Manly Men

[Bloodsoul]

Seriously, I remember reading "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" a long time ago and found it silly.

I know a rat creature who eats quiche. <_<

I'm also reminded me of a shirt being sold at girlyyy.com (great comic). Perhaps if he wore that while at JoAnn's he'd feel better about himself?

Anyone have "Men In Tights" running through their heads now?

Yep- since I read the thread title- and it's clashing muchly with what I'm actually listing to. And now it will be stuck in my head all night at work too.

Am I the only one who has the theme from Two and a Half Men stuck in my head because of this thread.

Personally, I find a man that can sew and cook sexy! Also, it means he can take care of himself. (I have a friend who refuses to learn how too cook/sew/clean/iron because "When I get married, I'll have my wife do it!" It makes me want to put his manparts in a Cuisinart.)

[Evil Queen]

Oh good, I'm not the only one thinking:

"We're Men! Manly Men! We're men in Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiights! We run around the forest looking for fights!"

How is quiche not manly? I don't get it.

In the 70s or 80s there was a book called Real Men Don't Eat Quiche which poked fun at manly and macho stereotypes.

My parents started teaching us (me, my brother and sister) how to cook, sew, etc. before we hit our teens, for two reasons:

-you'll have to learn it one day
-if you do it I can have some relaxation time

At first, my fiance was amazed that I do my own ironing.

Anybody got a problem with that, just let me get my foam LARP sword and I'll teach him a thing or three. three points at a time.

And consider how many of us here have actual swords....

*goes to surf Recipeource.com for a good recipe. Methinks it'll make a good dinner for next week.

If you don't have a copy, I suggest that you get Julia Child's, "Julia's Kitchen Wisdom". It's got the basics that you can build everything else off of....including the formula for quiche!

"Any quiche can be made with either heavy or light cream or with milk. The proportions always are 1 egg in a measuring cup plus milk or cream the the 1/2 cup level; 2 eggs and milk or cream up to the 1 cup level; 3eggs and milk or cream to the 1-1/2 cup level; and so forth."

Oh good, I'm not the only one thinking:

"We're Men! Manly Men! We're men in Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiights! We run around the forest looking for fights!"

"We're butch!"

I don't have that or 2-1/2 Men. I'm remembering some comedian years ago talking about a bunch of guys doing things and saying, "Yes, they were manly men doing manly things."

A Cuisinart is too nice to befoul like that. A cheapy Proctor-Silex food processor will do just fine.

Manly men go to coworkers' retirement parties even if they are the only male there.

Yeah, I did that. Last night. Didn't care one bit even though I was being teased about it by all kinds ladeez.

Yea, but I wouldn't want to really hurt someone.... I'm a pacifist, and only LARP people who are violent.

So far, I've always been able to find recipes online. Who needs to buy books?

"Any quiche can be made with either heavy or light cream or with milk. The proportions always are 1 egg in a measuring cup plus milk or cream the the 1/2 cup level; 2 eggs and milk or cream up to the 1 cup level; 3eggs and milk or cream to the 1-1/2 cup level; and so forth."

This sounds good though...

Someone needs an attitude-adjusting appointment with my uncle the truck driver.




Seriously. This man drives a big rig on long haul routes. He likes to hunt antelope in his spare time with a bow and breaks horses as a hobby. He's huge and strong and pretty scary looking in a hillbilly kind of way.

This is the same guy who goes into the Joann's in Billings every few months cause his family lives way out in rural Montana. His wife gives him a list and he goes shopping, for fabric, thread, ribbons, etc. In fact a few years back he went in and picked up yards and yards of pink and white satin and fancy ribbon for his daughter's prom dress, and I assure you, no one would ever accuse him of not being manly enough. In fact if anyone ever implied his Joann's trips impugned his manhood, they'd probably end up with semi tire tracks on their back.

God forbid guys like this would ever have to pick up feminine hygiene products for their wives or daughters. The horror!

As someone else has wisely said (I think it was on this board, actually!), he has no problem doing that because that means he HAS a woman! lol

I don't get what the deal is with that. Would you rather she bleed all over the place? At least that way you wouldn't have the embarrassment of other people seeing you buy those things!

There seems to be something similar with condoms... the first time I bought some, the cashier didn't deactivate the security tag and it set off the alarm. The cashier said that condoms are among the most commonly stolen items because people are too embarrassed to buy them.
