My feminine side

[jimi]

Dear Auntie Jean, after advice from a forumitess I've been exploring my femimine side .. however I think all the lads think I'm going poofy. Is that to be expected.

Confused

Talking of poufs

I'm reading a book from a more innocent age, 'Hostage to Fortune', the autobiography of Ernest Gann.

At one point he refers to sleeping under a thick Geman pouf.

It took me a second or two to work it out.

Re: Talking of poufs

I find it amazing how quickly the conversation can degenerate into the smutty. like jimi, I too am desirous of getting more in touch with my feminine side - I hung the curtains in the forepeak this season which is a first for me. I'm trying to feel good about myself and then some shackledragging ozzie goes and calls me an old poof - I'm not old and this stereotypical thinking really is 20th century mindset. Add to that TK banging on about german poufs and the whole thing seems to have gone bottoms up
In this age where we are encouraged to embrace diversity and respect gender issues, I am just a little concerned that there is a tendency for the male yachting fraternity to avoid some of these issues - Jimi and I are proud of our emancipation and rather than mock- I do feel you'd all feel better if you allowed yourselves to grow and develop rather than sticking to your policies of firm entrenchment.
Hugging you in my head

It must be the sense of aimlessness in your life at the moment. Don't worry Jimi, when you get your rudder I predict that you will find the power to regain control of the direction and success of your life, and your masculinity will regenerate itself.
Now if you would like to cross my palm with silver......

Re: Talking of poufs

Well, what to say?

Do you know how they separated the men from the boys on the old sailing ships?



With a crowbar! /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

Re: Talking of poufs NB

Gross.....

"This guy decides to join the Navy. On his first day of service, he gets aquatinted with all the facilities around the ship he will be serving on. The guy asks the sailor showing him around, "What do you guys do around here when you get really horny after months of being out at sea?", to which the other replies, "Well, there is this barrel on the upper deck, just pump your **** in the side with the hole."

Weeks pass, and the new guy is getting real horny and remembers the barrel. He climbs to upper deck and sees the barrel. Flings his shlong out and starts s*****g the barrel. Its simply the best feeling he had ever experienced, it was truly a success!

After he was done, zipped up and merrily walking along, the guy who originally told him about the barrel walks by. "That barrel really was great! I could do it every day!"

To which the other crew member replies, "Yeah, you can every day except Thursday." Confused, the new guy asks why, to which the other guy replies, "Because its your turn in the barrel on Thursday."

Maybe the problem is not so much with the rudder as with the stock...

Jeez Jimi you are letting these sheilas get at yah. The girlies think they are going to take the place over and I kinda wunda wot the place is coming to.

I just go away for a couple of days in Oz doing some boating and having a good few tinnies plus some vino with me mates and even the Scottish lads on here start folding. Me old Oz mate Banjo Paterson (bless his long deceased soul) has given me permission to give a snatch of his pome "Jock" a butchering for you and here it is:

Yes - its Jock - Scotch Jock
He's the fellow who can give or take a knock
For he's hairy and he's hard
And his feet are by the yard
And his face is like the face what's on a clock
So when the bullets fly you will mostly hear the cry -
'Send for Jock!'

Nothing about knitting socks or washing more than once a week in that - Get a grip on yerself.

Re: Oh dear. Could this be catching.

I've recently found myself doing a bit of light sewing and using knives and forks and plates and things. Even when I'm onboard alone. I even took a Fray Bentos pie out of the tin the other day. I'm absolutely mortified my oillies clash with my navlights too.
