I HATE THE MAN BOOBS THING.

Homos, Transvestites....any other individual wearing whatever...dressing like whatever.....looking like whatever...I dont give a shit. MAN BOOBS...I hate.

Well, apparently you DO give a shit, or you'd be able to just let things go and not say anything. Because the stuff that's spouting from your keyboard sort of smells like it.

If you hate your MAN BOOBS go work out, develop yer pecs, do SOMETHING. Good lord man, I'm thinking something definitely has your knickers in a twist, and sitting is a lot less than comfortable for you.

By the way, in your first sentence you contradict yourself, if you don't 'give a shit' about what someone looks like or wears, then the whole concept of falsies for men should be moot for you. (They are worn you know...ya tuck em in your bra and go on with your life...ohh that's right you don't want to hear it!)

Anyway, yes, I have a job, I do my job, and the Cellar is a respite from fairly taxing calls of a technical nature from people who refuse to admit they're wrong.

Hrmm...boy, this sorta seems deja vu-ish....

Once again....someone has implied and overlayed opinions regarding my ORIGINAL post.
Don't you people have jobs ?

I wasn't implying or overlaying anything...just responding to what appeared to be a misperception about the gender of Dagney, who is unlikely to need man boobs and would therefore have little opportunity to enjoy them. FWIW, I think they're silly as hell, but then I think lots of things are silly (hats for dogs, interchangable multicolored snap-on cell phone faceplates, baggy shirts with clothing manufacturers' names on them written really large like it mattered to anyone in any way who made the damn shirt, false claims of human cloning, those sorts of things).

I find fewer things actually offending me these days as I really don't want to waste the energy on being offended unless it is really important. Man boobs don't make the offensive list for me, but clearly they do for you. And that's cool...

BTW, I *do* have a job. Damn good one too, because I get paid very well for what I do, and what I do frequently allows me time to banter about on The Cellar. Doesn't get to be much better than that, huh? Later, we're going to play Quake 3 on our office LAN. We also had free pizza for lunch, and I think we're going to go home early because it is snowing.

If anyone ever hears me complain about my job, just remind of the above paragraph, okay?

Thank you.
My thoughts exactly.
Seems like everyone in here likes the idea of men running round wearing outfits that accentuate their boobs.
Guess I picked the wrong crowd of boob-wearing folks to express my opinion to.

Freakin' Elpsode didn't even read my reply well enough to figure out that I wasn't even talking to him.....and Dagney obviously has a lot of time on her hands to discuss my likes/dislikes.

I'm not giving you people any more fodder to philosophize(sic) about. Go play with your man-boobs.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, but you did say "you people", thus sort of making it seem like you were addressing more than one person's response.

     Tsk. I can't believe you people. Making light of this poor guy. I mean he's okay with anything but man-boobs. Where is your compassion? Perhaps he was a victim of far to many purple nurples, or texas titty twisters or whatever they were called at your school. Yet, here you are rubbing salt in the wound. Shame on the lot of you. Can't you see you've hit a nerve? And still you make fun. For shame.

     By the by, I'm somewhat surprised that Dave isn't all over this thread. Usually anybody that's this easily baited would bring him like a shark to blood. Oh well.

I think Dave has been officially excused from play today, rumor has it, he's not feeling too well.

But one never knows, he may be up and at`em sometime in the near future.

Thank you for your compassion and understanding.
My sentiment exactly....I pretty much only stated that I hated Man-boobs fashion but it seems that the lot of the bunch assumed that I'm offended by nearly anything not "Norman-Rockwell-ish" and that's really not the case.
And yes...it seems as if the regulars are having fun with me because of my ONE strong opinion in the nearly 2 years I've been lurking about this neck of the woods.... you better beleive I've learned my lesson.

And you're right again...I am suprised we haven't heard Dave's rant on this topic....but perhaps he agrees with me and has recognized that its pointless agitating me over what I thought was a CLEAR explanation of my LIKES/ DISLIKES regarding the man-boob issue.

As far as the purple-nurple crack....speculation is futile....I had a normal childhood with nothing outside of the usual beating by the local bully for my lunch money. I've got no skeletons in my closet, I pretty much lead the straight-n-narrow.

Anyone else care to have some fun with me? Christ with all the BULLSHIT going on in this world, why would you people want to debate my ass over the MAN-BOOBS issue? I'm damn sure that NONE of you are going to be sportin' an outfit that looks like this anytime soon! Furthermore....I'd be willing to bet that the majority of you would cross the street if you encountered the boobed-man in your travels one day.

Why argue about something that's CLEARLY out of the ordinary.....even for shit that usually out of the ordinary?

I'm going to Linux World tomorrow....I hope I don't run into any of you there.....if I do....you'll know who I am....I'll be wearing my MAN-BOOBS !!

Heh. Whit is right. I thought juju did a fine job though, and I definitely am not feeling well.

Just a stupid little joke. Multiply length and width...

Oh smed, that's a great quote. Cookie of the second. To answer, I'd say cause the one thing more beloved than man-boobs is the silly.

Not unusual for a transexual, I suppose, but if he really was a heterosexual who did it only on a bet, it's quite a story.

Bzzzt.! Lots of transsexuals are heterosexual. ;-) Not me: I'm bi...but lots. In fact, this statement is true even if we don't waste time on the inevitable argument as to exactly "which transsexuals are homosexual" from people who think they know more about gender and sexuality than they really do.

Not all male-to-female transsexuals get implants, either....some of us get sufficient development from hormones that the risks and expense of the implants aren't worth it.

By the way, Google <i>"man 'breast implants' bet"</i> got it in one:

Smed...you'r closet's making an awful lot of congnitive dissonance noise for one that's empty. Might as well admit the guy in the leading pic has a fairly nice rack (as such things go) and the fact that at first glance it turns you on squicks you severely.

He lights up my lesbian side too...until my cortex kicks in after a second or two and says "hey, those are breast forms". Disappointing on a subliminal level.

I really do prefer natural boobs, and on women.

Me too.

I've always had a standing rule: I never date a woman with smaller boobs than me. I did that one time...and it just didn't work out. *shrugs*
