quote o’ the day: there are three kinds of men

Will Rogers, yo!Stolen, again, from Archie’s Archive (or is that aerchie’s aerchive? I can’t do Latin on this keyboard, I don’t think Firefox supports it!).

There are three kinds of men:

  1. The ones that learn by reading.
  2. The few who learn by observation.
  3. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence.

~~Will Rogers

    I shall graciously refrain from comment, so all the blame for sexism is borne by poor old Will Rogers. Check the pic I added; wasn’t he a sexy bitch? Who knew?

    raincoa§ter, If a laptop, (Fn)(F11) then (alt) 0198 [on the numberpad] = Æ 0230 = æ

    n a n6r0a3 2eyb6ard – that is what happens if’n you forget to hit function F11 again

    On a normal keyboard I think it is just hold alt while you hit the number pad keys

    Oh god, that would take work! I’m far too hung over to do that today. Perhaps some other time.

    More man bashing Raincoaster ? You claim to have had a boyfriend at some point which raises only one question . Did you saute or pickle ?

    newmania, get over yourself. If you’re not a big enough man to take a joke, there’s even less to your manhood than I thought. That was Will Rogers I was quoting, you know.

    I had no idea there was any question of any of it being serious ! Coasty coasty , I was only kidding and I `m sorry if I said the wrong thing. As far as any boyfriends of yours are concerned; they have quite obviously won the lottery of life.

    newmania, perhaps you’d be the better for putting yourself in the position of the female. Looks like somebody could sure use a period.

    I cannot take your pain but console yourself with the dreary rock chick songs you `ll extract from it .

    Does somebody need a hug today?

    Words fail me. But at certain times of the month it’s understandable: we all get a little snippy and defensive then. There there, it’s not as if you’re the first man it’s ever happened to. Take a couple of Midol and clutch a hot water bottle to your keyboard and you’ll be fine.

    You think I`m a beeatch on heat do you Coasty .Good for you ! . I didn’t like to say, but it was toe-curlingly embarrassing when you went all vulnerable about your ex . Keep it breezy ,that’s the spirit .
    Lets have another quiz!!!

    When did I go all vulnerable about my ex? Maybe you’d better lay off that Midol. Rent yourself a Sandra Bullock romcom and stay in with some ice cream instead.

    oh the tragedy of brave little chanteuse with her smudged eyes and “Je ne regret rien!“

    Brave brave Coasty . Ice cream .. yes ,good for you…

    (snifff I can`t bear it)

    Scroll back R I mention boyfriend and you go barmy . Simple

    Actually R that is all getting a bit dull . Can`t see your latest posts I `m afraid . Which is odd

    newmania, you’re making even less sense than usual. I never dated Will Rogers.

    BTW why am I in your bad books R I said ……..
    . ……………As far as any boyfriends of yours are concerned; they have quite obviously won the lottery of life.
    The intellectual and sensory delights of this paradisal state would take a Blake to describe . ………………………

    That is called a compliment . Last Newmania sighting of “praise” was aged six when I was pretty good as the second shepherd in the school nativity . Incidentally I believe this was the same year as the great irony plague of Western Canada . Three confirmed sightings in a six month period . They are still laughing it up

    It’s because you’re so relentlessly annoying, really. Flattery from you is rather like a big bowl of fried cockroaches with butterscotch syrup on top.

    It was insincere flattery obviously but if I were you I`d take what you get R.Mendicants don`t usually complain about the style of sauce on their free sandwich

    Sweetheart, what hallucinogenic substance have you been smoking? When have I EVER trawled you for compliments? Spare me.
