A little Motivation and Build UP of Excitement

















Men ,
I thought you and among others would like to see the shirt(Seth this is especially for you). I think it is awesome. Landon and Andrew it is a good blend. Also Justin, I just found out that the boat should be working so if we want to then we can use that in the games. I love you all and I can't wait to see you. Don't forget the shirts are 12 dollars.

UNtil THen,

Weekend Outlook

Here is what we're looking at for the weekend as far as weather goes. My only concern is that the area where we had our firearms activities last year is going to basically be a swamp this year. Even without the chance of rain on Friday, the ground is probably soaked from earlier this week's snow/rain and lack of warm air to dry it out. But, in case it isn't, someone needs to bring something to shoot at. We're driving up in Nunley's Corolla, so I don't think we'll have room to carry a good size backstop for a target. It probably needs to be a sheet of plywood and a couple 2x4's if someone could swing that.

P.S. I hope you like the bbq we had last year, because that's what you're getting this year for Saturday dinner.

The games of the 3rd Manlympics

Here are the games, I have some tweaking to do, but this should give you a place to start practice. When I say "practice" I mean take off work all next week.

- Mystery (This will be a surprise, and will happen first thing Saturday morning)

- Atlas Throw (Boulder toss, measurement taken from the distance thrown thru the air, roll DOES NOT count)

- Football Punt (Total distance through the air AND on the ground, Roll DOES count in this event)

- Clay Target shooting (5 shots and 5 clay targets)

- Paper Target accuracy (Target points are added up after 6 shots from a distance of 10 paces)

- Guitar Hero 3 (Pick a level, pick a song, points from the game determine placement. Key takeaway, if you fail the song, you will be awarded no points. there will be time to practice if you need it)

- Relay race (Similar to the 1st weekend of men, events will be revealed Saturday)

- Written test (A random sampling of Manly trivia and knowledge)

- Bocce/horseshoes tournament - (Placing from the tournament determines points. We can do both horseshoes and Bocce, or just one. Place your vote in the comments)

What we will need:
Brandon England, Horseshoes, Bocce balls, a football, Guns, Ammo, Clay and paper targets. I will supply everything else.

If you have any suggestions for other games, you should win and do it differently next year. As John Locke said on Thursday's Lost, "This isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship." OK, not really, but I wanted to use that line.

Obviously The Duke is up for grabs, but I have prizes for 2nd & 3rd place this year. They don't kick as much ass as the Duke, but they are pretty funny.

Now, what say you!?

Check your local listings and set your DVR...



I just received an e-mail informing me that my Millionaire show will air Tuesday, February 26 (a week from tomorrow). This is like 2 months earlier than we expected, but it also means that if I won any money, we'l be getting that earlier than expected as well, so that's pretty nice. I don't have TiVo or DVR so if someone could get me a recording of it or put it on YouTube, I would be grateful.

May-Day, May-Day!

Last night, on my computer at home I got the Blue Screen of Death and my computer shut down. It restarted but I am unable to access the internet now. Norton keeps giving me this message:

Malicious Script Detected
High Risk
Your Computer is halted and needs to do something about this script.
Object--FileSystem Object
Activity--Get Folder
File--sprtsvc.exe and sprtcmd.exe

Any ideas or should I call Nerd Herd at the Buy More?
Am I on the verge of a crash? Do I have a trojan horse/virus?
I ran my antivirus and it didn't find anything.
Help.

Twister

How are you Memphis guys doing after the big storm. I always miss the big storms down there. The weather channel people were making it sound out to be pretty nasty. Hope you all are well. Sorry about your favorite mall, Ross :(

What about Jackson...that place is a tornado magnet. Nunley - never follow your bride back to that town to establish residence!

Missouri is quiet tonight. Just looking forward to a couple more inches of snow tomorrow. It snows all the time up here compared to the Volunteer State.
