Well there's your problem Hooks....you can't just try mesculine....you have to BE mesculine. Women just love a man's man.....the more mesculine you are....the more chics you get, right? I just love helping people.

Oh, that's right, mani... it was Ern talkin' about parts of speech... (while the rest have their minds in the gutter)... Metonymy? Using one word for another that's suggestedby it. (For example, calling London "the big smoke".) Now, don't let that take your mind back to the gutter, Hook! lol

I thought "the big smoke" was a reference to ganja In jamaica they make these big cheroot looking things, I'm sure the Beatles must have tried them Not that I ever have though
It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere

Hold on Hook. Seven?!! I thought it was three. Maybe you've moved on from Kiss to the Village People!! Now they're very mesculine.

That all depends on which version: David Lee Roth or Louis Prima?
