(Now that I have stopped laughing.) Hmmmm. Not a boy anymore? Just begs the question of "so what makes a boy a man", doesn't it. Seems like there should be a whole thread on this somewhere, but not right now...but for sure, its more than a weekend of myth waving in an area to which you're driven by your Mom and watched over by State certified adults. Seems to me there are significant req's (at least physical, economic, emotional, behavioral, spiritual and intelectual)that might start with mowing the lawn and doing the laundry without feeling like you're doing someone else a favor and would continue with the absolute treatment of Mom and all other women with copious respect 24/7. (guys too, I guess) Maybe a weekend of watching Cary Grant, John Wayne and Gary Cooper movies?? I do like the Masked Mormon though...will the mask have a big ol' trumpet on top?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-71839994945601538172008-06-10T16:57:00.000-07:002008-06-10T16:57:00.000-07:00No worries, Elastic.

In the third place, it's just not as bad as they pretend it is going to be (shh, don't tell anyone). I think they are trying to play up the macho image.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049138813340800745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-45634628425548340242008-06-09T11:43:00.000-07:002008-06-09T11:43:00.000-07:00Bye J-Boy as you saunter off into the wild, blue y...Bye J-Boy as you saunter off into the wild, blue yonder.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-79583016837293160612008-06-09T11:42:00.000-07:002008-06-09T11:42:00.000-07:00My oldest daughter wrote this post revealing what ...My oldest daughter wrote this post revealing what her brother learned at Boy Scout Camp last year.<BR/><A HREF="http://violetpilot.blogspot.com/2008/03/snobbish-ducks-and-uncovering-secret-of.html" REL="nofollow">Girly Boy Scouts</A>elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-81604494421304713182008-06-09T11:39:00.000-07:002008-06-09T11:39:00.000-07:00I'm reading this as I just sent my 10 year old (an...I'm reading this as I just sent my 10 year old (another J-Boy!
