This thread is for men only. No enforcement necessary. Just don’t post here if you’re not a man. :-"
(This thread is dedicated to Kris the cat.) 
So anybody watch the game?
not too into team sports…
Wouldn’t it be so much easier if there were actual “Man-cards”? Or Manly subjects of conversations?
I wonder what a review of each thread will reveal? Or what we will be able to infer. That men write inordinarily about sports and women about “boys”?!? I don’t know…I guess it just seems to me that the division is sorta artificial and that at this level the differences will be undicernabble. I am not saying that there are no differences, because biologically/hormonally we are different, but that education is probably, at ILP, a greater force that levels the conversation subjects possible for all participants regardless of sex.
What are man cards?
Say for example you are at a bar and ask for a “Fuzzy navel”- that is a “chick’s drink” and so one of your bro’s might say as a joke that you should give up your "man-card, just as some cop might be asked to give up his badge. A man card is like a badge. A cop, to retain that badge, has to act in accordance to a standard. With men, in this analogy, a man card is another badge that they keep or lose in relation to how they perform in accordance or not, with said standard. Chick drinks are prohibited for a badge carrying man. You get one and you have to surrender your “man card”.
Just thought I’d get that out of the way early.
Anyway - any of you guys good with image manipulator programs…? I use Paint.net. How about a ‘man-card’ competition…?
Ah, the man council. Some of the most interesting players will be missing… I noticed that I’m already being dented a little in the women’s forum. Why is it women remember every little goddam detail for a hundred years when men can’t even remember what color socks they put on in the morning? Men can be devils (I know, I are one), but women seem to take delight in pointing out every flaw a man has and has had forever. The wimmins are devilish scorekeepers.
On sports: The Vikings suck pond water. Oh, Favre will pull his head out and have one or two decent games, but overall. purple sucks. Last nite: The Pats handed the fish their heads. Brady looks like he’s back in shape and that will make the season interesting again…
What did the blonde say to the other blonde about American education?
(answer here: youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww )
Such a nice young lady.
I have no clue what we’re supposed to talk about here…
I say let’s pick some topic that’s bound to bring about some conflict and division… just to see how we handle it.
At least our thread will have some content, even if risk getting into some name-calling or some other unpleasantness.
I’m literally up for discussing anything… provided I know enough to contribute to a discussion.
So please, pick a topic and let’s actually discuss something!
Anything but mindless chit chat… I can’t stand small talk…
it makes me want to chokeslam someone through a burning table… But that’s just me.
Holy shit. Seldom has American youth been so eloquent. Mind you, wasn’t really a fair question, now, if they’d asked her about her nails…
“I am sitting here laughing at myself,” she said good-naturedly. “Is that really me? It’s like I’m not in my actual body.”
She seems great.
Here’s mine, show them if you’ve got them.
The stakes have been raised.
I have a competition in me…
Man, my balls itch.
I want a Mancard like Tab’s. I’ll have to get another picture of myself on-line at some point.
Let’s see, I’m going to make a detailed post about The F%^$&*$ Game later on tonight. I’ll be specific later, but briefly it’s a game that myself and nine other friends played (the length of the game is ten years) where you score points based upon your success with women. Getting married set me behind obviously, (The game ends in about eight months, and upon getting married they made me the designated scorekeeper) because I am not scoring points anymore, but I’m still sixth in the standings and was third at my best point.
And pick up lines, we should have some of those too. We could end up with an ILP version of ‘The Game’ on our hands.
The last part of the previous post was a joke, by the way. We have no such game, we kicked the idea around when we were kids, but ultimately decided against it because it promotes both relationship infidelity and increased STD exposure for no purpose other than to attempt to win the game.
Let’s see, man stuff:
The Patriots laid an absolute thrashing on the Dolphins yesterday, so now I’m 2-2 in both of my fantasy leagues. Interestingly enough, the league where my Defense/Special Teams was the Patriots (32 Points) I lost, but in the league where my Defense/Special Teams is the Dolphins (5 Points) I won.
I have to get up on a ladder and clean the outside of all of the windows and all of the window frames, as well as cleaning off all of the downspouts before it gets too cold. Additionally, I need to mow the lawn once before Winter gets here if it will ever stop fucking raining.
I’m in the process of building a porch swing. I have all of the materials that I need to do the job, it’s somewhat time-consuming, (Mostly the sanding is time-consuming because I insist on using a small block and sandpaper) so I’ll probably shelf it until it gets too cold to do anything else.
I want to extend (and expand) the driveway, but it looks like the temperature is going to drop too low for the concrete to properly cure every night for the rest of the year. That, and it won’t stop raining.
Goshdarnerize it Pav. I had my hopes up there.
