Is that when you decided to stay a retrosexual?

-Sharon

Sharon, I usually refer to my self as a Ruralsexual, but in a very low voice as it tends to get the sheep upset! They are a petty, jealous bunch and not prone to sharing!

If you can find a 2nd edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, the word retromingent means an animal that urinates backwards.

I can only presume that a retrosexual is an animal that ...
(And yes members of the homosapiens set are animals.)
That leads to a conundrum. Are all retromingents retrosexual, or it it the other way about?

I think either that would fit our thread originator to a T, or P, as the case may be.

brookwood, steady fella. Let's not make this too complicated. Learning more than one new word a year sets a high bar.

From degas : "We will have at least one outfit in our wardrobe designed to conceal ourselves from natural prey."

Trying to guess what's on the list...shark?

Poor sweet degas,burning and screaming~ I thought I heard something at the market today, but we dismissed the sound as just the noise of the jets going overhead.
I think the problem was Billy Bob, you need to find a nice young lady with a light touch and a clear head :D
I think you should just take yourself off to a spa where they will take gently care of you and you can relax with a glass of the Old Family Recipe.
I hope you are feeling better, ((F))((L)) Scarlett

Still need to know--What is banding?

jane - according to m_kingdom, wearing a black top with denim results in "banding".... which he/she says is unattractive.

What does a toy-boy know.

Degas,
The one thing I think you need to work on is that Donald Trump wannabe hairdo you've been sporting. I hate to be harsh but don't you realize that we can tell your balding. Take it like a proud retrosexual male and lose the swirl. It's not a good look for you. And for G-d's sake don't even think about a rug--we, the wives of retros and semi retros, can tell!

Is a retrosexual the gay John Wayne or the straight David Hasselhof?

OWJ, degas doesn't wear a dead racoon on his head like the Donald.

Degas, I never knew you were a country boy. I thought there were none of us left. And raising sheep, yet. Have you ever been caught in the sheepyard trying to make a ewe turn?

fluffykitty: might I suggest you make that comment directly to Degas, should you ever meet face to face?

We could then judge his competence in "dealing with the hard stuff". (See Retrosexual Code, Article 7.)

BTW, from what I have heard, the size of his posterior may require many, many feet kicking in unison to make an impact. Perhaps you could round up a troupe of can-can dancers to assist you. At least make the a**kicking fun for the poor misguided fellow.

I have the answer to why all that hair grows in the noses and ears of older gentlemen. It is because they are losing the hair on their heads, and it has to go some place.

You need a t-shirt which says:

"Where are my years going?

and why are they taking my hair with them?"

Whoops! Looks like fluffykitty's acid tongued comment went bye-bye. Thanks, Fodors!

Sic transit gloria, chat lunatique. Good luck with the next scratching post.

Degas, don't you pay no never mind to such hissy fit throwin'. Just keep on being your own strange self.

degas - you sound dreamy. do you have a single brother? I just knew the "windsor knot" would lure m_kingdom2 in. I confess it's like castling long, I've forgotten without practice, but I agree it's a must and you gotta love this list.

I discovered with dismay that I am not immune to the fashionistas. I was secretly delighted when I bought a pink jacket for my trip to Paris simply because it is my good color and it turned out to be "this year's color".Oh well. I didn't think to look for a cape. But I also could never have predicted the return of the poncho. You're not responsible for that, are you degas?

Oh Degas~I long to hear the snapping of your cape as you exit the room. Do nothing to that unibrow and do wear tights. Nothing,absolutely nothing could casue me to resist your advances while wearing those boots of spanish leather.

serious typo..that would be nothing would cause me to resist your advances
while wearing those boots of spanish leather. I remember "cad" is "Rick" spelled backwards and the tarmack remains our last chance.Vive la France!
