blame them? I can just see the ‘bargainng going on:

MAN: I am a millionaire, handsome and with property the size of Oklahoma

Woman: I am stupid, really ugly, incredibly poor hygiene, toothless and I will cheat on you

MAN: WOW! I thought you’d be worse… will you marry me?

Woman: No…. check back next week, I’m seeing if I can do better.

Hey, baby, what's yuor sign?So, Ladies, you want to bring about a better world?… whirled peas? … here’s your chance… and chances are if you look better than this gal… you’ll probably get your own county.

Weenie men & the ‘professional career women’ who love them….

Don’t you just love this title?
 

We’re taking about ‘Career-is-my-life Gals” again… the ones who idolize Catie Couric. I guess I just still can’t forgive her for being rude to that nice ol country boy Garth Brooks. Yeah, her politics suck, too.
too many bonks on the old bean
My guess is that most of the female bloggers who were ‘offended’ by the Forbes editorial just loOoOve Johnny… the original ‘weenie’… but I think he is working on only one testicle… so I should play nice. If you thought my comments hit the topic “Don’t Marry a Career Woman” hard… check out what else is out there in the blogosphere.

Bur first, not too many men blogged about this… It really wasn’t a big deal to us…. not to anyone with an ounce of testosterone that is. When I first read it on Forbes.com… I thought… okay, this is slightly amusing… but statistics — when genuine — don’t lie. Then came the tsunami of emotional, irrational, hysterical (got the picture?) fembot foo.

Some Folks had to say this:
 
Vox Day
Mangan’sMicellany

They may not be ‘conservative’ but they have sized up life fairly well. All one can hope for is that our children will face the world for what it is… and not what they would like it to be. Politics should never get in the way of the facts, science or truth. Continue reading “Weenie men & the ‘professional career women’ who love them….”
