If I were you I'd also do some windows.
Just to be safe.

And maybe vacuum a little.

dish-doing is EXTREMELY high on my criteria list for a potential husband.

and laundry, for pete's sake!

I don't know, I think I would hide the gun better.

You just wait till I get married. I'll prove that magnet wrong.

I got your back, Omar.

Then there's the gutters....

I wonder if that's actually true.

I think your wife and I could be great friends! :)

It's not true! I found this on some alt.true-crime Google groups site:

Rene Jimenez was shot with a .22 caliber rifle while washing dishes in the back of the Fujikan Japanese Restaurant, 14376 Culver Drive, about 9 p.m. Monday (January 20, 1988 )

No idea what city it was in but, hey, a man HAS been shot while doing the dishes, so what's the point? Oh, wait, I WANT the men in my life to help with the dishes...nevermind all of the above, then.

Silandara - you're assuming that Mr. Rene Jimenez is(was) married. Omar's magnet clearly says "No Husband"

So the jury is still out - it might be true

Where did she get the magnet? I love its 'tude.

Jon, you're right. I Googled Mr. Jimenez but didn't find out any additional info. Most of the similar magnets I've seen are "No man has ever been shot..."

I guess you'd better get to those dishes then...

And so we enter the realm of petticoat government... step wisely my friend.

On one side there's that unwritten, unspoken Sisterhood Code.
On the other side there are cool points at stake.

Without a doubt: I am on OMARphillips.net side.
Besides, when was the last time anyone ever heard of a Ninja getting shot?

PS: There's also an unwritten Blogger Buddy Code of Ethics.
Elastic told me all about it.

I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!! Please don't deduct cool points. If you do then I'll tell everyone you haven't seen Braveheart...

omar, any kind words about your wife are just a reflection on how cool you must be to have her. so it really is mrsomarphillips.net, and the "mrs" is silent.

oh and i think that any woman who is willing to put their man at the risk of being shot while doing dishes is only showing her confidence in his ability to defend himself. those teflon pans can be hella tough when handled with skill.

Hey Mrs Phillips, I think it's time you start giving Omar more foot rubs and/or more gadgets and/or more lawn stuff. The Universe told me so, and it's about to make the necessary slogan fridge magnets. Please be advised to obey as soon as possible.

And start investing in a dish washing robot. It can also do the gutters. Those Japanese can make anything eh?

Again, don't make Omar do anything chore-like, ever.

We still love you cause you are *the* Mrs Phillips.

But do your dishes yourself and give Omar a break. That's all I'm saying.

*grabs all cool points and scurries away*

Phew, that bit of Omar-loyalty took a bit of saying huh? I wanted to go as far as saying *I'd* do the dishes to prove which side I'm on, but then I realized that was the most ridiculous idea ever.

And the necessary fridge magnets are being made because of that.

I'm thinking that a reward based system would work better than a pithy magnet. Like for every minute you spend over a soapy sink is another minute you get to spend in a soapy tub....with a soapy wife looking for some soap-on-a-rope.

Do you understand how funny your comments have been on my blog this week? Do you??!!!? You almost single-handedly lifted me out of my mini-depression.

Now I'm torn.

The wife part of me is screaming YES! Go do the dishes. But the blogger in me knows full well that the entire point of blogging is to avoid having to do the dishes.

I'm on the magnet's side. I fully support all of your refrigerator magnets (ahem).

I have no qualms about that stance because you and me? We're bff, lol.

Did I mention that I have an iphone?

Where can I get that magnet??

I just came over to congratulate you on being first today at NCS's silly saturday post.

And look how funny everyone's comments are.

It'll be a sad day when washing dishes wins out over blogging. :(

The ultimate in classic magnets.

Omar, you make me happy in ways that a sarcastic magnet never could. I'm secretly glad you haven't blogged anything--it might detract from the awesome comment reflexes you've been exhibiting lately.
