If you’re travelling this weekend here’s a timely tip that will help speed up your trip. A new study by the Department of Travel suggests that most traffic congestion problems could be solved with a simple ‘Honk’ of your horn.

On a Saturday, it doesn’t get better than that.

Like any good husband I usually get the monthly request to pick up feminine hygiene products. I get the phone call or see it snuck in on a grocery list.

Often times when I run out in the evening I’ll see other guys aimlessly wandering the hygiene products isle with a look of confusion and bewilderment on their face. They finally grab a box, stuff it dutifully under a bag of frozen peas to disguise it and make their way to the checkout.

As they stand there in line they’re thinking the same thing every guy thinks when he has to make this kind of purchase,

“Dear Lord, I hope I picked the right one!”

Because God knows NO man wants to be on the cell phone in the middle of a store having this conversation,

“Honey, what kind of Tampon do you need again?
Super what?
I don’t see Super Plus Tampons here, what about Extra Super Tampons?
What? Look, can you just tell me what color the box is?”

Can someone please explain to me why you need that many options and brands to choose from when purchasing a Tampon?

Ladies, let me explain something to you about men. We like to appear confident and self-assured. We like to know what we’re doing. And nothing destroys our confidence quicker than sending us out to buy Tampons. I honestly believe that they purposely label the products to try to trip us guys up.

Light Tampax?
Extra Light Tampax?
Super Tampax?
Super Tampax Deluxe?
Extra Super Deluxe Tampax?

Would you like fries and a drink with that?

Here are a few questions I have.

1. Is there honestly some rhyme or reason behind the names they put on the boxes? Or are they result of some misanthropic lady in the marketing department designed to confuse the men that have to pick them up?
2. Do you really need to wait until the very last minute before sending us out to pick them up? Isn’t this something that happens fairly close to the same time every month?
3. If this is a product that you know you’re going to keep using for at least then next 15-25 years, why not buy it in BULK? Heck, get 3 or 4 years worth. This may be crazy guy-talk here but hear me out. You’ll save money and avoid sending us men out to buy the wrong one! It’s a win-win!

To all of the wives out there - your men love you. We honestly try to pick up the right thing but there are just some things that guys weren’t meant to pick out. Tampons are one of them. Now, on the other hand, if you’re looking for a new TV for the living room…

Guys, are you tracking with me? Have any of you asked the same questions? Got a funny Tampon story to tell?

Gals (those of you who are still subscribed after reading this), help us out. Am I off track?

I’ve been getting the Cialis/Viagra emails in my inbox for a while now. I begun to think they’re one of the steps on the checklist to set up an Internet connection.

Cable modem set up? Check.
Wireless router? Check.
Email account? Check.
Viagra spam emails? Check.
Welcome to the Internet.

Anyway, these particular ads I’ve been getting really crack me up. It appears that the companies marketing these products have outsourced their email ad designs overseas to individuals who have a very tenuous grasp of the English language.

It appears I have been missing out on “new fills” in my sexual life. It’s a good thing they have “this month big discount sale.”

Funny, when I saw the pictures of those smiling couples, the first thing I thought was “Whay they are so happy?” It apears they are happy “becourse the have no problem in sexual life.”

So how many of these emails do you get a day?

Ever since I was little I’ve loved treehouses. My dad surprised my brother and I one summer by building us the most AMAZING treehouse while we were at camp. It was a good 25 feet in the air and had all the essentials: ladder, fort walls and a door at the top to lock out “intruders”.

We spent hours every day during the summer up there pretending to be knights in a castle or soldiers under attack (the kind of stuff kids use video games for these days).

I recently came across this company that takes treehouses to a whole new level. Each treehouse project is assessed individually. The team takes into consideration the condition of the environment and of the tree, with the size and features the clients desire.

“Treespaces” as they call them, can be outfitted with sitting and sleeping benches, storage spaces, a mini-kitchen, heating, glass windows, lighting, as well as a sound system for multimedia. Every piece is prefabricated in a workshop, and then brought together on site.

From inside the cabin there is a breathtaking view to Carinthian mountains and Lake Millstatt.

I don’t know about you but if I had a house like that, I don’t know if I’d ever want to leave!

We all have our little catchphrases -  you know, those annoying words or phrases we say TOTALLY say way too much? These are the words or phrases that find their way into almost every email or comment. The words we drop into almost every conversation without even thinking.

What’s yours?

This is a very trippy music video for an electronic piece which is composed using sounds recorded from the Disney film ‘Alice In Wonderland’. As if the original movie wasn’t weird enough!

You’ve become exceedingly famous. You give interviews every day about what makes you sucessful. You’re constantly being stopped on the street by people who want their picture taken with you.

And then you get a call from a big Hollywood studio. They’re going to make a movie about you! And you get to pick any Hollywood actor to star in the leading role.

Who do you pick to play you?

I’m sorry if you’re an O’Reilly fan but this video is just too funny not to post. This is a video of Bill O’Reilly exploding on the set of Inside Edition. Can we say “Anger management” Bill? Also check out Steven Colbert’s take on Bill’s meltdown. Another reminder that damaging videos of yourself will ALWAYS find their way onto the Internet!

Kids like this really do a number on my self-esteem.

Thanks to Tara Leigh Cobble for the video tip.
