So Tuff...We Spell Our Name With 2 Fs

So Tuff to be humble

2008-06-29T10:32:00.000-07:00

Cool story from the Arizona Republic :
This World War II veteran received the Silver Star (among other decorations) for his courage on the European Front but never leaked a word of it to his family.

To have done his duty for his country was enough of a reward for this soldier, husband, and father.

Another inspiring story from the "Greatest Generation".

Addendum to the previous post

Technically the third person shown in the previous post is an occupational hypnotherapist but let's face it, what's the difference!

Welcome to another installment of Consultant of the Week
This week's winner is Alan Seale (pictured at left)

Now Alan looks like a happy guy. In fact, seeing him smile makes me smile inside. So it's of no surprise to me that Alan is a Soul Consultant, not to mention a Certified Life Coach (CLC).

Getting Married is Tuff

2008-06-24T19:07:00.000-07:00

"So Tuff I'm getting married!"

That's a direct quote from one of the original So Tuff founders.

Congratulations to Mr. Tuff Guy and the future Mrs. Tuff Guy

So Tuff - My First Fish of '08

2008-05-28T17:58:00.000-07:00

Jim and I (along with Ethan and Jayden of course) went fishing for about a half hour this evening and on my first cast, I caught my first fish in several years. It was a pretty small bass, but it was a fish!

Getting it Done

2007-10-20T10:45:00.000-07:00

So Tuff I downright rocked the Comcast community. Messed up cable installation? Did she just lie down and wait for another cable guy to come out six hours later and botch it again. No sir!

Instead she took matters into her own hands, hammering her way to vindication, not to mention a decent internet connection.

Way to keep it tuff Mona!

Thanks to Bob Lozano for helping spread the word about this piece of vigilante justice.

So Tuff I Drive A Grandpa Car!

This is the car dad requested for his trip - since he was coming to see his grandson he figured he better have the right transportation!

So Tuff - Famous Missourians

2007-09-13T11:15:00.000-07:00

So according to an AP news story today, Bob Barker has become the 30th inductee into the Missouri Hall of Fame.

They state, "The 83-year-old Barker joins such luminaries as Mark Twain, Walt Disney, Walter Cronkite, Scott Joplin and Charlie Parker."

Ok so I knew of Mark Twain and Scott Joplin, but I had no idea Walt Disney and Walter Cronkite were originally Missourians. It's actually pretty cool to look at the list of famous Missourians. I didn't know Sacajawea was also included. Anyway, pretty cool.

Tuff Stuff Magazine

2006-11-14T12:59:00.000-08:00

I was looking for a Sports Illustrated with the World Series on the front up here and came across a magazine called Tuff Stuff Magazine - actual name. I almost bought it just to see what it was about. We could take over ownership of it and have a blast - what do ya say?

Jim in one of his finer moments

2006-11-14T12:54:00.000-08:00

I found this photo while looking for old God's Gang pictures. It was taking somewhere on mine and Jim's after college road trip, I think somewhere in Colorado but can't really remember. Anyhow, Jim thought it would be great to act like he was a horse going to the horse hotel when I took a picture of the sign.. Ummm yeah, that about says it all.

Catfishing

2006-10-11T16:36:00.000-07:00

So I figure since we each caught these big catfish then we get an extra "F" for Tufffness for the rest of the week. By the way, if you notice in Gabe's picture, he was soaking wet from falling off the dock into 30 feet of water while I was reeling my fish in. So I go to help him up with one hand while trying to keep the fish on the line with the other and he yells at me to catch the fish. We didn't have a camera other than my phone which explains the image quality. Also, we didn't have a digital scale to measure, but each came out roughly to 6.5 - 8.5 pounds.

Larry Connors is not so tuff

Tuff Enough For Minnesota?

2006-09-18T20:16:00.000-07:00

This is an actual ad running in the campaign for governor in Minnesota. They claim he is tuff enough for Minnesota - but Jim and I am not so sure.

Jim and his foot-long hot dog he ate at the Twins game last night. He somehow fit most of it in his stomach - the rest was left for the trash. More fun pictures soon:).

More Sensitive Than Gabe

2006-05-29T18:17:00.000-07:00

Ahhhhhh .... so sweet:). Gabe right before he goes for a romantic, well- thought out evening with Rachel. It's actually more sensitive than Gabe usually appears.

Screenwriting Hits Rock Bottom

2006-05-15T22:16:00.000-07:00

I don't know if any of you have seen previews for the romantic drama "Lake House" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0410297/ starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. The basic plot is as follows: A man and a woman searching for love fall in love by exchanging love letters with each other over a significant time period. Thus far, a pretty typical plot line for a 21st century "chick flick". But as with any "chick flick" there's an extraordinary twist intended to grip the female viewer and leave them emotionally spent by the end of the movie, thoroughly cashing several hundred kleenexes in the process.

The twist in the new film "Lake House" is that the transfer of love letters between Sandra Bullock and Neo transcends the boundary of time. They're in love, so in love, but there's only one problem, one tragic aspect of this story that keeps the two lovers apart: They're living in different times. They send love letters to each other through a "magical" mailbox that can deliver letters 2 years into the past or 2 years into the future and everything would be perfect if it wasn't for the INHERENT UNIVERSAL DIMENSION OF TIME!

This is out of control. It signals to me that the writers of films like "Message in a Bottle" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139462/ have simply run out of ideas that are even remotely feasible. Unfortunately, there is a decent chance that tomorrow, when "Lake House" is released in theatres nationwide, someone will see it.

More Ethan

So tough, I have baseballs on my shoes!

Would the REAL Gabe Lozano please stand up!?

2006-05-07T10:36:00.000-07:00

According to a Google Images search, these are ALL Gabe Lozano? I'm SOOOO confused! But who is the TUFFEST!?--that's the REAL question!

Maria Neels - Tuff

2006-05-02T14:42:00.000-07:00

Imagine doing crunches where every abdominal muscle you have is contracting at the same time. Now imagine this lasting for over a minute. Now multiply the amount of lactic acid accumulation by 50.
What does this feel like?

Keith Hernandez . . . Not so tuff

2006-04-30T10:32:00.000-07:00

A pretty straightforward case against Hernandez here. It's pretty lackluster to follow up "I won't say that women belong in the kitchen, but they don't belong in the dugout." , with "You know I am only teasing. I love you gals out there -- always have." Wow!

Some of the therapists' comments here are pretty funny, but to me it seems like a straight case of men behaving badly. This calls for a slap on the wrist by the broadcasting group and maybe an individual e-mail message from each person in the company simply stating, "Keith, you're an idiot."
