Hell, maybe you posted this and I forgot. Nevertheless:<br />"Years ago, a man who had matured beyond a certain age automatically knew how to do things. He knew how to mix a perfect Rob Roy, how to shine his brogues, how to woo a woman with no other weapon than his own wit, how to dress for a power breakfast with his boss; he knew, furthermore, how to spell, how to keep his pants from sagging, and how to shut the fuck up in a public space... Maybe if we all try just a little bit harder, the modern American man can be more than the chucklehead we see on countless sitcoms and commercials, crop-dusted with Doritos crumbs and stupefied in front of the flat-screen."Fordhttp://www.ruminationsonatheme.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-84041029858437453162011-02-05T17:34:44.096-08:002011-02-05T17:34:44.096-08:00Cheers to the illusion.Cheers to the illusion.Fordhttp://www.ruminationsonatheme.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
