Slappie 9 #1 November 30, 2006 So this morning I was in a pretty good mood. I'm flipping through the stations on the radio. I stop on the 80's station just at the tail end of a traffic report to see if there is something I need to know. Right after the report they go into a song. The song was A-Ha - Take on Me I thought about changing it. But it brought back some memories so I cranked it! Jammin and singing to Take on meeee, taaaaaaaakkkkeee meeeeee onnnnn... aaaaaa ooooooOOOO aaaaaaaa To feel a bit more manly after the song was over... I plugged Iron Madein into the CD player and jammed to Trooper and Run to the Hills. Followed up with some Megadeth - High Speed Dirt for those who don't know, that's Dave Mustaine's tribute to skydiving. Haven't heard it and enjoy Megadeth check it out. So do I lose my guy card? I'm kind of worried... What's your guilty pleasure? I know you guys listen to some kind of music but wont admit to liking it. Me it's 80's "pop" I was a metal head and couldn't admit to liking the catchy dance stuff back then in fear of my buds kicking my ass.

2fat2fly 0 #2 November 30, 2006 Likewise, my tape case was packed with blues and metal.......and a little Duran Duran just because the girls liked it (yeah, right)I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yardhippie 0 #3 November 30, 2006 no you do not lose your guy card, in fact we must place an endorsment on your guy card. you get the 'FF' endorsment, standing for 'Femle Familiar'. Youl like long walks in the park, a good sale, a nice pair of new shoes and A-HA!

cocheese 0 #4 November 30, 2006 As long as you cleaned out your speakers with some Iron Maiden I guess we'll let it slide this time. But try to be more careful. If i find out you've been listening to Country music, we're going to have to ban you n stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #5 November 30, 2006 Yes.... Now give it to me. (j/k.... it's cool that you have a varied appreciation of music. Woulda been more cool to say that you decided to stop on Fugue No. 2) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skysurfer_Rob 0 #6 November 30, 2006 I will not move for your Guy Card to be revoked, due to immediately playing Megadeth and Iron Maiden after wussy moment. This is what I propose (need two other guys to second and third this proposal): Guy card will be suspended for one week. Between today and next Wednesday you must drink one six pack of German or good old American beer (in one night), watch one sports game on television (or skydiving video, whichever you prefer), sleep in one day this weekend (scratch excessively when you wake) and down a Double Whopper with cheese plus the king size fries and soda.

rehmwa 2 #8 November 30, 2006 Obsessing over the loss of the guy card is grounds to lose it. Perhaps discussing it here will help you with your sensitive 'feelings' on the issue. Then maybe you can take a bubble bath afterwards and talk on the phone with your best friend. Just because. Plugging in other music doesn't erase your first action in any way. And metal is just closet girly anyway. Eat some chili, go chop some logs and suck it up. ...

unformed 0 #9 November 30, 2006 Normally you would not have lost your guy card. We all have our guilty pleasures, but as all long as we can then go back to Maiden or Slayer or whatever, the guy card is not even in jeopardy. However, the fact that you thought you may have lost you guy card, and then came on here to ask about it, means now you have forfeited your guy card. Men don't need other people's approval, and they definitely don't need other men to confirm they're okay. Therefore, now you are a woman. Q.E.D.This ad space for sale.

rehmwa 2 #13 November 30, 2006 QuoteAmen to that.. Though I appreciated your original reply, I have to take exception with all the posts that say listening to metal is a mitigating factor. Any post that says a man card is in ANY WAY defined by musical preference is a bit gay. But I guess the metrosexuals don't have much to hold to in any case. Turn off the radios, mpeg players, etc. go outside once in a while. have one woman, raise the kids tough but fair. show up to work, don't whine, do things for yourself, don't slouch, don't brag, don't posture anything else is just self congratulatory pap ...

masterrig 1 #17 November 30, 2006 Don't worry about it pal! So, you listened to a little 'A-Ha'... no big deal. Every guy does it once in awhile but don't admit it to it. You had balls and admitted it. It takes a manly man to do that. Your one redeeming factor was following-up with Iron Maiden and etc. You start listening to Madonna or Britney Spears and it's instant lifetime revocation of your man card! The Village People is just totally wrong! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was more burned on the discussion that seemed a lot like "I like this kind of music, therefore I'm more of a man." Where I come from, that's not really a factor. ...

The choice of music really has nothing to do with it. I grew up listening to death metal so it popped into my head first, but I can vouch that the type really doesn't matter.... edit to add: your posts are dead on the money.This ad space for sale.

(I guess you could lose it with the advances in surgery. You didn't have surgery did you?) actually just being born with a penis does not entitle one to a guy card. You must not at anytime allow "sand in the vagina", a phrase we use for those who get a bit whiney, or always flake. so, if you have ever been asked, "do you have sand in your vagina" AND you have a penis, your guy card may be revoked.
