I was born very early on a Friday morning, but I know the feeling.

Ahhh, come on, let's work together...

Canned Heat - Let's Work Together

Together we'll stand
Divided we'll fall
Come on now people
Let's get on the ball
And work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, every girl and man
People, when things go wrong
As they sometimes will
And the road you travel
It stays all uphill
Let's work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
You know together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and man
Oh well now, two or three minutes
Two or three hours
What does it matter now
In this life of ours
Let's work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, every woman and man
Ahhh, come on now...
Ahhh, come on, let's work together...
Well now, make someone happy
Make someone smile
Let's all work together
And make life worthwhile
Let's work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and man
Oh well now, come on you people
Walk hand in hand
Let's make this world of ours
A good place to stand
And work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and man
Well now together we will stand
Every boy, girl, woman and man

The Man Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

FINALLY, the guys' side of the story.
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)
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. Men are NOT mind readers.

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 complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon,
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

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. 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. 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.

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. Pumpkin is also a fruit.
We have no idea what mauve is.

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

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 baseball
OR FOOTBALL!! .

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.

Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Cute, aren't they.

They say they're only gonna be here for a couple of weeks!

At least they don't eat much.

And they're quiet.

(and, no, I never did paint the damn porch, Angi. I am pathetic)

Settling down to watch the Kentucky-Arkansas game on ESPNU. Just opened a couple of beers, one for me and one for Bricker. I doubt he shows up so I'll probably drink his, too.

As Cindy said to me earlier, life is good.

Be even better if Kentucky wins!

Johnny Cash PSA: We are all Americans - Vote on Nov. 4th!

Kentucky Basketball Tradition

Here in the Bluegrass, we love our horseracing. We get a little passionate about football.

But, we eat, sleep, and breathe Kentucky Wildcat Basketball!

No, it's more than that. It's a religion. We worship the University of Kentucky's basketball program.

At the shrine known as Rupp Arena!

Big Blue Madness 2008 Men's Basketball Intro

Big Blue Madness 2008 Welcome

I've got a feeling this is going to be a real good year for the Cats!

Someone has stolen my profile picture.

So any smarmy comments, or comments in bad taste that you receive from me, may not be from me.

Odds are, they probably are, but double check before you attack me, please.

Conversely, should a comment sound far to intelligent to be coming from me, be wary.

At least the guy seems to have a pretty good sense of humor!

 Dan (TheTheologiansCafe) says he has lost his TRUE badge. How can that be possible? He has posted over 4200 entries and has over 1000 recent comments.

I asked him yesterday if he had turned it off in his account settings, and he says no, he didn't know you could turn it off.

I only have a LIFE badge, not true enough for Xanga yet, but when I click on the link to check my TRUE status, there is a button at the top to toggle my LIFE or PREM  badge on or off (asks whether I want to display it or not).

To those that have TRUE badges, can you help him out?

Is there a button in your settings that asks whether you wish to display your TRUE badge or not?

He also says his PREM badge is gone, and since that is a paid badge Xanga would not just turn that off without notice.

Nuff Said.

But, to be fair, I spent 45 minutes searching Google images for John McCain cartoons, also.

The

man

is

just

not

funny!

Not even a wry smile in the bunch.

See?
