| 10-31-2007 | As sad as the series was for the Rockies, you’ve got to appreciate a sweep. Our condolences go out to the team and its fans. (+5) What’s up with dumb crooks lately? At last count there were more than a dozen guys needing to be rescued this past week after getting stuck in ventilation shafts during robberies. Does that ever turn out well? Get a job. (-5) Looks like we are even for the week. |

| 10-24-2007 | Seems like the entire nation is focused on the California Wildfires. Wherever you live, take some time every now and then to stop by your local fire station and express your appreciation. Better yet, volunteer your time. They could always use some help or supplies. It’s amazing to watch these men and women run INTO the fire when everyone else is running the other way. (+5) |

| 10-17-2007 | Worth noting: 29 years ago on October 14th, 1978: President Jimmy Carter signs the House Resolution 1377 which removed the last remnants of prohibition, thereby legalizing home brewing. A study presented by Australian researches at a conference for the American Society for Reproductive Medicine concludes that men who have sex more frequently are healthier (+5). We believe that this study should be repeated as often as possible. |

| 10-10-2007 | Slow week, so here’s a follow up to last week – we saw The Rock’s new movie, and there are some good references to the Man Card. But be forewarned – it’s not a football movie with a little girl in it… it’s a little girl movie with football players in it. For the record: you can never get your Man Card revoked for doing something goofy for your kid. Other manly stuff: A 1000 pound pumpkin was dropped on a bus in an annual tradition at Fir Point Farms (+5). You know you wish it was you that pulled the trigger. |

| 10-03-2007 | It’s always a good boost to Manliness when the military rolls out a new weapon – We received confirmation this past week that the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Interceptor had a final successful test, and the Missile Defense System is up and running (+10). I haven’t seen it yet, but sources tell us that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a new movie out in which he mentions his Man Card a few times (+5). Maybe we just found our new spokesman. |

| 09-26-2007 | Seems like what is old, is new again – Mike Tyson is back in the news and could be facing more jail time. The Canadian Dollar recently became equal in value to the US Dollar – not “unmanly” per se, but getting one of their funny nickels in change from a convenience store won’t be the same anymore. On a bitter-sweet positive note, Brett Favre tied Dan Marino’s 420 touchdown pass record. Slow week, but we are on a downward trend overall (-5). |

| 09-19-2007 | This was not a good week for manliness. Seems like we‘re going to be talking about O.J. for a while, again (-5). Turns out a guy I thought was a ladies man ends up more like a lady himself – Barry Manilow first agreed to go on “The View” (-5) then backed out (+5), but only because he got scared of the only hot chick in the cast (-5). I haven’t seen it yet, but the first Western (3:10 to Yuma) out in a long time gets ousted from the top spot by a tough-chick-flick (The Brave One) (-5). Arrrgh. |
