Where are all the men?

[ChuckEPenguin]

Yeah, don't you guys prefer aerodynamically challenged?

Thank you. Nice to see someone around here is sensitive to the feelings of other species.

Yep, that's me. Species sensitive, all the way.

I should get a reward.

My niece recently convinced my son that moths will skin you while you sleep.

Maybe roaches will suck your blood.

Haha.

I spent part of my childhood believing that menstruation was a village in Tuscany. Dad sure knew his birds and bees.

LOL! My older daughter and her best friend told my younger daughter that the tooth fairy was going to turn her head into a dollar.

My oldest nephew told his younger brother that a monster lives in the toilet. Yeesh, my sister had a hell of a time potty training poor S. The kid was still in diapers in kindergarten.

A kid in kindergarten convinced my best friends son that their was a monster in the toilet, too. He wouldn't poop and made himself really sick before his parents realized what was going on.

OK, men, help me out here.

Yesterday, I talked to a man, a grown man, who told me he had seen a cockroach in the bungalow he’s staying at and was so freaked out and scared he couldn’t sleep all night. Dude, it’s a cockroach not a Bengal tiger. Get over it.

Has the man train left the station, never to return? Seriously, I’m seeing it more and more. What’s going on?

Maybe men can't or won't live up to their stereotypes anymore. Women certainly have jettisoned their own stereotypes in the past 2 decades or so.

Kids are so cruel. I wonder how many psyches I damaged as a child? I was every bit as smart-assy as I am now. My best friend's parents worked really hard to keep her believing in Santa as long as possible and I made it my mission to expose the truth.

T: But there was a boot print on the carpet, by the fireplace.
K: They just used your dad's boot.
T: *starting to cry* But...but...I got this letter and it's old fashioned
K: That's just regular paper, they just burned the edges a bit. See, it's your mom's handwriting.

I'm a villain. Maybe people should throw rocks?

You keep bringing up this rock thing.

I think you want us to. Is this a new fetish?

 

[Keroin]

Could be. Maybe it's just boredom disguised as a fetish?

Maybe I'll start a "Throw Rocks at Keroin Thread" and see how it goes?

I still am not tying cookies to those rocks.

They're mine.

Or maybe they're just big sissys?

Oh dear, I'm afraid you'll have to throw some rocks at me for that!

(Am I being too obvious now, Gracie?)

I'm beginning to suspect that you are *gasp* a masochist!

But no! That'd be horrible! I can't even comprehend such horror! Forget I ever said it!

[BiBunny]

I'm with you, Keroin. I've been oh-so-tempted to launch into my pet rant about the sissification of the American male (and other nationalities, too) quite a few times here. If I'm stronger, tougher, and more traditionally "masculine" than a possessor of male genitalia, I lose a good bit of respect for said person.

*Shrug* I'm a bitch, but that's how I roll.

There's always a seat for you on my bus, BB. Just wear a helmet. The rocks, you know.

Oo! My neighbour just called and she has some coconut cake for me!

Gotta motor. Later skaters.

Gecko's are a dime a dozen in the SP. I hear you on the ants K, they are everywhere and get into everything...but eating your lingerei???.do tell...must be nice and tasty..

....Up in Gizo, Solomon Islands, I saw the largest spider..the main body was the size of the plam of my hand. Absolutely massive. We gave that boy a wide berth when walking past it.

After a few of the comments on the thread I just dropped my jeans nd checked.. the under carriage still hangs down nicely for me.

I may be joining the party late but things started to go downhill when they made British Bulldog illegal. Now, back in primary school and much of secondary, I was a real pussy, skinny as hell, no real strength and even less willingness to hit people but even I enjoyed British Bulldog because it was like rugby except with no ball and no need for any technical abilities beyond "somebody's running, kill they ass". Yeah, minor injuries were to be expected and slightly-more-than-minor injuries were a fairly common occurrence, but that's just part of the fun (it is all fun and games until somebody loses an eye, but then it really does become hilarious). When they got rid of that and all the similar games it was just sad; one of my favourite memories of being in sixth form was the time two-thirds of the entire year got together to play Bulldog during games with the coaches' blessing, it was hysterical.

Translator needed. Is this by any chance "kill the carrier?"

I really don't get into team sports actually and none of the people I'm really into are either. I like the people into one on one MA or personal-best sports if any. Toughness is admitting you're scared out of your mind when your loved ones are sick and still staying a useful non-wreck. I did this as a teenager, I expect it of adults.

It's the clinging mommymemommyme ness of a lot of men which they're still confusing for "be sensitive" that I object to. I'm not here to make you feel better, get a grip. My idea of weak worthlessness is emotional, has little to do with bugs or spiders per se, but they're a good metaphor.

I've met a lot of men who imagine themselves strong men I could make cry and not in a nice tears of love way, but with contempt and simple manipulation. Or simple honesty which they're on the run from.

Actually and *genuinely* sensitive men are hot as fuck. Reactive, emotional, real men. Yum.

I would have had a beer and a smoke and a fight with that roach, and then got it pregnant.

But then I would have never met that roach either cause I would still be searching for the bungalow unsure of directions. I need that roach too, as the ladies don't seem to think scurvy is too attractive.
