Sopping Manliness

Once we all admit to our lifelong fantasies of the Brawny paper towel man (...I'll give you a minute to own up to it........there), you can first head over to the website for Brawny Academy, in which the paper towel company actually cast some late-thirty-something actor, put him in a thick flannel shirt, and make him pretend to teach husbands how to be more "sensitive" and stuff to their wives (because some ad agency decided the latest version of the Brawny man needed to be sensitive as well as strong). Seriously. Check out the trailer for the upcoming series.

I wonder what the husbands have to call him. "Brawny"? As in, "Yeah, Brawny, we'll try knitting. Hand over the yarn." Or, "Hey, Brawny, if you're so damned well-versed in the desires of women, where's Mrs...Brawny?"

Anyway, once that's out of your system, head over to Serenade in Green, where Stephen is throwing questions even heavier than last weeks' Roundtable about Doomsday. Question, ladies and gentlemen, about paper towels...
