There's a similar website in the UK that fronts for a magazine called Chap. It's all about how to be a "Chap". How to dress, what to drink, smoke, eat etc. Very entertaining.
 
The Chap is a funny magazine,they champion pipe smoking.I've gotten
quite a few belly laughs reading "Chap." :)

Their suitcases are amazing!!!!!

 
Beautiful, yes, but with the 50 lb. limit for checked baggage (what do you think that puppy weighs empty?) and the way bags are handled with loving respect by the baggage guerrillas, I don't know I'd use it much for flying. Still, pulling it out of the trunk of my new Ferrari (would it fit in their glove compartment/trunk?) at a swank, upscale resort with all the eye candy checking me out would be mighty fine.

Hey, I can dream too. :mrgreen:

I've got the extra large in dark coffee that I use for just about everything. Goes to the office with work stuff, carries all my hiking/camping gear, or comes along with me when I go fishing and hunting. Their bags work for just about anything. Also have one of their small pouches that holds all my pipe stuff when I'm out that clips to the front. Can't beat their stuff for durability and versatility.

I'm wicked jealous...haha! Enjoy that bag!

Oh and Natch, I agree with you whole heartedly. I'd never fly with that bag...purely for those "pulling outta the ferrari at upscale resort" moments. I can dream too. :D
 
Men's Rules: At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

Finally, the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear 'the rules'From the female side

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered '1 '
ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.


1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do s omething
or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched..
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as hunting, fishing, golfing, or something with wheels.


1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight.
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can -
to give them a laugh.
 
Here I thought my feminine side was showing: that leather bag up there is badass. I have a 1930s case for...medical tools or something... that looks similar to it. I think it'll outlast me, the way it is built.
 
I bought my briefcase from these guys when I passed the bar exam. It's really a great bag, carry it with me everyday. Its developed quite the patina.
 
Those are pretty slick, Dave. 8)

I should post a picture of my diabolical doctor's bag some day.
 
Marty,

I loved your list!! And I usually don't like lists. The points are both truthful and outrageous, at the same time. Priceless!
 
ROFL!!!!!

I am in total agreement with item 1 on Marty's list!!!!
