Nedew Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 As pandering and specific as that thread title may be, i've decided to put this out in the open (well, again) as i'm sure if we all nag enough he'll eventually give in I acknowledge that you may actually despise the idea of a blog or not like their 'target market' or something or other, but I and i'm sure many others here and repeatedly enlightened by what you have to say, and would love more pearls of wisdom I've even spent the time compiling some great Remi-quotes (i'm like a one-man fan club here!), so you better yield! Women are indeed snowflakes, their common measure being, they can be melted (or frozen, if they're big enough. <Dice Man> OH! </Dice Man> ). Just a correction. Spike TV's primary audience is MEN, not 'young adults'. Just like Lifetime is WOMEN, not 'middle age' and LOGO is GLBT, not any specific age demographic. 'Jesse James Is A Dead Man' was not greenlighted because 'chicks dig stunts'. And once I get my father's cars sold, I'm buying a house. In Bonaire. With its own dock. Ok, so not only is it rather tough compiling a list of quotes for someone, it's also somewhat stalkerish so i'll stop here and leave you with the knowledge that i have way, way, way too much time on my hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remianen Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Who says I don't already have one? Seriously, I've thought about it but then my peeves from other blogs (come on, two weeks between updates? WTF!) plus the fact that it would be all over the place so wouldn't stick to a specific theme (which I'm told you need to do) kinda dissuaded me. Someone recommend a good blogging site/tool and I may put it up on my site (when I get it completed *sigh*). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedew Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 the fact that it would be all over the place so wouldn't stick to a specific theme (which I'm told you need to do) Says who!? Part of your appeal is that you can discuss all sorts, you're not an expert on... knitwear, and nothing else. You have a substanstiated knowledge of knitwear as well as gang warfare, as well as cutlery etiquette, as well as Mandarin Chinese. Just examples here! Someone recommend a good blogging site/tool and I may put it up on my site (when I get it completed *sigh*). Blogspot, Blogger, Wordpress, Livejournal, blog.co.uk, take your pick!

The act of wooing a fellow male friend for the purpose of becoming closer. 2. Going to unusual lengths in an attempt to become closer with another male friend I'm not trying to say anything but........ You know, stuff like this is often in jest and/or to mock the guy said to be in the bromance but I am so glad the concept is coming back. Was reading E. Anthony Rotundo's "American Manhood" a while back and he noted how common they were in the 19th Century. Especially between young men in their late teens and 20's looking to stabilize their transition from adolescence to adulthood. Bros back then would even do things like sleeping in the same bed and hugging unapologetically in public that might oog us out in the 21st century. But the homoeroticism we'd impute to such things today was a concept most bros of that era believed beyond them. So if Nedew is trying to "mans" Remi, I wish him luck with that. I can only imagine how much smoother coming of age would have been for me if bromances had been an acceptable idea in the late 80's and early 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 We (used loosely, basically meaning "people from GDS who say stuff good) should get together and make a website of random junk. We can have everything from vaguely political rambling to articles about wrestling or whatever. Is anyone around here an expert at HTML/PHP/Masonry?

alden Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 i am confident enough in my hetrosexualty that i can do stuff like this. i don't know about the same bed thing....that is a little much. backw was in college though anyone even dare hint at anything i would get all up in arms. It comes with age i guess........if two dudes can share a connection then more power to them.....and no not in that way....although there is nothing wrong with that......... let me check to make sure i did not offend anyone lol ok done......yah......i think i am safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, like I said, that only worked because of the very narrow view the average Victorian had of homosexuality. In an era where we are so much more aware and sensitive of it, I can't imagine this ever happening again in hetero circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an era where we are so much more aware and sensitive of it, I can't imagine this ever happening again in hetero circles. Come on now! Has no one here been stuck in a foreign city during an international summit with their two best friends when their flight was canceled and only able to find a room with one double bed in it while listening to two grown ass men whine about how "Mr bigshot travel agent couldn't find us a decent room"? Or is that just me? I mean, it wasn't a 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' type of night but 3 dudes, one bed, with two of them snoring like elk, didn't set off the ol' gaydar at all.

That's also a case of necessity being the mother of invention. Er go, not exactly the best of counter-arguments. Then again, I wasn't aware that elk snored either. So whatcha gonna do?

alden Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 that is a situation where two of the guys hit the floor ......i mean maybe if it is a huge HUGE bed then maybe two people with plenty of pillows inbetween lol but other then that this is no way.......

Stennick Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yeah gotta say I'd be grabbing some floor on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedew Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Even me with my somewhat archaic view of masculinity has been in the same bed as a few guys before, usually when steaming drunk (the mind often picks comfort over potential embarrassment in that situation), but even so. I've also marched around a gay fella's house in my boxers for about 5 hours, but that's allowed as i'd spent the previous 2 having sex (with a woman, before you ask ). That was more of a pride thing But yeah, i wouldn't shag a guy in a million years but i've got no qualms about much else. I'm secure in my straighthood really. ...Anyway, mjdgoldeneye's suggestion about a GDS-wide blog of sorts sounds brilliant, i'll have a think about how that could be done.

Double bed is NOT a huge huge bed, unless you're a newborn. Yeah gotta say I'd be grabbing some floor on that one No you wouldn't. Trust me. This was not a 5 star establishment. This was a 'I'm not taking my boots off to walk around this room without a tetanus shot' type of establishment. That was the main problem. Ordinarily, one of us would take the floor and the other two would take distinct halves of the bed. Not this time though. Plus, I'm a little guy and sleep like a corpse (when I do sleep) so I don't take much space at all. And I can neither confirm nor deny there was absinthe involved. Then again, it might just be because my friends are spoiled as sh*t. ("Remember when we went to Ibiza?" "Which time?") I think the easiest way to do a community blog is to start one and give several folks access to update it. But ya have to keep in mind that the internet is forever. Once you put something up, it's there for good (even if you delete it - damn Google). So if any of you are planning to run for public office (*whistle*), might want to keep that in mind. Doesn't take much nowadays to associate a handle with a 'government name'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Nothing wrong with a little homoeroticism, and if I were to woo anyone from GDS, Remi would probably be near the top of my list too.

That don't count! I have ONE car as far as I'm concerned, a '96 Toyota Corolla. My father died in December of 07. If "I" had those cars, would they have been sitting in that garage since then? I couldn't be arsed to figure out what to do with 'em so they've been sittin'. Once I get them all appraised though, I'm gonna dump 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I could take them in some form of divorce after some form of marital agreement... Or I could steal them. Just leave the adress of your garage and enough money to take the plane to the states...
