Stinging In The Rain
By Wyatt Earp | May 4, 2010
So, let me tell you about Sunday. It was brutally hot outside, so we turned on the newly-installed central air. (We landed it during last summer’s construction.) It worked like a dream and we were sitting pretty. Then it happened. I was downstairs writing posts when Kyle came up and said, “Dad, Mom needs you. There’s a leak in your bedroom.” I figured he was kidding, since it wasn’t raining, but I went upstairs anyway.
I walked into the room to see the missus rushing around with towels. I also noticed the waterfall coming through the ceiling. The missus said, “Get some buckets!” Lovely. Apparently, the central air unit sprung a leak and our new bedroom was feeling the brunt of it. We called the contractor and he sent the air conditioning guy on Monday morning. The diagnosis? A split in the pan. Apparently it was a factory defect, but that is little comfort with the inside rain. After apologizing up and down, the guy ordered a new pan, and it “should” be here this morning.
After hearing my tale of woe, Jim sent me this story to calm my frazzled nerves. He is a good man.
Christina Hendricks, SYLG’s favorite babe, recently dispensed some advice to the men out there. I’m not a real man, but if I were, I would be paying attention to this. Christina told the following to that bastion of manliness Ryan Seacrest. Apparently, he is the voice for all men now.
Here are a few of Christina’s bullet points:
We love your body. If we’re in love with you, we love your body. Your potbelly, everything.
I sincerely doubt that.
Speaking of your body, you don’t understand the power of your own smell. Any woman who is currently with a man is with him partly because she loves the way he smells.
I sincerely doubt that, too. On a good day, I smell like cheese and shame.
We remember forever what you say about the bodies of other women. When you mention in passing that a certain woman is attractive — your comment goes into a steel box and it stays there forever. We also remember everything you say about our bodies, be it good or bad. Doesn’t matter if it’s a compliment.
Okay, that’s something I didn’t realize, so I better adjust my internal edit. The last point, though, struck me like a punch in the face:
The men who constantly stare at our breasts are never the men we’re attracted to.
Dammit! That’s my only move!

The last comment trims the list of potential suitors, especially with this smashing young lady. She needs to be “posted”every other day.

RogerDee – Yeah, the chest is impressive, but I think she’s gorgeous either way.

We’ve had the same thing happen, only our pan was downstaiirs but leaky, nonetheless.
I hope yours pans out for you.

Don’t taze me bro! Gotta post about this one Wyatt.

I feel your pain re: the AC. We had to replace our condenser last year. Not cheap. But still worth it on the hot days.

Piper – We should know in a few hours. Haven’t slept well in two days.
AJ – Not happening. National news is already crucifying the officers. I’m not adding to that.
John D – It’s gonna be covered because it’s a factory defect, but the leak damage is troubling.

Oh stare away – the older I get the more flattered I become at a guy salivating while looking at one of my body parts, and if you wanna tell me “nice ass – or great rack” go right ahead….all lude compliments accepting over here.

Robbie – I’ve seen pictures of you. You’re pretty damned yummy!

(*blushing*) TY

Robbie – Oh, you’re welcome, dear. Although a compliment from a guy with troll-like features shouldn’t make you blush. Heh.

Wyatt:
When I watched the video, I thought it was a very plump female officer. He needs some slimfast.

Wyatt I feel your pain. I also had new central air installed late last fall. I fell asleep in front of the Phils game at a blissfull 72 degrees last evening, woke up @ 11:30 it was a sweaty 78.
They can’t come look at it til Friday. I sugest we enter into a pact like in “Throw Momma from the Train” if we don’t get satisfaction. No one who has ever delt with a contractor would convict us.
Also should I die I want to come back as Ms. Hendricks’ full lenght bedroom mirror.

I’d come back as her bra.

Jon – Especially if they belong to an angel like Christina.
BillN – Done! They fixed it yesterday afternoon, and it was working like a charm last night. So far, no signs of leaks. (Knocks on wood.)
Mrs. Crankipants – You’d certainly have a big fan club and a lot of media exposure.

Some women do everything possible to get you to look at their knockers……and now she tells us that women won’t go for a guy who looks at them.
What this shows is that she is ashamed of hers and she doesn’t want anyone looking at them.

I.B. – I volunteer to take one for the team and stare at them anyway.
