    We sent a Privately financed rocket to space with a car on it yesterday, yet we sit on an internet forum, talking about men getting manicures. Let that sink in for a second…Not picking on Grouse in the least bit, just thought it was funny timing. Crazy how far along things are coming in the social, political, economic and technological fields. Some for good, some for worse…

    Out of curiosity…
    In their shoe discussion did anyone bring up wading boots? I’m in the market for a new pair. Have had some in the past of poor quality so some good info would be great.

    You’re not helping.

    Plus everyone knows that Orvis boots have a low heel that makes your butt look saggy. I mean like have you ever seen Rootski in waders? #streamsidefashionfoul

    Have you visited the Weinbrenner Bootique? They have a cruelty free vegan boot with a high heel that’s like a butt lift in a box.

    Haven’t thought about heels but studded is preferred (tasteful level of bedazzlement of course).

    Well, the cynic in me would say they sent an unmanned rocket to space because they couldn’t find any real men like John Glenn or Jim Lovell to man it.

    Look, this is partially tongue in cheek, but I do worry that we’re developing an unhealthy fixation on self-pleasure these days and becoming a self-indulgent society of me, me, me. That’ll only go one way.

    When the #1 cause of death for people between the age of 20 and 50 became opioid overdoses it seems like we’ve got some real issues with self control. It is rapidly approaching the point where if you draw up a list of 20 friends/acquaintances, at lest one of them will currently be an addict.

    I don’t really think the end is near. If Koivu scores in 2 games in a row, I reserve the right to reconsider. I’d rather we didn’t flirt with the end or even the beginning of the end without doing something about it.

    Of coarse not. Everyone knows that when Al Gore invented the internet and posted about climate change, it must be true! doah

    The end has to be near. I am sitting here in the Fresno airport, delayed due to flight cancellations, flights that were to take me from CA to Dallas back home to Wisconsin. Cancelled because there is a snow storm happening later today. How does that cause my flights to be cancelled at 0600 this morning, in a place it isn’t snowing, with the airplane and crew sitting right here in front of me? The world has turned into a bunch of pansies just as stated earlier.
    Surely the reschedule flights I have been put on can’t possibly get me home after it does or doesn’t start snowing at my final destination.

    – So back in the day, it would have been a bunch of sports talk the day after the Superbowl. Instead, these 5 guys went on and on about where the best places were to get manicures in major cities. No, I am ABSOLUTELY not kidding. Five guys, average age of say 52, all with grown kids, talked about having their nails done.

    But wait there’s more. Just as I was about to black out from the sheer lack of manliness, it got worse. The subject changed to shoe shopping. No. Freaking, really. 5 guys talking about where to go for totally awesome shoe shopping.

    Are you sure that “manicures” and “shoe shopping” were not euphemisms for massage parlors with happy endings?

    I didn’t want to be the one to tell you this, but beige waders… not maximizing the figure-flattering factor on you. Totally NOT in your coloration too. Try the new waderjeggings! Figure flattering like for sure.

    You’re totally rockin’ that awesome chin curtain, though. Keep ‘er oiled up on every salon visit, you don’t want to go all “naughty dry flyaway beard that won’t behave”. What salon do you take that baby to for weekly maintenance?

    I don’t know… One guy has an unhealthy self-pleasure fixation on fishing and guns, the other guy likes manis and pedis. I’m OK with that. I don’t feel like we ought to look down on the mani-pedi guys any more than they should look down on us. We (and they) should at least have the decency to make fun out of earshot and not interfere. )

    Also, for Sharon, great post earlier!

    ” What salon do you take that baby to for weekly maintenance?”

    I take care of it at home. WD-40 on a daily basis, and for special occasions Hoppe’s #9.

    The Real Man is not dead after all!

    Please don’t tell me it was your manicurist that suggested Hoppes #9.

    Nobody ever sat down to a dinner that was the product of a good day of mani-peddis and shoe shopping.

    Ya I agree Grouse, sometimes a guy hears about stuff that makes your skin crawl or stomach turn, but that’s them and not me. Finger nails are to be trimmed with a very sharp hunting or fillet knife, not sitting in a chair being done by a woman who may be doubting your masculinity and wondering why your really in the shop, damn! Fingernails can be trimmed by a nail clipper but sharp knives work better and then the wife doesn’t doubt you either while she watching. My finger and thumb nails are for testing to see if the point of a hook is sharp enough,,, some guys just never change because they know better.

    I just shake my head when I see support animals. I feel like the owners may be too unstable to be walking in public.

    Glad this thread was resurrected. With the warmer weather coming, I decided to work on my beach body. Then realized I’ll never be able to shed the 30+lbs in time and called it a loss. So I decided to get my nail did. WOW did they do a good job and nailed the color!

    Well, look, a guy can only sit in a real bar sipping pink girlie drinks with fruit and umbrellas in them for so long before he’s got to get some air.

    Hemingway is spinning in his grave.

    Always wanted to walk into that place with a lit stogie just to see the look on their faces….

    The sheer manliness of it would have them recoiling like vampires that had just been shown a cross. If you did it while wearing a plaid wool lumberjack shirt, they’d all just fall over dead from a proxy overdose of testosterone.
