10 Commandments of Purity by Ed Young
These only apply if your wife’s name is Lisa.
Oh, and #3 is brilliant.
#1 I shall have no other human relationships before Lisa, including the kids.
#2 Remember the date night and keep it holy.
#3 Honor Lisa on anniversaries and special days so that you may live long in the land the Lord has given you.
#4 I shall not take the covenant of marriage in vain by apathy.
#5 I shall not ride in a car or eat in a restaurant alone with a member of the opposite sex.
#6 I shall not travel alone.
#7 I shall not counsel a woman with the doors closed.
#8 I shall not share the details of our marriage with others.
#9 I shall not watch, read, or expose myself to sexual explicit shows, books, DVDs, etc.
#10 I shall remember the implications of breaking this covenant and commandment before God.

OK, so I just read this hilarious news article
Lebanon war puts damper on Israeli pot smokers
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel’s recent war with Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas has sent cannabis prices sky high in the Jewish state. Boosted security on the Lebanon frontier brought a drastic reduction in drug smuggling, with the cost of cannabis in Israel up eight-fold, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Smoking and selling cannabis are illegal in Israel. Trafficking from Egypt has also been curbed by Israeli patrols aimed at preventing Palestinians from smuggling in arms.
My favorite part is that the cost of pot is known well enough to publish a report like this.

The Return of Chest Hair

Thanks to Josh for this great article: The Return of Chest Hair:
A little while ago, movie stars like Heath Ledger and Hugh Jackman and then just regular dudes started turning up at parties with their shirts unbuttoned. Not, like, all-the-way-to-the-navel, Vinnie-at-the-club unbuttoned—but undone enough to let a few tendrils of chest hair curl out suggestively, as if to say, I am Man. Feel me.
It’s not that I’m a chest hair fetishist, exactly. I just prefer it. The bald male chest is disconcerting to me in the same way that a hairless dog is. It seems unnatural, as though it’s been engineered by science, and it’s sort of vain. Plus, I like a little something to stroke and pet and tug on, a springy, hairy pillow on which to lay my head. A quick text-message poll confirmed that fourteen of fifteen female friends agreed. “Yes!!!” wrote one. “Liking lush forest!” replied another.
And there you have it. The area rugs popularized by Hugh et al. are more than just decorative statements; they’re welcome beacons of masculinity in a too-calm sea of feyness. They’re a rebuttal to the androgynous Jude Law pretty-boy aesthetic and the skinny-pantsed Strokesification of our time. In short: Your chest hair is hot. Own it.
It reminded me of this video. Warning: if you are turned on by backhair, you might not want to watch this video. It may cause you to stumble.
