Ok..this may even be a lil off topic for here even, but I just had to share. DW brought home this movie last night to watch, and being the dutifull DH I am (and being there wasn t anything else on tv last night), I watched it with her. After watching it..something accurred to me...the night this movie first came out in the theaters, I heard a sound, and I now know what it was. It was the sound of every male forced to watch this with their significant other losing their...um, shall we say family jewels, in unison..hitting the floor...and rolling away. After watching it...I now need a severe dose of guy movies to regrow hair on my chest. Think I m gonna start with either StarShip Troopers, or Smokey and the Bandit, then maybe Saving Private Ryan (not Pearl Harbor...that s a chick flick that guys can tollerate cause it has real good special effects). Might move onto Black Dog, then Full Metal Jacket. Might have to throw in there The Great Outdoors. Now excuse me..I need to make me an herbal tea, and give myelf a facial. [:D]
rednekrubbrduckGlad to say I haven t watched it...
ha..!
You poor soul you...
Have a nice day... sipping your tea!
rednekrubbrduckI must say that I truly enjoy reading your posts. I have not seen that movie yet, but now I can t wait to.
rednekrubbrduckMy DW is been trying to get me to watch it. NO WAY I am getting stuck . I run and hide. I don t care what any one thinks. Duck, That could effect you the rest of your life. I recomment start out with a case a beer and all the action-adventurer movies you can get your hands on. If you start now you might pull out this. [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
rednekrubbrduckWow, what an awesome review, RNRD! I gotta get DH to pick that one up tonight![;)]
Actually, it was suggested to me by a friend that either I watch on my own or with some of the girls.
rednekrubbrduckHey Duck;
I have some RAMBO and Arnold movies here I could loan you to help snap you out of the ESTROGEN COMA you re in! [;)][8D][;)][8D][;)][8D]
How s the facial coming?
rednekrubbrduckHey Duck;
Pull these " rules" out and give them to your DW next time she suggests a chick flick... or you start suffering from ESTROGEN OVERLOAD!
Have a nice day... BTW the facial looks great!
The Rules -- This Time By Men
We always hear " the rules" from the female side. Now here are the
rules from the male side. These are our rules!
Please note: .. these are all numbered " 1" ON PURPOSE!
1.) Learn to work the toilet seat. You re a big girl. If it s up,
put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don t hear us
bitching about you leaving it down.
1.) Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see
if we can find the perfect present yet again!
1.) Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
1.) Sunday = sports. It s like the full moon or the changing of
the tides. Let it be.
1.) Don t cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive
than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married
is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you re stuck
with her.
1.) Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think
of it that way.
1.) Crying is blackmail.
1.) Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle
hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1.) We don t remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a
calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.
1.) Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you
think we d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look
good with your dress?
1.) Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
question.
1.) Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1.) A headache that last for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1.) Check your oil! Please.
1.) Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1.) If you won t dress like the Victoria s Secret girls, don t
expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1.) If you think you re fat, you probably are. Don t ask us. We
refuse to answer.
1.) If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of
the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1.) You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want
it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it
yourself.
1.) Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.
1.) Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do
we.
1.) The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two
months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your
girlfriends.
1.) ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a
fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1.) If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1.) We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of
mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about
you.
1.) If we ask what is wrong and you say " nothing," we will act
like nothing s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth
the hassle.
1.) If you ask a question you don t want an answer to, expect an
answer you don t want to hear.
1.) When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is
fine. Really.
1.) Don t ask us what we re thinking about unless you are prepared
to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or
monster trucks.
1.) You have enough clothes.
1.) You have too many shoes.
1.) Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it s Bruce
Lee or some war flick where it doesn t really matter what they re
saying anyway.)
1.) It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz
together. No, it doesn t matter which quiz.
1.) Peanuts are as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
1.) I m in shape. ROUND is a shape.
1.) Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on
the couch tonight, but did you know we really don t mind that, it s
like camping.
rednekrubbrduckOk, I guess I have to be only guy who s seen the movie with my DW and one of our son s with his girlfriend. My son and I were definitely in the minority at the theatre, but we both loved the movie. I thought it was well done and very funny and have the DVD.
Ok, I now have my flack jacket and hard hat on.
rednekrubbrduckHey Cadeuse, I really like rule #1[8D]
rednekrubbrduckRNRD if you need a good guy movie check out xXx a great shoot um up blow um up movie.
some of the best lines in the movie " the things I m going to do for my country" and " I want all this in here" . I m not sure if I quoted it right but its close.
rednekrubbrduckSure glad my DW isn t into chick flicks. She s not into the bang-bang shoot em up s either. We both are more of a Silence of the Lambs type.
rednekrubbrduckCadeuses I like rule 1 . But it rule 2 that I don t like. and that is DW has Iron frying pan and would use it on DH ( witch is I ) if I Quoted rule 1 to her. [: (]
rednekrubbrduckA-Men brother Cadeuses. And Old Moose?...we know your DW is standing behind you when you typed that entry. We understand. [8D]

Ya... and I bet she was holdin a gun too!
Have a SAFE day! [;)]
rednekrubbrduckOkay, I have to confess, I rented the Divine Secrets last weekend too, and DH did watch with me. No, I didn t force him, but I decided to watch it late Sunday eve, and thought that I might be more comfy watching in the bedroom, and so he happened to be there too, so he got to watch. At first he was really not excited about it, and by the end he was still not excited about it, but he did say it wasn t as bad as he expected it to be. I, on the other hand, really liked it. It s not what I usually would pick, but it was good in it s own way.

[;)]
rednekrubbrduckTo offset the yayayayaya junk just think: " Bond. James Bond." Nuff said.
rednekrubbrduckI feel better today...Midway was on last night, as was an old John Wayne movie. It was also Enterprise night. DW asked me to return the movie today. She said it ll be a day late. Oh great, they re gonna see me returning it and think I liked it so much I was willing to pay the late fees to see it again. It s kind of like when she asks me to pick up some feminine hygene products for her. Thinking " Bond..James Bond"

Can you just slide it into a drop slot with a cheque taped to the outside? Thinking " Terminator... Predator... Full Metal Jacket... Bond... James Bond..."
rednekrubbrduckUm..no. I m one of those folks that likes to see my movie actually checked in. Guess I ll just put up with the embaressment.
rednekrubbrduckLooks like my DH will get to live another day, he hasn t posted anything on this subject yet and now that he saw I posted he may think twice??? Just kidding!
I watched it but he passed, I m sure he wished it was some " guy" flick.
Glad you re feeling better Ian [:)]

Hey Duck:
If you enjoyed Ya-Ya Sisterhood, other people who enjoyed that also enjoyed these:
- Terms of Endearment
- An Officer and a Gentleman
- Fried Green Tomatoes
- Thelma and Louise
Be sure to pick those up on your way out the door.
Surfcal
P.S. Has anyone seen Office Space. If you haven t, you should. It s hilarious.
rednekrubbrduckI may be polish but I am not stupid. Oscar takes up to much room on the couch Dear.
SurfcalHay!! Fried Green Tomatos was a good movie.

I would just like to say that not all women go in for sappy " chick flick" movies. Terms of Endearment and An Officer and A Gentlemen (not to mention any movie with Julia Roberts in it) are at the top of my " Refuse to ever see of my own free will" list. Drag your fingernails down a blackboard; play " Oh Mickey, you re so fine, you re so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey" over and over until my ears bleed; perform chinese water torture on me until I have a permanent indentation on my forehead, just dont make me watch those movies. Any movie whose sole purpose is to make you cry by the end of it does nothing but annoy the snot out of me. I saw YaYa with a couple of girlfriends on a rare girls night out and didn t like it, but that was because I had read the book. (I m one of those that always reads the book and then doesn t like the movie because they can t accomplish in 90 minutes what they did in 300 pages. Huh, go figure...) Give me a good ol suspense thriller or comedy any time.
BTW, I love Office Space!![:D] Here s the scary part--I m totally Milton Waddams![:o] I actually bought my own stapler when I worked for State Farm back in the early 90s--I can t stand a stapler that won t staple more than three pieces of paper. I ve taken that stapler with me everytime I moved jobs. Still have it too! Anyway, work sucks! [;)]

Hay!! Fried Green Tomatos was a good movie.
I m right there with ya buddy. Actually like this one also..especially the line " I m older and have more insurance" . Officer and a Gentleman is a good date movie cause of the military stuff. Office Space was hysterical. Returned Ya-Ya..and told the guy it was my wife s...not mine. He just chuckled. No late fee either (whew). I m lucky that Lori isn t really into chick flicks either, and is like me in the fact she likes movies with real good special effects. One of our favorites is Rat Race, cause it s just wrong on so many levels. Get (or rent) the DVD with the deleted scenes, those are way to funny..especially when the bus full of Lucy look-a-likes meet the bus full of Ricky look-a-likes.
SurfcalP.S...Tim..tell your GD that Logan has a new GF. The neighbor girl who s in his class. She has him wrapped around her little finger all ready.
SurfcalLinda and i were talking about where to put her power wheels jeep when we go camping together. You remimber how cute they were together riding thier bikes in hannibal. I told linda we have to take it no matter what the kids would have a ball. Katie looks up and says can we go see Logan. I won t tell her it will break her heart.
