A few weeks ago I got a PM from someone claiming to be a 45 year old female. The first message was - Hi how are you? So I replied - I'm fine. The second message was - Good do you like to be tickled? So I replied - I'm not sure because I am from Nigeria royalty and Nigerian royalty aren't ticklish - it is kind of like home English royalty don't sweat. The next message was - you don't look Nigerian. So I said - Well that's because I'm not wearing my Agbada robe or wearing my Nigerian headband. I goof around like that until they figure the catfish aren't biting. Cheers and happy weekend! less

If Washington is dreaming of 2040 or 2050 as the end of the American Century, a more realistic assessment of domestic and global trends suggests that in 2025, just 15 years from now, it could all be over except for the shouting.

I am going to call it "the Hannity Bunch" and Danny DeVito will play Hannity. I have been working on the theme song and here is what I have so far. One day some anchors met a orange man and they knew it was much more then a hunch - they could control the minds of millions and con them out of a few bucks. (something something something). And that's how we became the Hannity Bunch the Hannity Bunch and that's how we became the Hannity Bunch. Cheers! less

Acting out is an outlet for the mental energy that is in excess and whether its justified or not, it is needed.
When people let go and scream, shout, or kick and scream it is a method of control in that moment. Right then and there all actions are actions they are taking, and, in their mind, they don’t give a damn about what society things, because society is no longer in control, but they are.

Police said Daniel John O'Brien, 31, of Roselle, Ill., scaled an airport wall in the nude, attacked four security guards and stole their four-wheel-drive vehicle.
He drove the jeep onto the tarmac to a British Airways 747 that was readying for takeoff, smashing the vehicle’s top. Guards said O'Brien scrambled out of the wreckage, smeared grease on his bleeding shoulder, then ran back to the jetliner and threw himself into the engine.

I assumed a community within the online manosphere dedicated to “preserving a man’s sovereignty at all cost” would be fond of any kind of masculine refuge.I was wrong.“*******,” the Keymaster told me by phone. “The whole man-cave concept is shunned by MGTOW because the idea is that your wife gives you permission to make one room in the house — the basement — your own. It’s condescending. The man cave makes a mockery out of itself. Like Al Bundy, or one of those unfortunate television-dad morons who apologize to their wives for everything. Those guys need a man cave.”MGTOW (pronounced “MIG-tau,” at least per everyone I spoke with) is a worldwide social phenomenon and online... less

Unless you guys are emailing me, I don’t always know what’s being said in the Q&A.
As you all likely know, the site needs some TLC. The scope is not wholly known and cannot be known until we perform some much overdue maintenance and updates. I suspect the updates would likely fix many, if not most, of the issues you’re experiencing, but I do not have any guarantees with it.I hired a new developer to restore site functionality last October on an emergency basis. He quoted me at $550 for the above.
Most of you also know that the site is not here for profit. It’s never turned a profit. Most of the site has been paid for by me out of my own pocket with the occasional support of Muggers. I had hoped I’d be able to pay for the upgrades myself. I haven’t been able to and I don’t have a timeline on when I can.if you guys want to fund the updates, you are welcomed to contribute.

They made my life so much better, simply by sharing their music and singing talent. I listened SO much to their music. And I still do.By my listening, I credit them particularly, and Johnny Nash, with helping me grow through my younger years with more happiness.(Stu Spelling Bee's question gave me a way to share my thoughts.)

The irony of a member of the Trump family trying to talk about values is certainly off the charts but there is nothing that this family won't do to earn a quick buck. Cheers!

Then the class bully walked into the washroom and asked me why I was being a big baby and crying. I explained what was going on and he said - eeeeey you have to pull the zipper down then he left. The next day he started talking to me and we eventually became friends. Cheers!
For me: having clean fingernails (minor), and the fact that the acquisition of and consumption of alcohol has such importance to so many people (major).~
