I guess I'm not a modern man, thankfully.

I just read through it all, I think he meant modern woman, although I think my wife would throat punch him for even thinking some of it.

Aggravated, what about the spouse/kids plugging in their own damn gadgets? If they can't sort that out themselves, good luck...
:rofl:

Makes me glad I'm a mountain boy.

Yummmm! Fresh Iowa popcorn! I envy you and am missing the entire point of this post.

 

[stickframer]

missing the entire point of this post.

For me, it's killing time on a mundane Tuesday night. Better than tv imo.
When I woke up this morning, I never would guessed I'd be reading about popcorn, in a tounge in cheek manly thread, on a forum devoted to pipes and tobacco. Life is good.

Yes indeed. The oldest popcorn company in America is in my hometown--The American Popcorn Company. You may know their product--Jolly Time! Family owned and operated in Sioux City, Iowa, since 1914.
Are we off topic yet?

I shoulda stopped at buying shoes for the little woman. WTF? She would not like me picking out shoes for her; she's a big girl!

Modern man, pfffft! I wish I could recall more Gilbert and Sullivan, but this is from the Pirates of Guess Where?

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,

I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical

From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;

And quiche! A good one is hard to beat.

I go with an Amish product out of Iowa. It's the freshest I can get up here in the great northwest of St. Brendan's Land.

I've got some grocery store brand popping corn. It's corn, it pops, won't blow your doors off though.

 

[elbert]

I have to admit my feathers were a wee bit ruffled when I discovered that the boy scout in question had sold me Indiana pop corn. For shame!

I'm proud to be an antiquated man.

I am pretty sure my eyes are bleeding. By #7 it was like a car accident, and I couldn't look away.
What a heaping pile of horse shit that is.

 

[stickframer]

#1 says modern man knows wife's shoe size yadda yadda....and knows which brands run big or small?????
Why am I so offended by that? I think offended is the word...

 

[skraps]

Why am I so offended by that? I think offended is the word...

Please refer to #26... Then... immediately proceed to #20 to assist with the distress of said offense.

 

[stickframer]

Lol. And then off to #2. :lol:

farmer: You done good! This is really fun!

In South Korea it is called "flower boy" instead of that "modern man". Flower explains everything.
