Real men play hockey. Like, uh . . . Alberta's Child!

Nice find! The dims will NEVER "get it." Thank you.

"Dan Rather, sensitive man writ satellite, sobbed his way through an appearance on David Letterman. This picture of the American male ought to send the terrorist folks scurrying."

I was castigated for mentioning this at the office after it happened. The men shrugged and said oh well, and the women screeched that I was "insensitive."

[Huck]

There must be some "market forces" in play here. I mean, there must be some women who want this kind of man. There must be women who see a waxed chest and immediately start panting. Or else why would men do it? The straight ones, I mean?

It's probably a lot of hype anyway. I mean, what do models have to do with reality anyway? Come to think of it, probably 99% of the men with waxed chests are either swimmers, gay, or both.

President Bush, with evidence of an evolving real man swagger, has taken a beating for saying aloud of Mr. bin Laden, the likely mastermind behind the WTC massacres, "Wanted: Dead or Alive." The chattering class, well, chattered, about this real man faux pas, "What kind of message does this send to the world?"

"Dyin' ain't no way to make a livin', boy."

Oddly enough, I was just thinking about Eliot Ness before reading this. After he retired from law enforcement, he became a true hoplophobe : Thought all guns were evil and wouldn't allow one in his home. I guess all those years of being shot at make this understandable, but it's still disappointing that one with so deserved a reputation as an American hero would, if alive today, probably be on the side of those wishing to destroy our Second Amendment rights.

Dan Blather ain't a man. He's Janet Reno's twin sister.

Now men covet the smooth, silky look.

Glad I missed that fashion trend, and will continue to do so.

A "real man" in a swimming pool looks like a floating doormat.

So nice of Fran Leibowitz to pipe up, that hideous, dwarf dyke.She may dress with more machismo than Al Gore, but no man,especially this one with his own full chest of hair, needs to hear her pathetic mewlings.Frannie, babe, I'm not sensitive, and proud of it.

I just got the newest TV guide. There was a stomach turning 'cheer' in their Cheers & Jeers section, wherein they praised Rather, Jennings, and Brokaw for their performance immediately after 9/11/2001. Called them 'true anchors'. They appear to be trying to create opinion, rather than reflect it : They must know how many were offended by Jenning's attitude especially, so they're publishing this cheer to frighten the intellectually timid who were offended into questioning their own judgment. After all, if the "experts" think Rather and Jennings did a good job, it must be so.

[Dan from Michigan]

YES.

Out goes Leonardo DiCrapio, in goes "John McClane"

Now if they finally bring back the Miami Vice Beard, I'll be very happy!

We had this particularly virile looking guy at work. He had a lot of chest hair. I have none. Once in a while I had wished I had more. One day the topic came up
during a group discussion and he mentioned something I'd never thought of. He stated that he didn't like being so hairy because it hindered him feeling his mate when
they were close. That was the last time I ever wished I had more chest hair. EOS.

[George Smiley]

I'm getting hair on my back. I guess I'm doomed.

[Huck]

Is Clint really a real man, or did he just play one in the movies?

[TXBubba]

Same here - from a woman. Now, hair backs are another thing.
