And if I were going to dismantle a car with a screwdriver, this is how I’d do it.

Step 1) Attach hand grenade to gas-tank.  
Step 2) Remove pin using screwdriver.  
Step 3) Go back to hunting bears with a club.

I’m so damn cool, I even grill!

That said, my father is the grill-master of the family and I learned from the best 🙂 I was daddy’s little girl, he taught me to fish, grill, cook, think, and not be too girly.

I can also knit, crochet and other crafts (girly stuff).

\< giggling uncontrollably \>

Dayum, I am one damn cool chick.

\< evil grin \>

burp, 'scuse me 😉

No, you’re not. You are an independent, assertive woman who knows her own mind, and speaks it when the situation calls for it. You are WOMAN, hear you ROAR!

As for that estrogen smell, Whammo, well, what’s the problem? You certainly do like it when it’s burning for _you,_ don’tcha? Get a little irritated when it’s the women sniffing each other’s butts and not yours, eh? Yeah, deal with it.

(I’d put a winky face in there, but this is the Pit, so I’ll just call you a loser instead)

AH!! That did it! Whew… almost lost it for a second. Thanks Techchick… and if you need an extra set of fingers to scratch with… well… 😉

And Pursephone as far as women sniffing each others butts, I got ANOTHER visual going on here.

THERE YA GO!!! THERES THAT TESTOSTERONE SMELL! That will overpower everthing pretty soon.

ALL WIMMIN BOW TO TECHCHICK!

Actually, I’m forming the opinion that Techchick must some kind of screeching Harpy in real life. No way she’s THAT good looking with what appears to be a great personality (at least on the surface) to boot. Must be some kind of real ball-breaker if you get to know her too well. Remind me to keep her and my wife from ever meeting…

So, Techchick, can you write your name in the snow when you pee?

Didn’t think so!

Chalk one up for the guys!

_(Help fellas…if that’s the best I can come up with we’re in trouble!)_

It’s like I just stumbled into Lilith Fair here, estrogen permeating everything, women in comfortable shoes, if this keeps up this will turn into a hug fest.

And since I have once again fallen into the pit and can’t seem to get up…

Freak - my sled is bigger than your sled and I am the president of Ass Kickers Inc. you gnat squicking wannabe.  
My dogs are the biggest baddest mutts around and they could use some bitches, wanna loan me some of those chihuahas of yours? There won’t be nothing left when we get through with them but that’s life buddy. Afterwards I can reline my mukluks with their little pelts.

And for all you “Sheilas”

Who needs a fucking map? My sense of direction is flawless, it’s Lola that could really use a GPS when she goes to the store for milk.

Take my car apart with a screwdriver? Why would I do that when I have such an impressive collection of tools? Sure, I don’t know what they all do but has that ever stopped one of us? It’s always the women using the wrong tools for the wrong job isn’t it?

Who else but a man would use liquid oxygen to start a BBQ? Sure, it vaporizes the grill but it sure is damn impressive.

Better watch your mouth little boy. Or you won’t just be the president, you’ll also be a client.

I don’t think so, you pansy! I got these hell hounds as a present for the devil. Actually, to tell the truth, I kicked his ass until he gave them to me. And who you callin your buddy? I ain’t friends with no pipsqueak who needs to wear mukluks. I go barefoot! And the only fur I wear on my feet is the fur I grow there.

I ain’t gonna compare my toughness with the cotton candy you have for balls. Shit, I bet you even use the L-word.

Since I am once again in the pit…

Freak - I am so fucking tough I don’t even know the “L” word you mealy mouthed, fly squicking, gopher felching, traumatophiliac.

Satan is a pussy compared to me, I can handle 40 below while he whimpers like the pointy eared baby he is. Those hell hounds look like cats in drag. Here kitty kitty kitty kitty.

We both know Satan is a chick and that hell is a place with a ton of pretzels and no beer.

I bet a girly man like you even likes wearing his mommas garters and attending these estrogen fests. I bet you’re wearing comfortable shoes right now you leperous, inbred, hair lipped, yak flanker.

Yes… I said your momma.

Batter up!
