Frank Advice for Life
If you’re going to be sleeping in the middle of a downpour, a tent which packaging depicts a happy little girl sitting inside holding a stuffed dinosaur may not quite do the trick.

Dammit, you made me click a “twitpic” link.
Sonomabatch.
Now I have twitter cooties all over me.
I need to punch a cat or something.

You’re not going to let that one go, are you, Frank?

She should be holding a Fred the Dinosaur

I thought that was “Bubble girl”. That’s just cruel to let a “bubble person” out in a pouring rainstorm. It would be like the intro to “Wipeout” on a tape loop.

You know you have to zip the door shut, right? I’m just askin’…

Darn you, misleading packaging! I thought the tent came with the girl and the dinosaur!

Forget tents. Real men sleep in caves.

And, yes, the second I clicked “Submit Comment” I remembered that the Taliban likes to sleep in caves.
Fine. Uh, real men sleep inside the stomach of giant bear they killed with their bare hands.

I will help you out MarkoMancuso, real men sleep atop a bed made from the bones of their crushed enemies, with said enemies’ women laying next to them for warmth.

ACORN can help you obtain government funding if you turn both that little girl and her dinosaur into prostitutes.

Naming anything “Fred” is an Obamination and shall at once get the namer smoted within an inch of his/her/it’s life by Mr. Fred Thompson! There shall only be one Fred in the land!!!

Thats what happens when you buy the tent at Toys R Us, next time go with a Eureka tent I’ve had mine for ten years.

Next time, pick the boys’ tent with the
depiction of the happy boy and his
rocket-launching dinosaur.
It will probably leak like a Chinese sieve-tent too,
but you will look a little less wuss-y.

I’ve slept in a tent.
It’s an overrated experience.
Hike, swim, raft, hunt, fish, wrestle bears … sure.
But when the sun goes down, head back to the lodge, take a shower, eat a hot meal, drink a few adult beverages and sleep between clean sheets.
Real men have nothing to prove.
On the other hand, weather permitting, sleeping under the stars (no tent) is awesome!

Ah, why would you BUY a tent with such a picture on the packaging?

How obscure! We took the kids on their first real camping/fishing trip this year and it poured on the first day. We got the freaking tent up in ten minutes and then we all dove into it. We felt super victorious until we realized that the sleeping bags were soaked on the inside. Ended up being a fun trip, but night number one was cold, wet, and awful. Who would make a sleeping bag that is totally weather resistant on the outside and yet not have the top zipper up? Duh…
