I rant. I brag. I praise. I say things just to tick people off.
So be prepared to be offended and/or outraged from time to time, but know also that there's only an 80% chance that I meant to be offensive and/or outrageous.

Murdcock's Backpack
Emasculation is a harsh word. Just the sound of it makes any man cringe.
And yet Howlin' Mad Murdoch strode about today with a Dora the Explorer backpack...
However harsh the word may be, sometimes emasculation is the most accurate.
Now had I been strolling down the street wearing it I could agree, but I was with my daugter who wanted to take her backpack to the zoo. She wanted to carry it but I was concerned about the weight on her back from all the bottled water I put in it. The equation is pretty simple. Guy alone with Dora backpack = emasculation. Guy with toddler daughter wearing Dora backpack = Daddy. Besides even the first equation isn't as bad as being afraid of butterflies.
