Ray? Ray, friend, sit down. What the girls are saying is "jerky is gross", not "jerky is masculine." Please find me the girl who ate the jerky, disliked it, and then reported "it's too macho." Charles Bronson is macho. Changing the oil while shirtless is macho. Beef jerky is a snack. You're bad at girls.

Now your burden is twofold: establish why you are obsessed with the masculinity of jerky and go ask all the girls whether going in on a joint purchase of jerky with strangers you met on the internet is manly. Why do you need jerky to be macho? I mean you're really quite the bruiser on this topic.

Ray, frugality is not masculine. It's housewifely. A man takes me out for a date, rooters me right out to the all you can eat buffet, and announces "mmm, baby, watch me save money on your ass. You can eat ALL DAY in here." Do my loins quiver? No. Those big brute football players? They're wearing $500 shoes on the field and $2000 shoes off of it.

I hate amateurs. I thought this was going to be fun. Oooo, matching wits with Ray, this will be a peach. That's what I thought. The whole thing was too fucking manic; it was less like Two's Company and more like Three's Company. There were no deft turnarounds, no incisive little references to delight in, no pointed puns - it got to the point where I started thinking "hey, he's not actually playing at all. He's serious." Then you started with the come-on lines and talking about your dick for hours. What was that all about? Do you think I have sko dick phobia, or do you actually believe I'm interested in how you feel about your penis, or did you imagine you were being funny?

Tewt's right. You're dead. And look what you've done to ES and BDR.
