I'll Have The Misogyny Au Gratin, Please
by Steve West on April 15, 2008
We were having dinner with my nephew the other night and the conversation steered toward his numerous relationships.
He replied with that standard chauvinistic response, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"
My wife looked at him directly and retorted, "Yeah, why buy the whole pig for just a little sausage?"
My nephew stammered, "Exactly! I agree. Wait a minute..."
That's my girl.

Sweet! :) I mean, obviously if she married you, she had to have a sense of humor, but a quick wit too? ;)
I kid, of course. I like the new photo, by the way. Makes you look wise and contemplative! :)

Post-vacation Blues
Without going into great detail, my co-workers are muddle-brained knuckleheads that make the Keystone Kops look like a Mensa meeting. Federal sanctions are not that far-fetched. Changes will be made soon. Go »Halloween Post #8: Geek-O'Lanterns
Happy Halloween! Celebrate this absurdly lovable holiday with a time-consuming habit of making a jack-o-lantern. Despite the inherent silliness of carving a gourd as an act of celebration, these pumpkins are very impressive. Go »If I Had A Hammer...
I once heard Leonard Nimoy singing this old Pete Seeger tune and it almost gave me epileptic convulsions. It has nothing to do with this link of an amazing artist who works with Hammer and Nails. It's just that whenever I see a hammer or box of nails or even a picture of Karen Carpenter - that's the song that leaps into my head. Go »Sometimes Romance is Spontaneous
My parents (both passed) dearly loved each other. But with jobs, children, and other business, they found little time to spend on just the two of them. One evening when I was visiting, my Dad came up behind my Mom in the kitchen where she was doing dishes. Go »Christmas Post #2: I Can See Clearly Now
Flashlights. Useful when the power goes out to help me find where I put the friggin' candles after the last time I lost friggin' power. They won't save the contents of my refrigerator but I can watch as the milk slowly curdles because I don't have TV or a computer. Go »

Tell your wife to keep 'em coming, Steve -- I could use some good old-fashioned... misandry???
Ha... well, whatever it's called, that was definitely a good one. ;-)
