The Guys' Rules
-
Now I'm sure: Men are computers! :-D 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. Wow, binary brains :-D In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. Need a backup drive, or more memory? I'll look for a "guys upgrades "-shop. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. No multi tasking... let's fix that by installing a new OS. Where's that "guys upgrade"-store? ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings 16 colors are not too bad, it's better than seeing everything in black and white. Anyway I'll get you a pair of RGB-eyes from the "guys upgrades"-shop. I am in shape. Round is a shape. Vector graphics are great, are you SVG compatible? After installing more memory you'll be able to have a more complex shape than just round. And you'll be capable of multi tasking. Does anybody know what is the latest version of GuyOS ?

Heh! I'm reading Mikhail Sholokhov's 'And Quiet flows the Don' in a 1964 US Paperback edition. It gave me much delight to be able to show my wife the impeccable US pedigree of the edition on the copyright page and then point out that 'colour' was spelled correctly. Naturally she demurred :) Rob Manderson Colin Davies wrote: I'm sure Americans could use more of it, and thus reduce the world supply faster.

>I'll look for a "guys upgrades "-shop. I got about 134 emails from the "guys upgrade" shop over the weekend. I can forward them all too you if you want.

Minimize buttons, that's it! And a quick, simple un-/installer to install and uninstall guys in minutes. What about Themes/Skins? I'd like to change the appearance every now and then. ;) But all these features are "nice to haves", the only real "must have" is multi tasking. As long as multi tasking is not supported... may I run more than one instance at a time? :rolleyes:

Would you mind re-numbering the list?

I don't know actually - I was hoping some American might make a comment referring to it so I could figure it out. (You'll notice that the original post uses American spellings)

Shotgun formation is a football term, American football. Refers to the positioning of the offensive players at the start of a play. (Not an American but filling in for the morning).:)

This was sent to me by a friend: At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.)

Specifically the shotgun formation is when the quarterback lines up a couple yards (meters) behind the center (the man who leans over, grips the ball at the beginning of a play and on a signal gives it to the quarterback). In a "regular" non-shotgun formation the quarterback would line up directly behind the center. "Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky. You get a sense of it and then you look away." Jerry Seinfeld

Whiner... When I chat with Americans I use the correct spelling of color, but when I converse with you I corrupt it deliberately, knowing your perverse fixation.;P Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Referring to number 1, what is the "shotgun formation"? I know of the gun and what it means to shotgun a beer, but a formation? regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand?

Paul Watson wrote: what is the "shotgun formation"? It sounds like a bad translation somewhere along the line. More likely, the original was probably "configuration" - barrel length, choke type, etc. [EDIT] The football reference is a new one to me, but I've never watched a football game on purpose in my life, and hope never to.:zzz: [/EDIT] Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Upgrading guys is a difficult task; most women find it impossible. A better strategy is to visit Victoria's Secret and pick up something nice for yourself. Then you will be deluged with offers to replace your obsolete guy with a new, more versatile model. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

The shotgun formation is an american football formation usually used for passing plays.
