            <title>Mannenregels</title>
            <link>http://nl.netlog.com/Call_of_the_West/blog/blogid=81855743</link>
            <description>Wij horen altijd “de vrouwen-regels&amp;quot;. Daarom nu eens de regels van de mannelijke kant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==================================================- - - - ======= &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit zijn onze regels: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.)Borsten zijn om naar te kijken en daarom doen we dat ook. &lt;br /&gt;Probeer dat niet te veranderen, werk liever een beetje mee. Trek een strak truitje aan of zo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.)Leer met de toiletzitting om te gaan. Je bent een grote meid. Staat hij omhoog, laat je hem gewoon zakken. Wij willen hem omhoog, jullie willen hem naar beneden. Jullie horen ons ook niet klagen als hij naar beneden staat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.)Zondag = sport. &lt;br /&gt;Net als volle maan of Eb en Vloed. Laat het zo! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.)Winkelen is GEEN sport. &lt;br /&gt;En NEE zo gaan we er ook nooit over denken. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.)Huilen is chanteren. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.)Vraag wat je wilt. Laat ons even duidelijk zijn: &lt;br /&gt;- Subtiele hints werken niet! &lt;br /&gt;- Sterke hints werken niet! &lt;br /&gt;- Kennelijke hints werken niet! &lt;br /&gt;- ZEG HET MAAR GEWOON! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.)‘Ja’ en ‘Nee’ zijn perfect acceptabele antwoorden op eigenlijk alle vragen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.)Kom naar ons met problemen die je echt opgelost wilt zien. Dat is wat we doen. &lt;br /&gt;Voor sympatie en gezeik heb je vriendinnen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.)Een hoofdpijn van 17 maanden is een probleem. &lt;br /&gt;Ga naar een dokter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.)Alles wat we 6 maanden geleden hebben gezegd, is niet meer bespreekbaar. In feite is alle commentaar verlopen na 7 dagen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11.)Als je denkt dat je dik bent zal je dat waarschijnlijk ook wel zijn. &lt;br /&gt;Vraag het niet aan ons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12.)Alles wat we zeggen kan 2 kanten op. &lt;br /&gt;En als de ene kant je boos of kwaad maakt, bedoelen we natuurlijk de andere kant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13.)Of je zegt ons wat te doen. Of je zegt hoe we het moeten doen. &lt;br /&gt;- Niet allebei!! &lt;br /&gt;- En als je het zelf beter weet, doe het dan zelf. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14.)Als je wat wilt zeggen, doe dat dan tijdens de reclame. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15.)Christopher Columbus vond zijn eigen weg.. Wij ook. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16.)Als het jeukt, dan krabben we. Dat doen we. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17.)Als we vragen of er wat is en jij zegt “niks”, dan doen wij ook alsof er niks is. We weten dat je liegt, maar het is geen discussie waard. Ga dan achteraf niet lopen zeuren dat we er geen aandacht aan besteden….! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18.)Als je een vraag stelt waar je geen antwoord op wilt hebben, verwacht dan een antwoord dat je niet wilt horen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19.)En als we weer ergens heen gaan……….echt waar: alles staat je goed. Heus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20.)Vraag ons niet waar we aan denken, tenzij je bereid bent om te praten over: &lt;br /&gt;-Sex, &lt;br /&gt;-Sport, of &lt;br /&gt;-Auto’s. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21.)Je hebt genoeg kleren. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Een gemiddeld 3e-wereld dorp is er jaloers op……. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22.)Je hebt te veel schoenen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De SchoenenReus is jaloers op je… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23.)Ik ben in vorm. &lt;br /&gt;Rond is ook een vorm. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24.)Bedankt dat je dit wilde lezen. Ik weet het, ik moet vannacht op de bank slapen. Maar weet je, wij mannen vinden dat niet eens erg. &lt;br /&gt;Het is net als camperen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==================================================- - - - ========= &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuur dit door aan zoveel mogelijk mannen - Om ze te laten lachen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuur dit door aan zoveel mogelijk vrouwen – Kunnen ze wat leren.</description>

            <title>The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe (1845)</title>
            <link>http://nl.netlog.com/Call_of_the_West/blog/blogid=81634688</link>
            <description>Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,&lt;br /&gt;Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,&lt;br /&gt;While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,&lt;br /&gt;As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.&lt;br /&gt;`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -&lt;br /&gt;Only this, and nothing more.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,&lt;br /&gt;And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.&lt;br /&gt;Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow&lt;br /&gt;From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -&lt;br /&gt;For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -&lt;br /&gt;Nameless here for evermore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain&lt;br /&gt;Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;&lt;br /&gt;So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating&lt;br /&gt;`'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -&lt;br /&gt;Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -&lt;br /&gt;This it is, and nothing more,'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,&lt;br /&gt;`Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;&lt;br /&gt;But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,&lt;br /&gt;And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,&lt;br /&gt;That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; -&lt;br /&gt;Darkness there, and nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,&lt;br /&gt;Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before&lt;br /&gt;But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,&lt;br /&gt;And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'&lt;br /&gt;This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'&lt;br /&gt;Merely this and nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,&lt;br /&gt;Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.&lt;br /&gt;`Surely,' said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice;&lt;br /&gt;Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -&lt;br /&gt;Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -&lt;br /&gt;'Tis the wind and nothing more!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,&lt;br /&gt;In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.&lt;br /&gt;Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;&lt;br /&gt;But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -&lt;br /&gt;Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -&lt;br /&gt;Perched, and sat, and nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,&lt;br /&gt;By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,&lt;br /&gt;`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven.&lt;br /&gt;Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -&lt;br /&gt;Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'&lt;br /&gt;Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,&lt;br /&gt;Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore;&lt;br /&gt;For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being&lt;br /&gt;Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -&lt;br /&gt;Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,&lt;br /&gt;With such name as `Nevermore.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,&lt;br /&gt;That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.&lt;br /&gt;Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -&lt;br /&gt;Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -&lt;br /&gt;On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'&lt;br /&gt;Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,&lt;br /&gt;`Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store,&lt;br /&gt;Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster&lt;br /&gt;Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -&lt;br /&gt;Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore&lt;br /&gt;Of &amp;quot;Never-nevermore.&amp;quot;'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,&lt;br /&gt;Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;&lt;br /&gt;Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking&lt;br /&gt;Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -&lt;br /&gt;What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore&lt;br /&gt;Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing&lt;br /&gt;To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;&lt;br /&gt;This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining&lt;br /&gt;On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,&lt;br /&gt;But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,&lt;br /&gt;She shall press, ah, nevermore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer&lt;br /&gt;Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.&lt;br /&gt;`Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee&lt;br /&gt;Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!&lt;br /&gt;Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!'&lt;br /&gt;Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -&lt;br /&gt;Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,&lt;br /&gt;Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -&lt;br /&gt;On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -&lt;br /&gt;Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'&lt;br /&gt;Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!&lt;br /&gt;By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -&lt;br /&gt;Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,&lt;br /&gt;It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore -&lt;br /&gt;Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?'&lt;br /&gt;Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -&lt;br /&gt;`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!&lt;br /&gt;Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!&lt;br /&gt;Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!&lt;br /&gt;Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'&lt;br /&gt;Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting&lt;br /&gt;On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;&lt;br /&gt;And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,&lt;br /&gt;And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;&lt;br /&gt;And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor&lt;br /&gt;Shall be lifted - nevermore!</description>

            <link>http://nl.netlog.com/Call_of_the_West/blog/blogid=80284156</link>
            <description>Guy: &amp;quot;Can we have sex right now?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Girl: &amp;quot;Can we do what?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: &amp;quot;You know, can I be your first, finally?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Girl: &amp;quot;Um ... no.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: &amp;quot;Why?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Girl: &amp;quot;Because, 1. you have a girlfriend, who happens to be my friend ... &amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: &amp;quot;So, if you don't tell, I won' tell.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Girl: &amp;quot;Besides that, I'm waiting for someone special. Someone that I want to be with for the rest of my life to be my first.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: &amp;quot;I'm not special to you?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Girl: &amp;quot;You're my friend. That's all.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: looks forward and keeps driving. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 minutes pass ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guy: starts to run his hand up the girl's thigh. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: moves his hand, &amp;quot;Don't touch me?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: tries to kiss her. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: screams, &amp;quot;Would you stop.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: continues trying. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: moves to the back seat &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guy: parks on an abandoned street and gets in the backseat with the girl. Starts to kiss her. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: pushes him off and scoots over, &amp;quot;Please, don't do this.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: &amp;quot;Don't do what, I know you want it, I can see it in your eyes.&amp;quot; Moves over to her and starts to unbutton her pants. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: pushes him harder and says, &amp;quot;No, don't.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: getting aggravated, punches her and tells her to stop &amp;quot;playing hard to get&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: crying, continues to fight. &lt;br /&gt;Guy: punches her harder, pulls her pants off, and holds her down. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: screams as he penetrates her, &amp;quot;NO, please don't do this to me!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: puts his hand over her mouth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An hour passes ... &lt;br /&gt;Guy: pulls back and wipes himself off. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: sits on the corner of the seat, sobbing. &lt;br /&gt;Guy: looks at her and says, &amp;quot;You better not tell anybody about this. If you're really my friend, you won't tell anybody about this. You know I love you.&amp;quot; He reaches out his hand to touch her cheek. &lt;br /&gt;Girl: pulls back, &amp;quot;Just take me home, now.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guy: says, &amp;quot;Alright.&amp;quot; Gets in the front seat and drives her home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 months later ... &lt;br /&gt;Girl: &amp;quot;Doctor, what's wrong with me. I haven't had my time of the month in 2 months.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Doctor: looks at her, &amp;quot;You haven't been having your &amp;quot;time&amp;quot; for a reason.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Girl: looks at him and says, &amp;quot;Why?&amp;quot; dreading the answer that she was sure to receive. &lt;br /&gt;Doctor: &amp;quot;You are pregnant.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Girl: faints. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story gets out that she is pregnant, and people start looking to the Guy. He claims that it isn't his because she was sleeping with every guy in the school(which was a lie). He goes to her and tells her, &amp;quot;I'm telling you, if you lie to people and say that I raped you, I'll kill you.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Girl is completely devastated. First, he took her virginity and got her pregnant....then he lied about it. So completely depressed ... the girl commits suicide by drug overdose ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Girls, if this story touched you, use it in your blog as &amp;quot;That's Fucked Up&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;Guys, if this story touched you, use it in your blog as &amp;quot;I'll kill any fucker who does this to my girl or any girl&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gekopieerd van een ander netlog-lid</description>

            <title>Murphy's law of combat</title>
            <link>http://nl.netlog.com/Call_of_the_West/blog/blogid=35064528</link>
            <description> 1. Friendly fire - isn't.&lt;br /&gt;2. Recoilless rifles - aren't. &lt;br /&gt;3. Suppressive fires - won't. &lt;br /&gt;4. You are not Superman; Marines and fighter pilots take note. &lt;br /&gt;5. A sucking chest wound is Nature's way of telling you to slow down. &lt;br /&gt;6. If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid. &lt;br /&gt;7. Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you. &lt;br /&gt;8. If at first you don't succeed, call in an air strike. &lt;br /&gt;9. If you are forward of your position, your artillery will fall short. &lt;br /&gt;10. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself. &lt;br /&gt;11. Never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself. &lt;br /&gt;12. Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder. &lt;br /&gt;13. If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush. &lt;br /&gt;14. The enemy diversion you're ignoring is their main attack. &lt;br /&gt;15. The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: &lt;br /&gt;a. When they're ready. &lt;br /&gt;b. When you're not. &lt;br /&gt;16. No OPLAN ever survives initial contact. &lt;br /&gt;17. There is no such thing as a perfect plan. &lt;br /&gt;18. Five second fuses always burn three seconds. &lt;br /&gt;19. There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole. &lt;br /&gt;20. A retreating enemy is probably just falling back and regrouping. &lt;br /&gt;21. The important things are always simple; the simple are always hard. &lt;br /&gt;22. The easy way is always mined. &lt;br /&gt;23. Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at. &lt;br /&gt;24. Don't look conspicuous; it draws fire. For this reason, it is not at all uncommon for aircraft carriers to be known as bomb magnets. &lt;br /&gt;25. Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you. &lt;br /&gt;26. If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in the combat zone. &lt;br /&gt;27. When you have secured the area, make sure the enemy knows it too. &lt;br /&gt;28.
