Just going for equality here. Topics of choice include:

-your golf game
-chess
-fishing
-that old clunker you're fixing up
-Tom Clancy novels
-video games that girls wouldn't like

-anything else that's stereotypically male-oriented and absolutely boring to females.

What's not allowed:

-talking about your feelings
-talking about your genitals (unless it is in a LEWD and suggestive manner)
-talking about anything that might interest females

I'll start out.

"yeah, my golf game's going great. Shot a 72 last saturday"

"...I had to get my valve covers replaced and had to fix a crack in my manifold, but she's purring like a kitten now"

The ladies have been warned.

First off you spelled lewd differently than I did. We can fight about it if you'd like.

I have't golfed in a long time, but while the ball seems to go straight enough I think I have a distance problem. That's no fun.

I haven't played Halo in way too long, anyone in the vicinity of GA want to set up a LAN party?

I fixed the word. We can always count on hatrack to fix your grammar.

I'm going to play Command & Conquer now. There's a man's game if I ever played one.

I don't know, talking about your genitals ina lewd suggestive manner might actually be fairly interesting to some of the women of Hatrack.

The criteria there is conflicting.

You just stand there lookin' cute,
And when something moves, you shoot!"

Hm. Actually, I'd probably have a more fun discussion with you. Have you seen Pirates yet, Riv?

Talking about genitals is the only way to approximate them "ladies only" threads. Whether it's lewd or not I leave up to you.

And rivka: Tell me things about Peter Pan. (Actually, I really wonder if ol' Tom heard the rumors about J. M. Barrie and the Lewellyn Davies boys)

Been a long time since I went golfing, but I always got my money's worth out of it. I saw every square foot of that course.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go lift things for no reason and hang some dry wall.

Yeah, nothing so manly as home improvement. I just stripped all the old wallpaper and paint off my pantry walls. I spackled all the cracks and gouges in the plaster. When I get home I have to sand down all the spackled spots, then I get to prime and paint.

Oh, and I found the most fabulous faux texture wall treatment. It's called Bellaggio. You can tint it any color you want and it makes the walls look divine!

(Sorry, I can only keep the butch prentense up for so long. . . [Wink] )

What about grunting.

Men are good at grunting.

And we should discuss out spider-killing techniques. I prefer the stomp and scrape method myself.

Oh, and scratching. I have an itch right on my backside that can best be reached with a dinner fork. Of course, I don't use my dinner fork.

Who wants to come over for breakfast?

Ok, now that we've scared off the women, here are the secret rules of men.

We know that woman have some kind of conspiracy going. Its where they develop their codes, their secret signals, and their traps for us poor defenseless men. Hey, I even figured out where they hold their meetings--in the restroom. We can't enter, and they rarely enter alone.

Anyway, for the uninitiated, below are the secret rules that men know to be fact.

1) The comb over is the sexiest hair style. It drives women wild.

2)Size doesn't matter. Neither does skill. What matters is how well you lie about it afterword. If you say your great enough times, they'll believe you.

3) Cuddling hurts your golf game.

4) We know that drinking beer makes the women around you more beautiful, and your friends more noble and lovable. Obviously it must make you more hansome as well. Hence, the more disgustingly drunk you get, the more of a catch you become.

5) No matter what they say, bodily noises are funny.

Check it out-- if you're ever going fishing with young children, you can't do better than live crickets. The point isn't to land a big fish, because they couldn't reel it in anyway. The point is to give them lots of success in the short amount of time that they'll want to be out, on the bank, with the mosquitoes, rather than down in the water, splashing around.

Crickets, my brothers. Bluegill love 'em. They're easy to hook, cheap to buy or catch, relatively hardy, and very effective.

Oh, and can we talk about bowel movements? That's manly and gross and scares girls away, right? So you know how when you eat a bunch of spicy mexican food and drink too much beer late at night you wake up the next morning and ... um, nevermind.

Also, I think that the girls have their secret meetings right after they say "We're gonna talk about gross girly things like the 'M' word, so all you boys better leave now." Then we leave and they get to discuss the conspiracy.

Tom "Communist Body Bag Count" Clancy is one of th greatest HACK writers of all times, accused of hiring a ghost writer and his new works SUCK. They are unrealistic waste severl hundred pages leading up to the climax and the climax is always so prepositioned*?* that you always knwo whats going to happen.

Worst. Book. Series. Ever.

Yeah, Clancy sucks. Except for Hunt for Red October. Both the book and the movie were cool. But after that, Clancy went down the tubes quick.

I got through half of Clear and Present Danger once. Rather fun premise but rather difficult to get through, hence I only finished half.

The best part of Clear and Present Danger was the RPG ambush of the SUV convoy. The rest of the movie was pretty boring.

I thought the JSF was a good idea when it first came out, but I have doubts it will be executed properly so we can have a reasonably priced and effective fighter. Costs will probably be inflated until it's just another jet project.

For a second I thought "RPG ambush" referred to some kind of role-playing game. Anybody else think it was funny the first time they saw that used for "rocket-propelled grenade"?

50 years? Ehhh, the future is all RPVs or autonomous fighters anyway. The hardware has evolved past the limits of human G-tolerance, so RPVs or AI-control is the next step.
