the votes are in

As you know I shaved my head before we went to Nicaragua. Thank you for participating on my poll concerning the future of my hair. The votes are in and the majority of you want the mullett.

Well, you asked for it and I will deliver. As you will notice I not only grew hair but I am showing off my "gym body". As you know, if you are a regular reader, I go to the gym.

My point: I am a man of my word. You spoke and I listened. Not only did I listen but I acted. More people need to do what they say they are going to do.

You can call me "Gary Dirt"

wrong again

The last poll I posted asked you what posed the greater fear. I have to say I am not surprised but I will say you are wrong again.

The real choice was between spiders and snakes. Let me comment on the 2 that were not even close. The person who said the greater fear is "needles" is just a big sissy. You will always have to get shots. You may not enjoy them and if you do, you are some sort of sicko, but to fear needles is silly. You fear the pain they bring you not the actual piece of metal.

The person who said the greater fear is "life without chocolate" is a female. That is all I have to say about that.

Now to clear up the real choice between spiders and snakes. As unpleasant as spiders are, you can squash even the biggest spider with the sole of a boot. Yes, I agree they are pretty freaky and can frighten the mess out of you but to say they scare you more than snakes, I challenge that. You can show me the most wicked spider and I feel pretty confident that I can either squash it or outrun it. The only reason you said "spiders" is because you see them more.

Now, on the other hand. Snakes... they freak you out no matter how big or small. You can see a small snake in the garden and it brings to mind some 4 letter words. The way they slither and glide across any surface is eerie. They are plain freaky. Even the ones that can't bite can squeeze you to death. Even the ones they say are safe... WHATEVER! Safe from what. People who have snakes as pets are, well, lets just say they are different. If you own a snake you probably have lots of tattoos, piercings, wear leather, have a spoon as a bracelet and have a nickname.

My point. If a spider and snake were coming toward you, a boot would take care of one but the other would be slithering up your leg. Spiders are scary but snakes are the greater fear. Congrats to those who got it right this week.

Thanks for participating. Don't get discouraged if you keep getting them wrong. Keep playing and you are bound to get it right sooner or later.

wrinkle

So as you can see, I added a new wrinkle to my blog, no not the elephant... a poll question. (over there, above my picture->)

I thought it would be loads of zany fun to ask a totally random question, get your responses and then use my incredible insight laced with intelligent humor to make comments on the results.

I guess we will see how it goes.

My point: if you read this blog at least participate in my weekly poll question. I need to create fun somehow.
