RE: Ya-Ya Sisterhood..and the Sound Heard Around the World

rednekrubbrduck · Sep 28, 2003, 07:05 PM

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. [

rednekrubbrduckI must say that I truly enjoy reading your posts. I have not seen that movie yet, but now I can t wait to.

gnsmith · Jan 08, 2003, 12:19 PM

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. [

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.

Cadeuses · Jan 08, 2003, 01:44 PM

rednekrubbrduckHey Duck;

How s the facial coming?

Cadeuses · Jan 08, 2003, 02:09 PM

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.

oldmoose · Jan 08, 2003, 02:18 PM

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.

bikolee · Jan 08, 2003, 02:21 PM

rednekrubbrduckHey Cadeuse, I really like rule #1[8D]

campingcop · Jan 08, 2003, 02:38 PM

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.

bikolee · Jan 08, 2003, 02:43 PM

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.

gnsmith · Jan 08, 2003, 05:14 PM

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. [: (]

wiininkwe · Jan 09, 2003, 07:47 AM

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.
