Watching football playoffs brings the male out in me.

Next Weeks Saints Vs Bears is going to be a big one around here. Double big since the local team is playing the team that beat my home town team. Gonna have to get the chips, dip, bear, and surround sound ready for that one. Maybe go out and buy a saints jersey.

You could probably just sell the bear and buy a jersey and some beer for the game.   

Gotcha!  Your turn.  With my luck, it will probably be something from this very post...hmmmmpft

Personally, I had mixed emotions about Romo and the Cowboys.  I feel really bad for Romo (maybe not a lot as I'm sure his millions are giving him SOME comfort), but I am glad the Cowboys are out of the playoffs.  It's all you heard about around here.  Will they make it to the Superbowl?  Will T.O. explode with insanity?  Are you having the same breakfast as Roy Williams?  On and on...over and over...endless chatter about stuff even the most rabid fan couldn't care less about.  Still, it really sucks to lose the way they did.

Go Saints!  I always did love a Cinderella story.

Yes it would be a great story considering the record of losing 13 games last year, plus the rebuilding of the city.

It would be good for the NFL if they win.

Of course I am sure there are Bears, Colts, Patriot fans that would wish otherwise. After all, the NFL isnt supposed to be a charity that gives wins and championships. It'll come down to skill, luck, and smart playing.

Had a wonderful thought.  Would it be typical of an androgyne to be watching the game, get mad and throw the bowl of Cheetos (OK, SACK of Cheetos) at the TV, scream and curse at the Referees, then get up, put on their apron and sweep up the floor, bring more beer and Cheetos to the gang watching the game, make a nice little sandwich tray with the bread placed JUST RIGHT and don't forget the pickles, then sit back after the game and hand out cigars because their team won?

When you're androgyne, there is none of this "[Wo]men, can't live with them, can't live without them" crap, because YOU ARE THEM and you ain't got any other choice.

You know the old saying, don't ya?  Boys will be boys and girls will be girls, and androgynes with be both (or neither).

The hardest part about being androgyne?  Explaining it to someone.  Cross-dresser?  Easy, I'm a guy who likes to wear women's clothes.  Transsexual?  Easy, I'm a girl who was born in a guy's body.  Androgyne?  I'm part guy and part girl and though I have a male body I have a (mostly) feminine mind but not all feminine...I also have a male mind and enjoy the pleasures that both male and female activies bring...and that's just the start.  (I'm not saying explaining who you are to anyone is easy, nor should my stereotypical explanations of Cross-dressers and Transsexuals be taken as anything more than a vehicle used in the telling of this, by now, not-so-funny, but true, joke.)

You know you shouldn't have said it when the disclaimer is longer (and funnier) than the joke...what was I thinking?

sheesh...almost signed my male name....oy vey...dang Ken and his male bonding thing...next time, let's bake cookies and a pie or two for the big game and when the quarterback throws an interception with 3 minutes left in the game, we'll all throw our Cheetos at the TV!  Danged old Romo and his fumble-fingered place kick holding (or "not holding" as the case may be)...AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!

Actually It would be great if the cheerleaders had a better role in the game. Dallas does have the most famous cheerleaders. Thats what I like about the entertainment of wrestling (ducks prepared to be bashed about wrestling not being a sport and such). But in that entertainment (notice I didnt say sport) the females wrestle (put on a show) and play more major roles in interviews and the stories. In football, the cheerleaders just cheer for the spectators in the stadium. And do little role for the home audience. Wish the other male sports had more female influence.

Or they can throw in a recipe or two between quarters. Or something about home improvements, car repair, or fashion tip.

I dont think watch football is bad. The male in me, I embrace, accept, and feel is good now that I have worked through much of what I like of both genders. So I understand many feel threatened by sports, but as stated before, women watch football also. Having said that also I am only part female. I know that being a male for males, androgynes that have a male part to them, and female to males can be a wonderful experience. I embrace it and am finding it equally important as anything I learn about the female or neutral parts in me.

BTW I was eating cheetos during the game. No cheetos were hurt in the watching of that game. I take that back, I ate quite a few of them, so those are gone. But none were abused.

Ken (dra) (ny) or whichever I feel more at the moment.
