    Forrest: Momma always says there's an awful lot you could tell about a person by their shoes. Where they're going. Where they've been. I've worn lots of shoes.

    And let's face it, Silas, as functional as it may be, there's just nothing attractive about your hammer
    I can't help but think of the scene in Romancing the Stone, where the lady is having trouble walking (in her stilettos,) so the guy pushes her over, yanks the shoes off and hacks off the heels with his machete. Priceless!

    Who said anything about needing an attractive hammer?!?!? I don't know about yall, but my hammer is a chick magnet. There was this one time, where the lady contractor noticed my hammer. . .

    I saw that movie. It was a riot and that scene is classic!

    I saw that in a Nick Nolte movie, too. He played Lucky and man, women really went wild over his hammer. He had a very nice hammer and cool tool belt as well.

    Darn! Here I am thinking I'm being original!

    Bien, I think you're right. I'm going to arrange a death match here soon.

    Don't worry Skib, my stilletto heel will go easy on your flimsy old hammer!
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Actually, your shoe is named after a weapon, and since all weapons were invented by men (except for psychological weapons, which were invented by women), it's a manly thing.

    I'm pretty sure women wear stiletto shoes to impress men rather than for comfort.

    And just to get back onto more manly things, here's a fish.

    This is a hapuku, to give it it's NZ name, better known overseas as a grouper.

    Delicious, white, meaty steaks - cook 'em in tinfoil, seasoned with lemon & herbs.

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    Hey Fellas!

    Can't you see what's happening? The women have invaded this thread and have got us talking about stilleto heels, soon it will be lipstick and hair dyes until eventually thay have taken the Bloke's thread over. Would it not be be better if we warned them off with a " No girls allowed" addition to the thread's title? Of course we want to talk about women, among other things, but do we want to put up with them talking?

    Hello Blokes,

    Just wanted to post a couple of things here. The first image (below) is of my fish mount (a 4lb brook trout), which is in my pine-paneled reading room.




    Beauty isn't she? She fell for the oldest trick in the book: a worm on a hook.

    So long, I'm off to smoke a cigar.

    That's what I've been saying - we come in here to escape them

    I think we should be ok now - Scheherazade's got them sorted out.
