Dude, what would cause you to make a derogatory remark about me in a thread where I was not posting? That is a cheap shot on either side of the Pacific...regardless of whether it was a weak shot or not. Perhaps "cheap shot" better describes it than personal attack.

I seem to remember that Rudyard Kipling had some thoughts on this subject.

Vic - Flint does make an appropriate agruement.

Prehaps we should add to the list:

Show others respect and consideration for their opinions unless they are messed up to where they would hurt kids, animals, family or show blatent disregard for 911's.

Dudes relax - Flinstone: Sorry for rattling your cage.

You did call me a "Liberal" once though......

Fair enough. If so, I apologize. Calling you liberal is certainly a low blow.

Oh, and it is fintstone.

Blowing one's nose....I'll use tissue or two thanks. But I've seen some who think it's manly to use their finger to close one nostril and blow through the other. Real nice.

Oh, Congratulations, Toby.

Few things in life are as vulgar as the "snot rocket". Yuck.

I got another one: competency and versatility. A man should be competent enough to do a variety of tasks, and converse intelligently about a variety of topics. Few things annoy me more than someone who looks a task and gives the, "I don't do that" look.

Once again brother Moses says it all in a few words. I want to be him when I grow up.

a real man doesnt need a list to measure or validate his good qualities. he just knows, and doesnt worry if others notice or not.

targa911S 08-15-2005 11:33 AM

Well said Vash.

vash 08-15-2005 11:39 AM
