It makes you sound like a fourteen year-old bragging about touching a boob. I opened this thread because I thought you asked an interesting question. But your choice of language has pretty much ensured that any female Doper will either close it in disgust, or, more likely, take you to the woodshed for your misogynist language. ---

Yeah, it sounded like “What do chicks do when they’re not singing? I mean, they’re kind of useless otherwise.” I mean, he didn’t ask “What did Robert Plant do onstage? I mean, he didn’t have a guitar to play…” “And Freddie Mercury was kind of a slacker too. Did he just sway, or twirl, or show his nethers?” ---

[Moderating] I think it’s clear that we’re not going to get anything of value out of this thread. The well’s too poisoned, and the OP is not making any effort to un-poison it.
