Lets Paint The Kettle Black (2) Do You Have A Bitch ? Put On Your Rubbers And Wade In.

I pride myself upon being the biggest LITTLE git on AfterDawn, actually

And har har har, good one

 

From what I hear, girls are as bad as guys (if not worse) for commenting on physical features and clothes. I don't know how many times I've heard women say the first thing they notice is if a guys shoes match his belt. There's that shoe thing again. lol First impressions work for both sides.

Comfortable shoes can look good. The shoes you got are okay, but a set of Nikes or something like the Eccos would look more mainstream. Same for the jeans and shirts. Try browsing around a Timberland store and stay away from the small stripes. Maybe not all stripes, but those horizontal stripes on buttoned pullovers look like Dad's shirts.

From early childhood I understood my mother had no taste in boys' and men's clothing. To this day she buys stuff like sweaters with patches on the elbows and some have strange designs. I was self conscious with a lot of what she had me in as a younger child. Luckily my grandfather came along and saved me.

You're right, personality plays a big role. But, you're not likely to get up to bat looking like a bum or nerd. A few girls may go for that look, but not many. From what you said, it appears you wanted a guy to be neat and show you the courtesy you thought you deserved. I suspect that's another thing most girls/women want to see. I've seen militant females go off on a guy for opening a door, but it's still the thing to do (depending on the circumstances, a guy wouldn't want to be the doorman at school). I overlook women with poor social skills (who like to attack men trying to be nice), but I sure wouldn't want to date one.

Seems you misread what I said. Auslander has the paratrooper boots reaching to his vocal regions. The meanest thing I have are the mid calf motorcycle boots (manly, but not as near my manhood as a real pair of military boots). My boots get more use than the dress/casual shoes. The Birkenstock get some use for around the house and trips out in town. When doing a lot of walking, I'll go to the Nikes. They still look better than a pair of Rockports.

 

those are the boot i used for years..riding my #
"Hardly Davidson" road king classic or walking,my son use's it now..it still looks like the day i got it.

Great looking bike, the Road King Classic. I opted for a big "rice burner", the Honda VTX1800N (Neo Retro). It runs better than it looks and I think it looks great. Of course I didn't leave it looking undressed...

@Pac ... just being silly, my friend!

 

My bitch:

I forgot to set up my billing for the MLS (see here for info on what it is) so I am temporarily without access until I get either a check down to the MLS office or it setup to bill via a credit card.

However, on a great note:

My first client called my dad and got his mortgage application going. That's the first step to getting a client into a house as you have to figure out what they really can afford and not what they think they can first before looking for houses for them. >.<

Peace

 

Men are like..

Men are like placemats.
- They only show up when there's food on the table.

Men are like mascara.
- They usually run at the first sign of emotion.

Men are like bike helmets.
- They are handy in an emergency, but otherwise they just look silly.

Men are like government bonds.
- They take so long to mature.

Men are like parking spots.
- The good ones are taken, and the rest are handicapped.

Men are like copiers.
- You need them for reproduction, but that's about it.

Men are like lava lamps.
- Fun to look at, but not very bright.

Men are like bank accounts.
- Without a lot of money, they don't generate much interest.

Men are like high heels.
- They're easy to walk on once you get the hang of it.

Men are like curling irons.
- They're always hot, and they're always in your hair.

 

good night


On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple was involved in a fatal
car accident. The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates
waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting they began
to wonder; Could they possibly get married in Heaven?

When St. Peter arrived they asked him if they could get married in heaven.
St. Peter said, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let
me go find out," and he left.

The couple sat and waited for an answer... for a couple of months.

While they waited, they discussed the pros and cons. If they were allowed to
get married in Heaven, should they get married, what with the eternal aspect
of it all? "What if it doesn't work? Are we stuck in Heaven together
forever?"

Another month passed. St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat
bedraggled.

"Yes," he informed the couple, "You can get married in Heaven."

"Great!" said the couple. "But we were just wondering; what if things don't
work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"

St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard on the ground.

"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.

"OH, COME ON!!!" St. Peter shouted. "It took me 3 months to find a priest up
here! Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take to find a lawyer???"

 

that's a very good one ireland. lol

 

Hey Phlax, you play Cricket?

@Pacman, yeah thanks for the tip. I think I might go get some Air Force 1s. They have some pretty cool ones.

Hey guys I'm gonna join the Navy, do they give Combat Boots there? lol Then I can have authentic military boots too!

 

Suspected as much. I realize you weren't being malicious, but having some fun with the discussion. How often do you get guys, and obviously some he-men, discussing shoes?

 

Hey pacman, I also hate it when girls call you sexist when you are trying to do something nice to them. For example in class one day I was carrying my book back to the shelf and I asked a couple of people if they wanted me to take their books. This girl got all worked upa nd called be sexist and stuff... so weird.

 

Unless they changed things, you'll get a pair dress shoes and a pair of ankle boots for work shoes. I hated those government issue shoes. In colder climates on shore duty they may allow you to buy some higher boots. At one point the Ft. Lewis boot by Danner was military approved. Not sure about the present.

 

What if you're a Doctor in the Navy? I don't think there would be any need on combat boots at all because it's the Navy. I guess thats why they only allow you to buy higher boots when you're on shore duty.

Would have been cool to get them though!

On a different note afterdawn consists of 350 out of my 400 messages in my hotmail account lol.

 

Luckily there's not too many of those left. That's a throwback to the 70s when girls and women were burning their bras. She must have read about it or her mother told her. I suspect the guys didn't care. LOL You should have asked her if she'd like to return your book.

As for a doctor in the Navy. LOL I don't think they wear combat boots. I hear they're grossly underpaid in comparison to their civilian counterparts. I thought you were still in school. Are you thinking of becoming a military doctor? Becoming a doctor takes 4 years college, 4 years med school and then a lot of doctors go on to specialize and be board certified, requiring a couple more years. About the last year of that they can start moonlighting and making a few dollars. Then they're set for life unless they do something stupid.

 

Everybody else is saying thanks, and she freaks out lol. Some people can freak out over anything. Like that one black woman who accused Capcom of racism because they had black zombies in RE5 while completely ignoring the fact that in the first four games the zombies were WHITE. Later after she realized that she goes on to say that she has no problems with them being white. First off all its a game, second they're ZOMBIES!!!!!

People like these are the root of the problem that they try to eradicate! Hey look I bitched about something, we're back on topic.

EDIT: I'm still in High School, but those are my future plans. I don't think they are GROSSLY underpaid but they do have substantially smaller pay. I've always wanted to be a doctor, but I also want to be in the Navy, so it's my way of compensating lol.

 

i'd imagine navy guys needs tall combat boots as much as anyone. they keep the elements out very well, something i'd think to be important in such a salty, windy, wet environment.

*edit*
props to you, abuzar, for wanting to serve by saving. moral highground = you.

 

Yeah but they wouldn't be for Combat though. Maybe they should call them element boots lol.

 

well, calling them combat boots is kind of a misnomer; they're not exactly armored or anything. they're just jack-of-all-trades,master-of-none-boots. they are the best general boots for durability, protection, comfort, etc, all together, but not the single best at any. this is what makes them a very good value.

they're also called army boots, as well as a variety of terms. i prefer "sh**kickers" and often use "curbstomper" to describe them, as well.

*edit*
dan, if you're watching, and i doubt you are, thank you for preaching about your steel-toe *dutch* (...i think?) combats so long ago...i love my steel-toes.
