Checking In

How is everyone doing? You guys have been on m heart lately and I want you to know I am praying for you. (i should call, but the blog needs some life). I am doing well. Miller is now crawling all over and pulling up on everything. He destroys everything, which has earned him the nickname @destructatron (follow him on twitter). E and I are well. She is enjoying counseling at the counseling center our church has and loves being a mom. I am tired of being associate! But hopefully have some fun things on the horizon in January. If not here in the Boro then I will be looking else where. I was disappointed about the lack of an iphone 5 today. I am currently reading "The Blessing" by John Trent and Gary Smalley along with other books on evangelism and ethics for seminary....those are boring. I love you all and miss you all.

Just let us know how you are doing and what are somethings happening in your life if you dare.

Let's All Pretend It's April 18th

Happy Birthday, Seth.

it's brandon's birthday...

who cares.

It's a girl

Found out last week, and had to tell some family. I am starting my gun collection and push-up regimin as of today. Andrew/Landon, what advice do you have for me?

it's nothing

it's something

crazy

And now, a gift for you

For your birthday, Justin (2 pics)

Remember, no matter how old you get, my butt will always sweat more than yours.



And a bonus pic to go along with it. A few things: Keep the comments about Lamar Odom to a minimum; Where's Feeney?; Adam looks like Wolverine with those mutton chops.



Happy Birthday, Big Cat.

Does this look like Perkins?

I know it's lame but...

I can't quit listening to the Casey Anthony trial.  They have the courtroom feed streaming live all day everyday.

The Other Dancing Outlaws

Just started watching The Wonderful and Wild Whites of West Virginia streaming on Netflix. It's basically the sequel to Dancing Outlaw. So far it looks promising and you get Jesco 20 years later.

That is one F'd up family!!!

So about that new map that Kevin made.....

You know that cool map that Kevin made with the Aaron's new location... well that might need to change. Next week I'm moving to San Deigo (founded by the German's) to take a new job with NuVasive. Working in Supply Chain with our Cervical products. ACDF products and Cortical Cancellous bonegraft (I'm gonna guess that only Aaron knows what that means).

It's a good opportunity and I'm in a position to make a move like this. I'm about 10% excited. The other 90% I feel like I'm going to throwup. Those percentages will gradually change as I get out there, get settled, and get working. Your prayers are definitely appreciated. I can once again say that as the stressful, uncertain times come into my life I lean on God more and more. I wish I always had as much focus and trust.

If you need a place to stay I probably can't help. It costs something like $1,700 a month for a 200 square foot apartment out there so I won't have the room. My cost of living calculations might be a little off, but it aint cheap out there. (Mental note, stop saying "aint" and replace with "tubular" or "brah")

That's my news. Hope everyone is doing well! Go Padres!

Forget Bastard Children Blogs

I started to update my spinoff blog but I decided I just wanted to let you guys know what was going on with me on The Original.

Jenny and I have been out here in LA 11 months now and our time is coming to an end. The time has come where my training is complete and I'm finally going to get a real job. In August I will be returning to Columbia, Mo. to work in the family medicine and orthopedic departments at Mizzou. The job is everything I was hoping for in my first job out of fellowship. I will be able to teach residents and medical students. I also wanted to continue to have a family medicine practice and I'll have 4 family medicine and 4 sports medicine clinics each week. I will also be working with the Univ. of Missouri athletes in some fashion but I don't know specific details at this point.

New orthopedic offices where I will have my sports medicine clinics.

Jenny and I are both excited to be closer to our families. Jenny's dad is doing very well with his battle against cancer. His blood tests and CT scans have been free of cancer. Today was actually his birthday and every special day is a big milestone. My brother and his wife had a beautiful baby girl 2 months ago and Jenny and I are excited to have a little niece. I never would have guessed it but Alex has become a frequent blogger and updates their site with lots of pictures.

Now some random things...

What I'm watching - Dexter Season 3. We had heard about Dexter from different people over the past few years but finally gave it a chance on Netflix. We streamed the first 2 seasons and now are almost done with season 3. It's gruesome but clever.

What I'm drinking - Moscow Mule. Jenny and I stumbled upon this drink last year and we've loved them in the summertime ever since. We like to modify the original recipe and use ginger ale instead of ginger bear.

What sports team I'm into - Sporting Kansas City. If you follow me on Twitter you know I've been tweeting quite a bit about soccer. I played quite a bit of soccer growing up but stopped around 13 or 14 when it got to be too busy. After the World Cup in 2006 I really started following it again but I've never been into the MLS. This year it has changed with Kansas City undergoing a rebranding (used to be the Wiz then the Wizards) and opening a new stadium. I love that you can follow almost all the players on Twitter and you feel like you actually know the guys on more of a personal level.

I hope to see you guys this summer when Jenny and I head down to Tennessee. It will probably be in early to mid-August and I'll let you guys know when we get closer.

RED RIVER RULES

Back from the dead....

Two Beards

This place is dead anyways

Wait for it...

next years movie for Manlympics: Blood Debts

See more funny videos and TBT at Todays Big Thing.

WOM VII Pictures

Here are a few. I'll put up all the candid shots tonight.

The Peoples champion

Happy Hunting

Time for the Duke to find a new home men. See you at the cabin.

Rules have been set

Men,

I received a letter yesterday! It has laid down the rules for taking care of the cabin. The rules are as follows:

1. Do not put coffee grounds in the disposal
2. Do not pour grease over the railing on the deck. Go off the deck and pour grease in the side or back yard. Last year the got all over the down stairs rail and it was difficult to clean up.
3. The TV remote instructions are written by the remote.
4. Do not use the 2 sofas as beds. Use downstairs beds if needed.
5. Do not use the dishwasher. Tea towels are in a kitchen drawer, for drying dishes.

Let us all remember to clean well men! I was thinking we could all chip in a 5 spot to buy Nonnie some flowers. Just to stay on her good side.

As you can see the beard is growing, be ready.

UNtil THen,

WOMVII Meal Post

Are we going to get a food plan ready or are we going to hunt and eat turtles from the river?  I'm good either way.  I say since Justin is the commish this year, he assigns food duties.

I don't know what this picture is, but I thought it struck me funny.

Tires and Fires (Kick'em and Light'em)

Seeing as how our proposed date (Mar 11-13) for WOMVII is about 3 weeks away, perhaps we should solidify plans for that.

My only hope is that the dearth in blog traffic and the general malaise in excitement for this year is our individual suppression of emotion that will erupt in a deluge of primeval screams and beastly facial hair leaving all in its wake dumbfounded if not more manly.

First, we need to find out where we are going. Adam--have you been in contact with PawPaw? I know you have a baby and all, but maybe you can use Junior as leverage in getting the old man's permission. I'm sorry that so much depends on you, but it's all we got (for free).

Second, but just as important (although contingent on Adam's answer), is March 11-13 still good for everyone. Seeing as how I am the furthest away (save Aaron), we are going to be in town that week before anyway (they give us a week off for Mardi Gras down here), so it works best for me.

Third, after Adam answers number 1--let's get a roll call of who all is in and then we can plan meals accordingly.

Fourth, I love you.

Lebo's Loonies

Tennessee Tech upset Austin Peay tonight at the Hoop. I started looking around on the internet for Lebo's Loonies links and pics and didn't find too much. I wondered if any of you guys had any extra pictures from games or trips. I'd love to get them all scanned in a on a web album. I don't know if there is any kind of loonie section now.

I did find this Facebook Group for TTU Loonies, but unfortunately it has no members.

I remember at some point when I was moving last summer I came across one of our old fan information sheets that I used to print up with all the players information. Probably my favorite of all time was, "Do it for Dorthea!"

We also have had many impostors across the Southeast. I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

UT-Chattanooga


Auburn - Jeesh...this one was almost obvious trademark infringement. Damn, we should have gotten a sponsor like this for our shirts who would've given us deals on food.

I'm also proud to say that this googleing "lebo's loonies" now brings you to our blog.

Andrew Stacy is older!

Happy Birthday Jolly ole Friend! You are celebrate as a great friend, English Teacher, Golden Duke Champion, the only person I know that can open his goozle, and the guy who once was pissed at me for picking EDNA (no central heat and air! Andrew hates to be hot.).

Men feel free to add to this!

Numnuts! Nunley is 30!

Happy Birthday Adam!

Searching "the Nunley" brought up some interesting things today.

Have you ever been to Nunley Ranch? It's in Pelham, TN and I'm surprised you don't already have a t-shirt from there.

I also left you a little surprise on wikipedia wikipedia.

_____ Anniversary of Citico Creek

I can't remember how many years ago we ventured to the Tennessee-North Carolina wilderness to the land of the bad black bears, but every MLK day I think back to Landon reading "I have a dream..."


The 2nd post ever on The Men of EDNA was actually about the Return to Citico.

Does anyone have online pictures for the First Citico Creek adventure?

Nunley's Only State Championship

The only State Championship Hendersonville will ever win.  C-Town will go ahead and give this one to you.  I bet it was your 13 tumbles that won it for you.

Commandos dominate Lions 28-10

Obviously, #51 is preoccupied with baby diapers to start trash talking about this week's game so I'll do it for him.

sad times for the makers of shrubberies

Men,

I have a new job. If you are in the market for a new bank, come see me. I now work for Suntrust, and I am in the Hillsboro Village branch. Andrew, Suntrust does not have a location in Louisiana, so keep your dirty creole money where it is. I still haven't met your daughter.

Also, we have a contract on a house. You can view it here.

This mother of a yard is big enough to host the next Manlympics.

Lastly, U2 is playing in Nashville in July. Hope to see you all there.

I miss you all.

So Andrew your wife is Pregnant!

What? I found out on facebook. I guess you can't please everyone. But in honor of your sucess I will post this link....http://stuffchristianslike.net/2010/10/zach-galifianakis-gets-two-ferned-awkward-awesome-video/

Enjoy and congrats! Men I miss you all and I repent from my lack of checking the blog.

Story

Mystery revealed

Men,
I apologize for the delay in writing this.

On Saturday morning at 9:00, I left on one of the most ridiculous trips I have ever been on.

But before I get into that, I feel I explain a little bit first. We go to church with a gentleman we will call S. S is wealthy. S has never been married. S is also retired.

So for fun, he goes to casinos all over the place, and has been doing so for some time. He goes so much, that he has acquired a certain status with multiple casinos. These statuses allow him certain amenities. This trip showcases a few of those amenities.

About 2 months ago, S had an idea to bring a few friends with him to the casino, and the casino thought that was a swell idea. S said, i want to bring my banker and some of his friends, and they became bigger fans of this idea. He had been promised a limo to pick him up and drive him home in the past, so he cashed that in for this trip. Imagine their disappointment when S's banker and his friends turn out to be me and 4 friends under the age of 30. I imagine they were hoping for 6 "whale's" like S, but instead it was one "whale" and 5 "minnows". On to the trip....

At 9:00, we had this pick us up in Nashville. This would be our ride to and from the casino, round trip. (Its worth pointing out that every bill or tab we had along the way, the casino picked up.)



Instead of heading straight to the casino at 11:00, S and the Casino had arranged for us to play 9 holes of golf at a course nearby. all golf expenses, including lunch and range balls were on the casino's tab. Not only that, we had a host there to play with us who was a former PGA professional for 15 years on the west coast, giving us free lessons. Landon, this guy was money. Had a Bob Murphy-esque swing, but each shot was so pure it was sickening. Finally, the casino decided to send the General Manager of the casino out to play with us as well. Imagine his surprise when he sees the "whales" S has brought into town.

After golf, we head to the hotel and they set us up with our rooms. S has his usual suite, pictured below. It is sick.






We had 2 other rooms, that were nice as well, just not suites. Again, the hotel comped all of these rooms.

We clean up and head down to the casino. S is an all-star. Everyone knows his name, and welcomes him back. We gamble for an hour or so before dinner. We have all been comped buffet dinner, which was awesome. Casino food is actually pretty good. and they had everything imaginable.

We gamble for the rest of the night. Half of us end up winning, the other half lose what we came with. I was in the losing half. Aaron, there was only 2/5/no limit poker available, so there was no 3/6. I was bummed about that.

We had free breakfast on Sunday morning at one of their restaurants. S had comp money left over, so he got 4 pies to go with the rest of the free money. Then our bus brought us back to Nashville.

The moral of this story? Casino's have so much money, they can waste it on low-spending players such as myself. As long as you know the right people.

I like his intensity

HE'S BACK!

Billy "USA" Mitchell has taken the crown again. He broke the record for Donkey Kong Jr. while he was at it. Is there anything the man can't do, besides cutting his mullet? He obviously can't do that.

Dublin Desperado

It was sunny afternoon in Dublin. Earlier that day a “friend”, Mowens, had dropped us off in a rough part of town after touring the Guinness Storehouse. We had no idea where we were but Mowens had to get the rental car back to Wexford so he left us near where he thought was a post office. We had to mail souvenirs back to the states because our backpacks were out of room. The post office we were near didn’t mail packages so we trekked down ghetto streets with Irish hooligans eyeing our Osprey packs. At the next post office there were no boxes. Pissed, we walked out the door and our fears that we were in an area that we didn’t belong were confirmed when some random woman said, “you guys probably shouldn’t be walking around here, this isn’t the best part of town.” Soon our badass takedown of a villain preying on an uptown cougar would prove there was no part of town we didn’t belong.

We were searching for a luggage store so Phillip could get all his Bushmills, Old Middleton, and Jameson whiskey back across the Atlantic since no one would ship it. Luckily, his hands were free to bash goon head since he had dropped all of the liquor off at the hostel (we had to sneak it past all of the Czech and Swedish girls who were ready to partay). We were having a hard time finding the luggage store so we asked someone for help. We followed her directions and as we approached the next intersection (see picture) a lanky guy with bug eyes came sprinting around the corner. By sprinting I mean that the woman wearing high heels and yelling, “stop him, he stole my purse!” was actually gaining ground on him before they got to the road. We were within about 30 yards from the purse snatcher but he was so slow that I turned to Philip and nonchalantly said, “I think that guy took that woman’s purse. Yeah, he did. He is holding in his hand under his jacket,” to which Phillip responded, “should we stop him?” Answering his own question, the hero of this story squatted down into a 3 point stance ready to spear this thug through his ribcage. When he finally arrived he saw his deathblow coming and juked Phillip. It turned out that while he runs a 9 second 40 he could move laterally like Chris Johnson. I closed up the strong side gap while Phillip moved in, stopped the thief, and took the purse. About that time two ninja leprechauns appeared out of nowhere, gave each other a high five, shouted “lets get him!” and showed their teeth. One put the shifty canine-like crook in a chokehold while the other grabbed his legs. Then, his buddy came up and said, “don’t hurt him, he’s a crackhead.” The leprechauns responded, “Where da gold at?” The ninja leprechaun let him go, not out of sympathy (ninja leprechauns don’t have feelings) but because the crackhead bit him. He shimmied away and scaled a fence.

At some point the woman got her purse back. She thanked the hero who walked away proudly yet unscathed. Well, except for the awful smell of the Dublin desperado that lingered on throughout the night. As the marshal and his sidekick walked away I looked down and the wind blowed something green along the sidewalk like a prairie dog. How it got to Ireland I don’t know. It was a five dollar bill.

Well...obviously we have a rapist in Lincoln Park

Go to 56 seconds in for the good part

Yesterday

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

What shadow hangs over me making me feel like half a man? The shadow of Lippy the Hippy. Yesterday, this forsaken blog didn't mention the day of his birth but today we will celebrate. He is THE HOLDER OF THE DUKE and THE SULTAN OF GOLF SWAT. HIS SINUS CAVITIES SO LARGE THAT HE SNEEZES TORNADOES. May he pose as his trivia character, Juan, and bask in the sunshine of our love.

Happy Birth(yester)day Justin.

WOM VI

Discussion

In an effort to shake up the games next year, I have joined the Art of Manliness Community, and started a discussion on what Manly games and tests of strength could be included in next years games. The more sets of eyes we can get on this, I figure, the better the games can be. Just letting you all know.

I went through and look at the pictures of previous weekends, and Kevin, you have really gotten husky.

Just a little Taste!

I thought you all could use a little motivation! This is me at a waterfall a ran to in my lumberjack out fit! I then cut down 13 trees in honor of my 13 tackles in the State Championship game. Get ready! Plus I couldn't figure out how to put this picture in my comments!

Meals

Picking up from the last 2 comments on the previous post here. If we rotate one meal forward, the meals would be as follows:

Justin, Landon and Seth - Saturday Breakfast
Adam, B, and Kev - Saturday Dinner
Andrew, Ross and Aaron - Sunday Breakfast

If this is incorrect, please let me know, but I think this is right based on last year's meals. Either way, the breakfasts are basically the same, so dinner is the only change.

Happy Valentines day!

Shaming and Rides

EDIT: I put up a poll for the shirts -->

Men, I have given up on the previous post's questions being answered. Adam, don't worry about emailing me, you have failed. I hope you deduct points from yourself for jeopardizing our t-shirt for this year. So, help me if I have to bedazzle a 10-pack of Hanes Beefy T's, we will have a shirt.

RIDES: Use this post's comments to figure them out.

When you've done that, go here http://www.badassoftheweek.com/list.html and get inspired for WOMVI.

Man's Weekend VI

Being the Man Olympics games official, I have some things that must be discussed and voted on:

1. Lets make sure me get the winners of the Man Olmpics Right. Who won and what year and did they get a trophy or not. Is this correct: 1st year JDL won, 2nd year no games, 3rd year Landon (who created the Duke), 4th year JDL, 5th year NUMNUTS
2. Kevin will you make the T-shirts? Bobby head printed them last year and I can get the design of last year to you. I think we should just replace the face and I think we should replace it with Teddy Roosevelt. Kevin you get bonus points for doing the T-shirt. You can also do a new one if you want.
3. THE Games: (ones with asterisk beside them are definitely going to be done, the rest should be critiqued and voted on)

• Greatest Mustache *
• Completion of 30 days to a better man *
• Log Toss *
• Rock Toss *
• Eating contest of a certain food, just for 1 hour
• Guns
• Quiz Event *
• Design T-shirt for next year (this could be something you bring to Man's Weekend)
• Wall Sits or Bow n Tows
• Bow and Arrows or throwing stars/axes (we would find something to throw at targets)
• Pissing Contest *
• Bonus for jumping in the river
• Creative Rap/Song for WOM
• Hold Breath Underwater in the Tub
• Biggest Pile of body hair created at the weekend.
• Relay *
• Best Belch (you only have one chance)
• Most Manly Story from 2009

4. Brandon will be bringing a pipe collection for us all to smoke.

5. Justin, Andrew, and Landon prepare for worship Sunday morning.

6. I also thing we should have the manly gift exchange! $20 dollar limit - We will vote on the most manly gift which will factor in to the winner of the Duke.

Let the thoughts begin and decision be made

News...

I have it on good authority that there will be 9 people at WOM this year.

Good day, sirs.

Thoughts about Man's Weekend...

Seth and I were blasting our pecs today and talking about the gathering of manliness. Here's a few thoughts I had:
- Regarding meals, can different groups prepare different meals? Like if you did Saturday dinner, you have to do something different this time.
- Adam, I know the games are yours this year, had an idea of having an eating contest or tracking our weights to see who could lose or gain the most weight.
- I think I am going to camp out under the stars this year. If anyone would like to join me, I have room in the tent, as well as access to a second tent.
- Are guns back in this year? I assume so.
- What time will everyone be heading down to Paris?
- Do we have a film picked out this year?

In 30 days, I will be gathered with 8 other manly and burly men, and hopefully some of you will have a moustache. My heart is full to bursting, just like my bladder.

I quote this often

Katie has started playing Tetris on her iPod before bed, and I quote this almost every night.

Taking the Influence of Edna West

As most of you know, since the beginning of my family medicine residency I have wanted to do an extra year of training in sports medicine. In November I went on 10 interviews across the country at different programs and was very impressed by them all. Jenny and I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out where we wanted to go.

Today was match day and we found out that we got our first choice and will be moving to Los Angeles in late June. Starting July 1st, I will be a fellow on the sports medicine staff and helping to take care of the UCLA athletes. I will be on the sidelines of home football games in the Rose Bowl and I will have a few teams that will call me their team doc.

We are both quite excited about this adventure in our life next year but it is a little crazy too. I hope some of you all will come out to visit! It's going to be a little warmer to visit then Columbia, Mo. Anyone want to come to Cali learn to surf???

Happy Birthday Landon

You're only 29, but this gives almost a year to learn this, so here's a sample, and a link to the tab. Get to it.


Happy Birthday Red. Leave a comment with your favorite Red story.

6 (part 2)

And we're back....

Adam--what's the word from Pee-Pappy?

Is there a doctor in the house?

Happy Birthday. Always think you look like this guy. Maybe it's the 8 o'clock shadow.

Beech is a Nut not a Football Team

Best of luck to the Columbia Central High School football team Friday night as they step onto the Tennessee Tech football field for the state championship game against Beech. Looks like they will prove once again that Columbia is better than Hendersonville.

Justin or Landon are you guys going to the game?

6

As the time for holiday merriment approaches, let this post serve as a metaphorical "popping of the cork" for the planning of the most important holiday of the year: the Weekend of Men 6.

This year proves to be a good one (i.e. cheaper) as Adam's grandfather-in-law's cabin is renovated, operational, and ready for us to christen in anew. So let the discussions flow.

March seems to be a good time. Allow me to offer up to possible dates. March 5-7 or March 12-14. Anybody lean either way on those dates?

Ready? Go!
