September 01, 2004hurricane floydI'm getting a few comments from tough-assed BROADS who think I'm full of shit for saying that wimmen hyperventilate and get the vapors when a big storm comes. Well, I didn't make my opinions from ether. When hurricane Floyd was supposed to hit Savannah a few years ago, I invited my mama, my grandmother, all my in-laws and everybody else I could think of to come stay at my house, the mini-farm. They got there a lot quicker than I got home from work. I was one of the last people out of the plant (that was my job) and I spent almost two hours on the road trying to get home. I had a generator, propane, plenty of food and water, flashlights, batteries and lots of room. To ME, my house seemed like a good place to hunker down. But the wimmen started watching the Weather Channel. Hyperventilation occurred. Like chickens, one started to squawk and the rest took up the cry: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!! Got-dam!!! What is it about you wimmen that make you so assholey sometimes? The next thing I knew, I had a rebellion on my hands. Every woman in the house wanted to flee. I had just come in from the roads and I knew that nobody was going to flee ANYWHERE, not with that traffic-jam on the highways. But try to expain facts to a hysterical, hormone-driven bitch. You may as well go piss up a rope. They don't listen. They begin to "feel," and you'd better watch your codsack when wimmen start that "feeling" shit. You believe that men think with their dicks? Watch a woman when she starts to "feel" things. Tell me what SHE'S thinking with. It damn sure ain't her brain. I managed to quell that rebellion only after the wimmen called every motel chain in the phone book and learned that there wasn't a vacant room within 500 miles. (As if you could have GOTTEN THERE in the traffic.) Then, they all settled down and prepared to die, giving me hairy eyeballs for getting them all killed. I liked my grandmother's attitude. "I ain't going nowhere. If Robbie says I'm safe here, I'm gonna trust him. I am too old for the kind of car ride you people are suggesting. I gotta pee a lot." Floyd missed and went up the coast to pummell North Carolina. The wimmen never forgave me for being right when they were wrong. Wimmen are like that. But NOBODY better tell me that they don't hyperventilate and get the vapors. I've SEEN that happen.

Now Rob, I don't think it's _quite_ fair to include all of us ladies in that statement..... I love hurricanes. Floyd was my first major hurricane (we probably saw more of it than you did here in lovely hurricane magnet NC), and since then my attitude is a lot like your grandma's. My husband on the other hand....., well, let's just say he prefers sunny weather.....

Posted by: caltechgirl on September 1, 2004 01:45 PMFuck it, I am staying home, fuck it and all the rest of them. I'm not going anywhere, Cat. Posted by: Catfish on September 1, 2004 02:26 PM"The wimmen never forgave me for being right when they were wrong." With all due respect, Acidman, sometimes you PISS ME OFF!! I love ya and all, but DAMN you and your sweeping generalizations. Hmmmph. Posted by: Kate on September 1, 2004 02:27 PMThere is a reason that hysterical and Really, who gave you hell besides me? Your personal experiences do not give you license to generalize. Sure, you can do it, but I'll give you hell for it. "THEY" do not - as an entire group - hyperventilate and "vapor"...whatever the fuck that means. I emailed you the story of my refusal to evacuate when staying ocean front, and I see ya got no reply for me. ...furthermore, I think you're projecting when you say "the wimmen never forgave me for being right when they were wrong. Wimmin are like that." I'll ignore yet another generalization in order to get to the heart of the matter... Pick an issue, any issue. Assume in the end, I'm right and your wrong. I understand you'd never admit that, but just how many centuries would it take YOU to deal with it? Posted by: Key on September 1, 2004 02:37 PMHell, I had the ex bitch on the phone for a full 15 min after I admited she was right and I was wrong. I finally had enough and told her "Ya know, you were right and I told you so...but with your continued yapping...you need to back up and regroup a bit. And hung up. Maybe all woman don't have the vapors and or faint...but I haven't met one yet that once her panties got in a knot didn't know when to put a cork in it. Must be a genetic thing. Posted by: Guy S. on September 1, 2004 03:27 PMROTFLMAO! Yer pushin' buttons again, bubba.... Posted by: tybee mike on September 1, 2004 04:46 PMMB resents that highly, for she had to cope with all the preparations when PB had to stay at the plant on hurricane watch, so WATCH THE DAMN GENERALIZATIONS. They are NEVER true, and you know it !! Without generalization, conversation is impossible. Posted by: Brett on September 1, 2004 06:33 PM"The need to be right" is a disease afflicting both sexes. I believe your story 100% Rob, especially the brave and defiant Gram. If more women admitted the feminazi party line is bullshit and that they are NOT the same as or equal to men, (in both positive and negative ways) the 'good' women wouldn't always have to step in and say, " We're not ALL like that." (Well, sorry, hons, the "LAW" sez you ARE and until it's changed expect resentment). Women have superior traits that complement male superior traits. But the bullshit and vitriol of dealing with "modern" women's feminazi myths and their refusal to compromise makes it not worth it to bother with them. Posted by: horse with no-- on September 1, 2004 06:36 PMHmmm. I'm curious now. Perhaps I'll check it out... Posted by: jmflynny on September 1, 2004 08:28 PMEwww, Horse, Please. If I'm a Feminist, much less a "Feminazi, then Acidman is Jerry Falwell on a popsicle stick. I've never met a so-called feminist who didn't have at least one of the following: 1) an axe to grind There are exceptions to every rule, but that doesn't negate the rule. Fine, you've got some strong women who read and comment here, but dont' feel you have to name-call. Feminazis exists whether I FEEL they do or not. Yes, we're different. We have different strengths from men, and different weaknesses. And for every Pussified Male worshiping at the feet of Alan Alda-ism, there's a strong and independent woman who can stand on her own two feet and damn anyone who tries to tell her different. As long as the feminized "LAW" condemns and destroys men who by their very nature are doing the same thing, that is, standing on their own two feet, there can't be any real respect of women by men with balls. That's the trap. Men are being told to ACT differently than their nature. I don't want to live in a weak, feminized world. What man does? I came here to conquer, not quiver before an affirmative action judge for being myself.
Only a bit guilty here...I agree mostly where you say, it's directly related to how casual the man is about it. A woman tends to make up the difference if he doesn't get excited. Sometimes that can be a very good thing. :) "wimmen hyperventilate and get the vapors when a big storm comes"
Oh, okay. I understand now, Horse. Some coniving (sp) little tart with an agenda busted your balls at work with HR so now we're all Feminazis. Fine, be bitter. Wallow in it. Enjoy it. It suits you. In the meantime, I'll go crack open my copy of "Sexual Persona" by Camile Paglia, pop the top of a Guinness, and bash a few metrosexuals who think their mysogyny act passes for "butch" in some Domination Chatroom at Yahoo. Isn't that where we met, Horse? Posted by: Mamamontezz on September 3, 2004 04:55 PMPost a comment
