Designed by and for Men. The Tablet PC.

This sounds good, “a microcomputer that accepts input directly onto an LCD screen by means of a stylus, savable as image or text.” But in practice, it is a nightmare for some.

  • ME@10:52 AM: What did you get!? What did you get!?
  • SPJs@11:30 AM: i got a tablet pc.
  • ME: nice!
  • ME@13:27 PM: Have you played with your tablet all day?
  • SPJs:not really
    i did the stylus tutorial
    and then i went to sleep
    and now i am looking at it
    over there
    on the ottoman next to this laptop
    it’s so lovely but i found an unexpected downside
    i am bosomy
    and well
    the tablet pc, the angle at which i have to hold it
    makes it difficult to achieve that “tablet pc” effect lol
  • ME: sorry, had to pick myself up off the floor.
  • SPJs: i was like holding it and well
    i think you’re supposed to rest it on your chest
    however
    that is more like “rest it on a tittay. only the left one, since you’re right handed, you over-breasted fooel”

Update

SPJ is a chick. The thing about “by and for men,” is implying that the designers knew that big busted women would resort to setting the TabletPC on their tits. Okay?

Love is a Battlefield: The Prize.

Power:
The capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.

What events and behaviors are at stake?

  • Child’s political alignment.
  • Financial decisions.
  • Dominate household religion.
  • Furniture.
  • Bedtime.
  • etc.

You get the idea.

NOTE: If you are in a relationship where each partner has his/her own sphere of influence and you discuss matters of “State” with your spouse, consider yourself lucky.

Love is a Battlefield: The Weapons.

Some common weapons deployed in marriage are:

  • Tears: The Guilt Trip.
  • Horrid Questions: “Do you love me?” Or, “If I died, would you get remarried?” Oh, and, “Do these pants make me look fat?”
  • Hysterics: A form of terrorism.
  • Calling in the in-laws: The Calvary.
  • Perfidy: Turning the kids against your spouse.
  • “If you loved me, you wouldn’t…”: The Guilt Trip V.2
  • Silence.
  • Nitpicking: A direct attack on your pride/confidence.
  • etc…

This is why we will not see peace in our time.
