Renovator, Car Man or Poonce??
22/8/08 | Teddy Betts

Posted on 08/23/2008 7:09:50 AM PDT by Teddy Betts

Is there a problem with enjoying modern stylish fashionable furniture as a hobby? I have been advised that talking about cars around the office is far more acceptable and manly than talking about the modern sleek lines of furniture or the leather interior of a car is far tougher than talking about soft Italian leather from a perfectly handcrafted Italian leather Sofa / Masterpiece that sits in my loungeroom for me to admire that I purchased from Home Concepts in Melbourne. I would much prefer to go to a site like www.fivekings.com.au than carsales.com and does this mean I’m a poonce? I honestly believe that just because I choose interior design over changing a diff makes me less of a man because I too would be happy to learn how to change a diff rather than be closed minded and besides all the so called men out there are told that they have to buy what they are told anyway and I’m sure in many cases they too are coming home to well designed and spacious pieces from furniture stores in Melbourne.

Poonce means vagina. Perhaps he meant poofter. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Mollie Bloom, call your office.

As for your point, it could be worse. This Aussie was once taken aside by his Oz mates and asked if he was homosexual. The reason? At parties he liked to talk to the women.

Can you help rudeboy out with any suggestions? I’m thinking a handgun or two.

How very un-"Karl Farbman"-like.

I know lots of women who are turned on by men who post run on sentences with no punctuation. Fear not.

This is going to be a more fun ping list than the not-a-ping-list.

***I have exercised my veto power very rarely with regard to home decorating. The only instances I can think of involved my wife wanting a whole lot of “rose” colored (pink!!) paint, and later, the notion of covering up the beautiful cedar plank walls in the den. Damn that HGTV, giving her ideas like that.

For the most part, she can decorate however she wants. I’m usually out in the garage, either working on the car, doing some woodworking or reloading some ammo. As God intended.***

Yep, as God intended.

I’m smiling at your reply especially because I wanted to add to my post a warning about pink. But for brevity’s sake, I didn’t mention it.

Thanks Teddy, may I call you Teddy, or is it Mr. Betts?
It has been so long since I was able to use this pic, and you gave me the chance to do so.

Ricardo Montalban once said, “Any fool can jump from bed to bed, but satisfying one woman for a lifetime, THAT requires a real man.”

Liking interior design doesn’t make you unmanly.

And I say that as a born and bred car guy who doesn’t know Early Colonial from minimalism.
