Yes, there are exceptions to the rule:<br />1. Chubby chasers,<br />2. Guys with low self esteem,<br />3. Guys with fat mothers<br /><br />However the majority of men who earn a decent living do not date or want to date fat chicks.<br /><br />In the black community the definition of fat is slightly different. White fat, and black fat are different based on body type & genetic make up, but they both have their versions of fat, and the more money you make the less likely you are to be with a fat chick.<br /><br />Fat chicks are the Dodge Neon’s of compatibility. When you were a kid and dreamed of your dream car, it was always, Ferrari’s, Benzes, Lambo’s and Porsche’s. Your dream girls were always super hot, in shape, buxum, and in shape. No one dreams of Neons' and Fat Chicks!!!<br /><br />As you get older and start working, if you worked hard in school and on your job, invested your money wisely, then you can drive that Porsche. You can get that S-class Benzo. If you are moderately successful you might be able to get yourself into a 3 Series BMW or a Used 5 Series – Not really Halle Berry, but not Rosie O’Donnell either. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHC6pRV4T3ro3RibAujUe0yLlQoc_U-aaQmcRPK-b7kfl-xQRKOORVa5Dil_BaWyRHVYzmQJ8u4Xrv8AaiINbeT9vtEeyEnNCLQkbEe4QhbyPYWE0kDwGxZWc8gphum-7z98vk4-L7c0Q/s1600/STRUT-BMW-X5-Cologne-Primary-Grille-1920x1440.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504194600284749746" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHC6pRV4T3ro3RibAujUe0yLlQoc_U-aaQmcRPK-b7kfl-xQRKOORVa5Dil_BaWyRHVYzmQJ8u4Xrv8AaiINbeT9vtEeyEnNCLQkbEe4QhbyPYWE0kDwGxZWc8gphum-7z98vk4-L7c0Q/s200/STRUT-BMW-X5-Cologne-Primary-Grille-1920x1440.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />On the flip side, if you were a slacker, drank and smoked all day, pissed away your early twenties & never made it to college or a decent trade then you are lucky to be driving a 96 Dodge Neon. The exact same thing goes with women.<br /><br />Hot girl = Porsche<br />Fat Girl = Dodge Neon Dodge<br /><br />If someone told these losers this back in High School, they would have straightened out along time ago. Put that equation in your 5th Grade Math book with some pictures and a lot of guys would be earning a lot more money.<br /><br />If you are fat and have landed a man that's making about $50K , the only reason he's staying with you is because it's cheaper. If he dumped you, he wouldn't have enough money for a hot chick - but if he won the lottery I bet dollars to donuts that he would drop your fat a$$ 6 ways from Sunday<br /><br />I would love to hear your feedback.

LeBron was to Dan Gilbert, what Montell Williams was to his wife Grace Morely – A former burlesque dancer, Paul McCartney to Heather Mills (an amputee / former model) and what Tiger was to Elin also a former Model turned Nanny. Dan Gilbert was his “Pretty Woman” (like the movie…sorry for the sappy comparison but if the shoe or show fits…. )<br /><br />Lebron took that franchise from coach class to first class. In 2005 Dan Gilbert brought the Cavaliers for $375 Million. He made $100 million on this investment as of Dec. 2009 when the team was valued at $476 Million. A lot of that value can be attributed directly to Lebron James. He’s not just a good player, but arguably (and I would bet a Kobe steak that he’s not) the best in the league. This attraction leads to ticket sales, TV deals, and sold out playoff games at home.<br /><br />Lebron put all his love and heart into that team, took them to the NBA finals once and have tried to repeat that feat every year since, only to be confronted with failure. Cleveland had the best record in the NBA going into the post season with record attendance and sell outs, but still couldn’t get the job done.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>«:::W:::» «:::I:::» «:::T:::» «:::N:::» «:::E:::» «:::S:::» «:::S:::»</strong></span><br />THE HOUSE THAT JAMES BUILT:<br />Quicken Loans Arena<br />Owner: Gateway Economic Development Corp.<br /><strong>Year Opened:</strong> 1994<br /><strong>Capacity:</strong> 20,562<br /><strong>Cost To Build:</strong> $152 mil<br /><strong>Concessionaire:</strong> Aramark<br /><strong>Average Ticket Price:</strong> $56<br /><br />The Cavaliers experienced a history-making, record-breaking 2008-09 regular season on the court, as well as off the court. Two new franchise records were set in average attendance (20,512) and the number of sellouts (38 total, with the last 29 games of the season all sold out.) Compared to the previous season, Cavaliers merchandise sales were up 80% and local cable TV ratings on FS Ohio increased another 110%. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp4c_tFY2jq7RjmeQy-E1GipTEKxd0rKuRCuq2ZCpl10BE3eKkvpJb8lwO9fTMIu36BKsAG_JHBbcrBtLuUP5OC9qBK1cHlwYkBrSciqYOcpnUA7zUHK7N88nCgV-WWhogjB8VjgZzHog/s1600/1253805771-picture_170.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493466758203863746" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 142px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp4c_tFY2jq7RjmeQy-E1GipTEKxd0rKuRCuq2ZCpl10BE3eKkvpJb8lwO9fTMIu36BKsAG_JHBbcrBtLuUP5OC9qBK1cHlwYkBrSciqYOcpnUA7zUHK7N88nCgV-WWhogjB8VjgZzHog/s200/1253805771-picture_170.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Lebrons’ contribution was undeniable.<br /><br />Once Lebron discovers, that he can't get out of the franchise what he is putting in, he decides to leave. Just like when a man and woman split. When the man has given all he can give, tried everything he could and decides that it’s not working, he leaves.<br /><br />At this point you have to imagine, as the owner of the 5th ranked most valuable NBA franchise, with the number 1 player in the NBA on your team, that you would have a great relationship with that player. Dinners, long talks, mentoring, money making…..in general, a lot of good times!<br /><br />Well when LBJ decides to leave, it got nasty! So nasty in fact that Gilbert lost his cool.<br /><br />"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP<br />BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING' WINS ONE"<br /><br />That's an email that you wait on before you hit send - Gilbert sent that out immediately after "The Decision".<br /><br />With all that James has done and given that team, Gilbert turns into a little bitch. That shows you the depths of human emotion when someone feels betrayed. How could he not respect the decision and give a heartfelt “Thanks”. As a friend when your friend makes an unpopular decision you might disagree and be saddened but you ultimately want him to be happy. Dan Gilbert was never really a friend. Maybe Lebron sensed that and this contributed to his decision to leave, like a husband that feels some alternative motive behind his wives affection.<br /><br />Luckily BronBron had a Prenup called “free agency”! If only every 5 years we could reevaluate our marriages, but since we can't we have real Prenups. No matter how great it appears, and how much fun you are having in the moment, it could turn bad quick! I guarantee you that 2 weeks ago, Labron was on his way out mentally and Dan Gilbert was still in love, with the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9E9gXOThdIblhEyxWdh0Pw09p6qQGgms2FeglCy1oamRA51IhrbnoMv9RWqDMvm2V8GeaJ6gCKYdV7kAB-73aV-RnzAzOX_FDRYpPf4dX2_bzuMvIMzX9IQ6UVIG7XwT_ShVxmCBl9Zo/s1600/097_nike_witness.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493464776084996354" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9E9gXOThdIblhEyxWdh0Pw09p6qQGgms2FeglCy1oamRA51IhrbnoMv9RWqDMvm2V8GeaJ6gCKYdV7kAB-73aV-RnzAzOX_FDRYpPf4dX2_bzuMvIMzX9IQ6UVIG7XwT_ShVxmCBl9Zo/s200/097_nike_witness.jpg" border="0" /></a>Lebron Witness PJ’s, the LBJ poster hanging on his gym locker and drinking the Bron Bron Vitamin Water.<br /><br />Meanwhile Lebron is free and clear.

After awhile we thought that everyone could benefit from this little nugget of knowledge so we added it as a feature on the blog!<br /><br />The Captain’s Critique is the Captain’s opinion of an online personal ad – we figured men can learn what to watch out for, and women can learn what to and not to write.<br /><br />Here goes (exactly as written)……<br /><br /><br /><div><blockquote>For some reason there are so many men that's affraid of independant strong<br />females. I'm strong and Independant and I'll let u wear the pants.. u Just have<br />to know how to wear theme well lol..But at the same time I want someone to spend<br />on me for a change.I want to be wine and dined and treated like a queen.I<br />deserve it I been the giver too long it's my turn..I'm kool, loving, smart,love<br />to laugh.I would love to travel more one day with that special someone.A turn<br />off to me is insecure men.I'm secure i want him to be so we can make things<br />happen.I'm all about building and doing it together. So fellas if u stopped by<br />my page and dont like what u see thats fine.(smile)I'm a great catch, if u have<br />what it takes to catch me. I dont ask for much....smoochez hit me up if u want<br />to learn more about me**<br /></blockquote><br />Wow, after reading that, I’m sure she’s beating the men off with a stick!!<br />First and foremost – Spell check, spell check, spell check. I know us men aren’t looking for brain surgeons but it would be nice to know that my girlfriend could send an email invite to a party without sounding like an idiot.<br /><br />Second, it’s not that men are afraid of independent, strong females, we just can’t stand hearing them talk. Do you see…she will let you wear the pants. Then in the next breath – this battle ax (oh yeah, she’s a big-un) goes on to say that she wants someone to spend on HER for a change. She wants to be wined and dined for crying out loud. I thought you were a strong independent female?!? This screams of a nagging, whining, beyatch who is never satisfied. My dear, you don’t get treated like a queen unless you earn it.<br /><br />Let’s not forget she is kool, with a “K” loving, smart, and loves to laugh and travel. Any broad who says that they love to travel, loves when you spend your money on her to travel. Do you honestly think that this beast has been anywhere besides her local pub? Traveling for her is a trip to the beach chair section of Walmart. A man does not say, “Oh wow, she loves to travel, Great!”. What he does say is, “Oh wow, she is a gourmet cook!”<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMVWNe5y3YB_hkdv0dM7gBc8HyEAzgkeKSo04KLUK5diwXFGeUxuNbQmoJXexOWR1cH2jTdw0eVVSxdy7cslaMKWeQI3l5bBtREkHpqhxMYv7tB7nkuhlp0DKi9l3ee7x7QczSChSpwvc/s1600/Bossy%2520Woman.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484959900657213106" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 120px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 139px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMVWNe5y3YB_hkdv0dM7gBc8HyEAzgkeKSo04KLUK5diwXFGeUxuNbQmoJXexOWR1cH2jTdw0eVVSxdy7cslaMKWeQI3l5bBtREkHpqhxMYv7tB7nkuhlp0DKi9l3ee7x7QczSChSpwvc/s400/Bossy%2520Woman.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />She is turned off by an insecure man, but that’s all she is going to attract with this kind of ad. Any guy worth his balls is going to laugh at this and keep moving. If I’m secure, then why would I deal with this for one second . Why would I look at this ad twice, unless she was smoking hot!! Even then, why, when there are so many other women out there who are smart enough to conceal their intentions and not say, “I want to be treated like a queen”. WARNING: A beyatch who is not even afraid to conceal the fact that she is a beyatch is scary and dangerous.<br /><br />She boasts how great a catch see is, if someone has what it takes to catch her. I could bait a hook with a Double Whopper with cheese and she would be all mine…..but then she would open that pie-hole and start yappin’, and I would have to throw her back!<br /><br />If you have an ad you would like me to critique – please send it to: <a href="mailto:cptjack@gmail.com">cptjack@gmail.com</a><br /><br /><br />This is your Captain Speaking.<br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">An Ftb bloggers blog</span></em><br /><span class="fullpost"></span></div>An FTB Bloggers Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09007031358385922041noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244211321439379234.post-40342219390695669422010-06-14T14:06:00.000-07:002010-06-14T14:06:37.205-07:00The Power of the B.H.C.

<div><br />
</div><div>Gentlemen, another all so powerful tactic to add to your arsenal is the Back Handed Compliment. <br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Hit them with this, when they are not looking, when they least suspect it and you will be thrilled with the results. When you give women a traditional compliment, that boosts their self-esteem and gets them feeling good about themselves. Normally that's a good thing. If it's your wife, or you daughter compliment away (Ok, not too much. We don't want the wife getting too frisky either). </div><div>But if you are dating, use the BHC. This keeps them guessing, keeps them on their toes. It keeps women wondering things like: </div><div><ul><li>Does he find me attractive?</li>
<li>What did he mean by that comment?</li>
<li>Do other people feel that way?</li>
<li>Will he ask me out again? </li>
</ul></div><div><br />
</div><div>Those are the thoughts you want running around in her head; this is the point where she will began to do whatever she needs to do in order to feel desireable. You have her right where you want her, working to gain your approval. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The key to the back-handed compliment is to deliver it in such a way that it is not obvious of your intentions. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Here are three good examples: </div><div>TRADITIONAL #1: Wow your hair looks wonderful</div><div>BHC: Wow, your hair....that's different</div><div><br />
</div><div>TRADITIONAL #2: You are an extremely cool chick</div><div>BHC: It's refreshing to hang out with someone with a great personaility for once. I'm tired of these young chicks who are all looks, with no substance</div><div><br />
</div><div>TRADITIONAL #3: You look really nice this evening. </div><div>BHC: That outfit really has a slimming effect. Nice. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Men you are now armed with a little more knowledge to help you help yourself. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Please comment with any more BHC's you know or use. The more the merrier. </div><div>It's a war out there and we need to Take Back Our Balls. </div><div><br />

Women are dream killers!<br />When a women wants you to do something it's telling you that her dream comes first and that she doesn't care about your dream. They often secretly wish that you never reach your dreams so you can never trade up.”<br /><br />I would have to agree with that, but….and an important but, they are only because we let them.<br />The woman’s angle is that, by keeping you at your status quo, she is the best you can get. There is no risk of you trading up, because she is as good as you can get. So the simple win-win scenario is keep the pressure on. Be all you can be – and force them to be all they can be….OR ELSE!!!<br /><br /><strong>KIDS!!</strong><br />One of the quickest ways to kill a man’s dreams is by getting pregnant. Watch this like a hawk. You have children when you are good and ready to have children and the only way to do that is by wearing a condom! Period. 100% of the Time!! “…but I want to feel you inside me Daddy”<br />Bull Crap!! Gentlemen, having a baby is like having an exotic car payment that fluctuates for 18 years. 216 monthly payments! Sit down and ask yourself, if I brought a Lamborghini right now and had to drive it for 18 years, could I still accomplish my dreams. And Trust me, that’s simplifying things. Changing oil’s got nothing on a dirty, sweet peas and carrots stanky diaper!!<br /><br /><strong>SPEND MORE TIME & MONEY ON ME!</strong><br />If you hear this because you are working towards your dreams and saving – forget it. If you satisfy this craving there will be something else. Trust me. Women are born to nag and men are born to give in. Just remember, when you are giving in, you are letting them kill your dreams.<br /><br />If she wants to go on vacation, she will nag and nag until you are out of 5G’’s.

Here’s a guy who has got it all: money, power, fame, women, and enough tech toys that would make James Bond jealous. Oh, yeah - and he can fly.<br /><br />Although fictional, Tony Stark is the man men strive to be. Although being born into a family of privilege, he wasn’t satisfied just living a prosperous life. He leveraged all that he was given and built an empire. And as we all witnessed in the first Iron Man that was released in 2008, when he was faced with impossible circumstances, he didn't give up, he invented a new power source to keep him alive, invented the iron man suit, killed all the terrorists, and then he rested.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKTRUzerfENq98FVv4tzQEhPGOJfjIndftiASBk-ckVc8BVEli4M0IWuA1vtS4UcfGsr86LM4QxBqtrebPVpKZcVT40STYdM-AoBnu84SH3CKqtzgqOEEyAj3a1lR5Hp2gZ3Tu87_Fhoo/s1600/TOBEY_MAGUIRE_SPIDERMAN_7777-727538.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKTRUzerfENq98FVv4tzQEhPGOJfjIndftiASBk-ckVc8BVEli4M0IWuA1vtS4UcfGsr86LM4QxBqtrebPVpKZcVT40STYdM-AoBnu84SH3CKqtzgqOEEyAj3a1lR5Hp2gZ3Tu87_Fhoo/s400/TOBEY_MAGUIRE_SPIDERMAN_7777-727538.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472404914679587378" border="0" /></a><br />In the world of superheroes, Iron Man is in a league of his own. For example, look at Spiderman and Superman. Peter Parker was an insecure little boy with no ambition, and by freak accident was bitten by a spider that gave him his spider-abilities. Superman didn’t have to work hard to become super, he was just born that way. In fact, he spends most of his life trying to suppress the super man that he knows himself to be in order to be the boring Clark Kent. Tony Stark didn’t stumble into greatness like Peter Parker. He wasn’t born a super man. He made himself great. He made himself powerful. To top it off, he didn’t care if everybody knew it! He realized his own greatness, and he was going to be damned if anybody tried to take it from him. In a scene from Iron Man 2, Tony Stark is sitting in front of Congress when he makes the bold statement: “I am Iron Man. The suit and I are one.” I want to be Tony Stark, and every man reading this blog should want to be as well.<br /><br />Iron Man 2 is a solid sequel, which starts up immediately where the first movie ends and makes a logical and satisfying progression through the storyline. We see Tony Stark’s fame, and classic narcissism, rocket to meteoric heights. He gets grilled by Congress. He kicks some bad guy ass. The action sequences are so r<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw7Q6Ob7FIhyPCnAghzccmvMudXaFjOdpVNnXMZ5IA-EpqyqMYE7E5NwC9yqBoXpaetr30x4-uKb1iXb9EiDi6NjDUBZRKPxtwNxL1NTCRCFyb87NxK-ayyyb8AZR_8d-v0K66lXXlpkY/s1600/iron-man-2-suit.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw7Q6Ob7FIhyPCnAghzccmvMudXaFjOdpVNnXMZ5IA-EpqyqMYE7E5NwC9yqBoXpaetr30x4-uKb1iXb9EiDi6NjDUBZRKPxtwNxL1NTCRCFyb87NxK-ayyyb8AZR_8d-v0K66lXXlpkY/s400/iron-man-2-suit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472405359790731490" border="0" /></a>ealistic, it makes Transformers seem like Toy Story. There’s not much more to ask for in a superhero movie.<br /><br />Tony Stark will be Robert Downey Jr's most popular role in his career. But like any other great movie, Downey is joined on screen with some top talent as well. Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, and Samuel L. Jackson all make solid performances. And I would be remiss to not mention the ever lovely Gwyneth Paltrow, reprising her role as Pepper Pots, and the luscious Scarlett Johansson. Mmmmm…Scarlett Johansson.<br />It may be difficult for people to truly identify with the Tony Stark character, because he does not exhibit the same insecurities that a lot of people experience in life. But that is because Tony Stark is not your everyman.<br /><br />He is the man.

</div><div style="border: medium none;">I'm a fan of YUM YUM (the company who owns KFC) and have actually owned their stock 3 times over the past years, so there is little doubt that they had done their research with the release of this sandwich. I'm not a frequent eater at any fast food chain, a matter of fact, over the last 10 years I have actually had KFC more times in China then in the US but I figured I owed it to my readers to find out the real deal on this value meal!!</div><div style="border: medium none;">There is no doubt that the press surrounding this sandwich is the result of some feminist's rant; as if the introduction of another sandwich is the reason why she and all of her overweight friends are fat. Woman already blame much of their unhappiness on men, so this just gives them another reason to push the responsibility of their misery onto us. So, for that reason, I had to venture off and try eating one of these for myself. </div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><br />
<b>COMPARISON</b><br />
Now this is a man’s sandwich! I mean what is there not to love? Before we review the actual taste...here are some stats:<br />
<br />
2 Original Recipe Filets<br />
2 Pieces of Bacon<br />
<div style="border: medium none;">2 melted slices of Monterey Jack & Pepper Jack Cheese </div><div style="border: medium none;">....and some Colonel's Sauce </div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;">The double down comes in two versions Original Recipe and (Grilled). </div><div style="border: medium none;">Calories: 540 (460) Fat: 32 (23) Sodium: 1380 (1430) </div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;">These stats are taken right from KFC themselves. What people aren't talking about is the low carbs, which KFC never mentions. They are hoping that all of the Atkins freaks began salivating over this and I think they should be. As a fellow low-carb high protein dieter, this is a pretty good way to cheat! How many carbs you ask? 11 (3) I find that hard to believe but it's taken from the KFC Nutrition Guide....so by golly it's Atkins approved!! </div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;">The next thing I would like to mention to all of you fat, stretch pant wearing housewives who think this is the worst thing since Hooters, while you've been eating your pretentious salads and condemning those around you for eating their fries you have been eating just as bad. Just becaue you stuff your pie hole with lettuce and vegetables doesn't mean it's healthy in fact you are filling yourself with the false security that you are dieting. Well think again, Fatty Mcbutter pants! </div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border: medium none;">Now those are just the salads so imagine if we started on the burgers....that all have buns!! This list can go on and on. The worse part about these high fat, high carb salads - is that mentally you just had a salad, so you will naturally think, “ A little desert won't hurt”!!! So with all of the hoopla, how the hell does the Sandwich taste? </div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;"><b>THE TASTE</b></div><div style="border: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc5FkGm0oODzOXZ7diyWBwALvzTpTOYRChp2YT1LkkdgJ_ytDDOjIPjXtYD_29yIGKiAvjIObMASlWCz1pYp7o6MXDSm_sE0wt-hGljozk1a-U8P67lvLaed3aM2qPXoDEQI01EYXtWxc/s1600/double-down-detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc5FkGm0oODzOXZ7diyWBwALvzTpTOYRChp2YT1LkkdgJ_ytDDOjIPjXtYD_29yIGKiAvjIObMASlWCz1pYp7o6MXDSm_sE0wt-hGljozk1a-U8P67lvLaed3aM2qPXoDEQI01EYXtWxc/s200/double-down-detail.jpg" tt="true" width="200" /></a>Well since I was going to eat bad, I figured I needed this thing fresh and hot. I went to the most upscale neighborhood Greenwich, CT (actually Port Chester) and walked into KFC and flashed my pearly whites. I told Pimples at the counter that I owned a media company and that I was doing a story on the Double Down and needed the best Double Down that money could buy. I then slid him a $10 bill for himself and paid for the sandwich. When I received this thing, it was hot, fresh and there was a trifecta of glorious scents - Chicken, Bacon and Cheese. At that moment, I knew this was going to be good. I actually begin to perspire. I gently wiped my forehead with my KFC recycled napkin, and picked this glorious piece of manwhich up and slowly brought it to my lips...and....and I put it back on the tray. I needed to have some back up condiments and a tasty beverage. If you are going to do this, you need to do it right! I asked Pimples Mcgee for some bar-b-cue sauce and a diet coke. I rushed back to my hard plastic seat to find my beautiful, bacon covered Double Down, which I had affectionately renamed "DD" and this time I released her tender fillets of their paper clothing and gripped those bare, tender breast (fillets) and took a man-sized bite. I closed my eyes and pounded the table, it was so good. In preparation for my next bite, I turned DD sideways so I can get another full bite of everything. A mouthful of bacon, cheese, chicken and sauce explosions. Perfection! I didn't want this to end but it did, and all too quick. But like any good meal it left me wanting more which is a good thing. (Ladies...take note...leaving the table not completely stuffed is a good thing!) Warning...you won't always have Pimple-Mcgee behind the register making sure thta you have the hottest and freshest. I can see this thing going the wrong way at the wrong KFC. If Bobby “I’m 22 and knocked up my girlfriend” Jones is making your sandwhich it might not be as good…..but even ½ as good would still be great!<br />

Therefore we are still on Team Tiger. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VRq80TWlYqHnwu2ex_83nV0JIzZBBKEldraGHLWbGJ69P-mb6ElueKalasTE9yfoCftTU6uuAih_5AabNbfti5bKLLIBf2mh1ShVFzwS0Jj2n-qr-5j-cGdysk9CuPKhO5_Ww76tFrQ/s1600/perez_hilton8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VRq80TWlYqHnwu2ex_83nV0JIzZBBKEldraGHLWbGJ69P-mb6ElueKalasTE9yfoCftTU6uuAih_5AabNbfti5bKLLIBf2mh1ShVFzwS0Jj2n-qr-5j-cGdysk9CuPKhO5_Ww76tFrQ/s200/perez_hilton8.jpg" width="133" /></a></div>After Tiger’s 1st weekend back at the Master’s we were thrilled with his improved (although not perfect) on course attitude and fantastic play. We thought the Tiger bashing would be over. He’s smart enough to lay low with the ladies for awhile, and I’m sure his golf play, although enough to put the red shirt in contention on Sunday at a major, was well below his expectations and he would be busy working off the rust. The problem is that all sport related, MAN things usually get covered in ESPN, Yahoo Sport, Sporting News etc, but the Tiger scandal has reached the pu$$y world of tabloid magazines. These magazines make money from gossip, and then gossip about gossip, and pictures about gossip. If you think I’m being to harsh, visit <a href="http://perezhilton.com/">Perez Hilton.com</a>. He makes over $100K from this blog. There is nothing wrong with this, hell we run blogs and that’s what we are all about, but when we gossip, it at least has merit! <br /><br /> As soon as the Icy Volcano Elin and the Iceland Volcano Eyjafjallajokull both stopped erupting, Elin hops aboard a private jet (that I’m sure Tiger is getting a bill for) and takes the kids to Sweeden. What is a Tiger to do? <br /><br />I know, how about living the life of someone who has made a few bucks. He jumps back on line and to the joy of all his true fans, updates his blog (click <a href="http://web.tigerwoods.com/news/article/201004229500414/blog/">here</a> for the entry). He hooks up with MJ for a round of golf, and goes to a Nickel back concert. <br /><br />I quote from <a href="http://www.limelife.com/blog-entry/Tiger-Woods-Home-Packed-With-Activity-With-Elin-Gone/42376.html">limelife.com</a><br /><blockquote>A source has told our pals at <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/04/exclusive-tiger-woods-not-alone-without-wife">Radar</a> the following about how Tiger's carrying on in Elin's absence: "Tiger is getting on with his life without Elin ... This is not a man sitting around depressed about his marriage." The source added, "Tiger isn't torn up about it. In fact, he seems as happy as ever."</blockquote>Now his handlers and publicity people are mad as hell because this is bad for his image! For once I agree with his handlers. It is bad for his image. You know why? Because you people, his so called handlers, have screwed up so bad in the last 6 months that now US Weekly, OK Magazine and dozen of other tabloids have made a career out of this story. This is the image that he is making look bad. Who Cares!!!<br /><br />Your first mistake was trying to coax him into staying married. When this thing first unraveled, he should have cut Elin faster then the Cowboys cut TO, and sent her a check for the original Pre-nup amount of 7 million, made a quick statement and as Jay-Z says, “On to the Next”. Now his handlers have put him through months of humbling embarrassment, some sex rehab bullcrap, and cost him millions in endorsements and Ellin will probably still divorce him take the kids and take more then the original pre-nup amount. <br /><br />Good Job guys. Here’s some advice, let the man have fun, let him play golf and everything else will take care of itself. That story sells sports magazines. Those are the stories that we like to read about. But to sell US Weekly, bringing a legend to his knees with his tail between his legs, begging his wife to take him back, that’s makes a great article, or a great 25 articles. That’s what my girlfriend is going to buy at the checkout counter. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE7RhKQxHFta1uS_XbiQ3w9tlHSu6B0rbCnAxq55n3j1xvYTbtAIDengd7GwHbPSaXgfA-B5c93NDKS90KpAxuucRH63lOezYbbgQvHvD5GEsjTTJg3AjnEEmN7MzjpwDx_Xxd-4aW5cQ/s1600/Sc8sSiQ3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE7RhKQxHFta1uS_XbiQ3w9tlHSu6B0rbCnAxq55n3j1xvYTbtAIDengd7GwHbPSaXgfA-B5c93NDKS90KpAxuucRH63lOezYbbgQvHvD5GEsjTTJg3AjnEEmN7MzjpwDx_Xxd-4aW5cQ/s320/Sc8sSiQ3.jpg" width="320" /></a>Let the man do what he does best. You win a few tournaments, and just like R. Kelly, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Vick (although Vick not so much, messin’ with dogs apparently has nothing on peeing on a 16year old) but he will be back on top. He will be an American Hero again. <br /><br />I mean really, who wants to be like Mike anymore when you can be like Tiger. Get paid millions, bang chicks around the country, play golf with Michael Jordan, and most importantly, consistently go out on the weekends an shoot a decent round of golf.

First of all, I love the fact that Jesse is out there bangin other chicks. Why? Simply because we are starting to see that Tiger is not such a monster. He’s human and he’s hard wired like a guy. Period. …And any guy who says they can’t understand what both of those guys have done or are doing, needs to hand their balls in and not read any further. Not saying that you would do it, or think it’s right, or morally correct, but you can understand.<br />

<br />
<strong>1. A CHEATING MAN CAN STILL LOVE HIS WIFE</strong><br />
<br />
Staying faithful is a conscience decision that a man has to make often. It’s not attached to his heart, his feelings or his loyalty to his wife and children. The more money your man makes, the older and better in shape he is, the more often he has to make that decision to stay faithful. (That’s right, even young chicks love an older guy in great shape). It’s life.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj384qmoScbNE9OVf2FD4vIwRPdi4UyoakO8gdmO-MZhVK7NL6nb_qvTiOx3pek7osNNhupkQN7tnICgVS9fnTXTGhxsIJ0pOwdO2uDrzS9d9PR16L8Dmrddk1DSXSfWWnco3VGuL44Wrc/s1600/Suave.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454550202537449202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj384qmoScbNE9OVf2FD4vIwRPdi4UyoakO8gdmO-MZhVK7NL6nb_qvTiOx3pek7osNNhupkQN7tnICgVS9fnTXTGhxsIJ0pOwdO2uDrzS9d9PR16L8Dmrddk1DSXSfWWnco3VGuL44Wrc/s200/Suave.bmp" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 200px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 150px;" /></a>For example: If he’s a beer belly janitor, then the decision not to cheat needs to be made <br />
<strong> </strong>maybe once or twice a year, if he is 40, making six figures and has a 34 inch waist, he is probably making that decision twice per month. If he is a superstar athlete, he is making it 100 times per day!! It is your job, as wives, to make that decision not to cheat an easy one…and not because your husband will lose half of everything he has, but because he will lose you!! Because you are the woman that he wants to be with.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>2. NO SUCH THING AS BAD PIZZA</strong><br />
For guys, sex is different, it’s not all physical but mostly, and it’s a freakin’ mental vacation. When a guy cheats, he’s not ready to leave, he still loves his wife and family; he just needs a break. It’s a vacation from expectations. With his “side girl” he’s not expected to bring home a check, mow the lawn, take out the garbage, figure <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgdWUDnbJqm5pqGIBDoWxrjENt18gNMXSfOq_X7qWFAWn9oShZl23GwDC2B7dozU1bX2q6pC2R3F4_XCujzYuVDlReaXDAJ9tUlIWZg2hJEgU1vBOy7n9kYkUPWn-Seh36v7SwDJ70tc/s1600/Pizza.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454550416416105810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgdWUDnbJqm5pqGIBDoWxrjENt18gNMXSfOq_X7qWFAWn9oShZl23GwDC2B7dozU1bX2q6pC2R3F4_XCujzYuVDlReaXDAJ9tUlIWZg2hJEgU1vBOy7n9kYkUPWn-Seh36v7SwDJ70tc/s200/Pizza.bmp" style="cursor: hand; float: right; height: 101px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 109px;" /></a>out how to put on a new roof or fund his kids college education. No expectation means no disappointments, for a guy, that's instant wood. <br />
The secret here is that disappointment ties directly with a mans ego and a man is 90% ego. A guy never wants to disappoint, and for most women, they are disappointed regularly and don’t have any problem expressing their disappointment. If you express this disappointment enough times, in enough ways, then the guy will just totally stop trying NOT to be a disappointment. You’ve showed him that no matter how hard he tries, you will never be happy so Why Try?<br />
<br />
The flip side of that; when you are cheating and you show up late, it’s not a disappointment; it’s a treat that you showed up at all. Your “side girl” is just happy you made it. You don’t have to spend holidays with them because you have a solid excuse, “Your Family”. If you say, “I’ll try to make it” that’s good enough. The side girl is getting seconds so it’s hard to disappoint her. Do you have any idea how attractive that is for a man? No matter what I do, it will make this girl satisfied and happy. How physically attractive your wife is, or how unattractive your side girl is, doesn’t play any part of the equation. She is your side girl, who cares if she’s a but-her-face. For guys, there’s no bad pizza! Even Halle and Beyonce can be cheated on.<br />
<br />
<strong>3. VERY LITTLE A WOMAN CAN DO, BUT THAT LITTLE NEEDS TO BE DONE.</strong>A man needs to feel like a man and not a child. He needs to feel like he is getting the job done. That’s really it. But that “it” is crucial. If you can’t take care of this part of your man, then there are a few results.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToeVw-2-paTUEbRoBJevsLqDAE_oJU4-i6y5BcO6vEFDI_0Xhi26wnqhsH-qkEML12ZhRR-d3XLM5N0q9020mVl2sikzCKYsh1meCHUzEzKYFnY-8R-XfdZBihSqUF7f9RFh4tYYJlso/s1600/trophy+wife.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454550919069292338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToeVw-2-paTUEbRoBJevsLqDAE_oJU4-i6y5BcO6vEFDI_0Xhi26wnqhsH-qkEML12ZhRR-d3XLM5N0q9020mVl2sikzCKYsh1meCHUzEzKYFnY-8R-XfdZBihSqUF7f9RFh4tYYJlso/s320/trophy+wife.bmp" style="cursor: hand; float: right; height: 180px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 173px;" /></a><br />
A. He will bang other chicks if he can get other chicks,<br />
<br />
B. He will be unhappy and miserable and fall into a pot-belly version of Al Bundy-ville, or<br />
<br />
C. If he makes enough, he will have a pre-nup and drop your as$$ and get a trophy wife.<br />
<br />
The better your man is, the easier you can be replaced. Period. This is a man’s world and he can always get younger hotter. He can get a good cook, he can get a nurturing mother type, and the closer the women are to their expiration dates, the more THEY are willing to settle. …and for those women out of shape; you tend to be the unhappiest because your unhappiness with yourself is often blamed on your significant other and emitted into the relationship as disappointment. If you are not satisfied with your man, you can leave, or encourage him, not get pissed off and throw tantrums.<br />
<br />
So, Tiger is not such and animal (no pun intended), he just has more ego and monetary means then the rest of us. To be a hero to millions of people and come home and disappoint your wife has to be the most frustrating thing ever. Imagine you are on the verge of being the greatest golfer that ever lived, voted athlete of the decade, brought home over a billion dollars, and your wife is disappointed that you aren’t showing her enough attention, or disappointed because you have to practice this weekend or some other crap excuse she uses to pout and get attention. Every time you turn around Elin is pissed off about something. Publicly you are a national hero, but privately you are a zero; you can’t keep your spoiled wife happy for longer then an hour. This sucks because you love her and want nothing else but for her to be happy and no matter what you do she can’t be and refuses to be happy. So in order to get that personal happiness, you bang other chicks. And to keep that high, you bang chicks everywhere. If you had only one chick, then she would get spoiled and start playing the disappointed game so you make them all second class by having one in every area you frequent. That’s how we get our beloved Tiger Woods.<br />

Not an animal, not a vindictive cheating scumbag, just a regular guy with an immense amount of self pressure looking to get a vacation from expectations.<br />
<br />
Now he’s back and the only thing I’m expecting from him, is to win a couple of majors. That’s it, nothing too big.<br />
<br />
This is your Captain Speaking and we still love Tiger.<br />

You have that option. You can drink every day of<br />your life. And take drugs every day of your life. I’d rather smell somebody else<br />smoking weed on the street than smoke weed myself anymore. Whenever I’m in the<br />company of someone who used to do this drug that makes you run off to the<br />bathroom to do it, I’m reminded of how often I get up to pee now. And I go, “Oh,<br />my God, I wonder if somebody thinks I’m doing blow in there.” Until you have<br />kids, you are not aware of your own mortality. They are little living calendars,<br />and you know that while time is passing for them, it’s passing for you. I wonder<br />whether science or medicine can get us to 100 in this lifetime. Because if I can<br />feel good at 100 as I feel now and still run, still work out, still eat, drink,<br />fuck — all the things that I am still capable of doing really well and enjoying<br />— then all bets are off. So just wash your hands three or four times a day, and<br />cough into the crook of your elbow instead of into your hands. Extending that<br />life span has to start somewhere. Also, I will do everything in my power to not<br />go under the knife. That way lies the acceleration of your death.</span></p><br /><br /><p><strong>How does a man remind himself to live in the moment?</strong></p><p>I’m glad we’re talkin’ about this. Embrace your death. Make friends with it. Know it’s out there. Tickle it under the chin, and just know that it’s coming. And not in a bad or morbid way — or an “Oh, God, I’m going to die someday” way — but use it as motivation. Use it as an impetus to get everything you want to do in this lifetime done before you die. I was raised in a generation that was saving money for a rainy day: “Don’t do anything too rash while you’re young; save it all for when you’re older.” Well, I think it’s rainin’ right now. I think live it up.</p></blockquote><span class="fullpost"><br /><p><span class="fullpost">Now those are words to live by! </span><br /><br /></p><p><span class="fullpost">This is your Captain speaking.

Well I was emailed a link to this letter from one of our loyal female fans:<br />
<br />
<br />
<em>Dear Abby: </em><br />
<em>I’m 27 and in a three-year-long relationship that has been slowly falling apart. A year before it began, I ended a two-year union with another guy. While the two men are completely different, both relationships ended for similar reasons.I am a successful, independent woman. Apparently, this made each one feel like less of a man. While I’m told my qualities are part of the reason I’m attractive, men want to “prove themselves” before they commit to marriage. Things usually fall apart when their career plans shift and they feel like they’re starting over. I try to be supportive, but nothing works. They begin resenting me for everything I have accomplished.I am on a path to achieve everything I can before I scale back to have children and put my family first. I have two master’s degrees. I’m working on my license in a traditionally male profession. I’m on the board of directors of several nonprofits. I own my own home. But I’m beginning to be afraid I’ll never have the family life I have always wanted. Should I resign myself to the fact that I can’t have it all? — Successful ... On Paper, Charlotte, N.c.</em><br />
<br />
<br />
I will post the link to Abby's answer but let the Captain speak the truth:<br />
<br />
Dear Successful...On Paper, This is your Captain Speaking,<br />
There are a few reasons that you are single.<br />
With anything that is stated on this site I will generalize my answer. Typically very successful women are not your 8's, 9's, and 10's. What you see on TV shows displaying super hot successful women is not what you get in real life. Need proof. Look at your top ten most successful women in industry. There is barely an 8 on that list.<br />

<br />
<strong>"The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think."</strong><br />
<br />
My point is, that when you are a 5, 6 or 7 you have to work harder to keep your man. Men typically don't care how smart a woman is, or how much a woman makes. The problem becomes the woman herself. The successful woman has typically become so, by being smarter, working harder and proving herself to be better then men. Day in and day out, this woman has to be earlier, be smarter, defend herself against sabotage and jealousy, all in efforts to get to the top of the corporate food chain.<br />
<br />
Therein lies the problem. She doesn't know how to turn it off. There is no top of the food chain at home. There is no boardroom, so that behavior just turns a man off. A guy doesn't want to come home and compete! A successful woman, can not shut-up about how successful she is. I mean, look at the letter; instead of simply saying she's successful she goes into "chest beating" detail at nauseam about her successes. Big Whoop!<br />
<br />
Another thing to keep in my, the last thing a man wants is your advice on his career. Trust me. So if you think you are being "supportive" by giving him suggestions, or bringing home brochures of classes or certifications he can get, your not helping, you are throwing your success and his inability to succeed in his face. Fall back and let the man be the man.<br />
<br />
When you find the next guy that is willing to date you; accept him for what he makes at the time you meet him. Don't put any expectations on his career, and don't shove your success in his face. Be supportive, if he is trying something new, has a new job, or a new idea. Help out traditionally by making his favorite dinner when he comes home or packing a nice lunch. You make more money so how about surprising him with tickets to his favorite teams, or a certificate to Golfland. This will go a lot further then any advice or help you can provide. Nothing emasculates a man more then a woman trying to solve his problems.<br />

One is a 2005 video of Tiger's amazing shot on the 16th at the 2005 Masters. This is why we love Tiger, not because he's a good husband but because he is the best Golfer in the world. <br /><br />When I tune in on a Saturday to watch him be a husband for 4 hours, then he can apologize to me. Besides his wife and business associates, the only other person he owes an apology to is his caddy Steve. Who makes about 10% of Tiger's winnings! If Tiger ain't playing then Steve ain't getting a pay check!! <br /><br />Enjoy both videos. The one from Chris Rock on Tiger Woods is old but still funny!!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZLKXvGE6kN8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZLKXvGE6kN8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZTULGGv116w&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZTULGGv116w&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /></span>An FTB Bloggers Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09007031358385922041noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244211321439379234.post-2564148637639674752010-02-14T14:49:00.000-08:002010-05-04T00:56:30.966-07:00MAN'S REVIEW: Men of a Certain Age<div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUJoN4o979ZYP-kfzfdtbmD7oMrkPrJDDY0ZKmu2JMm9bSVZKB5p1_QYUYpThAgSNi-jdrth6aA0D1Gz1B2LZ3H0iFdqrJNEPqm9yoQJpQ0nDvye8mzD1fr9pRRUCm0SSTdIAPms2W37w/s1600-h/tv_men_of_a_certain_age01.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438240712804632706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUJoN4o979ZYP-kfzfdtbmD7oMrkPrJDDY0ZKmu2JMm9bSVZKB5p1_QYUYpThAgSNi-jdrth6aA0D1Gz1B2LZ3H0iFdqrJNEPqm9yoQJpQ0nDvye8mzD1fr9pRRUCm0SSTdIAPms2W37w/s200/tv_men_of_a_certain_age01.jpg" style="float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 200px;" /></a> Now this is a TV show that I can sink my teeth into. Ray Romano hits this one out of the park. This show is just what TV really needs. It takes a deep dive into the lives of 3 middle aged men. They’ve known each other since college so their bonds run deeper then any relationship you can have from just meeting someone at the office. You will never have friends like the ones you met at college.<br />
<br />
Initially you think the characters are staged, like a cheap soon to be defunct network comedy with flimsy characters each representing a particular lifestyle with the token black guy thrown in there for good measure. What becomes immediately apparent is that...<span class="fullpost"> it doesn't feel like a network comedy or drama. It feels like a mini movie ala The Sopranos, or The Wire. The acting, story lines and the development of the characters begin to draw you in immediately.<br />
<br />
As the characters themselves go: One’s divorced, one’s a family man, and one is a swinging bachelor. Rather then portray all the women as hot, and the men as dopes, the wives and ex-wives are played by cute girl next door types. Everyone is very believable in their roles.<br />
<br />
That is the charm of the show - it's very believable, so much so that every guy can relate. (There's even a touch of profanity - Thanks God for cable TV).<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid1Mgs2jHu6jci3qA6LB67Z4YVDfqmiYWC31WLhel6mh9fN5asAxMp1hPxazd-6ze6_QOD1eXLkJ3dn5-Po0R8JMitVN2NdFaLuGyobckQsbKl5hDXjHVlYE9hfbXd5CHG1QtjFnLzqSc/s1600-h/men.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438240707287402066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid1Mgs2jHu6jci3qA6LB67Z4YVDfqmiYWC31WLhel6mh9fN5asAxMp1hPxazd-6ze6_QOD1eXLkJ3dn5-Po0R8JMitVN2NdFaLuGyobckQsbKl5hDXjHVlYE9hfbXd5CHG1QtjFnLzqSc/s200/men.jpg" style="float: left; height: 134px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 200px;" /></a><br />
The character of Owen played by actor Andre Braugher (famous for his role as Det. Pembleton in Homicide) works for his over achieving father, he battles his weight, and he’s trying to raise two young boys and maintain a what appears to be a "happy marriage".<br />
</span></div><div align="left"><br />
Joe played by Ray Romano, is a dollar store/party store owner, divorced, with a daughter of dating age (one episode he finds out her boyfriend calls her a slut), and he’s starting to date again as well. He just missed being on the Pro-golf tour and is thinking about going on the senior tour. He has a gambling habit, a bookie and a father in a nursing home. As men we either are this guy, or know this guy.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0SVIMjXZtepqGZ1U7LXVZcTvG4tw9lviif-548vGXz_ztvhaYCB4B_2M_AN7ChxcHoSiUQee5A-qV6teG2w6Oun-dVn5Xov9wIRSF6Z4C0G3VqbAlJ9UahJL0QymNc0jQ_6Ok02TFw0A/s1600-h/men38.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438241067571623586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0SVIMjXZtepqGZ1U7LXVZcTvG4tw9lviif-548vGXz_ztvhaYCB4B_2M_AN7ChxcHoSiUQee5A-qV6teG2w6Oun-dVn5Xov9wIRSF6Z4C0G3VqbAlJ9UahJL0QymNc0jQ_6Ok02TFw0A/s200/men38.jpg" style="float: right; height: 200px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 134px;" /></a><br />
Then there’s the irresponsible bachelor Terry played by Scott Bakula (from the old school show "Quantum Leap"); he's not sure about his career, not sure about his life. He’s dating a 25 year old. He’s a not so pretty, pretty boy. He gets the girls more with self confidence then looks. As the season progress you see Terry's confidence fade as you learn the real person behind the hyped up out of work actor his character becomes.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
This show is appealing because of its grit and realness. They use profanity, because that’s how we talk in real life. None of the leading men have Hollywood good looks and everything doesn’t always work out in the end.<br />
<br />
All in all very well done with just a touch of style and CRASS! Grab a glass of wine, light that cigar and enjoy a mans show!</div><a href="http://www.tnt.tv/dramavision/?cid=53097"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438241624295310450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT5d_jBb8HtfC7NnQKcufa6aOn3uNdxI3bUAeqiwKkG9FL_lJc_3UANQb5WFfBs3_LCgmwULwY2Lb3rhyfNmx0yWABgg0IJ3nkJ33aXZoyJgz3oMVUoQuySGOZUpXgo9aXBqBve3N7Wd8/s320/mencertain.jpg" style="display: block; height: 125px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" /></a> <br />

Real men have the right to demand a hot meal, a sewn button on their shirt, a clean house and being pleasured after a hard day.

The answer is a lot simpler then you think. Simply ask yourself, "If you hit the Mega million jackpot tomorrow would you leave your significant other"? Now, the key to this evaluation is to be truly honest with yourself. Don’t just sputter off in your head, what you think sounds nice. Take a second and truly thing this through. Remember, you are now a multi-millionaire. You are worth 165 million dollars. That is KMA (Kiss My A$$) money. You can literally walk around all day and just tell people to kiss your ass. You can hire 10 people, pay them $100,000 per year for 10 years just to kiss your ass, full time, and you would have only spent $10 of your $165 million. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP8X0V83BCyepH2hq4nrKS77STD3rSw-ilXgne_NRj5CdmwIglM538QzwpXG4T-_B4gorRo-DNxLau1r9rpI2HRrN-qraSKi-ZiMovut6hXiSRYb5JSY1AgVQU419lJBwUsLUWo7QMBj8/s1600-h/2007052701001201.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425278379207761026" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 294px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP8X0V83BCyepH2hq4nrKS77STD3rSw-ilXgne_NRj5CdmwIglM538QzwpXG4T-_B4gorRo-DNxLau1r9rpI2HRrN-qraSKi-ZiMovut6hXiSRYb5JSY1AgVQU419lJBwUsLUWo7QMBj8/s320/2007052701001201.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><br /><br />How does this apply to your relationship?

When I log in and look at all of the so-called hot chicks from high school, I am in amazement how hideous they turned out. It's unbelievable how life has hit them...right in the ass, hips and face. When you are in High School you have visions of grandeur; every hot chick is going to stay hot, wear clothes from the latest fashion designers and age like the Sex and the City girls. Then real life hits. They end up marrying some "Two Pump Chump" who brings home about $40,000.00 a year. Because these girls were so hot, they never took their education seriously and now they have a degree in liberal arts or no degree at all. They live in small town America, eat awful and look even worse. They don't work out because nobody cares. They are fat, their neighbors are fat and everyone just feels like an episode of Roseanne. In high school and college you think Desperate Housewives Hot, but you get Roseanne "Not". <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKI7ByHgQU3jY_50BXWMuk4UUcH718YR4_GskiSExhhfjR2jbC9e0dxEUHV9RqVs0Z_IhdJIVXzb-4Dp-Utf0qPa8Yfx_ZL5G4M-w-3Wel6mWRRLLPYTZo0VPTlmrk00NncjhIPM9EQd0/s1600-h/Roseanne.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422017113991665138" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 188px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKI7ByHgQU3jY_50BXWMuk4UUcH718YR4_GskiSExhhfjR2jbC9e0dxEUHV9RqVs0Z_IhdJIVXzb-4Dp-Utf0qPa8Yfx_ZL5G4M-w-3Wel6mWRRLLPYTZo0VPTlmrk00NncjhIPM9EQd0/s200/Roseanne.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Those men who have the luxury of waiting can use the benifits of age and wisdom to better select a chick who will remain somewhat hot. He will have worked harder and longer concentrating on his career because there will be no woman killing his dreams. The more money you have, the hotter you can afford. Now when you are age 36 and marry the hot 26 year old, everyone can kiss your ass. Post those pics on face book, sip your wine, and smoke your fat cigar because you can afford to do all of that. The nanny has just put the kids to bed, and your hot wife (if you choose to have one) is getting ready to do whatever you want her to.<br /><br />Cheers to the good life.<br />-Captain Jack<br /><br /><a title="MSM_Banner by bigg_capp, on Flickr" href="http://stores.ebay.com/Money-Saving-Mikes"><img height="67" alt="MSM_Banner" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2486/4146498206_e35f99de85.jpg" width="500" /></a>An FTB Bloggers Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09007031358385922041noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244211321439379234.post-71683041951132204882010-01-01T15:47:00.000-08:002010-01-01T15:56:15.678-08:00How much do I spend on a first Date?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWN7UQBCAIbwtdEF-DdalkiZV2SfQ3-YnofP1YMspWIZyNqBMJQAc5gSVJ32WH1Dx2Eq__Dsyfm5wA576Y7xY65eD9l3-tdEBcvrempHbVPq71wC75uISHgPFfeQ1Gg0QzkNBd5ViaoyQ/s1600-h/dinner-date.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328068451099433938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 175px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWN7UQBCAIbwtdEF-DdalkiZV2SfQ3-YnofP1YMspWIZyNqBMJQAc5gSVJ32WH1Dx2Eq__Dsyfm5wA576Y7xY65eD9l3-tdEBcvrempHbVPq71wC75uISHgPFfeQ1Gg0QzkNBd5ViaoyQ/s200/dinner-date.gif" border="0" /></a>Tom Leykis used to put this amount at $40.00.

First of all, most men or women for that matter do not make $123,000 per year. Those that do fall into the following categories:<br /><ul><li><br />Physicians - $128, 689<br />Medical and Science Teachers $121,230<br />Judges – $118,134<br />Optometrists – $116,403<br />Lawyers – $105,716 </li></ul><br />I’m going to go out on a limb and assume the average guy isn’t married to a Physician. I know there are exceptions to every rule, but we are going to generalize here. When you look at your girlfriend, do you see the “book smarts” of a power attorney or judge or do you see a bank teller, a barrister, a hair dresser?<br /><br />For us men, as long as you don’t see something fat and fuglee that’s all we care about!<br /><br />My 2nd point is the fact that they break down the Mom’s jobs into the following categories:<br /><ul><li><br />Laundry Machine Operator<br />Janitor<br />Van Driver<br />Housekeeper<br />Computer Operator<br />Cook<br />Day Care Center Teacher<br />Psychologist<br />Facilities manager<br />CEO<br /></li></ul><p>That list is bogus!

Everyone has to do laundry, clean a dish or two, drive themselves to work and make meals. This is called being an adult. It’s called reality. It’s called having children.

The comment was in reference to wealthy powerful men attracting a higher grade of woman.<br />After a few emails to the Captain, I have to address the title once again in detail.<br /><br /><strong>THE FATTER THE KNUCKLE THE SMALLER THE DIAMOND....<br /></strong>It's almost self explanatory; it describes a man’s ability to be with a hot woman.<br /><br />A man will marry the best looking girl he can afford. Period.

Looks play a part but for the man, a relatively small part. That is how a man like SEAL can marry a woman like Heidi Klum. <br /><span class="fullpost"><br />That's why High School quarter backs bang the hot chicks. They have all the power and fame in high school. As we get older and these “jocks” become “janitors” their ability to bang hot chicks begins to deteriorate quickly.<br /><br />Unless you end up knocking up a 9 or 10 in high school or college then you are with the best looking girl that your pockets can afford. If you are a wealthy man in your 30's when you decide to get married, you will no doubt have a hot bride. The term "Hot" typically refers to women who have beautiful faces and attractive figures. They are the ones that get the big diamonds. I understand that the term attractive figure is relative, so let’s clarify. Here on this blog we use the H-B Scale, otherwise referred to as the Halle-Beyonce meter. You can only qualify as a 9 or a 10 if your body is somewhere between Halle and Beyonce -and yes proportion counts.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzp0EZoRV7VUuoIFaa4kudtC-rFWoPOkJuKPtlcH_P8SpNWRC_UxBmqOEQMFnavNG176N4YBbp-20n25ODPpZAK9BEogpFGshhAZe9iZVOmuwf0Ltq323CjpXqR3JfYCcYlPGi4EEF_Aw/s1600-h/halle-berry.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334684252795110290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 182px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzp0EZoRV7VUuoIFaa4kudtC-rFWoPOkJuKPtlcH_P8SpNWRC_UxBmqOEQMFnavNG176N4YBbp-20n25ODPpZAK9BEogpFGshhAZe9iZVOmuwf0Ltq323CjpXqR3JfYCcYlPGi4EEF_Aw/s320/halle-berry.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtaifemZ2UrkT6LoMQ8Xo9JzmFmGovOQ9OnrjWRIattTAwwRLPFCabcEXkx-rdIoVvR1DwdTV39IbwVPQVYNnCMpB8B9CRrzeErtGi-xO5Io8BMiH78zlyfI4gqu5xjQnjNgDBb59QJCM/s1600-h/beyonce_weight.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334684413593947778" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtaifemZ2UrkT6LoMQ8Xo9JzmFmGovOQ9OnrjWRIattTAwwRLPFCabcEXkx-rdIoVvR1DwdTV39IbwVPQVYNnCMpB8B9CRrzeErtGi-xO5Io8BMiH78zlyfI4gqu5xjQnjNgDBb59QJCM/s320/beyonce_weight.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Men, this should be an incentive for you to work harder, or lie about your incomes better. If you are stuck working at the Taco Bell register then you will be marrying a 4 or a 5....and they only get worse with age (with a few exceptions). Now things are clear....Taco Bell worker gets a 4 or 5. She's chunky and not as cute. Mr. Six Figgas gets the 9 or 10. Taco Bell worker gets a small diamond, Mr. Six Figgas gets a 3 month income sized rock for his bride to be.<br />Hence...the fatter the knuckle the smaller the diamond.<br />I didn't make the rules, I just play by them.<br /><br /><br />This is your captain speaking<br />-CJ<br />Men...let's take our balls back!
