TC the Terrible

Am I missing something, or did guys not have buddies years ago?  The reason I ask is that USA Today has a write up in today’s edition about the number of guy pals suddenly on our televisions.

I know that Scott the Scared and I have been friends for nearly forty years now and it is not a big deal.  Yes I did break up with a girl once because she didn’t like him, but I don’t think that is out of the norm for most guys.  After all, women willing to sleep with you are easier to find than a guy who’ll stick with you no matter how stupid you get.

This is more of a case of television being behind the times than it is anything else.  Men tend to make a couple of friends that endure for a lifetime, and that’s been the pattern since we ate what we killed with spears and rocks. 

Men still admire John Wayne and the Lone Ranger as examples of what good men are and how they act.  There’s been no change of the culture there.  The only change is how it is presented on television.  That and the fact that despite the best efforts of the Oprah generation men are still men.

After all the touchy feely bullshit of the past twenty years it is time for the ultra-radical-feminists to admit that men are different from women.  Trying to get us to act like women only pisses us off and frustrates women.  There are some Beta males out there that will do whatever a woman says in the hopes that she will never leave him.  The sad truth is she will either leave him for a man she respects, or keep around and treat him like crap for the rest of his Beta life. 

Most men have always known that having guy friends is a good thing, a sanity check in a world of unreasoning, a sounding board when you need advice, and a partner for your crazy ideas.  The men who struggle with the hardships of reality are the ones that have tried to substitute female approaches for genuine male bonding.

So-called ‘relationship experts’ are just trying to sell books, mostly to women that are not confident enough in themselves to attract real men.

Ok, I didn’t get my "Cafe’ Correctivo" but I’ll give this a whirl.

• I told you guys yesterday that Germany was getting ready to go medieval again.  Here’s the skulls to prove it.
• If you have 90,000 songs downloaded, odds are more than a few didn’t come from iTunes.
• Cheap drugs are only a good idea on the surface.  Even generic drugs require somebody to do the R&D work on the front end.  Cutting prices is going to cause a shortage of new treatment methods over the long term.
• Guess what?  Fat people get shitty gas mileage.  Sounds like a good reason to lose weight to me.  Not like being healthy is a good thing all on its own or anything.
• Cheap houses are a damned good thing.  Sucks to be you if you bought at the top of the bubble.  Hate it.
• I keep waiting for someone to make the remark that the administration at Gallaudet’s hands are tied.
• Some people are just destined to go to hell.  Hope I don’t  meet him there.

That should be enough to cure your needs for the day.

I hate to be a bummer, but I’m just not in the mood this morning.  Maybe a couple of martinis at lunch will change my disposition.
