#1 The Modern Man is an insufferably smug wimp

#4 Personally, I'm a 20th century man. I don't understand the 21st century, and I don't like it.

#5 Urban capons. Will last about the same five minutes that feminism will survive after the asteroid hits or Yellowstone blows.

#6 Sounds like the modern (liberal) man is a goddamn fucking whip that needs everything explained to him and is terrified of actually living like a person because it might offend someone and he'll get yelled at.

Fuck off NY Times. Better yet, cry in front of a hungry tiger.

#7 Great in-line Fred.

Filter monster keeps snagging me.

Olde Fashioned swksvolFF knows where his food comes from, and the cuts. The filet mignon (cough) has so little fat bacon is wrapped around it. If there is any charring, it is the bacon which is easily unwrapped from the cut.

Fillet is a generic term for a cut of boneless meat. That he? mentions specifically steak, tells me he meant mignon. No restaurant of Modern Man would serve food so poorly cooked, so he must not have the balls or brains to tell his wife and teach her how.

#8 Car is short for carriage, short for horseless carriage. That's twice Modern Man but perhaps not a gauche simpleton, as he says, as all the words Wu Tang uses. (rap, early 90s if Modern Man was trendy enough waaayy back then).

swks's wife got to choose which side of the bed she wanted, and chose the close side on account of being with child and all post-child events like bad cold, first night in a bed. She says it also gives her a better shot angle. I think her idea is to get that entrance bad guy before he moves from the tile onto the carpet. She also likes the time it buys me to upgrade from my handgun.

I have never heard someone define their ego around a very common kitchen utensil. I have three different sizes of melon ballers, or ice cream scoopers, or meatball shapers, whatever. Oh, does swksvolFF have a framing hammer? Do those 3.5" nails drive themselves? That is dull. Tell me you can use a paella pan to full effect and I'm listening.

I cry heavy and often. Usually it is fire related particulates. I have paper towels sponsored by Kingsford.

I believe the followers of Modern Man's best hope is parthenogenesis. Via tria est via tuta.
