-Anybody who confuses "your" with "you're". -Dog-walkers whose eyes never leave their dog, but as soon as Scruffy goes into that squatting position-- my my, how interesting the clouds are. And then they don't pick it up, they pretend not to have see…

Rule number six is something to always remember. Rule number six is, of course, "Don't take yourself too seriously."

If gay men got their own bunks, I believe that many soldiers would pretend to be gay to get private rooms, too, adding to the inefficiency.

Get up at the same hour every day. Maybe even weekends. You'll find yourself waking up a few minutes before your buzzer every morning. It takes a lot of willpower, but try to get your feet on the ground next to your bed within ten seconds of waking…

The lack of playground scuffles sits next to the lack of pick-up neighbourhood sports. Back in the 50s, a mother could let her eight-year-old boy out of the house and not worry about where he was or where he was going; she knew he would come back fo…

Hah, "soap operas for men." Your dad has a great view on things. Anyways, I say let them all fight, even the women. I know some pretty tough ladies that I would rather have on a battlefield by my side than most men. As for the homosexuals, though,…

I was a kid like that, too. I ultimately grew out of it, but I think what helped me most was long, backcountry skiing trips. The first one I did with my dad was only seven kilometres from the parking lot to the cabin, but I cried through the last tw…

I used to have a good pair of Gore-Tex boots, but having lost them, I'm at a loss for what to get to replace them. Those Wolverines look mighty nice.

It's funny you say you enjoy sports games, because they're the only ones I've really not enjoyed. Video games, to me, are an escape, and sports games have always gone against that. If I want to play football, I'll call up a couple of friends and pla…

For the longest time, I had the unkempt, long "Lion's Mane" cut. In more recent times, I have it short and use hair wax at the front to hold it up in varying positions (parted, all straight up, etc.).

One of the most manly quotes I can think of off the top of my head comes from a French philosopher named Voltaire goes something like this: Je ne suis pas d'accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai jusqu'à la mort pour que vous ayez le droi…

Eric replied to Shaun Daws's discussion 'Group Motto' in the group Philosophers
Stercus Accidit is always a fun one, too. I doubt we're trying to be funny, though. I would suggest searching Wikiquote for a good one.

Although I agree with you, I doubt you have much experience with firearms. It is very difficult, if nigh impossible, to have a shot go where you want it all the time, especially in high-tension situations when the adrenaline's flowing through your a…

I think there is a huge difference between beating someone and killing them. A beating, they are still alive, perhaps a month is spent in hospital, but they get to continue existing. They will usually learn a lesson. Their family does not feel sad b…

I believe that the threat of violence is almost more powerful than violence itself. As Leo said, there's the very few times when it's necessary to break an arm. However, pinning someone in an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous (for them) positi…
