A Metrosexual is a sissy.

Cops and robbers... What do the pansy kids play? "UN Inspector?"

BWAAAAAAHAHAHA...

[ffusco]

Been waiting a while to use that one ;)

[maxwell]

Outstanding, dude. I just might steal it from ya sometime...

Who needs toy guns? My youngest makes pistols, rifles and machine guns out of legos. I adopted my oldest boy from a village with no motorized vehicles. We gave him a toy truck and he automatically started making engine noises. Boys are hard wired to be boys.

Rock fights are cooler - you get a metal trash can lid for a shield, and a tennis racket for a launcher. You have to be at least 100 feet apart. Nothing over two inches across! (The long way). The sound effects are hilarious. Clang! Clang! Thwop OWW

I know about those kind of rock fights and speaking of using a tennis racket as a weapon,we used to douse tennis balls in gasoline and smack them across the back yard, back and forth.We had rather large yards and you'd be amazed at how long 1 tennis ball would last and it was just great at night.It wasn't until we (eventually,of course) took our play out to the street that problems ensued. (Still LOL and I do respect Flammables/Fire now)

I had to have words with a bully who was picking on my youger brother years ago....Years later the bully thanked me- he had joined the Navy also. Nearly did mysewlf when I was 18.

Yeah but if my friend's parents hadn't lied for us, we would have been toast. Things are even worse these days. Teachers don't understand when I tell them my kids don't tattle, they hit back. My youngest, an 8 yr old girl, was getting soccer balls bounced off her head at recess. The teacher on yard duty was blissfully unaware of this, so her 15 yr old brother taught her how to fight. The next day she knocked this one boy to the ground. Teacher was still blissfully anaware, but no one bounces soccer balls off her head anymore :)

Basically, you have to stick up for the smaller kids.

Lol! Hey, take your time and spell out something cool. The salt burns the grass and the message just sticks right out :)

"natural masculinity must be tempered."
*Evil laugh*
That's what the bedroom is for!
Or have the lefties thoroughly and completely denied that connection between man and woman as well?
*slaps forehead*
Duh! What am I saying, of course they have!

[fortunecookie]

I can't stop laughing!! :-)

Sounds like someone needs some - more? - sensitivity training! (/sarcasm).

connection between man and woman ..

Eeewwww, that's gross, is that what breeders do? (more sarcasm w/ grin).

[Darksheare]

Well, yes.
And I'm told it can not only be pleasant, but fun as well.
*chuckle*
The left does so crack me up.
;-)

[Arkie2]

Two words. Spud cannon.

[fortunecookie]

And I'm told it can not only be pleasant, but fun as well.

Propagandist!

Hee hee.

[Arkie2]

Hit my sister in the head with a dirt clod once. The effect was astounding, like a bomb went off on her head! I got a thorough licking for it but it was worth it!

[Darksheare]

Ahh yes.
Another thing from miss-spent youth:
Tent pole, bottle rockets.
"Load and light 'em!"

[Savage Beast]

You're right.

Boys seem to have that motor sound ingrained in their DNA.

Boys and girls are equally wonderful. I have a son and a daughter. I know.

Anyone who thinks that a boy's--or a girl's--innate essence must be "tempered" is nuts.

Of course all children need guidance and education, but anyone who thinks that innate "male behavior"--or innate "female behavior" (note, this is why clitoridectomy is performed on children in some benighted Muslim countries)--must be "rooted out" is revealing her/his own psychological problems and not some universal "male problem"--or "female problem".

These people are bonkers.

[Darksheare]

It's tuh-Rue!
I am a propagandist!
*sobs heavily*
B-b-but it ISN'T that far from the truth!
*Blows nose*

And for 19.95 plus shipping and handling you can have my free motivational book about how to convince your mate of (almost) anything!

Then they threw the pencils and paper into a pile, and used the candles and matches to start a little bonfire.

,,, I hope these sensitivity trainers network with victim support. The sense of loss for other pencils will be monumental.

[savagesusie]

Exactly--by the way, I am partial to your name for some reason.

[colorado tanker]

Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls. It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world

The Kinks. :)
