Every Man's....Whatever



With the success of the Steve Arterburn (With Kenny Luck's) "Everyman's Battle" Franchise, we at Swirlypine thought it would be a good time to start one of those hyperbole things where you just substitute silly words for "Battle" and eventually it becomes funny. So, let me just prime the pump a little bit, and then, all you carpet cleaners, let the comments roll...

Every man's financial battle
Every man's exercise battle
Every man's caffeine battle
Every man's Atkins diet
Every man's Guide to Tropical Fruit
Every man's Guide to Every man's battle
Every man's Battlestar Gallactica
Every man's Battle Hymn of the Republic
Every man's Battalion
Every man's everything
Every man's guide to writing christian franchise books
Every man's guide to reformed theology
Every man's battle with reformed theology
Every man's struggle with the emergent church
Every man's book of christian jokes
Every man's guide to Campus Crusade for Christ
Every man's battle with their wives
Every man's Bottle
Every man's Buckle
Every man's Coconut
Every man's Guide to Dispensationalism
Every man's Guide to Hugh Ross's Old Earth Theory
Every man's Battle with TBN

And, for our troops over seas, just plain old:

Every man's battle, except that this battle is really only for the guys who joined the armed forces, hey watch out for that literal instead of figurative bullet coming at your head, soldier boy.

Ouch! You don't really want me to read all those books, do you? We must remember Wesley: "Take heed ye be not swallowed up in books"! My shelves are stacked. Now what? By the looks of your list, a good ol' fashioned book burning might be in order.... "Hyperbole"?! Jus' the facts, here--I've told you a thousand times not to exagerate.... Oh yes, we're not "in hiding." We gave you our business card. Maybe you should consult your copy of "Every Man's Battle With Business Cards"?! It is probably your book mark!! Enuf of this. I need to locate Kermit's cel number--he is every man's frog!

mystery solved, your comments are welcome, and we will consider offering you a guest-editor role. this will be discussed at Swirlypine's next editorial meeting. I still remember you saying DONT WRITE EMAILS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU ARE SCREAMING. I have taken that to heart.

O my.... I don't recall warning about SCREAMING--vaguely, I think it may have been a caution about "writing e-mail in your CAP, since you wouldn't see your SCREEN"! Better scroll down to Jay's picture--see the cap, see the arms--that's what happens when you suffer from SCREEN BLOCK. Condi told him he needs an "advisor"--he heard "visor" and now he think's he's "cool." Yikes!
Sasquatch never looked better!! Please check in regarding the next editorial meeting. I must pick up my chainsaw from the shop....
