and NO he's not just telling me what I wanna hear.

Oh the funny games we play. We may figure out the rules to not completely piss each other off, but neither side ever truly understands what motivates the other sex eh?

"Why? Why would you do that?" <---- *Blank look from me*

After extensive research, I have determined that I am happier whipped than having to do my own whipping.

When I passed my full licence test and wanted to spend $12K on a bike I got the look. So I bought a bike around $6K instead.

Now it's time for my wife to upgrade.....guess what? We're looking at circa $14K bikes.

So long as I get to take her new bike on the track I'll not complain.

Now that would push the line with me.

I think I'll be taking my bike round before I ever let Cajun near it...

Reminds me of that ep from Tooltime when Tim and his cohorts were in the tool shop...discussing "that look"

Blardy funny sketch that. And seeing the look on Al's face when the missus of the tool shop owner gave him "that look" was priceless. Heck she had it so down well, even I did the

There ya go, RM!
Have fun doing your own whipping.

It's not all bad - I only have the VFR because the vifferbabe insisted I buy it when we were window-shopping for a helmet for her.
And we only have the home theatre system because I was window-shopping of a pair of new speakers and the vifferbabe got carried away with sound quality. Came home with a two-amplifier Onkyo receiver, 5-speaker system and 300W subwoofer...

So, what's your woman come up with, RM?

**Trudes** · 9th August 2007, 15:46

Just checking to make sure my hubby hasn't posted in here (yet). As you were.

Reading the buyer comments on the website, one guy brought a missile launcher to his office and another brought a radio-controlled airship and they had titanic battles. Surely that has to be good for mental health and a positive environment?

When I mentioned it to Mrs B, I got THE LOOK which is well-known to us males, accompanied by hands on hips, much sighing and looking over the top of glasses – you know the routine. It appears that my suggestion is a BAD THING and that hell will freeze over before it happens unless I dip into my own wallet (and that won’t be the end of it either from bitter past experience).

Now what I want to know is what’s wrong with a guy having a youthful outlook on life? I would have thought that women would have welcomed a bit of youthful enthusiasm?

I have not yet given up and come October, I may yet make another post on the subject.

mine just tells me boys never grow old their toys just get more exspensive and "no you can't have it"
of cause i put my foot down

Ah, THE LOOK, a personal favourite of mine!

It could be THE LOOK which means "What a great idea, I'll just pretend like he's an idiot, and then he wont think that Ive got it for him".

If this is the case, and you have already purchased your own, it's definitely better to have two rocket launchers than one!

You're welcome to try: "It'll save us money in the long term"
I've had pretty good success with this in the past.

Ooh - I just had a sudden thought (yeah, just the one).
What if (wottif, wottif....) Mrs Blackbird gave you The Look because your suggestion was something from an electronics shop? It may be that for her shopping in "one of those shops" would be as fraught as you going into a lingerie boutique would be.
