The only reason our prime minister was voted in was because he impressed a few people with his barbie handling skills at the parlimentary lunch.

Or is it all the Fire and the Pointy-Shinies and the Tools and Implements and this big manly grill? I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

[img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] I know, Illumina, it really is a testosterone driven thing, methinks! I like to barbecue in the summer but my fiance will get all 'male' and grunt things like 'fire good!' at me while planning his next culinary feat at the barecue! [/QUOTE]I've got four words for ya that should explain it all!


Fire! Steel! Meat! Beer!

Only a true testosterone genius could've been smart enough to combine the nectar o' the gods with the food o' the gods, using our favorite building material while including primitive pyromanial gratification! Wow! I can feel my genetic material devolving just talking about it! [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]


Nuff said! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I think that about sums it up, Sir K. An activity that involves fire, steel, meat, and beer... what more could you ask for?

Ugh!

[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I sense an upsurge in testosterone and a need for fire extinguishers! Someone keep the hoses handy.

If we explain this to you will you explain all the things about females we dont understand (Like everything)?

If I told you everything I'd have to kill you.
I'll tell you something, though... Many of the things I did that confused and confounded my ex ("Why do you take so long to get ready for a date?" "Why do you have to analyze everything I say?") were sources of things that mystified and endeared him to me ("You always smell so nice..." "You always seem to know what I'm trying to say.") This is par for the course for many women, and even some men.

That's it!! You could easily be an Aussie male! Note the monosyllabic dialogue? Your undergoing the genetic changes as we speak!

Hmmm Illumina, in my last relationship I was always the one doing the analysing which got on my gf's nerves! Is that supposed to be a feminine thing? Analysing I mean. I just put it down to my engineering tendencies (since I'm almost a qualified engineer).
