They've Gone to Plaid!!!

This is a story of a man who updated the quality of his wardrobe from barely acceptable work attire to "gay" in a single night.

Throughtout my brief working career I have never had a solid set of "work" clothes and have always gotten by on some pretty old and ratty pants, shirts and ties with subtle (and not so subtle) stains on them and a few sweaters that I throw on to cover the shirts with the most egregious stains. I have two suits, both of which get worn way too frequently simply because I have to wear dress clothes to work everyday. One is literally worn to the point of beginning to see the cloth of my pockets underneath and the other has a small irremovable paint line on the front of the pants (thank you painter guys that came to the office at night and did not post any "Wet Paint" signs).

Jess and I decided it was time to pick up some new, and swell, work gear with a little of the money we got from tax returns this year so we went to Burlington Coat Factory and Ross and I left a handsome man. I am not kidding, I look phine. Proof? Today I stopped off at a convenience store for a pop and candy bar after a meeting in my full attorney regalia. The total of my concessions came to $2.07. I handed the clerk (who had an earring in his right ear!!!) three ones and he handed me a single and said, "Here, you owe me seven cents." I didn't understand what he said and so I gave him a questioning look and he asked if I would rather have all the change and I finally realized his intentions and smiled and thanked him. This whole time he is giving me this doe-eyed look that I usually get from hot womans... and then things got weird. "Do you like cinnamon?" he asked. "Ummm... yeah." "Do you want some of my gum?" "Ummmm.... okay." I took the offering as he told me he would "see me next time" in a really creepy voice and I exited the situation.

Conclusion, my style of dress has gone completely from one side of the spectrum, rolling in the pasture just before heading off to work, all the way to..... Gay Man! That is the very pinnacle of style!!! I knew that year in retail buying would pay off some day.

Moyes Luck

I now officially have a car more cursed than any of dad's car, or at least I think. My truck was dented, once again, today for the 5th time in about six months. It all started a couple of months ago when some wonderful church member side swiped it in the church parking lot, and conviently forgot to tell me (still bitter about that one if you can't tell). So that was the end of the right rear door. Then about 2 weeks later I was driving down the freeway when the car next to me decides he wants in my lane, but couldn't wait for me to get out of it. So that dented the left side front and rear door and the bed.

I went about 5 months before a nice lady in the neighborhood backed into the right rear corner of the truck and made the short bed or really short oblong bed. Then last week when I went home to help dad shovel snow and snowmobling our area was hit with a hail storm that brought down hail a little smaller than golf balls. It completely destroyed both cars, especially the Audi, but the truck's roof, hood, and both front fenders have dents all over them.

Then, just in time to start a wonderful Monday morning, as I was going to work today and big piece of steel fell off the back of a truck and smacked the left side of the bed leaving me another mark of bad luck.

Top that dad...

Mmmm.... brefasss....

Times are a changing

As most of you know, dad has mellowed quite a bit in the latter years. Can you imagine him doing this 20 years ago?

An Amazing Collection of Letters

I had an epiphany today driving home from work. On a billboard near the side of the road were the words "Champ" and "Chump." However, while driving I mistook one to read "Chomp." It was then that I realized that you can insert all but one vowels into the letters Ch_mp and come up with a bona fide word, dang you Chemp.

Can anyone think of any similar consonant combinations which, without rearranging the consonants, will form a word using all of the different vowels?

More Postings

Gary and Steve, I sent invites to your yahoo accounts. You should be able to achieve sign-onability through those invites.

Musings

I'm excited to share musings that will/would get ridiculed on other forums. Right now I have nothing witty to say. I'm in Idaho for a few days to go snowmobiling with Dad and it ended up taking me 14 hours to get hear. I am weary... but some day I will post something that is so funny you will literally die... I'm tired...

The BYU cheer squad sure dropped off after Rob left:

How to Post

Answers to the first two questions about this revolutionary new blog.

1) All comments are welcome. Also, I do not mean to offend the Moyes Women by setting this up for the guys. The reason is that we don't usually post on the family blogs and I miss my Dad and brothers and want to hear about how everything is going.

2) How to post. First, at the blog page go up to the top right and sign in. Second, click on the "New Post" icon. Third, fill in the information, add pictures etc... and then click "Publish Post." I myself am not an expert so please inquire with the esteemed Moyes Women for further instruction or advanced blogging techniques.

Moyes Men Unite

I was thinking today that we Moyes Men (that includes Steve, Ryan and Rob) need a forum to contribute to the collective intelligence of the blogging world without cluttering the blogs about our families (thanks to all the Moyes Women for the great job) with our idiocy. I actually started a personal blog a few months ago on which I intended to put my own personal musings and things that I found funny; I never did post a thing because I am lazy and didn't think I would post enough to be worth the time. However, I figured I could start a blog for all the Moyes Men to use as desired so we can keep the blog fresh with new material and worth checking out once in a while. SO, I invite the Moyes Men to post any thoughts, videos, personal experiences, pictures and the like, be they funny, spiritual, about BYU sports or whatever. PLEASE KEEP THINGS CLEAN, WHEN IN DOUBT ERR ON THE SIDE OF NONINCLUSION. Blog away gentlemen!
