Sissy? Well, it takes one to know one.

Sigh.

"It's the same ol' story, yeah
every where I go, I get slandered, libeled,
I hear words I never heard in the Bible
And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine,
two steps away from the county line,
just tryin' to keep my customers satisfied, satisfied." (simon & garfunkel)

Remember the dude who accused me of being tamed? Well, he's back and flinging "it" far and wide. Today, he practically called me a sissy. He said, specifically, that my posts about diapers were "womanish." Just so ya'll know, I have a really quite appropriate and insulting antedote I could insert here - but, have decided to refrain in the name of good manners.

Also, in the name of keeping my "customers" satisfied, I predict that the panthers and the steelers will match up in the super bowl - with the panthers choking and the steelers trampling them. But, don't use my predictions for a basis for any bets you may place.

Guessing the winners of future athletic events is an interesting exercise. You could consider reams and reams of team and game stats to compare and contrast the competitors. You can factor in home field advantages, blind loyalties, past experience with and performances in the big games, etc. You could even come up with some anthomorphocized rational based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the mascots of the competitors (put a panther and a seahawk in a cage, likely the panther would win). But, with all human endeavors, there is always an unpredictable factor of the humans themselves.

I'd rather "gamble" on ebay - that way if I lose, I don't spend any money.
