Men's Rules

We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us bitching about you leaving it down.

1. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!

1. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

1. Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.

1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Check your oil! Please.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We refuse to answer.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

1. All men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. No you really do have too many shoes.

1. BEER (Videogames-my input) is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don't mind that, it's like camping.

1. I'm in shape. ROUND is a shape.

Yet another Lawyer Joke

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Sheriffs Deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the Deputy because he is sure that he has a better education. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputies expense...

Deputy says, "License and registration, please."

Lawyer says, "What for?"

Deputy says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign ."

Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."

Deputy says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."

Lawyer says, "What's the difference?"

Deputy says, "The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop,that's the law.>License and registration, please!"

Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slowdown and stop, I'll give you my license and registration and you give me the ticket, if not you let me go and no ticket."

Deputy says, "Exit your vehicle, sir."

At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer and says: "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"

She dress's quickly and goes to find him. The son see's his mom and asks' "What were you and dad doing?"The mother replies "Well you know your dad has a big tummy and sometimes I have to get on top of it to help flatten it.""You're wasting your time." says the boy. "Why is that?" asked him mom, puzzled. "Well when you go shopping the lady next door comes over and gets on her knees and blows it right back up."

Phil=Freepcreep

Below is part of my email thread with Phil, or shall I say "Freepcreep". I finally found out who Freepcreep, my online stalker, was because of his little mistake, however strange it may be. That's cool. Phil always had a weird sense of humor. He's still a good friend. Thanks again for the bike jersey, Phil. Let's go biking sometime.



Very strange... Oh, now I get it. There is some dude in my apartment complex whodoes a lot of biking. He's the one who sent it to you. He says the jersey isbrand new and never been worn.Phil

Dear Phil,

The address on freepcreep's envelope which had the bike jersey matched the address on the envelope of the Christmas card you sent me. Oh yeah, thanks for the Christmas card too. It was a nice one.Take care,David

Sarah Passes her Board Exams

Congratulations to Sarah for passing her pharmacy board exams. She passed the NAPLEX and CPJE. Now, she is a full fledged pharmacist. I'm pretty stoked.

South Korean man dies after 50 hours of videogames

This is a total tragedy. Don't worry it's not about me. Even I don't play for that long straight. Maybe I would do it for one whole day. This guy actually quit his job to devote his time to playing games. Now, that's dedication.

Another Joke

A woman walks into a hillbilly bar. She eats some food, but gets something caught in her throat. She starts panicking and turns blue. One hillbilly asks her if she is okay and she shakes her head "no". The hillbilly then pulls down her skirt and panties and starts licking her butt. The woman was so startled she coughs up the food that was caught in her throat and starts to breathe again. The hillbilly walks back to the bar. Another hillbilly says, "Wow! I've heard of it being done, but I've never actually seen anyone do the hindlick maneuver before."

The Chevy SSR. I guess this hotrod truck would be more practical than a Miata, but you can't really carry that much or tow much. I have more pictures on my Yahoo Photo Album. Let me know if you want to see more. I'll give you the link. You can also find the link to my Photo Album through my past blogs. 

This Vette seems to be a good fit for me. If only the freeways were like the autobahn... 

The 400 hundred horse power Cadillac CTS-V. Now, this ain't your daddy's Cadillac.  

So many different colors to choose from. I don't think that I should get a Vette though, because I'm sure I'll probably be sent to jail. You know that I always have to test out the maximum speed on the roads. I'll probably just get a minivan for my next car to drive around my future mini-me's and mini-Sarah's. The thought of having kids scares me though, because I'm so tired from working right now. I can't imagine how much more tired I'll be once we have kids. 

Here's a Saturn spyder they're planning on launching soon. This is a good image car for Saturn, because Saturn doesn't have any hot cars yet. 

Sarah also drove some hot cars. Unfortunately, she failed to seize upon the opportunity to drive like a maniac. She just drove the speed limit instead. Boring. 

I wish I had pictures and videos to show you guys of my crazy awesome driving skills. You all know I'm the best driver, right? 

Here are some pictures from GM's Auto Show In Motion. Sarah and I got to drive a bunch of different cars, but we didn't take pictures of the cars that we drove. It was like a race course there so we felt too pressured to get in and drive. Plus, it was too dangerous too take pictures on the course. People were driving way too fast there. I got to drive the Corvette, Cadillac CTS-V, Chevy SSR, and the Pontiac GTO. Those cars all had 400 horses. I also enjoyed driving the Hummer H2 on the offroad course. I also liked the BMW 530i, Audi A4, and the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Car. I plan on going there again real soon. 

Here's Sarah and I riding this 2005 Z06 Corvette. We went to GM's Autoshow in Motion on Sunday, July 31, 2005. I got to drive this 400 horsepower monster and smoked the tires. It was awesome. We got to drive a bunch of other cars too. We had a blast.  

You're wonderful!
