What's going on?

It may be the high rate of divorce in this country which is causing more and more boys to head toward maturity without a good male role model. Or it may be just that dudes these days have a lot more estrogen running through their system. Or it just may be that I have been spending way too much time at the gym and I am starting to get annoyed. But the following should be rules for dudes to live by.
1. There is no need for separate shampoo and conditioner. If you use them, every dude thinks you’re gay.
2. The locker room is not a place to chat. Nobody wants to know, nor cares what you did this weekend. If you chat in the locker room, not only does every other dude thinks your gay, you are annoying the hell out of the person who you are bothering.
3. Take and hour and a half out of your day to work out without your cell phone. When you stop your workout to answer your phone, nobody thinks you look cool or important. Instead you look like a moron.
4. If you are drinking a sports drink at the gym. DO NOT DO SO FROM A STRAW!!!!
5. Smiling is only acceptable at the gym if you are flirting with the hot blonde chick on the stair climber. If you are smiling any other time, you really look like you are special ed.
6. Spandex……NO
7. No you cannot cut in and use the bench really quick. I do not want your funk on it when I finish my set.
Ok now I am done ranting

you're supposed to pee in the showers - the urine keeps you from getting athlete's foot

All very true. Some people don't get it. I hate when people talk to me when I'm working out. I'm not there to socialize.

Adding a couple from today
8. When you are 40, no wait never wear your old high-school football practice jersey to the gym to work out. You look like an idiot.
9. Piling more weight on the bar than you can lift does not make you look tough, it makes you look like a loser with poor form. Only lift what you can do with proper form. (Hint. Why do you think they have all of those mirrors around?)

Gotta agree VERY STRONGLY with #8.
No man should ever wear a sports jersey past the age of 12 unless you are playing on some sort of team. YOur old, get over it and quit trying to relive your youth. I needed to rant too!!!

You will also find that generally speaking, these are men in their 40's, who still live with thier parents, drive out of date sports cars that are beat up and still have their Mommy's pack their lunch for them in their A-team lunch box.
Also, these men will also know the phrase "comb-over" within 10 years.

I'm pretty sure I have all mine tucked away somewhere... and I know I have my letterman's jacket hanging in the closet

I just wish I could fit into them!

The weird thing is, the dude I saw today looked fairly normal. (Except for the Melba High school Jersey.

Noticed I said men. I love ya Tiki. Its cute for a girl/woman but its sad for a guy. I say this though, and I wear grass skirts and coconut bra's. Maybe that is worse
I never got a letterman's jacket in high school. I probably threw out the patches for it since I never got the jacket. Guess I'm just a FREAK!!!

I threw my s*** out when I was about 22 or so. I wasn't going to wear it, so why pack the s*** around?

I have to admit, I still have some hockey jersey's from High School that i will sleep in, in the winter BUT i would never wear it out in public. No way in hell will I shop for pj's, so the old jersey's seem to do the trick.
Crap, the secret's out. I think I will hold a bonfire tonight.
