happythoughts 0 #1 June 12, 2006 I rented a straight-to-video movie called "Dave Barry's complete guide to guys". It is a self-deprecating look at guys in general. I enjoy his humor, so I enjoyed the movie. DB used to be a staff writer for the Miami Herald. He is pretty well known in Florida for his column, but he quit writing it last year. They made a sitcom based on his writings that ran for 4 years starring Harry Anderson. He has 20+ books and won a Pulitzer Prize. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #4 June 12, 2006 ... ever heard of him? Geez, the guy has over 20 books and a sitcom based on his life. Apparently, it is only I who seeks enlightment. I rented the DVD and enjoyed it. Definitely not chick-flick material. It's mostly jokes about stuff that guys do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #5 June 12, 2006 Um, yeah. He's been nationally-syndicated for years. I think I've even bought my dad some of his books. Hell, I might have even owned one or two myself.

happythoughts 0 #6 June 12, 2006 I guess there should have been a question in there somewhere. A little biography never hurts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #7 June 12, 2006 QuoteI guess there should have been a question in there somewhere. ] Well, you could have gone any one of several typical DZ.com ways ... "I am a Dave Barry fan and proud of it!!!!!!!!!!" "Dave Barry and Boobies" "Poll: Is Dave Barry the Funniest Man Alive?" "Dave Barry Needs Vibes" "Dave Barry Owes Beer" "I Heard Dave Barry is Going to be at the WFFC" "Has Dave Barry Ever Written about Anal Sex?" I could go on, but you get the idea.

happythoughts 0 #8 June 12, 2006 It was essentially a "relationship" movie. Guys - what they do. Women - why it is so perplexing to them. Definitely more accurate that the Venus and Mars apology letter, even if it is a joke movie. There was guys watching sports on tv, playing with a GPS, blowing stuff up and complaining about life. Then, there was the exasperated women. Women always wonder what guys think. Here's the answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #10 June 12, 2006 QuoteQuoteWomen always wonder what guys think. Here's the answer. Nah, I don't wonder. I figured out a long time ago that, for the most part, they don't. Half the women in the movie said that. The other half knew what men were thinking and found it irritating. Somehow, anything that women disapprove of, they categorized as immature (and then went shoe shopping). The movie makes fun of both sexes in a very subtle fashion. People who can't laugh at themselves shouldn't see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #13 June 12, 2006 Quote Sure they do! They think about sex food beer Did I miss anything? That is why Hooters waitresses are so popular. A Hooters waitress carrying a pitcher of beer and a plate of wings is like the Grand Slam. However, I think cool toys has to be added. Right now, I have one of the those mini-fridges sitting in the middle of my kitchen while I work on it. Since it has a flat surface, I keep my compressor on top of it. All my guy friends don't even ask, they just walk around it. The women start with, "What is this doing in the middle of everything?" He'd hate to admit it, but Bill Von is the Uber-Guy when it comes to toys. He loves talking about stuff that he's made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
