10/11/2001 Entry: "sissified part deux"
All righty. After posting last night about my and Louise's men being totally sissified, L's husband responded thus:
>> That was funny. Henry and I must reclaim our
>> respective manhoods! Tell her to tell him we need
>> to go to several bars, a strip joint, and then a
>> firing range. If we're still feeling sissified we
>> can build something out of scrap lumber.
So, like a dutiful messenger, I printed this out and gave it to H.
All day today, I've been out. Not really doing anything, per se, just being Out. Getting Frida Kahlo stamps at the post office. Getting a Frida Kahlow artbox from my favorite store. Running porn from Perris to Riverside (which is much less exciting than it sounds). Talking to Gene, this fabulously leftist Libertarian who owns the Rennaissance Bookshop here in town (which, he will hasten to add, is the hotbed for alternative thought in this little town). Just being OUT.
I came home to find H at the computer, writing a reply to Brian.
>Hi Brian,
I think you're on the right track with the strip bar and beer guzzling, however, I don't know if scrap-lumber based activity is sufficient to counteract this degree of sissification. Case in point, I've got the flu and I've been laying on the couch staring at Beth's color swatches for new paint in our living space (calling rooms "space" is something I've unfortunately picked up from HGTV) trying to imagine an appropriately matching window treatment.
We need to think manlier. I propose that we start a metalworking project which would require welding torches and high-powered rivet-driving devices that impregnate solid metal with a satisfying kuh-THUNK. Maybe we can build some kind of homage to a sports franchise. I don't watch sports so it can be the team of your choice. Maybe it can be some kind of large obelisk to satisfy the Freudians. Well, I'll write more later, I need to remove the cookies from the oven.

I really shouldn't leave him alone for this long at a stretch.

I think Brian has another message for Henry that has something to do with Hustler magazine and beer...

See now, Brian must have too much time on his hands, too. Put him to work in the kitchen! :)

I should mention that when Brian told me that he was in the kitchen baking chicken. (And it was gooood.)
And tonight when I brought up the whole sissification issue he had to shush me cuz "Antiques Roadshow" was on.
