Attendance at Sunday’s “Go Topless” rally Downtown was as scant as a dancer’s pasties, but organizers said the group’s call for equality in public nudity laws drew wide support from the public.

...

There were a few hecklers at first, and a few men carrying cameras left the park looking disappointed.

...

“I think people expected complete nudity,” Sherwood said, having covered up with a bikini top to enter the park. “This is my first time in Pittsburgh, and apparently nothing happens here.”

It seems that living in BFE has made me unaware of a bunch of guys playing and identifying with girly kids’ toys-and it’s a good thing...

I find it impossible to believe that only 1.7% of the men involved in this are gay.....honestly.

“This is my first time in Pittsburgh, and apparently nothing happens here.”

There’s a slogan for the Chamber of Commerce. LOL

I agree-lots of lying going on there...

But there seems to be a dearth of what I think of as “real men”-according to my neighbor’s 2 daughters, the young ones are increasingly effeminate and wimpy-their term for it was not printable here. They only want to date guys who either ride rodeo or a bike as a hobby, and that says a lot...

The few single ones in my age group either are whiny hypochondriacs wanting a woman to listen and take care of them, meaning be their domestic slave-and maybe support them financially, too-or are mostly obsessed with taking low-T meds and Viagra/Cialis, etc to increase their libido, and anti-depressants to cheer them up-they are appalled by a woman who has masculine interests and works with men, and is not interested in anyone who does drugs like that.

Frankly, I’m more of a man than most of them, and I can’t keep from comparing them with the real thing-this is what 40 years of radical feminist bulls*** has gotten us-if that means I’m destined to be single, so be it...

Awhile back, when I told my daughter that in the early 70’s there were “manny hose” for metrosexual type guys, she told me I was kidding, and was sure she was being played until she looked it up...

That game was a tale of two jagoffs.

After Geno Smith (predictably) fell flat on his face, Simms was supposed to go in with the backup offensive line Ok. No Problem

Except it wasnt the backup ol. They had a Guard that had never played center prior to four days earlier in at Center, then they throw in the Presumed Starter, Sanchez at that point.

Predictably, he gets drilled in the shoulder.

RMFE.
