"Real Men"
Good weekend everyone. I've been thinking about this in relation to all of you regular NB posters and contributors for a few days now. What fictional character, in literature, television, or film, represents for you the ideal American man?
My response is Hank Hill, from my favorite show King of the Hill. He's culturally conservative but tolerant of those who aren't (so long as they show the same respect), takes good care of his family, works hard at everything he does (not for the money but for the reward of hard work), and goes to church every Sunday but makes sure to get home in time for kickoff. Fiercely loyal to his friends. Knows there's always time for a few beers at the end of the day. All-around, the epitome of middle-class masculinity.
Runners-up: Jim from The Office. Jaggers from Great Expectations
Sniff 'n the tears - Driver's seat - 1979
Binky Braveheart the Baby Bottle Master comes to a website he hates and whines, pouts, and shows off his code pink panties. Here is his new favorite video.
The Vet knows music, watcha gonna do.
Ann Nesby & Al Green - Put It On Paper
Yes. The Vet is gonna push this again. Because it is just about the coolest song ever outside of Mr. Shy's stuff.
NONA HENDRYX - Transformation (STEREO)
And more Vevo. I could kiss Vevo. Just bring him here. I'll do it. I swear. I will kiss Vevo.
Patti LaBelle - On My Own ft. Michael McDonald
Oh, and as usual, we have something for the whiny crybaby Binky Braveheart that runs off for months at a time.
Not because of the horrible acting or stilted plot or the huge cigarettes that Andrew McCarthy smokes. Nor is it because they miss the awesomeness that is the 80's. Real men cry because they realize all the people born after 1990 will not know the awesomeness that is the 80's or how The Vet made it so very awesome by having so much fun in the 80's.
The complete soundtrack to St. Elmo's Fire* just for The Vet's biggest and sweetest fans.
St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)
Young and Innocent (Sorry about the video)
Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire [Instrumental]
Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire (Just For A Moment)
Oh and yes yes yes, something for the Momma's Boy, Binky Braveheart that made this forum special just for us.
* You think The Vet is lying? Check Amazon.
Real Men have both Box Sets. Real Men love the Black Emanuelle (notice it is spelled different from the other Emmanuelle) movies not because of the horrible acting, poor plots, lousy camerawork, awful editing, or rampant nudity (well, ok, real men kinda like that) but Real Men love them because they get to listen to the awesome Nico Friggin' Fidenco soundtracks.
Emanuelle Nera (1975) Nico Fidenco - Black Emanuelle theme
Sorry, that is all they got on teh youtubes. Gonna have to buy the box sets to get the rest.
Oh, and here is something for Binky Braveheart that made this forum just for us.
Well, they say that in public. But Real Men have the entire collection of Simply Red CDs and they listen and laugh and cry when no one is around. Shhhhhh.
Simply Red - Money's Too Tight (To Mention)
Simply Red - Open Up The Red Box
Simply Red - Holding Back The Years
Simply Red - If You Don't Know Me By Now
Oh, and one for the creator of this forum, JasonC the biggest whiniest crybaby sissy troll evah.
Don't worry little whining sissy troll, someday, you will be a big girl grown up troll and you can stop wearing those diapers.
The Vet had a serious crush on a lead girl singer of a group that included guys back in the 80's. It was his only exception to the rule of listening only to girl groups.
Boy she sure did use the make-up quite masterfully. And those pipes sure were smooth. But, in the end, The Vet just couldn't quite commit. Now everyone knows The Vet is a caboose man. But seriously, ya gotta have something up front. And she seemed to be really lacking in that department. Come to think of it, she was kind of lacking in the caboose department too. But boy she sure could sing.
Culture Club - Church Of The Poison Mind
Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
Culture Club - I'll Tumble 4 Ya
Culture Club - Time (Clock Of The Heart)
Srsly, Someone bring me this VEVO guy. I luz him.
Whoops. Almost forgot Sissyboy JasonC who comes here to whine about the site and its contributors and founders as often as his emasculating spouse allows.
Here is a post for the 2 biggest sweeties here. cajun2 & Wrathful Brunette
Louis Armstrong What a wonderful world HD
Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance
Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
John Mellencamp - Jack & Diane
Sonny and Cher - I Got You Babe @ 1965
Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
Modern English - I Melt With You
U2 All I Want is YOU LIVE Milan
Elton John - Your Song (Red Piano Show - Live in Las Vegas)
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
Hat Tip - Musicouch.com - Twenty of the Sweetest Songs Ever - They suggested them. The Vet found the videos.
Of course there is The Vet's favorite sweet song, sorry it is from the muppets but the sound is good -
Ok. One for Binky Braveheart the original Diaper Troll. Who runs away for weeks and months at a time -
You had me at "hello".
Among the myriad of talents, who knew THE VET was also a paeleontologist.
He has recently discovered the fossil remains of RETARDIMUS TROLLICUS aka Troglodyt.
Wonder if The Vet can leap tall buildings in a single bound?
The tall building move out of his way when he comes through.
He does it before breakfast every morning and twice on Sundays, for a little light exercise. When he needs iron supplements he chews nails. When Chuck Norris needs @ss-kicking lessons he comes to The Vet.
In short, The Vet is so awesome...his cats worship him.
No joke.
I think his Dogs worship his Cats : \
Very sad? Here,, it's vise-versa
Charley Pride "Is Anybody Goin' To San Antonio" 1980 Rotter ----
Here I am walkin down Sixty Six wish she hadn't done me this way
Sleeping under a table in a roadside park a man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did sleeping in our king size bed
Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona
Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her
Wind whippin down the neck of my shirt like I aint got nothin on
But I'd rather fight the wind and rain than what I was fightin at home
Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona
Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her.
Yonder comes a truck with the U.S. mail people writin letters back home
Well Tommorrow she'll want me back again and I'll be just as gone
Is anybody going to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona
Any place is all right as long as I can forget I've ever known her
Holy molasses Batman. Sleeping under a table in a park with the possibility of waking up dead beats sleeping with the Misses. That man has woman troubles suntin bad.
Oh and here is something for JasonC who gave us this wunnerful place to have fun.
Glen Campbell - By The Time I Get To Phoenix
Oh and here is the obligatory video for JasonC who's whing we (wink wink) really miss.
For the real men ---
Seduction - Two To Make It Right
Seduction's Theme - buy the CD Nothing Matters Without Love (this is actually my favorite)
Oh and one for JasonC ---
If you're not here (by my side) - Menudo
Where is the GOOD Music?
JWF? 10 posts and not a single kickass music video?
Krista Branch is my new favorite!
Another request for the Vet, I can't find your cockroach story, can you tell it to us again? Please?
I work a compressed work week and I have an hour drive both ways. We will give Binky Braveheart, the real manly wannabe trollie, what he so desperately deserves.
In the meantime, here is the funniest music video on youtubes.
You ROCK.
lucky I read the "funniest" and didn't have any thing to drink in front of me.
Don't forget the Binky curse though. Trolls only last less than six months after Binky comes to their defense. Sad really. Sad. The Binky curse. Binky came to balboa's defense after I jumped on him for not filling in the subject line. Jeeze, you would think he ain't been told time and time again.
Oh wait. I have told him time and time again.
++++
OK, three-letter boy. DelsaJune 16, 2009 - 12:14 ET by balboa
OK, three-letter boy. Delsa said she was offended as a "former slutty flight attendant," as if Letterman had accused ALL flight attendants of being slutty. He didn't.
++++
Still have not figured out the subject line huh?June 16, 2009 - 12:26 ET by JWF
It is called initials pinhead. Comedy goldmine joking about someone's initials, huh? And you wonder why they call you a pinhead.
Solid Solid Solid evidence there. Delsa made no such claim. Walk in to any court in the land and whip out your as if statement. Why I think you would revolutionise the way we do law in this country.
Your honor, it is not as if balboa has a tiny little head that can not contain a fully functioning brain, but in addition it as if Letterman has developed a rash from all of the butt kisses from the lips on that tiny pinlike head.

Kennedy claimed that he tried to swim down 7 or 8 times. Whether or not this is true, I don't know, and neither do you.
While I am sure you would have no problem rescuing someone trapped in a car underwater in the middle of the night, immediately after the shock of the accident and a possible concussion (and doing this 3-4 minutes following the accident), some of us simply aren't quite so superhuman.

Binky Bravehearts' brother?August 27, 2009 - 08:37 ET by JWF
Awful brave of him to try so many times, huh binky? Bravery, a subject you are very familiar with.
I is confused Binky, your first post in weeks of self imposed exile is to kinda sorta come to the defense of Sen Kennedy in the death of a passenger in a car he was driving?
Some defense. Remind me to find another lawyer should binky ever walk into the courtroom. Are you saying he was lying binky? Whether or not this is true, I don't know, and neither do you.
Sincerely,
a Veteran of a 1000 psychic wars.
Gonna need Binky's post to put this one in perspective

While I was disappointed toSeptember 6, 2009 - 12:20 ET by JasonC
While I was disappointed to learn that these were not the poster's ideas, but rather a cut-and-pasted op/ed - it became pretty apparent about halfway through, before I even read the replies - it doesn't change the fact that the comments therein are wonderful in their incisiveness and ability to cut to the quick of the new paranoiac fringe right. Both Reagan and Bush 41 did exactly what Obama is planning. We are currently watching the mouth-frothing hysterics dictate the terms of the debate, as the idea that Obama's speech will be some Orwellian mind-control exercise is basically being taken as a given, no doubt by the same sect of uneducated people who spent the past two months shrieking inane, demented opinions at their own elected representatives in public, and openly taking their marching orders from Beck and Limbaugh.
To the more sane and intelligent members of the right, congratulations... you've allowed your side to be run by basically the same morass of self-righteous idiocy that comprised the "Bush=Hitler, etc" segment of the left for 8 years.
Well done.
+++++
Binky Braveheart speaks his mind.September 6, 2009 - 13:24 ET by JWF
No. Binky is not over teh tops!
Binky Braveheart - paranoiac fringe rights! free teh paranoiacs! mouth-frothing! frosty mouth frothing milkshakes! hysterics! womens! womens hysterics! Orwellian mind-control! I is not hysterics! exercise! cults! sects! uneducated people! inanes! I is not obsessed with Beck and Limbaugh! I is obsessed with Coulter! morass of self-righteous idiocy! It is Sunday. Everyone go to morass! Bush=Hitler! 8 years! I is not still focused on Bush. 8 years! I is well done. Stick a fork in me and turn me over. I forgots teh dementeds!

Binky: I reject your premise that I put down everyday regular Americans on a regular basis. I put down those on the right
Binky: new paranoiac fringe right... mouth-frothing hysterics.... sect of uneducated people... shrieking inane, demented opinions... ...taking their marching orders from Beck and Limbaugh. same morass of self-righteous idiocy...
Nah, Binky is right. He does not put down his fellow citizens at every opportunity. Nah. Not at all. Move along people.
K. Binky. Tell us all now how illegal aliens won't get government health care. Then tell us how Obama is gonna fight all teh fraud, waste and abuse just as soon as the Health Care Bill is signed.
But wait Binky, iffin there is so much fraud wasted and abuse, why are we waiting until a bill is signed. For gawd sake Binky, you and Uncle Obama go fight that NOW! Why wait?
The Health Care Bill WAS passed. Where is all the fraud, waste, and abuse fighting Binky? You promised.

JasonC - bum.bum.bum ---- MATHMASTER!July 9, 2009 - 07:15 ET by JWF
Binky Braveheart: But he was elected, by an overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens...
He got 69 Million votes. 53% of the vote*.
JasonC new math everybody! 53% is now OVER-FRIGGIN-WHELMING! BOOM! TAKE THAT! BAM! He got 3% over FRIGGIN HALF/HALF! 50% + 3% OVER-FRIGGIN-WHELMING! SNAP!
Now, come on guys, I know, I am not being fair. He did say CITIZENS, not voters. The population of the U.S is 305 million, and 69 million of that or 22% is INDEED considered OVER-FRIGGIN-WHELMING according to JasonC's new math people!
OK. OK. OK. Maybe he mispoke. Maybe he meant to say this...
But he was elected, by an overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens that were ill-informed, stupid, or card carrying socialists...
Now that statement is factually true. 65 million of the 69 million democrat voters are ill-informed, stupid, or card carrying socialists. The other 4 million are dead, homeless multiple voters, or completely fictitious. THANKS ACORN!
JasonC - opposer of war (boy scout honor badge - war opposer (13 Dec 2003***)) & now mathmaster!

Iz notta trollie. Iz real manz. Like monkeypeople real manz. Not look like all other trolliez nah.
The Word Bully Vet sez all trolls fail to fill out the subject line, time for trollie whines ---
Binky Braveheart: ...your usual mentally-balanced way, for not filling out the subject line to your liking. Dead Zippers: There's no need for a subject line. The site should get rid of them entirely. Dead Zippers (replying to a non-Veet): Because as usual I did not use the subject line. mandrake: Hey VET, I filled in the subject line! Binky Braveheart: Now go forth, and rid NB Land of those who dare not fill in subject lines!
The Word Bully Vet repeated a line when slapping around a trollie, time for trollie whines ----
Binky Braveheart: ...vaguely-insulting ramblings over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again... Dead Zippers: Do you cut and paste previous posts, because I'm noticing... Binky Braveheart: It's Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V action at its finest.
The Word Bully Vet posted in my hearty touchy Love Love forum and broke it, time for trollie whines ----
Dead Zippers: ...you along with JWF spammed what I thought was going to be a decent Christmas charity forum. Binky Braveheart: Post rapier-wit insults on completely apolitical, three-year-old forums! Dead Zippers: This is a serious thread, Vet. Please don't derail this one. nwahs: This is also the home of the little sewer monkey, FWJ.
Did you fake charm The Vet to get him off your back and on his buddy list then knife him in the back first chance you got? Think you are the only trollie to ever do that? Time for trollie whines ---
Binky Braveheart: OMG, look at this common ground we have! Can we be friends again??? Dead Zippers: Uh, you friended me. I've never sent a friend invite. Binky Braveheart: Just kidding. Wanna be buddies?
Word Bullies getting you down? Don't fill your diaper. Instead make it Time for trollie whines ----
Binky Braveheart" Da Vet responds with unbelievably pointless, shrill, and all-around douchey comment... Dead Zippers: No, more spam from the Vet, more insults, more lies, and everyone laughing.
Admins are mean to trollies and nice the word bullies. Not far nah. Time for the trollie whines ---
Binky Braveheart: ...if the NB administrators rolled with an iota of fairness...JWF would have been booted a dozen times over...
How did you find THIS thread?? It's nearly four years old.... dang.
Poor JasonC, took him this long to finally get a response. A Vet thrashing, no less. :)
- Shy Grooves
But any forums you created were still there in your history, commentless. Binky is so butt hurt by the word bullies, he rarely posts. Only 2 since the New NewsBusters changeover. It was easy to see his old forums on his tracking page.
Someone forgot to tell Binky I rule downstairs. Binky is in my house now. Speaking of Binky, look what I found ---
