Any combination of those words, or all four of them put together can get a guy out of almost any situation... check these out:
"You forgot our anniversary again!"
"Oh... right - sorry..."
"When are you going to clean up all that sawdust you left on the kitchen table???"
"Oh, yeah..."
And so on...

| On my mom's last appointment for a mammogram, she kept saying how her appointment was a last-minute thing that they had to "squeeze her in" for. I have yet to determine whether she knows precisely what it was that she was saying.
As for "disgusting" natural processes, do your worst! Some of us aren't so easily intimidated by the sight of the word "menstruation".

| The Rules
1) The female always makes the rules.
2) The rules are subject to change at any time without prior notification.
3) No male can possibly know all the rules.
4) If the female suspects the male knows all the rules, she must immediately change some or all the rules.
5) The female is never wrong.
6) If the female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding which was a direct result of something the male did or said wrong.
7) If Rule 6 applies, the male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding.
8) The female can change her mind at any given point in time for any reason.
9) The male must never change his mind without express written consent from the female.
10) The female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.
11) The male must remain calm at all times, unless the female wants him to be angry or upset.
12) The female must not, under any circumstances, let the male know whether or not she wants him to be angry or upset.
13) Any attempt by the male to document these rules could result in severe bodily harm.
14) If the female has PMS, all rules are null and void

| Dern. I have never ascribed to those "rules" and I don't know that many women who do. I guess my problem with a "women's section" is that it tends to encourage the misconception that women (or men) all think alike.

| Yes... all women don't think alike, but we do have common issues that we can help each other with.

There are many things in our lives that do not involve men. Most of us have very few issues around men in our lives.
Being a woman fencer isn't a whole lot different than being a male fencer, but there are certain issues that arise that are specific to our gender.

| Speaking of things such as nail polish (which I don't wear), last night at the club everybody was looking at my new transparent mask and I realized that if the FIE wants to make fencing telegenic, now the female finaliists might have to prepare for the DE by putting on eye make-up. Jeepers. Shades of Tammy Faye Bakker. Do you suppose there will be a rush to get eyeliner tattooed on? Not that I would ever bother with make-up under such circumstances, but I know people who would.

"I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille." | The Tammy Faye Bakker look might work to your advantage in distracting your opponent.

| Are you talking about repainting, or a design? And is your mask the standard black, or a special colour?

| A design.. perhaps a face, something to distract and psyche out my opponent. Something to make someone feel leery and uncomfortable. My sister is an established artist, I can get any design I want.
