I don't expect my husband to be my servant so i shouldn't have to be his. It's a two way street! If my life revolved around waiting on him then i'd rather be alone.

How To Be A Good Christian Wife

Your not far off. it was early to mid 70s if my memorey is right, google the lyrics and I cant tell who the fuck performed the song, so many people have an internet claim on it.what I do know however is that teh poet Shel Silversteen wrote it. He also wrote several other country songs that were recorded by a few famous country stars. If ya want to know about them look into Old Dogs.I have the old dogs CD its enertaining with songs like shed rather be homeless than here with me and your still gonna die and the title song of old dog.but back to this song...Odd that it shoudl come up now as I was standing around a camp fire with my buddies wifes dad drunk off his ass just a few weeks ago and he was singing it and I was telling him to please shut the fuck up. It was like watching the worst of american idol.Anyways... the lyrics follow: Put another log on the fire.Cook me up some bacon and some beans.And go out to the car and change the tyre.Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,And then go fetch my slippers.And boil me up another pot of tea.Then put another log on the fire, babe,And come and tell me why you're leaving me.Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday?Don't I warn you when you're gettin fat?Ain't I a-gonna take you fishin' with me someday?Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.Ain't I always nice to your kid sister?Don't I take her driving every night?So, sit here at my feet 'cos I like you when you're sweet,And you know it ain't feminine to fight.So, put another log on the fire.Cook me up some bacon and some beans.Go out to the car and lift it up and change the tyre.Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,And then go fetch my slippers.And boil me up another pot of tea.Then put another log on the fire, babe,And come and tell me why you're leaving me. I recall hearing it onthe radio many many fucking times in my youth, anytime I was with my dad the radio in the old blazer was on country or had an 8 track tape in and it wa always country.

lol I was only saying wow to the cursing i've never seen that side of you before lol

thor, I'm flogging something that isn't at all important here, but perhaps it has lessons in critical thinking. "Cory kindly followed up on our phone call and informed me that a reader had informed him that the text came from a magazine in the 1880's" is very very weak evidence. We know nothing at all about the reliability of Cory's reader, who may have been, for all we know, repeating something he thought he remembered some friend of a friend had once speculated. It needs to be supported by finding the magazine, which none of these people have done. Indeed, if someone says "it came from a magazine in the 1880s", the first thing you should ask is the name of the magazine. If your informant can't tell you, he/she has told you very little.In fact, if that text came from the 1880s I'll eat my hat. If you read stuff from then you'll see the difference. The language is too informal.Why am I belabouring the point? Because you write "This article rings too true about traditional women's roles to be so quickly dismissed as a hoax. It had to come from somewhere", and I can't let reasoning like that go unchallenged. The article is certainly quite an accurate reflection of traditional women's roles. It would have been fairly uncontroversial a few generations ago, and even today I think you could find men and women who would subscribe to it. It could have been published somewhere in a women's magazine - but that doesn't mean it must have been. That's the fault in the reasoning. And we know that the mock-up is fake - if it came from a real article, why not use that?By the way, just as another warning about paying too much attention to people's statements, the article you quoted also says "Finally, one columnist for the Reno Gazette-Journal named Cory Farley, remembered the mockup as being circulated on college campuses in the early 1970's as a plea for women's equality (i.e. he saw it himself when he was attending college)." Here we have a named person who remembers seeing it in the 1970s. The trouble is, he couldn't have. Have a look at the artwork: it has quite clearly "Advertising Archives" written up the side. But Advertising Archives only started in 1990.Digging needs to be accompanied by critical thought.Just an extra note: I think one of the things that gets my goat is the idea of manufactured evidence. Our understanding of the past should be based on truth and not on what someone has made up, and there is getting to be more and more of that around. Much of the footage shown of the First World War, for example, is fake (albeit contemporary fake).

Lol thats not a side of me....thats me. I'm a potty mouth. I usually try to restrain myself on here but I let loose with that.

it's funny, yesterday when a couple of my friends and I were hanging out at my best friend's house and my bf was there. I was eating some ice cream and he looked at me and said "hey can I have some" and I was like no get it yourself. joking around, he was like then go get me some. and then he attacked me because I said "no get it your daggone self!" lol needless to say we got cookie dough ice cream everywhere but in our mouths. and um... my friend was pretty pissed.
cookie dough ice cream is MAD GOOD! by the way.

That is pretty good..lolI haven't heard it since I was a tot, yet, when I saw it, I could hear almost EVERY twangy note! Yep, my folks were country all the way until about 6 years ago, then it is still mostly country. There are a few I still like but eh, rock me baby...

"Cellphones should be limited to the walkie-talkie type with preset numbers programmed by you, otherwise he may begin dealing drugs."
Haha, thats a great line right there! From that sentence alone I may be willing to concede that this is satire. Thanks for pointing this one out Craig.

I agree. And just because what we saw now came from the 1990's or later (as you pointed out) DOESN'T mean it wasn't also circulated in the 1970's. We do have one person who said they saw it in the 70's. We also know, from that same testimoney, that it's been altered...who says it couldn't have been altered more than once? As you yourself state, because of the mindset in past days, such an article is surely possible. So why the inclination to disbelieve it? We certainly, based on nothing more than evidence presented (weak as it is), would tend (based on our understanding of those times) to believe it could be true. So why the resistance? Upon what is your resistance to the idea of the possibility based on? Is there evidence to back it up? Where's the critical thought?

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

I refer you to Occam's Razor, thor.One of the things I've learnt in my own work is that most ideas that sound very plausible turn out, on testing, to be wrong. Assuming that something that could be true is likely to be true is a mistake. And you then compound that mistake when, having assumed it is true, you therefore downplay evidence that appears that it isn't true. (This is an example of avoidance of cognitive dissonance.)I suspect that in fact there have been dozens, perhaps hundreds, of similar satire pieces created for student newspapers and the like. Probably Cory Farley was thinking of some similar piece he had seen. And there could well be a connection between what he had seen and the piece in question, because the writers of these pieces probably often got the idea from seeing something similar earlier. If you could hunt down all the pieces on the topic that have been written you could do an interesting analysis. It's even likely that there have been some genuine, non-satire, articles written that have inspired some of the satires.But that's not the same as saying it was the same piece.I'm flabbergasted by your idea that you must believe everything that is possibly true. How ever can you manage it?

that is...both extreamly sexist and incredibly insulting to both men and women, who would write that? its horible! "only whores use frozen[orange juice]" what the hell is that? if my gf was anythign like that i would dump her faster than an epileptic holding a drink at a light show.

(This is an example of avoidance of cognitive dissonance.)So you've decided to play the odds and gamble that it isn't true? That doesn't sound like a rational arguement to me. It's just like assuming everything you get in an email is automatically false, regardless of all else (something you stated before, more or less). I'll go with a little evidence rather than playing to odds, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Quote:I'm flabbergasted by your idea that you must believe everything that is possibly true. How ever can you manage it? I never said that.
