Are you a Metrosexual?

No, I'm not a metrosexual, and furthermore I am against metrosexual marriage.

[skinkinthegrass]

What are you inferring? :D

[SoothingDave]

Q9. You're preparing a nutritious snack.

"Nutrious snack" is an oxymoron.

What? No homebirthin' or belly dancin' for the Pharmboy?

[Eagle Eye]

Me? Metrosexual? LOL...Bwahahahahahaaaaa

Heck, I don't even bathe everday.

I eat ham and egg sammiches daily, fart, pick my nose, reject regular deordorant use, shave 3-4 times a week, ride a motorcycle and often have bugs in my hair, beard, on on my face.

I wear Frye boots and Wrangler jeans; my preferred CCW always has a "4" in it. Dogs and small children adore me.

How the heck did I get pinged to a metrosexual thread??

[laney]

I am must be loosing it, because I did a Copy and Paste, so don't know what transpired in Cyberspace! Sorry bout that!

[SoothingDave]

I scored an 11. Thought some of the questions were really unanswerable, or assumed too much. I don't shop for cosmetics anywhere. And who said I wanted to help the environment? Possible answers for that should have included "replace my divots whenever practical" or "partcipate in the controlled culling of native species."

[Petronski]

No prob. I just wanted to point it out in the thread.

[Salo]

I think the question would be better asked as "are you gay?"

[Petronski]

Some of that stuff should NOT be mixed together. LOL

You scored 8, on a scale of 0 to 36. Here's how to interpret your score:
0 - 9
You are not at all metrospiritual. You probably don't live in a city, and your religious life much more rooted in traditional forms and practices than in lifestyle and consumer choices. You model your values on what's most important to you, not on what celebrities are promoting, and you don't stay up to date with the latest trends.

Here's my score... :D

[Rummyfan]

Shucks! I scored 13. But the answers available were pretty limited.

[ZULU]

I thought a Metrosexual was somebody who had sex on the Metro.

[Eagle Eye]

Yeah, admitting I ever shave looks bad, doesn't it?

[Pharmboy]

LOL!! Not since I last checked...(although I've never minded watching belly dancing).

[Centurion2000]

I've got to disagree on the whole foods item to metrosexuality. There is a HUGE difference in taste with regards to some of the more natural meats compared to the stuff crammed full of hormones.

And show me the standard grocery store where you can get good buffalo?

10 - 18 You may lead a spiritual life, but your interests are more 1969 than 2005. You prefer an earthy lifestyle to the city chic way of life that metrospirituals follow. Metrospiritual values like preserving the earth and using natural or organic products are probably important to you, but you're more conservative about the way you reveal these values.

I scored an 11, which surprises me. I think it was a trick question about bumper stickers. They didn't have an option that said: "Your sticker says Gabba Gabba Hey and has the Ramones Eagle logo..."

When I was a little kid, my mom converted to Hindu, so I spent a LOT of time shuttling from Ashram to ashram and encountering simpering, enlightened progressive hippies.

THis was back in the early to mid 70s, and I think was the single most formative reason that sent me rocketing into punk rock (We HATE hippies!) and conservativism (liberals are Nazis!).

It's funny to see what was hip in 1974 is all back again, only with a higher price tag and thinner thighs.

And I'll say it again, as I did in 1974 when I first dealt with these idiots, "What a bunch o' dorks..."

Only back in '74, I was six years old and a hell of a lot cuter than I am now. And I DID have thinner thighs, but only because I weighed about forty lbs...

Yes it's true. I was eating yogurt and flax seed yesterday.

I don't think they'd like me too much then. Oh well.

I'm laid off and have been helping my old man out with his bakery distribution business. We sell organic bread and muffins and other crap to Wholefoods. I gotta tell you that place is a friggin FREAK show. I swear these people have an orgasm at every new organic vegan nasty item they see on the shelf.
For some reason watching one of these mutants spend 25 minutes picking out what gluten-free, dairy-free, organic, antibiotic-free, soy, vegan, low trans-fat, flax seed, taste-free container of Yogurt drives me INSANE!
