Reading the "what kinds of girls ..." and the "girlz ..." threats I got depressed. For cheering me up I am looking for some humor on that topic. I did read the "Bridget Jones's Diary" by Helen Fielding and found it partially somewhat amusing. Does anybody know something better? I am not even asking for "Hitchhiker's guide" quality of humor. Any recommendations on e.g. "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing" by Melissa Bank "Booty Nomad," by Scott Mebus (Miramax) "Love Monkey" by Kyle Smith (William Morrow's) "Men and Other Mammals" aka "My Fat Brother" in Britain by Jim Keeble (Hyperion Books) "About a Boy" or "High Fidelity" by Nick Hornby "Two to Go" by Nick Earls "A Million Little Pieces," by James Frey I know none of these books yet. -------------------- Wisdom grows from trying to find structure in our experience - looking backwards in time - while living goes forward. Theories are expectations that help us live forward - like possible ways to put the mosaic together. If they are worth the effort to remember, they should predict something and in case the prediction does not work out with time they should autodestruct. And then there is something that we cannot test - something we have inherited in form of customs, attitudes, culture and the spirit of stories told and retold - that is like our individual SQUARE ONE. This runs deeper than we can know. Posts: 311 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

I seem to recall vaguely liking "48 Shades of Brown", but cannot remember why. Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

"Booty Nomad." I am intrigued, yet vaguely frightened. The Bridget Jones sequel, The Edge of Reason , is full of the "wow, guys are weird and I can never figure them out" viewpoint. It's so like my life, except that I have yet to do time in a Thai prison. -------------------- But I have never known or heard of anyone in real life who has said, "Yes!

I'm not entirely sure people are good at understanding other members of the same sex either.

Eh, I can read most other men like a book. But then again, I spend the vast majority of my time around other men, so I've had more than enough time to observe and learn. -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

I've never bothered. But I'm reasonably good at knowing for when to duck behind cover when there's a bag or some other heavy object being thrown my way, so that's good enough. -------------------- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I'll tell you my story, man Though I wish I'd never been born I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams And my hand it shakes the pen Come on, come on now baby, Let the good times roll again Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

I've observed members of my own sex, and to tell the truth, most of what they do is equally inexplicable to me, as I am apparently not very typical of other women. -------------------- But I have never known or heard of anyone in real life who has said, "Yes!

From my observations of the human race, I have concluded that people are idiots. Aside from that, though, I'm not too bad with them. Stughalf mentioned reading other men like a book; I have that ability with both sexes, and I'm quite good at manipulation, too. Now if I can just overcome my shyness and moderation, I've got it made... -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

I read people of both genders like books written backwards in Sanskrit. That's not very well, in case you were wondering. —Alorael, who agrees that people are, on the whole, rather stupid. He need not look any farther than the workings of his own mind for an example of that, but happily he can see the model repeated some 6 billion times over.

Men are intrinsically humourous. Not that they are funny or have a good sense of humour: they are just humourous like puppies. -------------------- KazeArctica: Oh yes. KazeArctica: Oh YES Posts: 93 | Registered: Sunday, September 30 2001 22:00 |

We're also rarely properly toilet trained and have a tendency to excitedly run into walls. -------------------- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I'll tell you my story, man Though I wish I'd never been born I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams And my hand it shakes the pen Come on, come on now baby, Let the good times roll again Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

Unless my OED is leading me astray, "humorous" is spelled like this even in the UK.

Hah, you've been pffted at! Anyway, I've seen it both ways. I've also seen "humo(u)r" both ways. I don't think it really matters. I'm spelling it "hyoomuhr" from now on. Bob, newspapers count as 'toilet trained', as do gardens, right? -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

To be fair, some are about how wacky black people are when they act like white people, and vice versa. God bless corporate television. -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Using it to paint strange and beautiful mosaics on every wall of the house is also trained. Doesn't mean that it's hygienic.
