I’ve been enjoying Stallion Cornell’s recent blog series, recounting his decade-long online brawl with Languatron, both of whom are WAY too into Battlestar Galactica for my tastes.
The internet is a great place to pick a fight for nerds like me. (I would say us, but I didn’t want to speak for you, Stallion) I’ve been pretty good with words for most of my life, but never very good at fighting in real life. In real fighting, I usually let my temper get the best of me and I end up making a fool out of myself, which tends to end up in just laughter. Online fighting, however, favors those who can carefully (and quickly) type a few words or phrases that pack a nice zing.
However, I must be careful to use my powers for good and not evil… (right, wifey?)

My friend, McKay Coppins, wrote an article today which is sure to get the Mormon Times humming, and may even explode a bomb in his email inbox. The article: Plastic Surgery.
Since he asked me to email him my thoughts on the subject (well, not me personally – he asked all his readers – but I take my assignments from Mr. Coppins very seriously), I obliged. I was somewhat surprised by my own findings as I talked about the subject. Here is my response to him.

For the past two months, the blogs have been really boring and stale. My theory on this?
We all have a case of the Summer Blogging Blahs (or SBB for short).

July was a WEAK blogging month, maybe my weakest in years! I am sorry if you came to the blog more than a few times and just saw the same-old thing you saw the last time. I will spend more effort this month and try to spice things up a bit.
I know you rely on this blog for your intellectually challenging, yet entertaining stuff.
I will do better.
On the suggestion from my mom, today’s topic is going to be about my longstanding project – the back yard…

Last night, as we were settling into bed for the night, my wife informed me that I would sleeping on the north side of the bed. (to be specific, she didn’t say “north”, she said “that” side… mostly because women don’t have any sense of direction… BAM… it’s on!)
We’ve talked and teased about not having assigned sides of the bed quite often. It’s one of our favorite running jokes. But last night it particularly struck my funny bone. So in the heat of the tease, I then assigned her the task of going to turn off the bathroom light, checking all the doors, and making sure the garage door was closed if she was going to be sleeping on the man’s side of the bed. She responded by turning on the patented female pouty face and started carrying on about being scared of the dark and scared to lock things and shut things.
Baloney.
