umm actually I'd say you do just fine with 26 in some settings...well at least ... ok there's no way to finish this well or gracefully

26- make a move on a woman without being awkward, corny, or insulting

27- kiss well enough to melt her knees

28- make love for longer than 5 minutes and bring both parties to the "finish line"

29- be supportive

I don't care if you can field strip an AK-47...if you can't do those 4 things, you aren't a man:)



AMEN SISTER!

It's not that they're awkward, corny, or insulting, just not present at all, most of the time.

Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense.

Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys; it's more sanitary.

Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

HUGS Jimi...yeah but when you do, you do it well:)

Chris- hmmm occasionally corny if it's delivered well or makes us laugh in a good way is fine and I think you're very manly:)

This is a man’s thread. We don’t want your dust ruffles.

Also I can dance the Tango and I’ve been told that I do it well enough that it automatically accounts for 26, 27 and 29. If I throw in the Waltz, then 28 too.

So on that line:

30 - learn to dance

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

You mean, pull him out of the water from another boat? Yes. But if you mean swim his ass back to shore- depends on his water displacement...

Never done it; have no interest to.

All others okay.

Almost a good score Chrisisall

I got #30 then too.


Though I don't think it substituted for any of them besides #26 and maybe #27.

Are you kidding...if you can do # 30 then it's an automatic pass on the others.
