Mike from Barely Legal has a new blog called In It But Not Of It.

Today, he writes a post that only a man could write. It’s about the death of a dear piece of consumer electronics.

I say it’s a Post Only a Man Could Write because, really, women don’t anthropomorphize things the way us men do. If a woman’s favorite hairdryer breaks, she might be sad about it, but you’ll never hear her say something like “Oh, Doris! <sob!> You were so good to me!”

But when my 1980 Honda Accord died, I said “Goodbye, Hubert!” and gave a little sniff when the tow truck hauled him away.
