THIS JUST IN FROM THE 2010 JAMBOREE:  Mike’s proposing these 6 Simple Tenets in Defense of Dirt:

1.)  I believe the willingness to get dirty is a fundamental requirement of civilized society.

2.)  I believe that God created dirt – not cleaning products.

3.)  I believe that a clean mind and a dirty body can walk around in the same skin.

4.)  I believe that honest work looks an awful lot like dirt.

5.)  I believe that without dirt, we don’t eat.

6.)  I believe that it’s absolutely, positively essential to play in the mud.

HEY - everybody out there – what do you all think about this?  Join in the mission of Dirty Jobs by endorsing or augmenting this Defense.  If you have additional suggestions, please say so.  Right there in the comment section. 

We’re listening…

** UPDATE! Chad has made the TOP TEN FINALISTS in Mitchum’s “The Hardest Working _________ in America” contest! WHOO HOO!! Please vote every day until the contest ends August 15th!! **

Mike Rowe has submitted Chad Pregracke as The Hardest Working Do-Gooder in America in Mitchum’s “Hardest Working ______ in America” contest.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with Chad, he’s a great guy who spends every working day cleaning up America’s rivers.  And he doesn’t get paid for doing it.  Instead, he relies on the refund value of the recycled scrap and donations to his not-for-profit organization, Living Lands and Waters.

You can find out more about Chad and what he does on our website but right now, Chad needs your votes.  In fact, he needs LOTS of votes.  We’d love it if you, your friends, family and co-workers would please click here:
VOTE FOR CHAD
