To you guys who say you’ll never have sex with another man, I say: you just haven’t met ME yet! 😉

Three things I will never do:

1. Have sex with a woman. So there. 😛

2. Eat sushi. I consider myself gastrointestinally adventurous, and I make it a policy to try anything once before declaring I don’t like it. But eating raw fish just strikes me as a really, really bad idea.

3. Wear socks with sandals.

1. Have plastic surgery for purely cosmtic reasons. Unecessary surgery just for the sake of vanity? Ick.
2. Have a threesome with another woman. Yes, I know it’s every guy’s fantasy, but it sure as hell ain’t mine.
3. Vote Conservative.

My three things of Never…

1. Use illegal mind altering drugs. (Now, the _legal_ ones may be a different story)

2. Sky dive. No how, no way. Not me. Nuh-huh.

3. Become a fireman…er…woman…um…person. Big fear there of large flames of fire that can melt my skin off my body.

What’s with all the negative attitude and prejudice and discrimination against…  
(Hijack alert!)

skydiving, really? 😃

It’s no more dangerous that scuba, mountain climbing, and many other adventure sports. It’s a great thrill, a source of inner peace, and a wonderfull chance to observe the beauty of the world, make great new friends, have absolutely no other life on weekends, and spend all you spare cash. A weekend of intense skydiving produces the same feeling of rest, renewal and rejuvenation as a whole two week vacation (and can cost the same too, if you’re training).

C’mon, be open minded a bit! 😉

What’s wrong with breast milk??

1. Never play or watch hockey again (if they make the nets bigger or add any other crazy modifications to the game that would make it cease to be the game I am in love with).

2. Never be the first to have a witty reply on this board.

3. Never do drugs. My reaction to gluten is more than enough of a deterrent to have me swear off anything of the sort.

1. Hard drugs. I’m not that much of an idiot and I’ve seen what they do to people.
2. Willingly read USA Today, any tabloid, most glossy magazines, or watch TV. It’s _eeeeeevil_.
3. Willingly go back to a synagogue. Or, for that matter, a church, mosque, meeting, or anything of that sort. Take _that_, parents-who-insist-I’m-jewish.

Anyone else spot the oh so obscure and probably unintentional Natural Born Killers reference in this post?

It’s nice to see that someone else has their fashion sensibilities correctly aligned. Can I say here how much I _detest_ khakis of all descriptions? They’re just so–bland. I always think of them as the pants worn by models who are modeling anything besides pants; they wear khakis because they are too bland to distract from the shirts, sweaters, or whatver that’s being advertised.

Seriously, I either wear jeans or suits. I don’t take that stupid, middling, business-fricking-casual bland route, ever.

Now then, my other two:

(2) Cheat on my wife

(3) Win the lottery (this is reverse psychology).

3. Vote Republican.
