I’m a guy. I’ll answer the question. Go on and ask.

Questions need not be solely on my guyness. If you have a question that you think really needs to be asked, I’m your guy.

How do you all walk around with those things? 😛

Seriously, don’t they get in the way? I ask my husband this all the time. He never thinks it’s a serious question.

Honestly, walking around never poses much of a problem. Usually it just fits in one area of your pants and stays there, so it’s not like it’s bouncing around like a jogger without a running bra on, smacking up against anything physics will allow.

What? the gaping hole of oozing bloody pus? Honestly it looks a lot worse than it probably is. I’d say poke it with a stick a few times and see if it moves. If it does, maybe you should get it checked out by a shaman or voodoo expert or something.

I’d have to say my favorite is Guy Laliberté who’s the owner of Cirque de Soleil, amateur poker player, and part time astronaut. He seems pretty darn cool to me.

What’s up with the obsession with boobies? Y’all should know they’re just large sweat glands, capable of producing milk; that get in the way when we wimmens eat spaghetti.
