I’ve been mulling over a little theory on the relationship between how men drink and masculinity.
I’m not talking about the standard “lifted pinky means you’re gay”, I’m talking about the part of the cup a guy chooses to drink from implies how much of a “dude” he thinks he is. It’s all in the rotation. Imagine a guy drinking out of a Solo cup. The standard action is straight back over the thumb, and into the mouth. Again, standard. Drinking from the cup’s “six o’clock” Since I’ve been on Long Island, I’ve noticed the real dude-dudes drinking from over around the nine o’clock, in a wrist-pointed-away-from-the-mouth motion. And, inversely, the feminine way to drink would be between the 3 – 6 o’clock part of the cup. Make the motion right now. In a related story, Sean Avery was just seen at the Vogue company picnic drinking from 2:15. Kinda weird. ***** Is there, in our society, a less sincere event then the “Happy Birthday” song at a restaurant? You know, with the claps, and the general degradation of all parties involved? I’ve worked in restaurants, and know how little I cared. I can’t imagine how little the guy texting from behind the waitress during the song cares that some shmo was born on that day 29 years ago. Can we all agree to stop this madness? We can? Great. ***** Good news. I’m starting a non-specific sports team so hesitant players can be happy. We’ll have an unlimited budget to pay them ludicrous sums, and all we’ll do is put the players through rigorous spa days, while giving them tons of press conferences so they can be rich and happy, but also still famous. Please welcome your SomeWhereWarm Flip-Floppers! Dany Heatley Brett Favre (C) Michael Jordan (A) Peter Forsberg Mats Sundin Substitutes: Stephon Marbury Eminem Floyd Mayweather Jr. ***** Personal opinion: Tiger Woods is the biggest name is sports. Bigger than A-Rod, or Crosby, and only challenged by Lebron.
He does a two-part interview with Michael Wilbon, and listening to it, I feel like I’ve never heard him speak before. He’s so mysterious and intense, we don’t learn much from him in post (or pre) golf discussions. This guy is just at such a stupid level of talent its unfair (one stroke back right now). So yeah, this was my blurb to declare him the biggest name in sports.
