DiffWhack, what would I be after since I'm female? I know the term 'trophy' for women but what would a prize husband be called?

On an aside, I actually had a dream that I was in Moab last night. I could almost smell the hot mud tires, feel the dry air, taste the cold beer.... you guys don't know how unbelievably lucky you are to be going!

In this instance the later term is referring to kids.

The quote was "a wife and some #@<K trophies", not a singular "trophy wife". Notice the last letter of the cleverly desguised swear word I hope this clears it up for you.

However, I am not sure what the term for a man is. Hang on, I'll ask my female co-worker.........She doesn't know, sorry

Ah hah! My misunderstanding then. I always thought kids were $%#^ing pain in the @$$e$

There's got to be a term for prize husband though... I won't rest until I find out what it is, lol.

Spas, I believe the term is "Mr. Right" and he's just a figment of your imagination.

Since we're being specific it's 'disguised' not desguised, but all is forgivable if beer is the reason .

No ill feelings Diff Whack... I'm sure not many know that you had an 'inside joke' of this nature.... I just thought your comments were a bit rude. My wife tunes in every now and again and it's nice to have respect shown for our (at least my) better half.

Spas, there is no such thing as a 'trophy' type husband as we're all (obviously) subservient to our selected woman.

Strait out of http://www.urbandictionary.com

Trophy Boy

A term used to describe a guy who has the total package, or seemingly the perfect guy. A guy who possess all of the traits that a particular girl could want in a guy (good looking, great body, athletic, intelligence, great personality, sense of humour, ambitious, talented, etc.).

I know that 90ranajo is a maybe now. I am still trying to convince him to go though.

There has been a little talk of trails, but nothing put together as far as a schedule. For the early arrivers, I would like to recommend Top of the World on Friday. I've heard it's an all day run, pretty tame, but incredibly beautiful views. I haven't done this trail yet so I was hoping that someone who has would volunteer to guide.

A Definitive "Maybe"

Looks like we have a gap of time that would be well filled with a return trip to Moab (first time back since 2000).

Would be fun to go back and explore some of our favorites (Posion Spider, Steel Bender, Fins & Things, Porcupine Rim, etc.) as well some new ones. . .

No longer a "Big Dawg" - - still running just 33's, but will help lead or assist on some of the Super Stocker runs. . .

I think I better switch to a "MAYBE". Last week in Moab for the Bronco Safari my old Dana 28 finally gave up the ghost. I guess it had finally had enough of 35'' tires and 300 LB/FT.

So, making this trip now depends on how long my SAS will take and how quickly I can have the parts/money. Hopefully I can have it done it time!
