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.) We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! [I have been requested to renumber the list] 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 10. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 11. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way. 100. Crying is blackmail. 101. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 110. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 111. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1000. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. 1001. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. 1010. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. 1011. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. 1100. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. 1101. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. 1110. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 1111. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we. 10000. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 10001. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 10010. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 10011. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear. 10100. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really. 10101. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun fo

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:

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 ?

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

>You'll notice that the original post uses American spellings Alas. I am reading The Hours by Michael Cunningham and while he, the author, is American part of the story is about the day in the life of Virginia Woolf. To my horror they used the American spelling of colour in one of her conversations. That just bugged me. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand?

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.

Now why didn't I think of that? :laugh: Mind you, as I don't have a previous model that requires an upgrade I guess I'm unencumbered by considerations of backward compatibility and interoperability...;) Anna :rose: Homepage | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

you know, when I read something from a British author I don't go through looking for spelling that might differ from the American way. I simply don't care. The question is, why do you care? It never ceases to amaze me how much people who don't live in the US get so worked up about whether something is their own culture or not. If I'm reading a British or Austrailian work, then I fully expect it to be true to their culture and spellings. There is nothing 'wrong' with that, it's just the way it is.

Yes, exactly, and there in The Hours is Virginia Woolf, quite British, writing "color" and not "colour". Exactly what you said. Ten bucks says Mr. Cunningham, the American author, wrote it as colour originally (because he obviously respects Miss. Woolf's work) but that the publisher changed it to "fit in" with the target market better. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand?
