I'll try again...

"I'm a big supporter of the arts... before I got married, I used to visit our local dance theater quite regularly."

Yes, Tonto, but cruzin' for chicks in leotards isn't exactly what I was referring to!

[RangerHobbit]

I knew things had gone to hell when a University of Arizona professor in another web forum told us of the baby he and his wife just had, and of his remorse that he couldn't lactate too in order to take some of the breast-feeding burden off of his wife.

[sauropod]

Oh man! Not another Metrosexual thread!

Okay okay...BUT I will be cutting the hair not Mr. Faaaaaabulous in the latest $200 salon. I don't know. There's something unnerving about seeing a man getting his nails done.

[ctlpdad]

my next "supercuts" is free!!

[Centurion2000]

I was thinking of writing a book about this, the working title is "It all started with Alan Alda."

Don't forget John Ritter helping to usher in the era of the Confused Male.

[Publius]

Careful wid all the loose talk about the violin case. How you think I collect all those boxes a' zitti? You wanna get indicted for accessory after the fac'.

Fuhgeddaboudit!.

[Tax-chick]

LOL! Just raising our own private army, like the Hatfields.

"Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them! He shall not be put to shame when he confronts his enemies in the gate."

[Pyro7480]

Love the tagline!

[cryptical]

I just had a haircut last night. Sat down in the chair at Great Clips, told the lady it's a #6 clipper on the sides and back, and trim on the top, part on the right.

$9.00 with a coupon, but I don't get any "product".

And what's this about massage parlors?

Bill, they really get a massage at these places. No kidding, sometimes from other guys!

[Publius]

I'm just two more away from the free Supercut.

[Pyro7480]

You sound like my friend who is half Cuban and half Greek. She loved the winter months, since she could slack a bit with the hair on her legs. Otherwise, she has to shave daily.

[Revolting cat!]

Metrosexual? Finally a esplanation! Sounds more like a metrohomo. Or as my dear friend of a long ago (before it's become acceptable to have homosexual friends, and before it was unacceptable) a drag queen by night, would say: 'Miz Thing'! Or Miz Do! (I'm not sure about the difference!) By the way, what's 'jamming the gaydar'?

[TheBigB]

Ritter is absolved due to his cameo on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Alan Alda is still a wuss and always will be. And Phil Donahue.

[Conservative4Ever]

Hopefully this will be the end of grunge...but I weep cause I can't believe Cary Grant needed all this hype. Thanks Publius in restoring my faith in men who like being men, and not afraid to enjoy the finer things life has to offer, and can accomplish it without a fanfare.

There are times when a line is so good that you just clutch up when you consider all the possible answers...

[johnb838]

Italians maybe (wouldn't want to ruin those nice clothes with b.o. and perspiration, now would they). They're certainly not talking about the french or the eurofag germans.
