Thank you, Blib.... That means a lot that you understand. gina got my head so turned around with all that talk about baseball and "The Twilight Zone" that I was momentarily insane.

I think I found an "out". Our thread bylaws state (in the small-print section): Rule 7A, Section D: Any show of true emotions, brought about by, but not limited to, movies of an emotional manner, may result in the banishment of any member, whether it be a full-fledged or honorary status.

Uh oh... ever see Finding Neverland? I guess I better pack my bags

Hold on JG, there has to be more to that rule because there is no way Field of Dreams is kicking me out of this thread.

...any movie starring Meryl Streep?

Hey give me a bowl of pinto beans and I can fart with the best of them. So bring on the gas it won't make me leave. Remember I'm married to a hillbilly.

OK, you guys are all a bunch of panic-stricken wusses. I can't believe it. Wave a scented candle at you, and you run around like chickens without their heads, eating spicy foods, and trying to work up some gas.

And, just to make you feel more like this is still the Guys Thread, I just saw some Beach Volleyball chick being interviewed about Beijing. She was wearing a VERY tiny bikini, as was the rest of the team, and there was a LOT of jumping around on the sand.

Not so fast, Geoff. You may be safe. A further review of our thread's bylaws shows: Rule 12B, Section F, Subsection 3: An occasional "stray" to one's Feminine Side is quite possible (allowing for stress, alcohol abuse or temporary insanity) and this, in and of itself, should not necessarily be grounds for banishment. The offending member may redeem himself by farting the first stanza of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and then chugging a quart of brew.

Damn.... Mig may have us on a technicality.

Whoa, what happened here?! The emotions are really running wild......and what's funny is the guys are the ones getting most emotional, right SB?

OMG, with Johnny Depp? He's soooo cute.
Oh, oops. Wrong thread.

I am not a backstabber!! Momentarily insane, SC? (In the words of Plaw, from one of his best guilt trips:) That's like a knife to my heart...

All I ever wanted was to bring the guys and gals together in peace and harmony. I never had any evil intentions.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

She's doing it again! Ignore her guys!

I would die for you guys in defence of this thread.

Ignore my little sister?? Just TRY it and see what happens. First you give her honorary membership, then you tease her, and then you try to gas her out.

(stops and takes a whiff of lavender scented candle)

I think what they're saying is, they want the women, but not with what comes along with (some of) them... And certainly not talking about anyone here, right fellas?

Take a whiff of this, baby....

This from the man who never passes up an opportunity to use the word "penis" in a post...

Edit: SC, is that a picture of you trying to light your barbecue on the 4th?

No, silly girl. That's Geoff after drinking a quart of Stoli with a can of beans.

Pork n Beans!!!

Btw, watching the Yankee game right now, and the usually hilarious Cialis ad just came on. My favorite part - "If you have an erection lasting more than four hours..."

(hoping that erections are acceptable Guys Thread chatter)

I was playing nice! Sheesh, nothin' impresses chicks any more?

My Cabana Boy is nothing if not impressive.

I was definitely wondering when the regulars around here were gonna invite you ladies over.

But if we're gonna do this it's gotta be in the traditional (albeit, generally unspoken ) manner...We'll call you guys when we're drunk and you can come over and watch us play Tiger Wood's golf on X-Box, we'll give each other back rubs, and then after a time it generally follows that (hopefully) at least one of you will stay over. But of course, you have to be out early the next morning before anyone wakes up to avoid any morning-after awkwardness. Did I forget anything? I think that's rather standard etiquette when broaching a situation such as this one.

Gee, don't forget that you'd like us to also run a wash and maybe whip you up a casserole before we leave.

Sweet!

You have no idea...

When was Geoffy on a Navy Ship?

Back rubs, Babe. Back rubs.

(You COULD go by the cleaners, ja?)

That ain't happening!!!!!

I was talking about those other guys, Mig. We would NEVER expect that...

I would never want to subjugate our female friends to serving us guys as one of the (self described) irregular members has suggested. I find it demeaning to their feistyness, good humor and importance in my life.

Sure, if the subject comes up.
