Okay, so I’ll admit it. I was flipping through the channels the other day and noticed that He’s Just Not that Interested in You was coming on. In awareness that this is a full-on chick flick, I pulled up the guide and told it to record.
…couldn’t actually watch it without my wife present after all… there are limits…
I watched it. I enjoyed it. In fact, I really enjoyed it. If it wasn’t for the whole douchebag cheater, dense wife, Scarlett Jo triangle, I’d have even called it great. I think it’s only right that I hand in my man card, and may God have mercy on my soul…
wait, wait, wait…. you had a Man Card? I didn’t know they gave those out in boxes of Cracker Jacks, I had to *earn* mine. 😀
I believe I was given my first man card when I had to rebuild the engine in my Chevy Citation with my dad over spring break. I was given a lifetime renewal when I was struck by lightning, shook it off, and went in to work my evening shift.
Banished you are. Manliness is calling the lightening down on yourself (generally via some hair brained idea like trying to install your home made lightening rod on your workshop during the storm). Only women get hit by lightening walking or biking in the rain. And sadly, rebuilding a Chevy might have gotten you by, but mentioning that it was a Citation only nets you derisive jeers and further calls for branding to ensure lifetime banishment (which doesn’t mean you can’t watch Lifetime anymore, quite the opposite really)…
Knocking the citation, eh? I seem to recall someone owning and driving a Yugo…
That was only after the Pontiac Aster wagon with simulated wood grain on one side, different color panels everywhere else, a driver side door that wouldn’t open, and a hole in the floor board that let in all the carbon monoxide from the exhaust leak finally died. And Yugos were cool…they were being given away free with purchase of a new Cadillac… Like the Citation, rebuilding the Aster (and probably the Yugo but it was sadly squished by a Buick) was merely a matter of removing the dead squirrel and putting in a fresh one…
Don’t forget to brand him so that he can never get his man card back.
There are myriad feats of manliness yet to be managed. Surely one chick flick isn’t cause for a lifetime ban?!?
