Except m two perfect sons, of course. . . .
When I was in the third grade there was a guy, a fourth-grader, that enjoyed kicking my butt at every recess, every day. No matter how I tried to run from him he always caught up with me. It finally occurred to me: I'm going to get beat up anyway so I may as well quit being a coward and get my own licks in. So I began ambushing the guy. I would hide around a corner of the school building and wait for him to approach, then suddenly jump out and punch him in the nose. He whooped me all over the place but for the first time I had inflicted pain on him. Next day, same thing. He got smart and approached corners at a wide angle. I had learned he would only whoop me out on the playground, never in the hallways. So, when I passed him in the hallway I punched him in the nose. He was taken by surprise and actually fell down. Another first for me. He got up and knocked me down as usual. This ambushing tactic and the butt kicking that followed went on for several more days. The guys nose was swollen (my entire head was) from my tactics. And then that magic day came...he didn't attack me at recess. Happily, I ceased the ambushing.
Now, I'm not advocating this as a cure for bullying and it may not have been the smart thing to do but it worked in my case. I suspect bullies of today are more violent and disturbed than this 1960's bully was. Looking back, he could've hurt me a lot worse than he did had he been a more violent type.
unless it’s Carson’s last show and then only briefly
it’s out there unfortunately...some homo porn with some guy who looked sorta like Conners but was not him
Conners was on a pretty straight up trajectory from WWII on...hard to figure him ever needing to do anything that desperate and he had plenty of wives and kids
the velvet mafia loves to make flambeau claims
Fire for effect: Direct hit!!
51. A Retrosexual or Neosexual is not afraid to go to church and submit to God Almighty.
Amen...
52. A Retrosexual or Neosexual knows that Jesus was no wimpy doormat. Jesus was showing incredible control when he allowed himself to be sacrificed for our sins.
Once again, Amen!!
Three shots fired, three direct hits! Bravo Zulu!!

Real men don’t need a silly list to tell them what to do.
Real men don’t give a rats patoot about lists created by other people purporting to define what he’s supposed to be..even if he agrees with most of the list.
Ditto. I actually had a male barber who used to butcher my hair on a regular basis. I was given advice by a male friend to go see a person, a female, who cut his hair. My male friend epitomizes the caveman style of manhood and would never be mistaken for a metrosexual. The women have been worlds better than the "Bill the barber" who used to shred by hair.
THANK you!
My barber is of the old school. He works the clippers like an artist. Then he gets warm shaving cream{old spice} on the back of your neck and razors shaves it. Even does the eyebrowns and ear hair.
The magazines are either Guns and Ammo,Playboy or Car and driver.He has a little bar in the back for customers so they can have a beer while they wait {free of charge}. He also offers men a chance to place bets on College or NFL games.
It is like a throwback to the 40s.
This is a bozo list. Anyone who disagrees with me — meet me under the old oak and we’ll settle it mano-a-mano.
