Saturday began badly. Off the red-eye from New York, I took to my bed at 9am planning a three-hour kip. At around 11am I was awoken by a bestial choral scream from next door. I later calculated that this must have been the moment Jonny Wilkinson converted or tried or did whatever he did to win the rugby World Cup.

,,, pal, if you kip thru the Rugby World Cup, chances are you got off the brown-eye from New York.

Tripe like this makes me want to get in touch with my inner meat cleaver.

I WAS A WIMP. But I’m metrosexual now. My reinvention — or, in marketing terms, my repositioning — happened only last weekend and I’m telling everyone about it.

Andrew, You're WEAK!!!!!!

“1: 21st-century male trendsetter.

Nope. I follow my own path and don't worry about trends.

2: straight, urban man with a heightened aesthetic sense.

Straight man, but not urban, and as for a heightened aesthetic sense, maybe. I either like what I see or I don't.

3: man who spends time and money on appearance and shopping.

W(hy)TF would I want to spend extra time shopping? I don't go shopping unless I have to. Exceptions are made at the electronics and gun stores.

4: man willing to embrace his feminine side.”

No thanks.

“The ideal body image is natural, lean and trim.

Most 'metros' aren't lean. They are stickboys.

“Don’t be an asshole” .

But it's fun. :)

I always thought metrosexuality was like what Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay did on the el in "Risky Business"

[mtg]

I have an Ennio Morricone album. But it's The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I hope that doesn't make me a metrosexual. Sounds like a metrosexual is more like a bi-sexual than anything else.

Just a few observations:

Since I have no interest in sport, take no pleasure in getting drunk and believe patriotism to be dangerous idiocy, familiar feelings of alienation from my sex began to crowd in.

It's no wonder. His "sex" could easily be classified as "non-existent".

You need to know Leonardo was a Renaissance artist, that Van Gogh was an Expressionist and that modern art looks weird not because it’s rubbish but because it’s new.

Sorry. Modern art looks weird because it's rubbish.

15 ALBUMS YOU SHOULD OWN

Well, none out of 15 isn't bad, is it?

[shrug] I qualify for about half of the collective lists. So does that make me bi-metro?

Feh...

(...he said with all the grace of a bull in a china shop...)

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
