all right. you put some goodness back and you take your stand and you hold on to him for dear life."

Wasn't there something about "making love on the back of a horse with William Wallace," when you read that Eldredge quote in the office the other day?

umm, yeah, but that was in chapter 3 not on page 3. a randy scene it was dr. j, a randy scene it was.

pure crap

Eldredge is so sad that he must live vicariously through some violent historically inaccurate character from an overblown movie.

As Toad says, "with the time I spent on the life I never had, I could have turned myself into a better man."

edgy for the sake of edgy is not edgy.

What the heck is that book about anyway?

"what wild at heart did for men, captivating can do for women!"

yes...but what can captivating do for me?!?

g13 said...

it can help your wife learn that she needs to be rescued. god, my dear friend, has providentially ordained that women be the passive object of men's wild affections. let john and his rescued beauty teach your wife this!

kidpositive said...

damn straight!

as my beard grows longer, i find myself more in touch with the inner spirit of neanderthal, wild stallion of the forgotten west! will you join me on this eve's hunt of wild boar and mastadon?

james said...

with the STRENGTH . . . of a grizzly.

the REFLEXES . . . of a puma,

and the WISDOM . . . of a man!

g13 said...

YAWP! with boar skin covering and fist full of singles we will rescue animal and women-folk from meaningless lives.

DJ Word said...

g13 said...

we reap more man flesh if we hunt southern baptists and pentecostals.

kidpositive said...
