Hey burbing is not just a male thing. My wife burbs with the best of them. However, she only does it in front of me. I think women are just shy about letting themselves free in public. *scratches armpit, gorilla-like* :D

Exactly...men are more comfortable and intune with nature!:D

[RobinHood3000]

Ok,you've almost got it but you need to extend so you can recite the entire alpahabet during the burpAnd if you really wanna bust people's buttons, in Greek. :cool:

[dramasnot6]

How about burped Bard? Some might think it insulting, but i think the ol' genius would have appreciated it. He did have an abundance of crude humor in his works, why not heighten the laughs?

[Pendragon]

hey, I said *pretending to be a guy again*, NOT pretending to be a gentlemanRighto. Three genders there, mate. Men, women, and (either-gender) guys. For example, take the following scenario: A man, a woman, and a guy are atop the world's highest dam. The man will look around and perhaps wonder how much concrete it took to build this dam and how much electricity it produces. The woman will marvel at the view, but perhaps wonder if it was worth flooding the land behind the dam. The guy with try to see how far he can take a whiz off of the dam. Some of you are nodding and some are thinking old Uncle Pen has bats in his belfry. Read Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys. It explains the phenomenon. :lol:

Farting is fun!

good plan ;)

[RobinHood3000]

~sidles up to Shann, flamethrower at the ready...~

[Virgil]

Enough of farting. Now for another manly endeavor. It's time to take out the garbage. Of course it's the men who are obligated to do that.

http://www.gnb.ca/0009/0372/0003/images/3.gif

Why is that the man of the household has to take out the garbage?

[dramasnot6]

I'm the one who takes the garbage out at my house! But both my parents work late so i guess it's either me or Hunter. oh, woe is me to be the one to have opposable thumbs!

[mir]

my mom does it in my house. :) then again the gender roles are sort of mixed up in our house - my mom has the bigger job!

[kilted exile]

Why is that the man of the household has to take out the garbage?

Because otherwise we will be forced to listen to complaints about broken nails:p

[Pendragon]

Why is that the man of the household has to take out the garbage?

Because I didn't get married to sleep on the couch! :lol:

[Shannanigan]

~sidles up to Shann, flamethrower at the ready...~

Ooooh, fireworks, sounds romantic ;)



Why is that the man of the household has to take out the garbage?

Hmmm...well, at my boyfriend's house he takes out the trash because he has the pick-up truck to drive it to the garbage bins (we don't have curbside garbage collection on island...cuz we don't have curbs :lol:). I often help him though to dump it...

[Nightshade]

It tends to be the last perosn who filled it empties it in our house usally that means me my mum or the oldest of my younger sisters.

[grace86]

yeah right, get the guys in my house to take out the garbage?! Actually, you can occasionally find my dad doing the dishes...now there is something I really hate doing.

[Stanislaw]

garbage eh...its me...If I don't bag it an' toss it my self...my family bags it and places it outside the backdoor for me to take...its just how things work.

[B-Mental]

pirates always hate garbage

[TEND]

Ah, garbage....The curb seems so much farther when it's -30 outside :cold: .

[Virgil]

Oh no. I've just read an article that has shattered my macho side. Men putting on face cream. Ee-gads!! :eek: :eek: Here guys, read for yourself:


Not long ago, men who put cream on their faces would be called names; now they sit in the bar exchanging beauty tips

By MIKE STROBEL

"What the heck is that?" says the other side of the bed.

She is peering at my neck.

What? What?! Holy cow, what?

"I think it's a wattle."

"A what?

"A wattle."And she goes back to reading a book with a pirate on the cover. The pirate is shirtless. And wattle-less.

Women can be so cruel when you are 50.

So I dream of roosters and wattles and wrinkles and wake up in a cold sweat only to read that some dame is on Mick Jagger's case, too.

Sir Mick, 63 and prune-like, has taken to caviar face cream to counter all those years of depravity.

L'Wren Scott, his girlfriend, is said to be delighted. Lucky for Mick. L'Wren, 39, is a 6-foot-4 Mormon with hard eyes.

Bandmate Keith Richards, 62, has been given a gift of the protein-rich cream. And a trowel, I hope.

Then I read where Consumer Reports says even the best anti-aging creams reduce the depth of wrinkles by less than 10%, barely noticeable.

The $20 creams work as well (or as poorly) as $400 creams.

What's a wrinkly wretch to do?

When in doubt, I always turn to jowly Jimmy Buffett.

And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been" UNKNOWN_ENTITY_¦

Or where the sun don't shine.

Some folks swear by Preparation H to shrink wrinkles.

The Canadian version is especially popular, even in the States, since it also contains a yeast extract to soothe skin.

My ***. Why bother?

Why are we men dragged into the whole Nivea nightmare?

Why has the men's lotions and potions industry doubled in the past decade?

Why is men's cosmetic surgery outpacing women's?

Why are "gentle exfoliants" for women re-emerging as "face scrubs" for men?

Vanity, thy name is man?

Forget it, boys.

'NOT A FACELIFT PERSON'

Let's worship the ground Robert Redford ambles upon.

Watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, then take a gander at him now. Wattles to his knees and women still swoon.

"I'm not a facelift person," he tells TV Guide. "I am what I am.

"The trade-off is that something of your soul in your face goes away. You end up looking body-snatched.

"That's just my view. It's not necessarily a popular view."

No, sad to say. And, ahem, let's not mention that miraculous blonde mane.

While we're at it, look at Butch, look at Paul Newman. Crinkly as rice paper, yet hot as a pistol at 81.

Or Gordon Pinsent. That dimple has disappeared in his chin, yet there he is starring in a new movie with Julie Christie, the sexiest woman who ever lived.

Nor have wrinkles hurt Gordon Lightfoot or Neil Young, Sean Connery or Donald Sutherland,

So why the pressure on us regular jowly joes?

"Ageism," says Dave Lackie, editor of Cosmetics Magazine.

"Men who look younger, more vibrant are getting the leg up for promotions over men who look older.

"And we're starting to see objectification of men in advertising. Men with that six-pack look."

Hey, I have a six-pack. Where my stomach should be.

"Not that kind. I mean well-defined abs."

And there's the Baby Boom, now in its gnarly years.

"From the neck down they're 60, but from the neck up they see themselves as 30. Then they look in the mirror."

This tragedy strikes later for men. Our thicker, oilier, hairier skin protects us for a while.

Lackie, 39, is a La Roche-Posay cream man, but he says a good sunscreen is your best ticket to the fountain of youth.

Smoking, drinking, stress, eating too much, pollution, squinting, dust and many other things turn you into a raisin.

Life, in other words.

"There is much to be said for aging gracefully," says Lackie.

You can get a facelift or botox, but that requires upkeep and you might look like Phyllis Diller.

Earthier remedies include emu oil, egg whites, seedless grapes and crushed pearls.

Or, try this: Never, ever smile.

Your face will stay smooth as a baby's bum.

Of course, you will have no friends, to bask in your glow.

What's a wattle or two, just among us chickens?

Well, if theres one thing guys can do well, it's pick-up lines! Anyways I just had to share my Christmas shopping cheer. I left the store laughing at myself. Anyways, I walked into the movie store, and the girl at the front greeted me and smiled, than I went and started looking at some movies, and she came over and asked if I needed help, and I always the gentleman calmly stated I could use her telephone number. We both laughed :lol: and I capped off a terrible day with a happy ending :D .

I assume that means she gave it to you. :thumbs_up That is great. Now that still means you should be a gentleman on a date as well. :)

[dramasnot6]

Congrats TEND! :D You should give her a tour of your wonderful music collection:brow:

[mir]

best pickup lines ever:

pirate pick-up: do you keep your pirate here (put hand on person's closest shoulder) or HERE (put arm around person to other shoulder)

and . . . the other one i'm not saying on the forum. :lol: (it's not that bad. i'm just naiive/ very :blush:! :) )

but great job, TEND!! hee hee, have fun! :p

Wow. TEND sure knows a lot of pick-up lines, that actually work!
Congrats on that one, TEND.

This one I saw on tv yesterday:

Guy: Are your eyes hurting you?
Girl: (confused) No, why?
Guy: Because your eyes are killing me!

do you get curb crawlers?

on a different note: do you guys (and I mean the guys, not the girls) put on cologne/perfume (whatever the stuff men us is called) and which do you use?

I like sniffing perfumes at the drug store (yeah, I know it's a sad hobby), but I don't like most of the women's perfumes because they smell too sweet and tacky.
I sometimes put on "Escada Sentiment pour homme". It's for guys but it could be unisex and my bf says it doesn't smell as typically 'male' as most other perfumes for men.
yeah, I know it's diky but I really don't like any womens perfumes except Mexx and the pour femme Sentiment doesn't smell a single bit like the pour homme
http://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/87921/200.jpg

[Nightshade]

ooh I know what you mean its like the Hugo Boss is soo much nicer than the hugo women. ( its just too flowery.)

[dramasnot6]

ive never been able to bring myself to buy perfume. With regular showering and deoderant i dont see the point...

[AimusSage]

I use cologne, not every day mind you! :D I've a few different ones actually, and put on whichever fits my mood/activity for the day. :)

[Nightshade]

really??
well I suppose nice smelling cologne is better than sweaty ichy smelling people.....:idea:*thinks of the advert and the forum crush thread* dont tell me you wear lynx:rolleyes: :p

[AimusSage]

Nope, I use another deodorant to deal with the sweaty smellyness. Lynx (or AXE) is ewww icky ewww. The eau de toillete is just an extra fragrance. I have a Hugo Boss, Armani and Lacoste eau de toillete. :)

[Virgil]

do you get curb crawlers?

On an average day, I just use after shave lotion. But if it's a special event or a special night out, I will use cologne.

I have somethng as a gift which I don't recall what, but I don't buy anything special. I buy this:

http://fcsurplus.ca/wild/images/670118.jpg

But then I don't have to impress someone as particular as Sleepywitch. :D

[dramasnot6]

When my dog rolls around in...."dirt" in the park, i say she has put on her Ode de Merde. This too has put me off perfume.

[Nightshade]

Huh My dad used to use old spice when I was little.... :nod: I tried mixing all his differat colougnes and my mums and after shave and water mouth wash tothe paste and shampoo once then I added water and froze it .... I was 6 and thought I was inventing the greatest perfume in the world... didnt work though

:rolleyes: :lol:

[Pendragon]

Old English, Old Spice, and Brute are my favorites, but I usually get the cheap store knock-offs of brand names. http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/verschiedene/h050.gif Oh, and these are here: http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php?wahl=0&ziel=froehlich english translator in upper right corner, and three types of smiles!

[Nightshade]

I have that link its really good:nod:.... but pen can you go look at the Brain teaser and see if we are right???

[Pendragon]

Yup, can do. http://1000smilies.com/muslim.gif

[SleepyWitch]

But then I don't have to impress someone as particular as Sleepywitch. :D

hehe, who said I'm particular? ;)


Aimus, I'm glad to learn you call it AXE up there, too. I've always wondered why it's called LYNX in England. Isn't a lynx a cat with pointy ears? Why would anyone like to smell like that?

[Pendragon]

Yep! A lynx: http://www.eparks.org/images/lynx-nps-isle-royal.jpg
I was always close to all big cats, even as a kid, and once was nicknamed "Wildcat" for my fighting style. Strangely, when I drew the cat, it was always a cougar: http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pictures/cougar.jpg. This is my spirit guide. :)

[SleepyWitch]

i like all kinds of (big) cats, too, Pen... but would you really like to smell like one? I mean, in general, cats are very clean.. but then, when you go to the zoo there's this sign where the tigers live: "Caution, animals spray urine." :sick:

on the other foot, AXE (what we call it) doesn't sound too trustworthy in English either :)
we also call "Sure" Rexona.

hum, I'll go to the drugstore at the weekend and sniff Uncle Pen's and Uncle Virgil's nice avuncular "old men's" colognes :p

[Stanislaw]

I would respond "No, pick up lines like that are whats gonna get you killed.":lol:

heh pickup lines here is one that never fails...
"hey baby, those must be moon pants, cause your butt is outta this world!"
...to get ye slapped. :D

but for cologne, I use this aftershave thing.

[dramasnot6]

:lol: Definite slap-worthy pick-up line Stanislaw. Im hoping youve never actually used that one :p

[Virgil]

Some terrible pick up lines. As bad as Stan's. I hope no one throws a chair at me. *ducks*


Damn, if being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged!

Is your name Summer? 'Cause you are as hot as hell.

Screw me if I'm wrong, but I could swear you were Julia Roberts.

The word of the day is "legs." Let's say we head back to your place and spread the word.

Hey I'm looking for treasure, Can I look around your chest?

[mir]

*chair*

:D okay, that first one - you should use that. By the time they figure it out, you'll have run away.

also - and i did not make this up, somebody at my geek camp did, and it's for a guy - :blush:

want to see the exponential growth of my natural log?

no i did not just say that. :blush:

[SleepyWitch]

hehe, these pick up lines are hilarious :)
do people actually use them? in what situations? at parties or something?
I must admit I'm such a sad person I've never been in a situation where people try to pick up random strangers...

[Virgil]

I have never used them. I think the one's I've listed are too far from reality. They're jokes. But there are pick up lines; I just never was any good at that.

[dramasnot6]

Yep! A lynx: http://www.eparks.org/images/lynx-nps-isle-royal.jpg

Aww theyre so cute! I love big cats, they are all just so beautiful and graceful despite their size. Thanks for the heartwarming pics Pen. :)

The pick-up line most likely to result in you slapped/being covered in drink:

"What do I do for a living? I inspect access holes, you know I could check yours for you if you like"

[Nightshade]

Good Lord! :eek2: Feeling a fit coming on.... actually I had a pickup line used on me once and it tottaly sailed over my head needless to say I made I right specticul of myself trying to help this person and didnt realise why he was bent double with laughter till 10 minutes later...:rolleyes:

me walking home from school
car of teenage boys pulls up beside me and a boy winds down his window and says " Can you tell me if youve seen a beautiful girl?"

( there is a name Helwah which means sweet/beautiful)
I dont realise whats going on and say" No, sorry havent seen her today, I think she is ill."
que thier laughter my baffled expression and finally the question " Are you a foriegner?."

[Pendragon]

Dear Lord, this is embarassing! :blush: You see, I'm a small-town guy, and it's not that we don't have prostitutes, but they are not really out front about it. They have their clients, and meeting places away from the main area, and I am Naive as all heck. Well, I'm coming back from Arkansas from a preaching engagment in several churches, and I stop on the outskirts of Nashsville for gas. I have a nice suit on, and I go in to pay for the gas, go to the Loo, and get something to eat. This rather attractive black girl in tight pants asks me "Sir, are you looking?" My brilliant reply? "For what?" She asked again and raised an eyebrow, and I still don't get what's going on. She smiled, shakes her head, and says "Guess not." It's when she's walking off that it dawns on me. :blush: What a doofus!

[Nightshade]

:lol: thats precious Pen.:nod: :lol:

[Misscaroline]

Pen, you're so adorably sweet! I wouldn't have gotten if I were you either... It's not as if you were looking...:blush:

[OZEED]

I've been away for a bit, its been really hectic at the office. So we're talking pick up lines....
Hmmm...
I once went up to a very attractive girl at a friends birthday dinner party and said(two glasses of red wine in hand)
"number one,I could use a really cheesy pick up line, along the lines of heaven must be missing an angel, or number two I could offer you this drink(hands over glass of red) and tell you I think you look ravishing in this black dress."
with that, I turned and walked away. Adding my name and that I hoped she would enjoy her drink.

By the end of the evening we had exchange numbers.

[RobinHood3000]

I switched seats in class to sit next to someone I'd never really met before. I think she likes me now.

[Virgil]

Robin is turning into a lover boy. First french kissing, now he's hitting on every girl in the class. :p

[Pendragon]

Aye, he is young and the red blood runs hot in his veins! http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/liebe/a049.gif

[kilted exile]

In my defence I only used that line once, and I was very drunk at the time. A word to the wise: Even if she takes you up on the offer, it is not a good idea.

[Stanislaw]

:lol: Definite slap-worthy pick-up line Stanislaw. Im hoping youve never actually used that one :p

You know it!:D but it was more a joke!:D


The pick-up line most likely to result in you slapped/being covered in drink:

"What do I do for a living? I inspect access holes, you know I could check yours for you if you like"

nice!

[Misscaroline]

From what I hear, Robin, you're quite smitten yourself! :blush:

And here's a pick-up line I got "wind" of yesterday, since it happened yesterday...:

~guy bumps into girl's left breast "accidentally"- she objects~

Sorry, I wanted to touch your heart...

[kathycf]

"You must be tired, you've been running through my mind all day."

"Do you have a map? I just keep on getting lost in your eyes."

"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together"

Very very cheezy lines....

Someone called me a fox and I didn't realize they actually meant me until about 3 weeks later *oblivious* :lol:

[Shalot]

*chair*


want to see the exponential growth of my natural log?



are you serious??? I've heard someone refer to a natural log but I thought he was referring to a morning dump. :lol: goodness!

[Shannanigan]

I'm not even going to touch this topic with some of the smut that has reached my ears in local bars :P

It's so unattractive when a guy tries to pick you up, and you say "Oh, sorry, I have a boyfriend," and he says something like, "Well, he doesn't need to know..." Yich! Now, the guys who say "Oh, okay. Well, tell him he's a lucky guy," and walk away...THOSE are the ones I suddenly want to go chasing after :lol:

[kathycf]

The ones who make me giggle are the guys who get all mad when a woman turns them down and insist it must be because she is a lesbian. Maybe some of the ladies they hit on are, but some guys have an over inflated view of their "charms".

[SleepyWitch]

The ones who make me giggle are the guys who get all mad when a woman turns them down and insist it must be because she is a lesbian. Maybe some of the ladies they hit on are, but some guys have an over inflated view of their "charms".

hahah, my first boy friend was a bit like that (nope I did not turn him down). whenever we went to a bar and there were two ladies at another table talking to each other he'd go "psst,psst, lesbians" and i'd be like "what the hell? has it occured to you that they could be friends?". in his little world, all women were lesbians for some reason. He was convinced that all my female friends were hot on me and kept calling them my "admirers" :confused:

there was also a very butch girl in my class who thought all the other girls in her sports team had a crush on her and all the single girls in our class were lesbians and had a crush on her, too. She did get quite a lot of attention from the other girls but that was because she was a leader and she bullied everybody and threatened to find out their dirty little secrets
according to her, everyone was a lesbian and she was the only straight girl in the world. Well, she bragged about her nights with a massage guy. The other girls had real boyfriends... :???: :sick:

[Madhuri]

I wish I knew some pick up line to post..:(

[Nightshade]

Last night I walked down a road to pick Koa ( with another friend) and Im walking down the road and I get whats it called when people (usually men sterotypically truck drivers and builders) yell somthing as you walk by? Anyway it happens , and we get 'complimented' in arabic accompanied by sniggers becasue they didnt realise I understood them, and for the first time ever I had a comeback just when I needed it :D:banana: I mean I always hate it but its especially annoying when they think you dont understand them.

[Pendragon]

Keeping in mind that this is the dear lady I've been married to for 27 years, here was my brilliant pick-up line. We had been best-friends for years. We would tell each other things we wouldn't tell the people we dated. I walked with her one morning before school up to the top of the stairs, and I said, "You know, Mart, there's this girl I've being wanting to ask out, but I can't get the nerve." She gave me a look. "That's not like you. You should never be afraid of anything." I glanced away, and looked back. "Then I'm asking." She said "And I accept." That was almost 28 years ago. Corny? Yeah. But it worked fine! :)

[Madhuri]

Pen, there are not men like you these days. I simply admire your dedication, love and commitment to your family. :thumbs_up

"That's not like you. You should never be afraid of anything." I glanced away, and looked back. "Then I'm asking." She said "And I accept." That was almost 28 years ago. Corny? Yeah. But it worked fine! :)

Awww Pen...that is unbelievably sweet. You two are very lucky to have eachother:)

[Misscaroline]

Pen, I only aspire to one day have such a love as precious! It's inspiring, really...

[Koa]

Pick-up lines? Thankfully I hardly ever get any, but when I do they are the most awful things one could imagine :lol: From the guys in Hungary who try to conquer you telling you about a certain fact in the history of they're country, to a guy I know now whom I met when we were at a trip around the city, just by the stadium, so he started the conversation with a comment about football... romantic isn't it ;)

[dramasnot6]

Aww poor Koa. I hope one day you find a guy with wonderful, clever pick-up lines worthy of you. Some horrible, juvenile boy in my class last year tried "What would you say if i asked you out?" on me and i told him, as politely as i could, that if he gained the confidence to ask me directly he might get a better answer. Not that i would agree in either case but its good to spread constructive criticism where you can :p

[SleepyWitch]

heheh, when I was in school I somehow managed to ward off unwelcome admirers just by scowling permanently :) no one ever tried a pick up line on me :) which doesn't mean I didn't have admirers, but they were my nerdy friends, not just any old class mate I didn't really know.

[thevintagepiper]

Nope, I use another deodorant to deal with the sweaty smellyness. Lynx (or AXE) is ewww icky ewww. The eau de toillete is just an extra fragrance. I have a Hugo Boss, Armani and Lacoste eau de toillete. :)

*sigh* I love it when guys wear AXE. It smells nice. Especially in the youth group van when half of them don't wear deodorant;:sick: you need something to cover it up somewhat :p

[Pendragon]

Piper, you don't do your share of "tackling" when you smell AXE, do you? To see some of the commercials for AXE and TAG a man could risk serious injury wearing them! ;)

[AimusSage]

Piper, you don't do your share of "tackling" when you smell AXE, do you? To see some of the commercials for AXE and TAG a man could risk serious injury wearing them! ;)
See, that's exactly the reason why I don't use AXE. :p It's bloody dangerous!

and I prefer a deodorant that isn't so strong it overshadows my expensive cologne. :D

Yes, I'm very scent conscious. :lol: I can't stand smelly people, and not using deodorant should be a crime. a 100 euro fine would be good.

[Nightshade]

onlyy a 100? I thi9nk a million minumum :nod:

[Idril]

Oh! I've gotten a lot of great pick up lines in the past but I think my favorite, and by that I mean the most hilarious was, back in my wild, bar hopping, chain smoking days, I had a guy tell me he just wanted to stand by our table and "watch me make love to my cigarette". :lol: My friend and I laughed so hard, I think my friend may have even showered the poor guy with her beer. :lol: :lol:

[RobinHood3000]

Well, I'm sure that shower did wonders for his aroma! :lol:

[TEND]

Keeping in mind that this is the dear lady I've been married to for 27 years, here was my brilliant pick-up line. We had been best-friends for years. We would tell each other things we wouldn't tell the people we dated. I walked with her one morning before school up to the top of the stairs, and I said, "You know, Mart, there's this girl I've being wanting to ask out, but I can't get the nerve." She gave me a look.

Pen that is not a pick up line. That's too romantic. That's asking a girl for a date. Pick up lines are are rather greasy. It's people looking for one night stands.

Aw, thanks all of you... http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/e050.gif You must remember, I said I was naive. Not that I hadn't dated, I went with my former girlfriend two years, everyone thought we would marry. Mart and I dated 11 months. We had been best friends for many years. It's the old case of a man and woman overlooking the obvious while looking for love in all the wrong places... http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/liebe/d065.gif

Hey, nice to see you back Ozeed. We need you to give us a good kick in our less than manly behinds to prop up our masculinity. :D

[Shannanigan]

I was wondering if we were ever going to see you boys again...

[RobinHood3000]

A toast, indeed!! And if we're lucky, some preserves (Strawberry? Raspberry?) to go with it!!

[Idril]

Are raspberry preserves manly?

[kathycf]

Extremely manly. I think it is boysenberry jam that is a little effeminate, and let's not even get started with the whole marmalade issue.

[B-Mental]

Yes, raspberry preserves are manly...There is an initiation where men are forced to smear the preserves over their body and then spend the night in bear infested woods. Very Macho.

[shinigami]

... macho/??? Um.. on a dare at camp... my ex smeared some strawberry jam on his leg and didn't use the blanket... I saw him and I have this innate motherly sense to blanket anyone I see... but I didn't notice the jam so... sticky blanket... well.. it was like 10 degrees ther at Baguio at that time... what choice did I have??/

[Nightshade]

:lol: well rasberry jam is good...I dont like blueberry though who wants somthing THAT sweet in the morning :sick:
but I like my orange curd best :nod:

[Pendragon]

Strawberry, if yuh don mind, suh. An' I'll have tea. Earl Grey, hot, mind. http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/figuren/d060.gif

[Virgil]

Are raspberry preserves manly?
It all depends on how you eat it, the technique for spreading it on the toast and shoving it in your mouth. And then speaking with your mouth full and chewing it like a big ball of bubble gum. Almost anything can be manly. :D

hm...i dont really like jam or jelly...too messy...

It depends on wether or not it has the "bits" in it.

"bits" = manly

well fish that are still alive and jumping around you kitchen for and hour and still flickering after 2 when you have a house full of under 5s is slighty fresher I think :p

[Stanislaw]

...and that's as fresh as it gets!! :p

:D well...If it still had the bear hair...than we could say fresher. :D

night...fishes eh? crazy!:D

Have you ever cooked fresh eel...if its fresh, after you kill it and skin and drop it in the pan...it crawls out...its kinda unerving to see deboned (so to speak) and headless eels crawling out of a pan...it has a tendancy to make your gf scream uncontrollably. :D :D

[dramasnot6]

Perhaps we ought to create a new stereotype of masculinity as the Literary Eel Chef who participates in jam-related pagan rituals. I could so see that in a movie....

Hey I dont blame her that would make me scream or throw up, somthing else that is a bit unevring is when you go fishing and catch is it a baracuda? rows and rows of sharp tea you get them in warm water like the med , the red and the Arabian gulf, quite tasty.
But when your 7 and you catch opne and it thn proceeds to eat throw 6 plastic bags in a hour, that makes you scream.

wow...did ye catch that by harpoon underwater or by hook an' line?

[shinigami]

my gosh.. that is SOooo inhumane.. I'm sorry if this offends but I'm an animal lover... that picture makes me squeemish :sick: ... Sharks are caught in nets, then they cut the sharksfin off and the animal dies... out of the water, finless and bleeding to death. How could anyone eat something that died like that??? I love IMITATION abalone and IMITATION sharksfin and IMITATION scallpos.. which are cheaper and purely vegetarian...

Fish however, taste great grilled... especially Bangus or Milkfish which is also freat steamed but you have to steam fish with ginger to remove that muddy smell...

[AimusSage]

I always hunt and fish for my food...



...in the supermarket. :D



If they had a shark basin where I could get fresh shark, I would definitely try it :nod: But alas, they don't.

[Nightshade]

a hook and line; you can see the rope we used as line in the picture, and a head of another, smaller shark that had gotten caught on a higher hook...we found the body of the smaller shark in the bigger shark's stomach...apparently they eat other sharks if in distress.

I understand your concern and apologize for causing discomfort...but do realize that most animals that humans eat are killed in a similar manner, as severing the main artery in a shark's tail fin (which is how we killed this shark) allows for a fairly quick death. It's almost the same as beheading livestock or the fish that you say you love grilled...

[SleepyWitch]

hey guys (including girls), let's do something stupid and manly :)
let's take cold showers for a couple of weeks and see who lasts longest. You can use some hot water to wash your hair, but appart from that you're only allowed to take cold showers (no, you can not have a hot bath, either!).

1 week= lukewarm lurker
2 weeks= snowflake in June
3 weeks= slush (= the litnet guys :D )
4 weeks= icicle
5 weeks (+) = polar bear cubs (= Sleepy and the girls!!!!:lol: )

girls back me up!!! (Scher, drama, I'm sure it saves energy and helps protect the environment, not to mention the health benefits)
start tommorrow, Jan 12?

[Nightshade]

huuuh I hate cold showers , I am so hot my feet turn lobster re kind of person but maybe Ill join in...

[SleepyWitch]

yeah please join night :)
you'll need a cold shower now and then anyway, seeing as you've perfected your arsonist skills ;)

[Nightshade]

:p
well actually they did say that steam from hot showers will set off the fire alarms in this place...and I really really dont want that again...

[SleepyWitch]

ah good old England :) how I miss those flimsy rickety slum houses :D

when i was in Cornwall last summer, we had to get up at 3 a.m. one night because a bug sat down (up? since it's on the ceiling) next to the fire alarm

[Nightshade]

:eek2: really?! well this isnt a slum at all but they are so afraid of fires they have smoke detectors, heat detectores, and some other kind of fire alarm thing.

[Madhuri]

I can try...:nod:

But I know i'll be so late for everything then :) I'll stand and look at the running water thinking should I enter or not :p :rolleyes: It requires a lot of courage. :D

Can I not just touch some cold water and say I have had a cold shower? :p

[SleepyWitch]

nope Maddy that doesn't count, I'm afraid.
it's not too bad actually... once the first minute is over it's great

[Madhuri]

Okay, i'll try from tomorrow...:thumbs_up

[SleepyWitch]

cool :) so it's two of us. :) let's wait what the guys say :)
maybe we should offer them some raspberry jam as a prize coz otherwise they'll be too sissy to join :D ?

[RobinHood3000]

Hunting one's own food is at least an improvement on eating food from the slaughterhouse. At least then, you're acknowledging that something died to feed you.

ADDED: Shann!! What are you doing to your poor boyfriend!?! :eek2:

[AimusSage]

I'll just jump in the water behind my house instead of taking cold showers, besides, it always rain here, so in a way, I have a cold shower everyday it rains. :p

[Nightshade]

yuck :sick:

[AimusSage]

yuck :sick:
Well, I don't mind the rain much, it's the stormy weather that goes with it that blows me away. :D

[Nightshade]

its not the rain I was objecting to, it was the showering in puddles that have been sitting on the floor.

[AimusSage]

Puddles????? It's a huge river mind you, I've been told its quite nice in the summer :)

[Nightshade]

river???how nice is this the new place then??

[AimusSage]

Quite, quite nice, well, actually it isn't the river, there is a little water in between, and some houses, but all in all, it's quite nice

[SleepyWitch]

in other words, you're trying to wiggle your way out of the challenge? :)

[AimusSage]

No, I am quite honest about not wanting to take part in the challenge, I'm far to fond of my hot showers. :p

[Madhuri]

We girls are really brave, Sleepy :D

:lol:

Well I must admit IM not too sure about cold showers but Ill try it ...right after I have a VERY hot bath tonight, then again Im not to keen on standing under pouring water more thant the minum required time anyway...I have this childish and totally irrational fantasy/fear of my thought getting washed away. And yet I cant go 2 days without washing my hair nowadays. :rolleyes:

[AimusSage]

Only once every two days?????? :eek2:

I usually wash my hair twice a day, and can't possibly imagine doing it less than once a day.

[Nightshade]

yes well noone sees my hair, and every 2 days is every other day and you wash you too much you increse the likly hood of attractiong lice which frankly isnt that bad when you have short hair...although it must be a real pig with hair your colour, its no joke with long hair and 50 million non washable headscarfs that all must be washed so no thanks Id rather not have squeaky clean hair.

[kathycf]

It is too much hassle to wash long hair everyday anyway. My ends are so dry and my hair gets too frizzy. Actually, hair that has a little bit of oil in it is easier to style as well. All you ever (or never) wanted to know about hair washing. Gosh, am I really posting this in the guys only thread? Men, um...grunt and take that very chilly shower while following this hair care advice. Then have some raspberry jam with bits. ;)

Wash every day: Fine, thin hair and most short styles. Fine hair tends to become flat and greasy-looking if left unwashed for too long, thanks to the natural oils from the scalp. Short hair can become greasy quickly, too. Pick a gentle shampoo and follow with a light conditioner -- sometimes called a detangler -- with every shower.

Wash two to three times a week: Long, thick and/or curly hair. These hair types tend to become dry easily, especially at the ends. That's because the scalp's natural, moisturizing oils have a long way to travel to get to the ends, and are often washed away before reaching them. By skipping a day in between shampoos, these natural oils have more opportunity to lubricate and condition the hair. On your off days, simply style hair dry, or rinse with warm water, condition, then dry and style as usual. Choose a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

Wash one to two times a week: Very dry, kinky, African-American, and/or chemically processed hair. Hair like this is either naturally very porous, and therefore very dry; or has been severely damaged by perming solutions, straighteners, or colorings. These hair types benefit from as little washing as possible, plus heavy conditioning packs every week. Look for a shampoo formulated for chemically processed or African-American hair, which will be more moisturizing and gentler than regular shampoos. Follow with a thick conditioner

It's incredibly hot here, so i can probably take the cold shower challenge for a couple weeks. Probably much more unfair for all those in winter now....

[Idril]

I have long hair and I couldn't imagine not washing it every day but it's relatively fine so that gives me an excuse. ;)

[the Last 13]

hey guys (including girls), let's do something stupid and manly :)
let's take cold showers for a couple of weeks and see who lasts longest. You can use some hot water to wash your hair, but appart from that you're only allowed to take cold showers (no, you can not have a hot bath, either!).

1 week= lukewarm lurker
2 weeks= snowflake in June
3 weeks= slush (= the litnet guys :D )
4 weeks= icicle
5 weeks (+) = polar bear cubs (= Sleepy and the girls!!!!:lol: )

girls back me up!!! (Scher, drama, I'm sure it saves energy and helps protect the environment, not to mention the health benefits)
start tommorrow, Jan 12?

I'm new to the thread...but I've read enough of the history to be interested... as a gentleman I accept the challenge.....should any of us make it to 5 weeks do we continue until everyone else is out...or continue onto 6 weeks....general ground rules should be established......as 'you' set the challenge...you should lay down the rules.....and everyoe be honest here...on their honor as gentlemen....

I love cold showers, they're so invigorating. Take one after you work out, or at the end of your morning shower turn the water from hot to extreme cold. That will wake you up. I heard it actually helps with circulation of blood through the body, and does other stuff as well.

[SleepyWitch]

Hey, I am in! I shower with nearly cold water anyway... It is good for ya!

:D

see, I knew I could count on my girls (and old ladies :D )

it's winter here, drama:cold: I had my first cold shower this morning. You never saw me out of the bathroom so fast :) but it really woke me up. I only had 4 hours of sleep last night but I feel great.


I heard it actually helps with circulation of blood through the body, and does other stuff as well.
yep, I've heard that too. That's one more reason why our old geezers ought to take part (no, I'm not glaring at anyone in particular :p )
I love cold showers too (not necessarily in winter, but I'll get used to it)

aw, poor Nighty. you'll get used to it, though.
when I was in Mongolia, we had to bath in rivers because we camped out. the first and warmest river was 12°C and the girls complained a lot. But by the end of our trip, we bathed in a 6°C cold river and they didn't even notice! splashed around and took double hairwashs! the prof's assistant came to measure the water temperature and was really surprised to find all the girls in this river

[Nightshade]

Yes well I started off on the lowest setting and that was TOO much so I was on the highest of the cold settings maybe tomorrow Ill go down a level.

[SleepyWitch]

i did the lowest level, but i jumped right out of the shower after i'd washed off the shower gel :)
I'll try to do a bit longer tomorrow
(my shower's the type with two thingies... dials? knobs? thingies, one for cold and one for hot water, so i turned the cold on on all the way and left the hot one off).

[Madhuri]

It did seem to me as a punishment, but I liked the idea of having a cold bath in winters. :D

You dont plan to make your students go through this if you ever get angry...:p

[SleepyWitch]

hmmmmm, now that's an interesting idea Maddie :)
sadly, we're not alllowed to punish our students :(
hm, I think my next holliday should be at a boot camp :)

hey its not so good if you are the elected student rep because then its YOUR responsibility to deal with disruption in class ect etc because the staff arent allowed to. BUt I swear if the boys behind me start whistling again in the Data tech lectures Im going to put my tounge and foul temper to good use an if I cant shame them into shutting up one way Ill just hit them :flare:. There are people in that class who pay over 8,000 pounds sterling to have those lectures and it just isnt fair to make them usless.

I completely sympathize Night! My private school, which is completely inferior in terms of everything compared to the public school i went to my whole life ironically, costs a pretty penny but everyone wastes their time! If the boys in my classes spent half the time they make sexual jokes in class listening the world would be a wiser place.

ADDED: Shann!! What are you doing to your poor boyfriend!! :eek2:

Boy did I jump to the wrong conclusion after reading the first part of that sentence. :lol:

Many people do ;)

I, for one, HAD to take cold showers for 3 MONTHS when we first moved here and were living with my grandparents. My grandparents live in an old house and are VERY conservative with water and electricity...so they don't have a water heater :bawling: So THEY take cold showers every single day of their lives, lol....

and I, well, I took cold showers again when I first moved into my dorm and couldn't figure out how to turn on the hot water :lol: But now I've figured it out. I might just take on this challenge, though I may have already blown it by taking a hot shower this morning :(

[brainstrain]

Yikes! I love the cold, but feel no need to sacrafice my hot showers for...um...enlightenment? Nirvana? Or just the thrill of not using a unneccesary convienence?

Or maybe to save electricity? I'll stick to following my Dad and turning off everything he doesn't for now (which is everything. Lights, Music, TV, Oven >_< he's rather forgetful).

But maybe in the summer, when the unrelenting heat and humidity has me grouchy beyond reason, I'll start taking cold showers =P

Why in heaven's name should anyone want to take cold showers? I can see if one is forced to. This past summer we were sharing a beach house for a few days with seven or eight other people, and there wasn't enough hot water for everyone. We let the children and ladies get first dibs and I wound up with a cold :sick: shower every day. So when you have to, you have to. But if you don't have to, what is to be gained?

[Nightshade]

But maybe in the summer, when the unrelenting heat and humidity has me grouchy beyond reason, I'll start taking cold showers =P
Oh no that the worst thing to do, esspecially if youve got heat rash, stick to warm water not boiling hot but the cold water just makes the heat so much worseplus I found it made heat rash burn like ..... and ocassionaly for some wierd reason go really nasty.

Warning: if you know nothing about psychology, you will misinterpret this as a crass statement.

Um, no. As difficult as it may seem to believe to some men, (some, not all) given that their penis is their pride and joy, but lots of women don't actually have penis envy. Can you say "antiquated notion" three times fast? :p ;)

why are you all taking cold showers?
when i went to russia, i caught during my first two weeks the weeks when they cut hot water - yeah only cold, they do it in summer to clean the pipes or something like that. It wasn't too bad at first, but it got harder and harder, it was august but sometimes the air was fresh... and after two weeks we were all confessing each other that we really didnt want to wash ourselves :lol: The most painful part is the back.
When I was in Ukraine that lasted only one week :)

[SleepyWitch]

hey Last,
well let's say you just stick to your usual showering routine. so if you normally take a shower everyday, take a could shower every day instead. if it's every other day, then stick with that.
you only need to stay in as long as it takes you to wash.

i think Nick Rubashov said he'd give it a try, too. so it's two guys and loads of girls :)

[kathycf]

as I wasn't around when either began I'll take your word for it.......

Nothing. I was making a joke. Mostly at AimusSage's expense. Sorry. So we are still on with the cold showers? Do you folks mind if I sit back and maybe take a sauna instead? I will gladly throw anyone who requests it a warm towel...I take cold showers in July, not January. :D :lol:

Umm, first I know that you ladies talk a good game, but I'm gonna call you on your BS. I don't believe any of you will make it past one cold shower, unless you had no other way of cleaning yourself. You really are just blastng the guys, when you pretend to take cold showers. When I lived in the mountains, the bathroom wouldn't heat up. The warm shower in cold air is almost as bad as the cold shower. Also, I took cold showers for most of 3 years in the military. I've had my cold showers, and living in a frigid place I'll continue to take hot showers. Good luck typing about the cold showers you aren't really taking.

[Scheherazade]

You really are just blastng the guys, when you pretend to take cold showers. Hey, I resent this!

I regularly shower with almost cold water (our shower has a setting of 10, on which I use 2-3 whereas the others in the household prefer 8/7) so turning it another notch down is not an issue for me at all.

Admittedly, I have been doing this for medical reasons for the past 20 years but the fact still remains that I have no problem with it.

Its the fourth day today, and I must admit I miss the warmth of hot showers, but I have another 3 days to go. I can do it...:nod: Its only 3 more days...:)

The side effects arent pleasing either, I have running nose for about an hour or so after I take the shower...:rolleyes:

i heard only men were becoming extinct, but somehow humanity would survive... i can't see how this is supposed to work, though
some incects or thingies can reproduce by giving birth to clones of themselves.. like the young will be an exact genetic copy of the mother. i think the theory i read about says women will develop this ability
