assorted Men's Weekend ky tidbits
So I was going through some old post from last year and stumbled upon a bunch of post concerning the original Men's Weekend: Ky. I thought I'd repost them here periodically through out the day with commentary, for your enjoyment. My comments are bolded:

Men's Weekend: Ky begins tomorrow. TOMORROW!!
I was talking to E on the phone last night. She said that F was coming and was excited about it. F's from the Dominican and has only lived in America for a few years. He's still picking up on cultural nuances and traditions. So, yesterday he's apparently at the gym talking to some guy and he aks him if he's going out for Men's Weekend. The guy is like, "What?" And F is like, "You know, the weekend where only guys get to go out and girls stay at home." F thought Men's Weekend was an American Holiday. I LOVE THAT KID!! Men's Weekend should be a holiday. I just wish our government was as forward thinking as F is. Then maybe they'd get off their asses and declare it one. (This is the greatest story ever. One day when Men's Weekend really is a national holiday, this is one of those litte random trivia stories that cool American History teachers will tell their students. And by "cool" I mean the kind that buy their students beer and make their students call them by their first names - not the kind that stand on desk and try to teach the importance of poetry. Ugh.)
Also while talking to E, she asked what the "girls" would be doing during Men's Weekend. I thought about it for a second and realized that most of the guys coming to Men's Weekend arent in relationships, so there are no "girls" really. So, in reality, every weekend is Men's Weekend for most of us. Sad, really... (This year, I know for a fact that three of the "girls" are going out dancing while the men abuse themselves. My original suggestion that the women stay home and cut up sheets to make bandages was shot down early in the negotiations. That's fine but I don't want to hear any complaints when I'm bleeding all over the carpet.)
I called BP last night to see how the house hunting in Virginia was going. He and James will be hitting the road early tomorrow morning in a rented convertible and heading this way. James bought a shirt that says, "I love KY" just for the occassion. I'm guessing that's gonna go ten kinds of wrong. (It went no kinds of wrong in hindsight. That's why this year I've bought James a shirt that says, "I love eating babies in Ky." Fingers crossed!)
We'll be arming ourselves with cameras all weekend so expect lots of pictures. And since we're stationed at BP's house and he has highspeed internet, you can also possibly expect up-to-the-minute Men's Weekend coverage. So go wake up the kids! You're not going to want to miss this rare entertainment opportunity for the whole family. (Ha! The up-to-the-minute coverage ended up being two post. We'll try to do better this weekend since their will be three bloggers and one Myspace homo in attendance.)
file under: meta, jerks
Oh...I have another shirt that I will be wearing with pride this weekend. Its a secret!
I hope it says, "I'm what Willis was talkin' bout."
It is the one that has a pic of OJ and says "Lady Killer".
