Man Purse Idea Already Made. Damn Germans And Their Design! Unwanted Bulges In Pants.

Do any of you homos have man purses? No? Yeah me neither.

But it does suck being a dude sometimes when you have to carry a bunch of crap around. Cramming it into your pockets. A few years ago I was known to carry a small camera bag once and a while. BUT....it was only if I was going to a place where I knew the people AND I was swimming or something. AND I had stuff in it like sun tan lotion, a small whiskey, a camera, Swiss army knife. Manly stuff. But I would jokingly call it my man purse. It's not like I carried it around the mall. Jeez!

But I've always thought that someone should come up with an acceptable bag that men can carry. I don't see it happening though. One of my ideas that I came up with was a gun holster that you use to carry all of your shit. And you'd be safe because most people wouldn't say, "Hey, let me see your gun." So you'd be safe and sound. Knowing that your chapstick is just  inches away from you. In your manly man purse gun holster. (And not in your pocket making up unwanted bulges. Distracting from your package)

But sadly, some German company beat me to the punch. First the Holocaust now this!.....

Blogger Header Contest. Twitter. Sam Raimi. MTV Movie.

Here are a few things to go over:

- The winner of the TBY header contest is Mr Condescending. Thanks! Look how great my new header looks.

- There were eight other bloggers that sent header designs and it was tough to narrow it down to one. If you'd like to share your design, put it on your blog on Wednesday and I'll write a post with links. If you don't want to show it I'll still give you a link.

- Go see the Sam Raimi movie Drag Me To Hell. It's great fun. Seriously, don't be a big baby. Go see it. Boo!

- I'm totally obsessed with Twitter now. It's great to have a place to write all the weird stuff I think about all day. Click on my sidebar to join Twitter. Give it about a week and I think you'll love it. But I really have to stop reading the Tweets while driving. I can't help myself I tells ya...

- Why do I watch the MTV Movie Awards every year? What a fucking joke.

Want To Make Me A Blog Header? Contest Alert. Graphic Designers Needed.

I'm getting sick of my blog header. In case you're wondering, that's a picture of my deck and the racket is an electric tennis racket I use to kill wasps.

Anyways, I need a new header. Whenever I see great headers like on Avitable's blog or Whiskey Marie's blog (she changes it every few weeks) or Lilu's blog I get really jealous.

So how would YOU like to design my new header. If you want to, here's what to do:

- Design it and make sure it says "THAT BLUE YAK" clearly.

- Make sure that you save it in a format that's easy for me to open AND easy for me to put on my blog.

- And here's the great part - (talking like Ted Knight from Caddyshack): And why don't you just put "blog header designed by 'Your blog name here'" up there on the header too? hmmmm? Hmmmm? This way you'll get some advertising for your blog.

- I will leave the header up for at least two weeks! But I get kind of lazy so I may leave it up for months! Can you imagine?

- For the super lazy, just leave your header idea in the comments section. I encourage readers to steal the ideas and make them into a That Blue Yak noble creation.

And for the losers, you can post your losing header on your blog and I'll write a special post linking to it. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually use them all.

How about we say the deadline is Saturday (May 30) 5:00 PM - Eastern time. My email is in my profile. Just make sure to write "TBY header contest" in the subject line and the name of your blog in the subject.

And one more thing, make sure it's something that can be viewed by people at work. No naked people. I do have the right to say there are no winners you know. If you have any questions, ask me in the comments section.

And ready....go!

Look At That BBQ Header at the Top of My Blog. Bees!

So everyone is changing the layouts of their blogs these days. I just don't have the patience to do it right now so I simply added the picture you see above. It's an image of me barbecuing on my deck. I then realized there was a bee's nest under the grill. Using my catlike reflexes I screamed like a girl and ran inside to get my electric tennis racket bug swatter* - best invention ever - and went to town on the bees. They didn't stand a chance.

And on the subject of new blog layouts, two of my favorites are the blogs of Whiskey Marie and The Verdant Dude (aka B.E.Earl). I'm very, very jealous. I especially like how The Verdant Dude's blog has the options of tabs that let you have links to other blogs. And I'll add that these are two of my favorite blogs as well.

*Note that there are spikes hanging off of the electric tennis racket bug swatter. These show you that it's been used in many bee battles. They could easily poke out an eye but danger is my middle name. Well, actually "Screams Like a Girl" is my middle name. "Danger" is my Confirmation name.
