Sadly, I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. I'm really looking forward to a complete discussion and dissection of the nuances of "The Secret of Holiday Island" as soon as you guys are done reading it!

Does anyone else find it "interesting" that our last two Democrat presidents were raised in predominantly women-only households? Much has been said and speculated about their character (or lack of). A correlation? Reading the article, which states the decline of the man in marriage began with the industrial revolution, I sincerely doubt it's limited to the last 4 presidents, nor to a party line. Nor do I think that trying to align politics with masculinity is conducive to the purpose of the thread.

Looks like it's only ten cents used, for some reason.

Great thread idea HHH.
Don't feel too bad about the lack of broad based participation. I am sure there are many lurkers. Thise of us lacking in masculinity may not have much to contribute, but we are the ones most in need of the content others provide.
When you can see it coming, duck!

Thise of us lacking in masculinity may not have much to contribute, but we are the ones most in need of the content others provide. I'm not too worried. Besides lurkers, there are some who are embroiled in more immediate troubles. I put a call out on the SAA board and, low and behold, a few others come aboard. There has been quite a smattering of reading presented already, some who show up are going to be doing some catch-up. Thanks for popping in, Hold.

Oh Holy hell my aching eyeballs, what did I walk into here? I thought this was a No Gurlz club? Kind of feel like I walked into the Lady's Room by mistake. Will go back and check the sign on the door real quick...

How about if we bring sandwiches?

How do you guys have time to read between working on cars and being in the gym?
And if anyone wants hair removal...you need Nair Speed Cream for Men (yes, it's specified as for men). That is unless you neandrathals and your women like all that crazy, ugly back hair.

There's the root of the problem right there. You shouldn't need a chilton - we are men - we do not need instructions!

I had to google what a Chilton guide was. And then all the flashbacks of using it to work on cars came back to me. Thank God my brother in law is a mechanic and Chilton doesn't have to visit anymore.

Ok, triple H, a thread about men for men and by men.
Here's an issue near to my heart. How many of you are tired of commercials that portray men as idiots, with or without a woman or girl to either show them straight or comment on how stupid men are?
A copy of the email I just sent taco bell media relations:
I�m pretty tired of commercials that portray men as idiots, and your recent commercial with the idiot screaming �I won� is one of the most vapid on television. Don�t know who does your marketing research, but men buy more taco bell products than women, portraying them as [censored] is not comedy and is NOT going to sell product.
I will be urging all of my friends and family to boycott your product until you remove this offensive commercial.
The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.

I was watching Olivia with my daughter the other day. The Dad went grocery shopping and had no idea what to buy for meals. And then he forgot a kid at the store.
It wasn't until recently that I really started to notice how idiotic they make men look on TV. I just wish I was smart enough to know how to change the channel so I wouldn't have to watch the drivel.
