Dockers are great for #1. Deep pockets. And I’m “questionable”, most definitely. As for the passing gas category… I like spicy foods, and I love beans. Spicy beans are best. 'Nuff said. -S ---

1. Ruggedly good looking. I once got drunk and went off a high diving board and missed the pool, at least part of me missed. ---

Well I’m either questionably devilish, or downright ruggedly questionable. Qualifications: Can snag a toppling beer bottle seen out of the corner of my eye while holding a remote control and tossing peanuts at the dog. Also, if left in the middle of the woods with a compass, a knife and one match, I can start a fire to summon help. ---

I wish I could put my thoughts into words here, but they’re too abstract. I realized that after hitting reply. For qualifications, I am extremely good at barroom jenga (using glasses, ashtrays, salt/pepper shakers and whatever else is on the bar) ---

Devilishly Handsome here. I play pocket-pool with ease. My remote control has fused to my hand. I can burp the alphabet, and expel gas faster than a pump at Exxon, though usually mine aren’t that wet. I can hit a person with a beer cap from thirty paces with a snap of my finger, and I think that belly button lint and toe jam are funny. Do I qualify? ---

1-I have mastered the technique that we call the “Pinch and Roll”, for Testicular itches. 2- I prefer not to, but when called upon, I can belt it out at short notice. 3- Does the luxor count? 4- Many a time…but I added a spanking in there 5- I own 3 Humidors, nuff said? Did I make it?? 😃 -Sam ---

I should fit in the #5 group. only because when I called my mom to see if she loved me she laughed and hung up the phone. I believe I should be taken into the Stag club becuase I always freeze in the middle of the road when I spot on coming car headlights. ---

Well, I think I belong here, with the Questionable group. If I’m downgraded to the #4 position, I will gracefully accept the demotion. If, however, I’m kicked down to #5, I will file a strong letter of protest with Cecil Adams, whom I’ve seen naked. I have his home number. We tawk . My qualifications are many and varied. I can fix a stove, I can drink 12 beers and eat five-eighths of a large pizza in one go, I often borrow the neighbours tools and fail to return them and I fart in church. In addition, I am adept at killing small rodents and making little girls cry. ---

I fit the desciption and the qualifications. As you all know after seeing the SMDB Men Pages (courtesy of our lovely TechChick!), I’m in the Devilishly Handsome category. I want to add a few new qualifications: 6. Yells and gestures at every other traffic participant. 7. Picks nose in traffic. 8. Scratches balls first thing in the morning, no matter WHO is watching. 9. Likes 80’s Big Hair Bands. 10. Thinks the “Guy Stuff” Thread is the latest translation of the Old Testament. ---
