Nasty, big, pointy teeth!

Carry your damn guns, people.

Worst. Team. Ever.

To be clear, that’s worst Astros team ever, not worst baseball team in general.

Number 98.

TMQ Watch watch.

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Last December, TMQ Watch responded to TMQ’s assertion that “Favre’s 297-game streak will never be broken”, offering Peyton Manning as an example, and stating

…we are willing to bet TMQ $5 that Peyton Manning breaks Favre’s record. If WCD and TMQ can agree on someone to hold the bet in escrow until Halloween 2016, WCD will put our $5 up now.

TMQ never contacted us to agree on terms. However, we are honorable people, and we clearly lost that bet. Accordingly, in lieu of paying TMQ $5 directly, we are making a donation to A Call To Men, an organization TMQ praised in that same column.

Leadership Secrets of Non-Fictional Characters (part 7 of a series).

Ranger Up is one of my preferred clothing vendors. (As I may have noted previously, I am partial to my “Mr. Grenade” shirt, since that phrase gets a lot of use around the office.)

Anyway, I was poking around the site this morning (looking at the new MAC-V SOG shirt) and ran across Nick’s Rules on Leadership. I think these are linkworthy. There is a lot of overlap with other entries in the leadership series, but this is the kind of thing that’s good to have in one place, maybe so you can print it out and drop it on someone’s desk.

(I would like to note, for the record, that I do not currently feel any need to print this out and drop it on someone’s desk. I note this because certain someones have mentioned that they read this blog. This is also one of the reasons I do not talk very much about my work life.)

(I would also like to note, for the record, that I haven’t abandoned the leadership series, even if there haven’t been any recent updates. I post stuff when I find it, and when I think it is worth posting.)
