If I'm not mistaken the poles open for the men on April 4th. There is no early voting for you guys. You'll have to take your votes back and wait your turn, right ladies?

Hi. My name is RWood and I'm a male.
I enjoy a good pair of legs and a fine turn of the head
Beautiful hair, a shapely (&^$
Perky )*&%s

I could go one but this on-line censor seems to be getting in the way of some of the words.

My name is RickyMaveety and I'm neutered.
I enjoy long walks on the beach by myself and the song stylings of Spike Jones

Tongue, nope. Don't like that. My wife loves a good tongue (har har, as in cow tongue, either cooked or smoked and sliced and put on bread), but I am hesitant to try. As for eating my own tongue, I guess I'd like that even less.

I allow myself the luxury of making fun of non-cooking men since I'm not one of them. In our household it is me doing the cooking since I both love it and am better at it than my wife, who has managed to destroy numerous pots simply bringing water to a boil. Her earning more than me makes our whole setup rather unusual or untraditional.
But a lot of guys are now into cooking and share the cooking duties with their partners. Which is how it should be ... it's always funny listening to men talk about how they make a mean steak or make the best risotto on the planet and then admitting to just doing it on mother's day and on their wife's birthday.
But this is drifting off topic.
Back to shapely legs ... I prefer the part further up

Oh .... and you really haven't seen cranky people who drink and smoke until you've spent some time in Iceland. They put damn near every other people to shame in those events.

So .... you've never heard of Homer, Aristotle, Plato .... those guys?? Oh, and Sappho .... mustn't forget her.

Oh I looooove moussaka

Greece USED to be the place of philosophers and poets, just not anymore

Blegh, I can't stand ouzo, but I don't like anything with anise.

And I say this with the understanding that I have a whole raft of German ancestors, of whom I am quite proud.

I agree for greece as inventor of philosophy but not for poetry, in fact poetry in old greece was very poor and they have called nearly any literature "poetry".

Germany as "Nation of oompa bands"...hm, i've to think about this. You could be right.

"nation of beer and sausage"

This is mere prejudice (or envy because our beer is the best

)...

You're honestly telling me that you consider the Iliad and the Odyssey - two of the "foundation stones" of western literature - to be "poor poetry"? They are amongst the greatest "epic" poems ever written!

Lit 101 in university. Prof added so much "inferred between the lines" dribble that it took any enjoyment out of reading it.

WDE.

It loses a lot in translation. You really have to read it in the original Greek to truly appreciate it. For a start, no translation can really do justice to the hexameter verse.
