Jeopardy Brenda's Tips for a Better Marraige

LOVE HER LIKE YOU LOVE YOUR FAVORITE TEAM

1) KNOW HER STATS…. You know that Grady Sizemore’s 2006 batting average was 290 and that Gaylord Perry had an ERA of 1.92 in 1972, but you can’t remember her birthday, her favorite movie or favorite color. If you have to, write all of her info down on the back of her picture in your wallet… just like they do on baseball cards!

2) LISTEN TO HER AS CLOSELY AS YOU’D LISTEN IF IT WAS FOURTH AND ONE IN A TIED GAME WITH ONLY :30 SECONDS LEFT …. You don’t let your mind wander off during a close game, don’t let it wander when she wants to be close to you. Women expect you to remember everything they tell you. Five minutes of full attention, can earn you ten minutes of total quiet during a game.

3) YOU WEAR YOUR TEAMS COLORS PROUDLY, DO THE SAME WITH CLOTHES SHE BUYS YOU…. So, the shirt is a little too metro sexual for your taste, just wear it. She took the time to buy something nice for you, don’t disrespect her thoughtfulness. Besides, any man who can walk around wearing a Dawg mask, with a bone in his mouth, shouldn’t be embarrassed by a mauve polo shirt.

4) DON’T BE A FAIRWEATHER FAN… She’s been a little crabby lately. She’s in the middle of a big project and ignoring you. Or since the baby came, she doesn’t wear makeup or shave her legs as often. Did you walk away from the Browns after the fumble or the drive? No, you did not. Your loyal support means everything to her. Marriage is a like being a Cleveland sports fan… you’re in it for better or worse.

5) DON’T PLAY IN A FANTASY LEAGUE. There is no free agency in marriage. If things aren’t as exciting as they were when you first got married, find ways to spice things up with fun ideas like ten cent beer night or wearing the Dawg Mask to bed every now and then. Remember, if you’re looking for happiness, you should look no further than your own bullpen.

Twas Christmas In July

TWAS LATE IN JULY
AND ALL THROUGH THE STATION
PEOPLE SCURRIED ABOUT
WITHOUT FOOD OR HYDRATION

THEY WERE HARD AT WORK
THERE WAS SO MUCH TO DO
SECRETLY THEY HUDDLED
THAT "BEHIND THE SCENES" CREW

IT WAS SKIPPY, RICK, JOE, RUSTY, BRENDA
AND SOME GUY NAMED TED
THEY WERE MESSING WITH SONG LOGS
THEY WERE LAYING DOWN BEDS

IT WAS STEAMY HOT OUTSIDE
BUT WE COULD ALL SENSE THE CHILL
OF SOMETHING IMPORTANT
GUARANTEED TO BRING A THRILL

LISTENERS WERE UNSUSPECTING
OF WHAT LAY AHEAD
ROUSED BUT CONFUSED
THEY SUDDENLY ROSE FROM THEIR BEDS

WAS THAT CHRISTMAS MUSIC THEY HEARD
COMING THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR?
OR WAS IT AN ILLUSION
CAUSED BY TOO MANY BEERS?

THEY SHOOK OFF THE DELUSION
DENIAL AND DISBELIEF,
AND SUDDENLY THEY REALIZED
WITH A BOLD SENSE OF RELIEF

WHY IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY
DONE IN WDOK STYLE
THEY CHUCKLED AS THEY HEARD SONGS
THEY HADN'T HEARD IN A WHILE

THEIR FEET STARTED TAPPING
THEY ALL STARTED HUMMING
EXCITED AND HAPPY
FOR THEY KNEW MORE WAS COMING

IT WAS THAT JOLLY YOUNG ELF
KNOWN TO MANY AS TRAPPER JACK
WHO HAD PATIENTLY WAITED MONTHS
TO BRING CHRISTMAS BACK

LISTENER SPIRITS SOARED
SUMMER DOLDRUMS WERE LIFTED
AND THAT'S WHEN TRAPPER STARTED SHARING
HOW THEY ALL COULD BE GIFTED

JUST GO TO WDOK DOT COM
TO WIN CHRISTMAS TREES OR A FREE DINNER
FIND TRAPPER IN A SANTA HAT
AND YOU COULD BE A WINNER!

HE GAVE AWAY TICKETS AND PRESENTS
AND ALL THAT HE COULD
AND HE MURMURED TO OTHERS
THIS FEELS SO DARN GOOD

CHRISTMAS IN JULY
IT FINALLY WAS HERE
TRAPPER DABBED HIS EYES AND SAID
"LET'S DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR"!

Christian the Lion

Terry tells the story of Christian the Lion, adopted as a cub by two guys who released him in Africa when he grew up. They went back to Africa later to find Christian. That reunion is what this video supposedly shows:

6 Secret Ways To Turn Her On

From MensHealth.com, here are Six Secret Ways To Turn Her On:

1. Ditch the Cell Phone. Any guy who can't go 2 hours without checking in with his friends, his job, his family, comes across as desperately insecure. Turn it off in front of her. She will recognize you as the man who is comfortable and at peace with what's in front of him.
2. Fix Something. But try to do it in her presence. But make sure it's something fairly complicated, not just changing a light bulb. There's a fine line between looking manly and looking like a doofus..
3. Read a Book. Reading in public is a great way to give women an excuse to talk to you.
4. Replace Bottles on a Watercooler. It's a quick, easy way to make the chicks in the office sit up and take notice of your athletic prowess. You know those bottles aren't that heavy, but who cares, because women think they are.
5. Write E-Mails Longer than 5 Words. Men are all about keeping things short and to the point, but in chick world, this translates into boring and uninterested. If she writes, "How was your night?" Do not just write back, "It was okay." Expound a little.
6. Disagree With Her. Women tend to test the limits of a man's patience and generosity. Some time, when she's going on and on about something you've done wrong, and you've apologized for the tenth time, just say, "Shut up."

Here's how to do it:

A Field Guide to Office Workers

From the Joy of Tech, it's a Field Guide of Office Workers:

The Arrival Checker: Usually sighted twenty minutes before the official starting time. Feeds on the worried looks of co-workers faces. Considered a pest by everyone - except the boss.

Eyes Open Sleeper: Not as rare as they would seem. Long winded meetings and PowerPoint presentations are their natural habitat. Often this person calls out "Yes Sir" if startled.

Blackberry Addict: Easily identified by its tell-tale posture, shoulders hunched, fingers typing. Difficulty with awareness actually makes them prey for the office prankster.

Smoke breakers: Found outside in small groups regardless of weather. Any outward display of coolness is nullified by short life span and their smoky odor.

Too Tight Tie Guy: This guy has bizarre, suicidal dress habits. Could be storing fat for downsizing, or perhaps exhibiting a subconscious desire to asphyxiate himself in order to escape captivity.

Brooding IT Guy: Meek exterior can idea quiet, seething rage. Knows more about you and your computer habits than you do. Treat him with respect and assign in mundane work at your own peril.

The Strip Club for Lunch Guy: Loud and overbearing, they sometimes travel in packs. Often seen leering at office females. Scientists are mystified over why they are not yet extinct.

The Office Supply Pincher: Driven by bitter instincts and feelings they aren't paid enough, they hunt and gather office supplies and hide them in desks, or take them back to their nests
