Thanks Metalhead!
You look like a cross between Jesus and Dee Snyder. That is very cool. I had a band, so I can appreciate a welcome from the Metal Crowd. :o)

The band's name was "King Flush & The Toilets".
We were hard rock, rather than metal but Metal is cool. Metallica does a real cool version of "Whiskey in the jar" by Thin - Lizzy.

Rock on, Metal Messiah!

Thanks again for the welcome for the additional kind people that chose to say hello since I last posted. Anybody that would care to chit-chat on a group or individual basis would be welcome to do so by me.

StormMessenges, it's cool that you are from Winston-Salem! I remember travelling thru there and getting thrown out of a Krispy Kreme!
As you know and others here may not, Winston-Salem is home to the original Krispy-Kreme donut shop.

I was in my 20s at the time, (I may as well have been 15, maturitywise at the time.) I got lost travelling and wound up in Winston-Salem by accident. So I go in there and asked the manager for directions. After some extra conversation somehow crept out, I was asked if I had ever tried a Krispy-Kreme straight off of the line.
I replied, "No, but I have had one out of the microwave". I was then told that it wasn't the same. OK, I'll bite. I bought several along with some milk and some coffee.

No sooner than I took my 1st bite......."OOOOhhhhhhh ssssshhhhhheeeeeeeeeiiiiitttt! Damn! Dis sh*t tastes gooder tham a mutha f*cka !!!" Looking back, I can see that that was NOT the best line of conversation to be heard in a Sunday crowd there. However, when you 1st have that donut off of the line.....you just loose all control. Keep in mind that I was in my 20s. This sort of example makes me laugh both evil and hysterically when some femme on here today who is 20 something tells me she wants a man her age. Mmmmmmmm, no she doesn't. She just thinks she does. Fortunately for me, I am just as open to dating gals my age and older ones too.

It was rather embarrassing getting jerked up by the arm and escorted out, being told to never come back, however, I am no longer a donut virgin, so I won't be repeating this.

Care to go to Krispy-Kreme, Stormy?

Thank you, everyone!
That is a very kind welcome and it is well received!


Remember the TV character Blossom?
Someone that looks and acts like that would be my dream but someone here could have none of those features and be a winner in my book. I guess we'll see. If you know of a lady crying in her pretzels because someone hung a coat on her nose and walked off, send her my way and I'll try and show some luv.

Hi.
My name is Shawn, I am a working stiff.
My age varies by what day it is or whatever kind of day that I am having.
I don't drink, smoke or do drugs and I am Conservative 'n proud. I play guitar, hunt, fish and tinker with classic automobiles.

My sense of humor is abundant, personalitywise, I have been described as a mix of John Candy and Dr. Becker.

Funny but true, I like a big, Jewish nose on a woman. I think that it is both sexy and scholarly looking. I am not Jewish, BTW....just love the noses.

My religion is a Conservative brand of Christianity where people in church roll on the floor and swing from the chandaliers.

Other stuff? Well, I am old fashioned, kind and considerate but definately NOT nice. If you want to make me sour real quick, tell me that I am nice. I can assure you that I'll go the other way.

I have a big, black cat and I would like a Bassett Hound.

Guess I'll stop here 4 now.

Hi Ya'll!
Shawn

Well, that's the other 1/2 of the equasion.
You see, "nice" and "jerk" are opposite extreme ends. Women don't like extremes unless you are rich, a Hollywood pretty boy or both. Even then, you better sign a pre-nup!
If you are just a plain, ol' working stiff like me, just be you, let your light shine and hit the MIDDLE of these 2 extremes, NOT the ends!
Be "jice". i.e. jerky + nice. (1/2 of each)
This doesn't guarantee that one will get lucky but it does guarantee happiness with oneself and that's worth more than all the poontang in the world.

I gotta run. It's time to be jice to somebody.

Amen, Amen.
The thing to shoot for is polite.
Many people confuse nice with polite but they are 2 totally different animals!
I am so glad to finally hear a woman preach this bit of wisdom for once.
"Nice" will get yo' butt walked on.

Hi.
I can tell you that I am caring, considerate and polite.

Nice? No way!!! I paid for that one years ago and learned my lesson well. This does not mean that I am mean, however. Far from it.

You know how "hybrid" is the buzz word with cars these days? It is also an asset in a personality.

I am "jice".
A little jerky mixed with nice.

I cannot tell you how to be but jice sure works for me. I guess that being a musician and a comedian kind of helps.

Don't beat women but don't take any feminist crap either.
