Happy Christmas and New Year!!

Wishing all those who may stumble across this portion of cyberspace a very happy Christmas and a peaceful new year. Maybe next year this blog may even get some actual updates?! Maybe MSN will flourish and become the thing of beauty and delight of which it is capable!! Here's hoping.

Updates

I have had several hundred emails from people wanting to know when the next exciting instalment of Ligerhunter will be arriving. To these people I say; " I don't really know, its not so much that I have lost interest but that I only have access to a PC at work at the moment and staying on a moment longer than I have to once 6pm comes around it a bit of an effort". To other people I say Ha!

Check out the Ditch Monkey's Blog for a bit of amusment in the meantime.

Raison D'Etre

Many, many people (about 3) have been continually badgering me to reveal the purpose of MSN; they have found the clues so far too cryptic and roundabout to actually acertain their meaning. I have therefore decided that some bullet points would probably be the way forward:

Why MSN?

• To get some guys together to deepen friendships and encourage each other in our faith
• To provide a safe environment for Napoleon Dynamite quotes to be fully utilised in everyday conversation.
• Are girls allowed? Yes if they promise to be good and sit quietly.
• Is the sole prupose to attract members of the opposite sex? NO, this may be a happy conincidence but was never considered to be a primary motivation.

I hope this answers some of your questions. Others have been unsure of how to post a comment. To do this click on the 'x Comments' beneath the post, which should expand the comments for a post. Go to the end of the comments and you should find 'Post a Comment', click on this and do as it says. Happy hunting. Nick

What the heck is it??!!

I have had some messages of confusion regarding what the point of this blog is. I will therefore attempt to explain myself.

A couple of months ago two of the guys from my church (me being one of them) had parallel experiences where we found ourselves in a social situation as the only male. We realised that this was not good (others may argue but when you think about it will eventually agree). We wondered how this terrible situation could have developed and decided that there was a lack of solidarity amongst our mates, and that this needed to be redressed. Hence MSN, the Male Solidarity Network, was birthed. Its aims are to increase the bonds of friendship between us blokes and to also provide a forum in which skills can be shared. We had only come to realise the importance of skills after viewing the seminal movie Napoleon Dynamite, an event which has changed our lives. Hence if you have not seen this film it is imperative that you go out and buy it and watch it at least twice.

Skills come in many forms (numchuck skills, bowhunting skills...), but are not soley to be acquired in order to impress the ladies (contrary to Napoleon's statement on the matter). In fact skills are a useful tool in spreading the gospel (a separate post to follow on what is the gospel), as a story which Petros related to us (and will hopefully post) shows.

MSN is open to all and a skills acquisition weekend is planned for the near future. Spread the word and email this post to your mates - lets make this the biggest thing since Tamagotchi.

Controversial....

Obviously Summer is starting a counter campaign!!! With thanks to BustedTees

This don't make no sense....

You're right it don't make no sense, until you watch Napoleon Dynamite and then your eyes will be opened.

A Bold First Step

Hmmm, is it really worth putting this online - will anyone ever read it - can the MSN be an internet based forum? So many questions and yet so few answers.
