    Dawson's Creek, Party of Five, etc made me puke.

    Growing up, I always saw Clint Eastwood and Sean Connery as role models in a sense. In the movies anyways.

    Clint Eastwood, yeah. He really was "that man." I could watch the Good Bad Ugly/Fistfull of Dolllars, Josey Wales, all that stuff all day long. Matter fact, I may just make a weekend out of doing just that!! Its gonna be raining all weekend where I'm at any way.

    One of my sisters was so crazy about Clint Eastwood that her husband would become enraged if she watched his movies.

    I remember once she was asleep when The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly came on.

    Her husband awakened her roughly with these words that will long live in infamy: "Hey, wake up! Your n***er is on TV."

    True story.

    Eastwood was OK, but he never should have tried to sing in that movie he did with Lee Marvin.

    BARBER:
    I wanted to be... a lumberjack!

    Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The Giant Redwood. The Larch. The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine! The lofty flowering Cherry! The plucky little Apsen! The limping Roo tree of Nigeria. The towering Wattle of Aldershot! The Maidenhead Weeping Water Plant! The naughty Leicestershire Flashing Oak! The flatulent Elm of West Ruislip! The Quercus Maximus Bamber Gascoigni! The Epigillus! The Barter Hughius Greenus!

    With my best buddy by my side, we'd sing! Sing! Sing!

    [singing]
    I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
    I sleep all night and I work all day.

    MOUNTIES:
    He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    BARBER:
    I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
    I go to the lavatory.
    On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
    And have buttered scones for tea.

    MOUNTIES:
    He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
    He goes to the lavatory.
    On Wednesdays he goes shopping
    And has buttered scones for tea.

    He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    BARBER:
    I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
    I like to press wild flowers.
    I put on women's clothing
    And hang around in bars.

    MOUNTIES:
    He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
    He likes to press wild flowers.
    He puts on women's clothing
    And hangs around in bars?!

    He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    BARBER:
    I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
    Suspendies, and a bra.
    I wish I'd been a girlie,
    Just like my dear Papa.

    MOUNTIES:
    He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
    Suspendies, and a bra?!

    [talking]
    What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
    And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!...

    [singing]
    He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay.
    He sleeps all night and he works all day.

    You're so clueless at times, Minimus.

    In our culture, if a woman takes another lover, the man is referred to as "her n***er."

    "In our culture, if a woman takes another lover, the man is referred to as "her n***er.""

    I think Syl you caused some confusion because of your spelling- "a" instead of "er" puts it in a different context.

    Or is that just a generational thing? My grandpa used to say that word all the time with the "er." Maybe.

    For our generation, er.

    Even if I'd spelled it n***a, Minimus wouldn't know the difference!

    He's a hapless White male!

    Tee hee hee.
