Now I know that the 'blue language' needs to be toned down, but I'm not entirely sure on how to acheive that.

Suggestions happily welcomed.

Well done!!!

I haven't laughed so much in a PR thread!! Thank you!!!

Harrumph!

Blimey.


* looks again *


Is that you, Betty? Didn't we agree not to hang our laundry in public?


Tsk.

PS - On a more serious note - I wonder if this is (*ahem*) 'factual' enough for the EG From my POV, it is spot on, oyu understand, but there are some.... Oh, well, no doubt you'll find out soon enough

'Spot on'?

Double Harrumph!

There, there, dear Mr D.

*lays a trail of beer, swords and sheds*

Here you are, dear

Make shorter,

reading that much make my 2/3 larger brain much ouchie!

I appreciate that it's not exactly factual, and that it's unlikely ever to make it onto the Hootoo site proper, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have a laugh does it?

And for the record I am a man (and fit almost none of these stereotpyes)

And now the sensible reply!

*Takes beer and swords, leaves the sheds.*

I think the factualness needs some improvement. For example, the statement that men have no emotion - have you ever seen a man after his pro-football team lost the Super Bowl?

It's brilliant, and I see no reason why this shouldn't have a place in the guide, like these entries:
A14310569 Supporting British Tennis Players at Wimbledon

A13930805 Watching England in the Football World Cup

Ah, but, there *is* a forum just for this kind of writing... hootoo is not *only* about the EG, you know (looks around furtively, in case anyone overhears)

*hands over a folded piece of paper*

<./>writing-alternative</.>

oooh my word - conspiracy in my first hour. What is the world coming to.

Unfortunately I don't have time to read through all that jazz at the mo, but I'll give it a butchers when I get the chance.

*elbows Wilma out of the way*

It ain't *all* about the Guide, but alot of it is.

*holds up big sign with arrow*
Writing-Guidelines

*places big dust-sheet over Leo and sign*

I really enjoyed this and I agree with B'El, why not?

Thanks all.

I've tried reading the guidelines and explanations of the various facets of 'hootoo', and quite frankly I'm far more baffled now than I was when I hadn't read them.

So, in conclusion, I'll leave this here, and you can havea read andwe'll just see what happens eh?

Shippers

ah, the good old days... *reminisces*

I'd push for this to have EG status.

It's entertaining, semi-factual, semi-facetious and semi - hang on the first sentence mentions male members!

Brilliant, look forward to reading more of your work in the future

I liked it. It's very true and very funny. It's just not very reverent. And in the absence of anything else here about men, it'll do just fine.

Reality check: quite a few of the preoccupations you mention (e.g. drinking and cars) are shared equally by gay men. They like to have a laught with their mates just as much as us het blokes do. The only difference is they take them home to bed afterwards.

They take their cars to bed?
