I’m teaching my boys many practical things, but one that I insist on hasn’t made it to the items listed, (at least that I noticed).

Every man should be able to use a either a map, compass or both together, and should be able to find basic directions when no map or compass can be had.

Okay I found the definition myself.

gnarfle the garthak-To have sex with an exceedingly unattractive, usually fat person, especially whilst inebriated. Derived from the movie Coneheads wherein Beldar must fight a hideous, greasy tusk-beast.

Damn she was fugly, but my man was mackin her friend so I had to gnarfle the garthak

My husband’s mother knew he was a heathen at three years old yet she did nothing. I have basically had to raise him these twenty-six years and really all I have managed to do is take the piece of granite that is his head and put it on a pedestal. I’m an idiot.
