gifts for guys

[dar512]

Here you are women. A free tip from me to you.

Wondering what to get your guy? Let me recommend a book.

It's cheap and I don't know a single guy who wouldn't love this thing: "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook" by Joshua Piven & David Borgenicht.

Step by step advice on how to

- Escape from quicksand
- Wrestle an alligator
- Break down a door
- Avoid being shot

and lots more. Yes I know that it's unlikely that any of these things will ever happen to us. But we like that kind of stuff 'cause - you never know.

Sorry this advice was too late for Valentine's day. My wife borrowed the audio version of the book from the library for me to listen to on the way to visit family in St. Louis this past weekend. As I was driving and listening, I thought how cool it was that my wife knew to borrow this for me. And that proceeded to - "What guy wouldn't like this book?"

A cordless screwdriver is actually much more practical and useful than it would seem.

Especially with a full set of bits.

Does it explain how to escape a flame war? How about how to avoid being "invited" to a meeting where you're just asked to reiterate what you've already said several times? Can it help you escape a slow and painful death when your only Valentine's Day present to your wife was a $100 gift certificate to Victoria's Secret?

These are, you understand, strictly hypothetical situations.

The Victoria's Secret gift is not necessarally a bad thing. They have things that are comfortable and women actually like. The downside is it could be perceived as a test. Will she buy something she likes or something he likes to rip off her.

None of the screwdrivers I've ever seen have had cords...

Yeah, it's been voting for quite some time but we don't always agree because it's a democrat and I'm an Independent.

I think those are planned for the sequel.

I get the reference but not the objection. Since I'm not as smart or clever or handsome as you, please explain.

No doubt it's suspicious of all those clean-shaven Republicans.

The length of growth from your face to the point where SteveDallas was born is what I think he means, in a roundabout way. although it is a part of the beard as a whole it falls outside the original criteria

this is the same argument, but from the other direction. equate water to hairs, river to beard. you say the river itself doesn't reach the sea, therefore my sig line is untrue. It was my position that although the river may change bodies, it will eventually reach the sea ......or local sea level body of water.
Although you have had A beard since before steve was born, it is an entirely different beard made up of different hairs. your beard is more likely to be about 4 to 6 weeks old.

I doubt this highly. You see those old "Santa" type guys they always have in shows where the kid yanks on their two foot long beard, and it's real and everyone has a laugh... Four to six weeks? That's some kind of turbo beard. Unless you're talking about a short beard...
