"Only faggy men drink mixed vodka drinks." I don't know, one of my favorite drinks in college was a "kamakazi" made with 151 proof vodka, lime juice, and triple sec - shots. In those days I wore Levi Stauss, Converse All Stars, and Hanes t-shirts purchased at Penny's.
If that's "faggy" this country is over-run. Now, had the t-shirts been "Fruit of the Loom," you might have had a point! ;^)

Alan Alda, John Lennon, even Al GoreOne of my favorite lines of all time:
'Alan Alda is a woman with a penis.'
-- Harry Stein, "How I Accidentally Joined the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy (and found inner peace)" I have to read the book again to find the exact quote. Fun book.

If we were to fight the civil war today...something tells me that the uncouth rednecks would kick a@@ and take names. I could be wrong. I met guys like this in NYC. They were also usually deathly afraid of guns. I just don't trust a man that's afraid of guns. Somethin' ain't right about that.

Bwhaahahahhahaha.

I just don't trust a man that's afraid of guns. I don't trust women who are afraid of guns either. Long live the manly man.

Somehow I don't think 'metrosexuals' would grace upstate with their presence for very long. The local pub/saloon probably doesn't sell the right kind of vodka.
To: farmfriend
Come to think of it, I don't either. Maybe they're just channeling a 'fear of men...REAL men' into a fear of guns. Very Fruedian that. What we have here is a culture developing where the men are afraid to be men and the women fear real men. Ah, the joys of feminization of the men. /sarcasm

No metrosexuals only go upstate to go to Bed and Breakfasts, go antique-ing and ski. I meant the locals.

choosing a different cologne each day. Obsession. My husband wears some cheap stuff that really smells good on him but my favorite has always been obsession.
You lost me on the shaving though. I prefer facial hair. I'll leave the reasons to imagination.

try beau monde instead of, or in addition to the celery salt. it is, imh (and, uh, metrosexual, i guess) o, far superior. otherwise, i'm with you 100% on the recipe. sometimes, for variety, i add a pinch of steak sauce.

ah. Yes, definitely. Met some of the locals at the counter demonstration to the million moron march in '01. Nice guys, drove pickemup trucks and wore flannel shirts. Not very sissyfied looking.

It gets worse. Check out this article on Metrosexuals from
Canada NewsWire:
The results of the survey might have spurred Lerner & Loewe to rephrase their question. In 2003, a more apt query would be: "Why can't a man be more like a woman?" The answer: He is.
Consider:
* Men's dreams are changing. The Euro RSCG survey asked respondents what they would opt for if a genie could grant them "only one wish." Choices included such dreams as being proclaimed a national hero, heading up a major corporation, and being a Major League sports star. What just over two-thirds of the men chose was not riches or fame or glory, but love, family, and friendship. More than a third (35%) want more than anything "to grow old with a woman I love." Next was "to have happy, healthy kids" (22%), followed by "to have a circle of friends who support me unconditionally and whose company I enjoy" (10%). Only 8% dreamed of heading a Fortune 500 company, with most of those coming from the under-30 and childless cohorts.
* Men are increasingly comfortable describing themselves in emotional terms. When asked to choose from a list of approximately three dozen words, only 20% of the male sample described themselves as "sexy" -- but 46% consider themselves "romantic." The word today's men are most apt to assign to themselves: "caring," selected by 74% of respondents. ...
More, if you can stand it.
