It's about time we got a man in office!

Finally, someone to stick up for male equality!

Now if we can just figure out a way to make babies without women, we'll be all set to duck the reins of female oppression!

It's only a phase. Soon everyone will discover what women already know: men do not belong in the home, but in the office!

You want homes all for yourselves!

It's a simple fact of genetics, Mcduffies. Women are just better at these things than men, and the sooner you guys realize this, the happier you'll be. Now go put on a tie and bring home that bacon!

You know...I almost never see homeless women. Like the guy who was supposed to be selling papers by the off-ramp, but was instead taking a crap in the high grass up by the interstate...

I see homeless women all the time in chicago.

They must look enough like the mountain women here that I overlooked them when I was there last year...

Pfft. Male equality! What next? Boys can't work with children. They have no emotions, they'd make a crying child run a touchdown. You men should stick with things you're good at- cars, sports, the stock exchange.

Now be a good man and stink up my bathroom while I cook a scrumptious meal, and no more talk of this "PTA" nonsense. *pats on butt and sends away.*

Cars........................................................fail.

Sports......................................................fail.

Stock Exchange................no money, so.....fail.

I hate cars, sports and the stock exchange. I'm good at holding grudges and hating people for extended periods of time though.

And these are the skills that will make you an excellent PTA member.

At least from what I've seen they are.

I dunno, don't I have to at least like huge SUVs? That's a car. Sort of.

Noise Monkey · Post by **Noise Monkey** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 7:40 am

there's also the mini-van. hardly a manly ride. ....actually, in spite of its promoted image as a tough vehicle, the SUV is really just the modern version of the mini-van, which was the updated version of the station wagon....which I suppose replace the horse and buggy...I really can't say.

I never really understood how SUVs replaced minivans. Sure they're hugse and roomy, but they have the same number of seats that a regular car has. Minivans have the capacity to carry more people. I guess it's all about image and status, yo. Who cares if it eats gas and you can't park it anywhere. Back in the "day," they were off road vehicles, but you couldn't take most of these new ones on a trail.

I used to have a sports car.

TheSuburbanLetdown · Post by **TheSuburbanLetdown** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 8:04 am

I drive a Volvo called the Keff-Mobile.
