TV commentary:

Walking Dead- Some new stuff, but finally something familiar. So apparently there's a Latino gang holed up in Atlanta protecting some old folks? That's new. And I guess Guillermo's warnings to Rick are a foreshadowing of all the effed up humans they'll eventually run into.

But, they had the zombies attack the camp, killing poor Amy on her way to the loo! Damn, she was cute too! Not that I didn't know that was going to happen. So I'm guessing they're gonna leave. I wonder how far in the "story" they'll make it before the season ends? The farm? The prison?

So, apparently these are the 50 things every guy should know. (And just to get my usual rant out of the way: "Who are they to tell me what I should know!")



(bolding the ones I've at least done once in my life)

50) Change a tire
49) Use a charcoal grill
48) Bong a beer
47) Throw a punch without looking like a sissy- Anyone who says I can't, I owe them a punch in the stomach!
46) Fry a turkey
45) Hook up the cable
44) Pick up a woman with a one liner
43) Get your money's worth at a buffet- I'm pretty sure I have, I usually stuff myself at such places.
42) Some assembly required- who doesn't like building things?!
41) Know your local sports teams- Hey, I can name them, that counts!
40) Pour a beer
39) Jump start a car- I did that this past Saturday in the parking lot of Cinco's (not the first time, either)
38) Throw a football
37) Haggle for a lower price
36) Tie a tie
35) Erect a tent
34) Cast a fishing rod- I'm gonna say know, even though I have gone fishing with my gramps
33) Build a Fire
32) Tap and operate a keg
31) Use a chainsaw
30) Paddle a canoe/kayak- Well, once.
29) Choose a scotch/whiskey
28) Drive a manual car
27) Pick up a girl using a dog a wingman
26) Know how to navigate on a road trip- I mean, I can follow directions and read a map, but I haven't driven on a long enough trip to count this, I think.
25) Perform CPR
24) Iron a shirt- not well!
23) Shine your shoes
22) Do a least ten push-ups- I'm too lazy to even see if I can
21) Dance- depends on how they define dance!
20) Play Poker
19) Parallel Park- again, not well!
18) Unclog a toilet
17) Upgrade at a hotel
16) Rally after a big night of drinking
15) Spot fake breasts- What's the point, like I give a rat's ass if they're fake or not!
14) Choose the right urinal
13) Sew a button
12) Unhook a bra with one hand
11) open a bottle unconventionally
10) talk your way out of a traffic ticket- I've never had occasion to!
9) off-road without flipping the ATV
8) buy a gift for a woman- Does it have to be a good gift? I'm just lousy at gift giving in general, unless the person spells out what they want.
7) Surf the web anonymously
6) Spot a liar
5) Drive in crappy conditions- I've only spun out once!
4) Change a diaper
3) Make a drink
2) Shave
1) Make a mean breakfast- I can eat a mean breakfast, does that count?

Wow, 18 out of 50. I suck. How is gun usage not on this list?!

I agree, gun usage should be on there. have you really never thrown a football? :)

This list makes me feel MANLY. and I think my husband might be batting 100%.

Well, I've technically thrown a football, though not properly. I never really learned how- didn't have occasion to play much football, and when I did I wasn't doing much throwing. Oddly enough, of all the sports I ended up learning to play in gym class, it seems I got to play every team sport but football- lacrosse, soccer, volleyball, softball, basketball, etc but not football.

that's interesting! I would have expected you to at least throw a little bit of football, maybe when you were little. :) funny! We did flag football in jhs and hs -- we actually had TESTS on running routes and plays and stuff. funny stuff.
