BK...that would be bud-ette.


LOL Gypsy, what's that, the second time you have been mistaken???

You obviously need to start sounding more "girly".

To help in this, I have put together a few suggestions:

1) You must end all posts with the qualifier "at least that's just my little weak girly opinion..."

2) You must refer to your gun at all times as "my bang-bang thingy" and your knife as "my stabby thingy" (as in "my stabby thingy came in handy last night to smush an icky spider")

3) You must never refer to someone as a tool - use the words "silly, naughty man" (it sounds much sissier :D )

Hope that helps (ROFL) :D

Mistaken? Moi? Bite your tongue! Not me, nope...never. :p I definitely can't afford to hire you as my posting consultant, but thanks. I think. LOL.

However, I'm "girly" when it's ahhhh....you know, the right time. Other than that I'm often told I think like a man but look like a woman....it's the best of both worlds. :cool: For those that know me, I could never pull off the weak girly thing anyway. Such is my lot in life...

Sorry, that first sentence wasn't complete, it was actually "mistaken for a man". :o

I'm often told I think like a man but look like a woman

I get this also, haven't yet decided if it's an insult or a compliment - it can go either way really! :D

It's a compliment.

Of course, you are not mistaken, women are never mistaken. They may occasionally, very rarely, not be in possession of all the facts, through no fault of their own, but they are never wrong! :D

It's a compliment. Only if the basic assumption is that men "think" better than women. ;)

Uhm... NO!

Rare is my foray into the realm of the XX / XY argument, but Honey-Gypsy, those big, bad MOFO's who we love, respect and admire so dearly for protecting us against evil, being locked & loaded and surviving SERE, (or teaching it) ...

Well, those same sweet Studs still can't figure us out and are defenceless against us in the face of our "different" thoughts. Your most precious gift to them is in NOT thinking like them much of time. Hang on to that and never forget:

"When the Mama ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy!" :D

LOL! You got it.

What I was trying to say, unsuccessfully it seems, is that generally I'm more of a logical thinker vice emotional thinker, yet being that I am a woman there is obviously a dichotomy. That in and of itself seems to throw some men off...and intrigues others. The phrase "you're dangerous" is something I have heard often in my life.

When it counts, I'm all XX...trust me. :D

On the right track. I am almost convinced that you get it. :cool:

If your consulting rates are adjusted exponentially in direct proportion to the perceived dichotomy (and level of respect/expertise), when you finally bail on the "Old Boy Network," and go solo, then wink, flutter and hold out for the signature when they beg you to contract under your terms and rates; then... yes, you get it.

On the other hand, if you take a break and bust tail for two hours making the Stud a gourmet dinner; serving it in stilettos, smiles and softly-scented-sweetness, and you still think and respond logically in your reactions to said Stud's incomprehensible grunts-in-between bites...

Well, then you are losing your game and I simply can't help you.

ALF! You never saw ALF in AussieLand? 80's Catch Phrase from the song:
(Ironically, Ms. Gypsy is a Red-head, I do believe)

When the Mama Ain't Happy

Ever since Monday
I've seen it comin'
When I say what's wrong
She just says nothin'
Well I ain't about to let it go
Cause I've loved her long enough to know

When Mama Ain't Happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
I've got a limo waitin' and dinner reservations
A corner table with some candlelight
We're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight

I see in those green eyes
Her red-head temper
And she can make July
As cold as December
Well I love her every way she is
But brother I've discovered at times like this

When Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
I told the babysitter, fix a macaroni dinner
And try to get the kids in bed by nine
We're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight

When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight

Of course I get it!

When full XX mode is thoroughly engaged from the beginning, such as the above, I don't need to think. It's all instinctual. ;) Geezzzzz I have been around ya know...it's all about balance. It's an art...or a gift, perhaps a mixture of both. :lifter

Love the lyrics to the song. And yes, I am a redhead.

Pandora you might like this.
It is a quote from "The Mouse That Roared".



'I hope,' said Gloriana warily, 'that you are not going to suggest that I marry the American minister because I won't do it. I've been reading about the Americans in a women's magazine and they're all cruel to their wives,'

'Cruel to their wives?' echoed the count.

'Precisely. They treat them as equals. They refuse to make any decisions without consulting them. They load them up with worries they should keep to themselves. And when there isn't enough money, they send them out to work instead of earning more by their own efforts. Some of them even make their wives work so they can go to college. They are not men at all. They are men-women. And their wives are women-men. If I am to marry, I want a husband who will be a man and let me be a woman. I'll be able to handle him better that way.'

I particularly enjoy that last line for some reason. :D

Pandora
09-10-2005, 12:17
I'll be able to handle him better that way.'

I like that last line, too, but I hestitate to imply agreement with anything that would deny me the right to work.

Nothing like a great B***h squared: Boardroom, Bedroom, BBQ, Babies

I know, I could never get an American Man to marry me, either - I'd be so cruel to them. :cool:

Well, much like what you have smartly alluded to in other posts Ms. Pandora (as well as Gypsy even though you both approached it from diametrically opposed angles).... a combination of all is the best offense. A Poker, a Kicker, a logical thinker AND a Gurly-Girl, faceted. That is truly the most confounding combination of all, n'est pas? Because the XY never knows which one is going to rear it's head. With the AVERAGE XY, this works, because you can be logical 98% of the time (something I tend to lean toward), but then that 2% of the time when you come out of left field and freak on them, well.... it makes them think they got hit by a bus or something.... and they scurry to fix it, help it, make it better.

Now, I must put in a caveat here, that I am talking about most men with the above scenario, and not the men in here. The men in here are more like Hornets. They cannot be fooled. They cannot be distracted. You MIGHT be able to out run them if you're lucky. So its a different playground here I think.

I guess I see both sides to this. Bottom line is I can kick over an ant bed just as well in a pair of 4" stilleto Santana pumps as I can my jungle boots. But in the end, I know which shoes I can run faster in. Then again, I am the stupid girl that wore a tank-top to the range yesterday because I didn't think, based on the law of averages, that a hot piece of brass could possibly find it's way down my cleavage. I was wrong. (typing this while holding a bag of frozen peas to my chest)....

As for cooking for someone and doing the whole femme thing for them, if they merely "grunt" during dinner time conversation, I can deal with that. And I will only deal with it once. They don't get a second chance after that.

Triva tidbit: Hit 6 on google for the quote leads to "Michele Agnew." One 'L' Michele, well-read in classics, nice legs (if the piccie is real, but isn't Michele the male of Michelle?), perhaps a tad too flowery to be a poker/kicker. Likes your favourite quote though, as do I. :cool:

Ms. Pandora - Sweet! After your first comment of thinking the quote was mine (I wish) I was going to come in and set the record straight, but it seems you researched it. I was told originally the quote came from Mae West. I always thought it was brilliant but I never verified the source conclusively. Aside: Michele can be french for the male of Michelle, but not always. There seems to be a discrepancy in the Parisian french versus the French canadian's in this regard. My Mum is French canadian (100%) [and yes I know this is a bad time in history to admit being part French.... well, gosh, now that I think about it, was there ever a GOOD time in history to mention that? :p] ... regardless, the one "l" version of the name is oft female. Either way, I think we all have nice legs whether it's one "l" or two. :lifter:

In arm wrestling, bend his wrist. It's cheating I know. Cheating is good sometimes if it means you win.

Maisy, one would think there is no blackmailing involved in Gypsy's non-insect status. Probably just tenure and SA. Although I really would be a liar if I didn't admit the bug-title somehow leaves me a bit hilariously proud. Better to be a kicker or a poker than a recipient of being kicked and/or ..... nevermind.

Ms. F|S I am healing up wonderfully well thank you! I ALWAYS wear a baseball hat to the range (my instructor is mandatory about that). I was warned a few weeks back about the tank top. I chose to learn the hard way. He (teacher) was close by and kept a close eye on my gun hand through the ordeal. After my strange dance, and subsequent retrieval of said brass, my instructor just looked at me and started laughing his a** off. All he said was "you kept your finger off the trigger and kept your gun pointed down range the whole time. Overall, well done. No more tank-tops, okay?" Humbled little me replied "yes. okay."

But but but! I will have a cool new scar! One with a good story attached to it. Which is so much better than saying "Oh, and this scar on my finger here? This is from one night when I was making Pot Roast...."

And yes Sister. You are making history. No worries there. Some of us will just have to settle for some odd little notoriety. But not you. ;)

You want to borrow my phone to make the call?

I grew up on a dirt poor tobacco farm.

So far, I am not impressed. Bring it strong or stay at home.

That's ok, I wasn't trying to impress you, I was trying to amuse you. :D

Well, heck, yes I know it was doomed to failure, but not even a small smirk, not a tiny twitch of the lip?

No. I guess not. Tough crowd.

Thanks for the offer of the phone, it was very generous considering the distance, time and money involved in getting it over here.

And, considering the price of long distance phone calls in Australia, yes please, I'd like to take you up on that offer. :p

:: disapproving tone ::

Now Ms.Michelle,

Have I not taught you anything!

You've taught me lots Sister! {please don't get all disapproving on me... if I want that I'll get married}.


Do not relent! :fswhip:

But I taught myself that. ;)


Poor Ms. Maisy actually felt compelled to email me pics of her w/ her buddies (Yes she is attractive long-hair'd blond XX type). I mean really, why even publically claim being female? Leave it up to the reader to decide whatever they want to decide!

Not publically claiming naught. Private packet to TR, knowing he will keep closehold, leaves me, (one would think?), in a negotiative situation. Public knowledge still = minimal, whilst stepping up to the challenge at hand. Yes? No? Maybe?

Ultimately, it's a negative. Disagree with all due respect and sister-love.

Being perceived as male = lots more credibility. I know this first hand because (shhh...) I have written for publications using male penname as well as female penname. When I write as a male, people respond to the content of what I say. When I write as a female, people respond to how do I know what I say. My guess = it's not intentional, but it happens regardless.

I agree that's where the world is at now... HOWEVER...Being percived as XX and STILL having credibility, that is the win. As you know F|S, I have been commissioned to write an article that is in process and the "draw" is that I am an XX. Lets turn this boat around, shall we GF? Someday the "perceived" weakness may possibly be a strength... oh wait NO... it is happening already! We just need to have the guts and the brains to make it so. We've got it.

When I started asking questions on a gun forum after I got back from weeks of training classes, a moderator PM'd me and said,

"Look, I think you are a guy.

Compliment. [/quote]

We have had a problem here with guys pretending they are girls to ask dumb questions."

not a compliment.

So I replied with:
"Fine, call this number --- --- ----. Ask me any 3 questions that someone with intermediate knowledge would know. If I answer them correctly, you owe me a box of 9mm. I'll accept your challenge. You accept mine."

Now I would simply say, "What makes you think I'm a girl? Guys carry purses too these days."

Now I have to ask. Why didn't you whip out the "feel free to chip a tooth on my ass!" At this point? I'm just sayin....consistancy is sometimes that which wins the war....S(hero).

Maisy,
If The Reaper is typing in response to a thread here, he is in a good mood, no matter what he is typing.

I have a pet wild kitty kitty. If I get close enough to pet it or try picking it up, I bleed, every time. The kitty kitty thinks this is fun and is in a good mood.
If I don't try petting it or picking it up, I don't bleed.

Leave it to Mountain Man Harsey to have a lynx for a house cat.

This just gets better and better.

:D ONLY if you negotiate ahead of time! You said simply "Yes".

Point taken.

Suggestions for exchange:

1) A DOL pin. I have one and it's bad-a*s.

2) A cool used Army SF tee-shirt. (I will be way jealous if you get one of these cos I don't have one yet, so pretty please, negotiate for 2 !!!! Men's Medium :) ) Very used is fine!

Hmmm... Hey Sisterrrrrrrrrrrrr ::kisskisskiss::, could I hire you to negotiate with The Reaper for me? While you are at it, I have been meaning to ask for

3) a well-used pair of men's Army boots, any size, (I'm not kidding) to keep in my foyer near my intimidating picture of cute SF XY (http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3410) for when strange people (http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6837) come over to fix things in my house.

Hmmmmm.... In theory this is brilliant... but for the fact that to have a successful negotiation/trade transaction, the other person needs to truly WANT what is being offered. I don't think this applies here. lol. More a matter of yanking chain, and a subsequent rising to the occassion. As much as I would love to do some negotiating for your benefit sister, I'm not seeing myself in a position to succeed. As for the boots, I have a pair of jungle boots that are worn smooth on the bottoms and completely trashed. I could send them to you, but since they are size 5, I fear the intimidation factor you are after would not be acheived. It could momentarliy stun someone tho if they think you live with a military trained midget.



... I was actually horrified that he didn't believe that I was a girl.

Now I just don't care.



Now you're talkin!
;)

Ms. Maisy.... LOVE the new avatar. Nice crop!
