Thread: Boots

I tell you what (just to change the subject a little) 'My Favorite Things' is a great hiking song. Many a time I've laboured up a steep, rugged, harsh, Australian incline with a pack on my back belting out that old classic...

That song about the deer's not bad, either...

...and who doesn't like whiskers on kittens? Or geese with the moonlight on their wings (not that I've ever witnessed it, but it's an engaging thought) or brown paper packages tied up with string? Come to think of it, possibly, it's a rather silly song. It's like singing "I like nice things". Well, yes, so do MOST people...(not all though, I warn you. There are some who couldn't give a toss about juvenile feline vibrissae, or packaging transportable items sensibly for the postal service or GEESE even, let alone their wings and how the moonlight (reputably) is pleasant to view reflected off them...

It says a lot about the man if he cant admit to liking nice things, and wanting to dress up as a tranny cowboy in some cases :-) in fact a man who can't admit to liking nice things is not as much of a man as he thinks he is.

Oh I 100% agree. We seem to be at a position (in society) where liking flowers (for instance) is odd. It appears to me that life has regressed to playground politics (Johnny is 'gay' because he said he likes art so he needs to be bashed). I think many people have very, very narrow 'boundaries' that they seek to live within, and many are laughable parodies of movies from the '80s.

I'd like to live for a while in a completely different society. Of course, within two weeks I'd be ousted for being annoying (unless I was successful with my coup) but it'd be a worthwhile experience. I'm thinking South America or Tibet.

you might be ousted for being indecisive. I stopped worrying overmuch what MOST people think of me,I have come to the conclusion thatI am strange by most peoples standard, but that my oddness is harmless, i.e. singing at work, ironing my workshirts, polishing my work boots, making stuff, straight razor shaving, these are a few of my odd things.

Over here in Newtown, it's a bit the opposite. It's the women who dress like tranny cowboys/hillbillies and can't admit to liking nice things. You should see some of the facial hair they've got going. I'm really inclined to introduce them to the straight razor.
Men just seem to get around in those god awful tight jeans with growth all over their faces. It used to upset me, living in such a place where beauty is prohibited, but now when I see them it doesn't register anymore.

I think we three might be the only clean shaven in this country.

well i think your missing jimbo, mick r and a few of the new boys from my neck of the woods amongst others. tight jeans look ok if you are rake thin, but even the sugestion of fat and they look awful, I really don't want to know what their junk look like but they seem to want everyone to know.

Well look at you three Carl, Frankenstein and edhewit, the three of you have totally destroyed the much maligned male chauvinist Aussie male, as a Welsh Man and much traveled lover of European Art and culture I've now got rethink my views because I really believed that everyone who lived in Australia actually looked like Paul Hogan and dressed in Cowboy boots and snakeskin coats and carried a huge blade around with him, I need sometime to get my head around this new Aussie Metro sexual Man, Art loving good taste in clothing stylish, and yes I almost forgot to add he also likes flowers, now as a big rugby fan I'm going to e-mail the coach of the British & Irish lions who are playing a test series against the Aussies this weekend and disclose this information, so if your team loses the third test and series you have only yourselves to blame, I forgot to add the British and Irish Lions contain 10 Welshmen int their team.
