Metrosexuals Come Out (marketing to the new feminized man)

Thus, what they really want is a woman with a penis.

Not me. I like real men.

[Oschisms]

couldn't fit into Diesel jeans or a Mini Cooper if I tried, and I'll stick with George Dickel or a good single malt if I stray away from beers (domestic, microbrewed OR imported, depending on my mood and my wallet). The interior design is a hazard of building a new home with a creative wife, and the yoga? Well I just plain like yoga. You got a problem with that? ;)

I like whiskey, but can't really drink it in the summer. I refuse to adulterate it with ice. After yoga, a cold 40oz of Bud is best. Granted, manderin & tonic is a pretty swishy drink, but very refereshing in a 90 degree 90%humidity Fri. night in NYC.

Interior design? In my house, everything is easy to reach and utilitarian. I consider that masculine. It all looks good, too.

Yoga? Shoot, it makes me stronger than weightlifting. It's less gay than weightlifting. I defy any man who thinks he's strong to hang with me all the way through an intermediate Ashtanga class. Not to mention the fact that there are more single women than single men in any given yoga class in America.

ROTFLMAO!! This was a good laugh!!

Give me a "manly man" any day. If my hubby ever starts any of this "metrosexual" crap, I'm packing up all the cats and I'm outta here! Don't think I'll have to worry about that, though. :-D

[stand watie]

ROTFLMRO!

as i've said before:

when we secede again, the ARROGANT/ IGNORANT damnyankees will be so busy arguing about who is the MOST PC, engaging in ever possible sexual perversion, controlling guns, hating/fearing pitbull dogs,taking dope, killing the unborn,raising taxes, promoting ever more useless/needless welfare programs,worshiping at the feet of SHRILLERY & wee willie klintoon,and being HATEFILLED & SELF-RIGHTEOUS, that they won't even notice that we're gone for 5-10 years.

then, perhaps they can get a few thousand "girlymen" and radical feminazis to come south to do battle with the grayclad forces.

that won't be pretty!

The Mach is fine, but its not cheap!

Find a Target with a Clearance end-cap. Gillette comes out with a "new" Mach 3 every six months or so, and Target clears out its inventory.

I got one for free on a $2.00 can of Gillette shaving gel.

Buy the replacement blades at Walgreen's or Eckerd when they're on sale, or buy the Personna 3-blade replacements at Wal-Mart.

They're about half the price of the Gillette blades, and are likely made by Gillette or Schick as private labels.

Sorry. That's more than you wanted to know about Mach-3 razors.

Also, a man doesn't know what he's missing if he's not using a brush and shaving soap.

[ffusco]

Thanks. I also have a collection of vintage razors. My favorite is a "travel" kit by Rolls Royce (yes the RR). The case opens on one side to reveal a geared mechanism and a handle that stropps the razor with a few strokes. When sharp, the blade is removed and inserted on a sterling silver handle.

[ffusco]

Like a Chevy Vega with a 327 and a six pack.

[ffusco]

See 35, Great minds.......

[sinkspur]

For grins, I go out to E-Bay and look at the collections of old razors that are offered. Some are mint Gillettes, with "Blue Blades" intact.

[ffusco]

Blue blades? You mean the old double edge "banjo blades?" I have been using my grandfathers old Gillette kit- It's heavy, but the blades hold an edge for many shaves.

[ffusco]

1928 Cord Phaeton re-dux. Sweet.

[ffusco]

Vic Kiam!

Nice enough car, like a new Boneville, But give me a restored 1968/9 GTO convertible- like the one I just sold this year.Dammit! Sucks having to give up my toys ( bought a house 3 years ago.)

[mhking]

Sucks having to give up my toys

Been there, done that. My very first car was a restored '74 MGB. Had to sell it when we moved from DC to Northern Indiana and money got tight.

I still kick myself...

[ffusco]

And Of course, Now I see hot rods everywhere. I will not sell my old Bike though- 1975 Motoguzzi 850-T (cafe set-up with ace bars)

What brand of Vodka do you recommend. I tried a good Polish label at a crawfish boil recently but I was really loaded and can't remember the name.

McCormick's. Most definately! $9 for 1.75 liters.

Just kidding, of course. I've had more than a few not-so-great times after swilling McCormick's. They also make whiskey which costs a whopping $10 per 1.75 liter and tastes like no whiskey I've ever tasted before.

Three Olives is supposed to be pretty good. I have to admit I've never tried it before (I'm not a big vodka drinker) but I love their ads!

Plus, Three Olives is imported from England unlike Grey Goose --which is from France.

What a bunch of Nancy Boys....

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Anyone here ever see Al Gore (attempt to) throw a football?

I remember that. His effort to look athletic and manly definitely backfired. He took little short, hesitant girly steps and threw like a girl. Bad move.

[Huck]

These are just homos who haven't come all the way out yet.
