Tough Love.

Congratulations, Songbird! Your entry really sums it up for me. He is, indeed, so tough and strong and rugged and virile and...And he's my love. Email me @ pioneerwoman2006@yahoo.com. You just won a $25 Gap Card, where you can splurge on some sale jeans.

Okay, Nancypants, you get the Clever Honorable Mention for "Marlboro Manure". I just wish the photo had shown how caked his pants were---whew! Very good one, Nan. And Just Me, I think there needs to be a Cowboy Calendar, if there isn't one already. Thanks for the idea! Denise's "In Need of ReeFreshment" was cute and oh, so true.

Klynntx, I loved "Damn, I'm Hot!" because it's both temperature-appropriate (105) and true to his sizzling looks. But he's so humble and unassuming, he would never, ever utter that phrase. Faith, you get the M.C. Hammer Honorable Mention for your analogy to the classic tune. That was great. And Bekah, you win the Cerebral Honorable Mention for pointing the one thing our world doesn't have: scratch & sniff internet. (And praise the Lord for that.)

Sandra, you get the Cattlemen's Association Honorable Mention for "100% Beef". Thanks for the plug for our industry. Jacquelyn in NC, your "Come Hither Eyes; Go-Away Smell" really made me chuckle.

I really loved this contest because it gave me an opportunity to provide independent confirmation to my beloved Marlboro Man that he is, in fact, a love god. I've been trying to convince him of this for years, but he truly believes I'm the only one on earth who thinks so. And that gentlemanly humility makes it even worse. Mmmmmm...

And I could keep naming entries I loved...but it's time to click "Publish". I'll catch ya next time!

Well, thanks for the honorable mention! I'm so... honored. :^) Hee hee! I've been uninspired with all the other ones. For once I was pleased with my wit. Thanks for humoring me!

Yay! Thanks for another honorable mention. As long as it's not a case of "always a bridesmaid, never a bride", I'm happy! Seriously, I'm touched by your love for and devotion to your husband. It's not often I hear wives talking about how fabulous their men are...it's made me think about the things I say about my man.Anyway, it was fun; thanks!Denise
