What a sad view of the world

There are things that lose all their value when you give them a piece, if a woman judges you by how much money you are willing to spend for her then she isn't worth

If a man asks a woman out, and then demands a split?  Yeah, he ain't worth it.  I will stand by that forever.

Frankly, I would argue the same thing if a woman asks a man on a date because the woman should say she wants to pay the bill if she asks him out.  Now, in either instance, regardless of gender, I think it is entirely fair to offer to pay for your own meal or split the bill (as long as the meals are close - imagine demanding to split when one gets a salad and the other gets the truffle covered sirloin with a side dish of shrimp - lmao).  That being said, if you were the one who wanted to go on the date in the first place, you should say you will pay for the whole bill at least on the first date (assuming they aren't the one getting the truffle covered sirloin with a side dish of shrimp - lmao).  This is a matter of principle in my perspective.

Why?  In the case of a man asking a woman out (which is most often what I saw or see),  I believe the man should always pay the bill for yourself and the woman you are dating.  First off, because you were the one who wanted to do the date in the first place.  Secondly, because damn it, I'm a provider, and I should show my perspective mate that I am the provider she wants to be with... and one little way to do that, is to pay another $25 or whatever it is for your date's bill.  It may not be a big thing, but it is something that can come in to play when dating.

Of course, this all changes potentially if it isn't a man asking a woman out.  I'm super curious what happens what happens when a woman asks a man out, or a woman asks a woman out, or a man asks a man out...  I don't know what that looks like, not what it should look like.  But I stand firm when a man asks a woman out, he pays the fucking bill.  Judge me if you want for that stance, but certainly you should judge a man if a man doesn't pay the bill when asking a woman out.

Aren't you married?

Yes...  but that is why I said "I always paid".  That is past tense in case you didn't know.  Meaning, before now...  and in my case, before I was married and dated other women, or even the women who became my wife.

I always paid and I think a man should always pay when on a date with a woman.  As a woman, if a man doesn't pay, take the little cost you have to pay for dinner or whatever you are doing, and chalk that up to a cheap lesson that he isn't worth it.

I always paid for everything when I was with a woman on a date.  Be a man, pay the bill.  She's gracing you with her presence so you better pay it back because all men are pigs (claim you aren't, then think about what you do each day and you will realize you actually are) who don't deserve anything we are given.  Women only need men for the 2.2 sperms the average woman wants/gets (or so - it depends where you live I guess).  Anyway, pay the bill, maybe you'll be able to give her some of what she wants some day...  certainly a better chance if you pay than you demand you split or demand she pays for it.

This is some ploy for you to figure out how to slowly kill me through terrible mental fatigue...  I refuse to answer...

I live in Minnesota...  a little north of tornado alley in the U.S., but once every few years we have to hide from tornadoes.  I have seen five in my lifetime, the largest ripped apart St. Peter, Minnesota in 2006 which I followed with my vehicle and then proceeded to help people out of two different homes.  In May of 1998, when I was 15, for two weeks we owed two homes just  based on timing of when we bought the one and had to wait to sell the other... the day my parents closed, a tornado ripped through between our two homes (only about a mile apart), and we had damage at both homes.  I spent days cleaning up the yards, cutting up trees, fixing the roofs with my Dad.

I had to shelter from a tropical storm that came through in June of 2001 while I was in training for the military.  I don't think it was a hurricane, but the wind still whipped amazingly a lot for half a day.  The rain was terrible.  I count it because it was the worst I've ever seen for a long period of time.

Blizzards should be on there...  ever get stuck out in one?  My wife and I got stuck the first winter we were married between her parents and my parents homes (75 miles apart).  We skidded off the road, had to stay in the car for about ten hours until the morning sun allowed a tow truck to see us.  Thankfully I'm a Minnesota kid and know how to keep safe and was well prepared during a blizzard (Extra blankets, food, candles, batteries, shovel to clear snow, etc)  Also - if you don't carry kitty litter in your car in the winter in snowy areas, you are doing it wrong...  fifty points in the made up game if you know what it is for.  -1 if you don't know...

And now that my post has 6 reps I will edit it....

No.  Not even funny...

The next competition is:  A music one!  Put together your favorite list of music, no more than 30 minutes in total length.  Post your list of songs, the artist, and please also post a link to youtube, vimeo, or another site for each music selection so those who are unfamiliar with a song of your choice, can listen to those songs.

Those eligible:  Everyone in TKR.  Even gov, and FKs.

Prizes:  TBD - you won't be disappointed though.

Voting:  Vote for up to your top five favorite selections.  No down votes (if you downvote anyone or vote for more than five, I will NOT count ANY of your upvotes and you will be disqualified from the competition).  Any ties will be at my discretion.

Timing:  Post your list (just one list; or you are disqualified) between now, and ~69 hours (giggity-giggity) from this posting (in other words; approximately 8:00 PM EST on Wednesday, May 8th).  After that, I will leave the voting open until Sunday, May 12th at 8:00 PM EST to give you all time to review and listen to songs you are unfamiliar with and get your votes in.  At that time, I will post winners and prizes as well.

Good luck!

We have a group of first knights who are considering putting together a round of games as well.    I will push that along further, I think they focusing on the RP games.

There's water in beer, brandy, and Pepsi; right?  Sweet.  Probably at least a gallon...  heck, I'd even say it's probably closer to 4.675 liters.

“There’s not a day  goes by I don’t feel regret. Not because I’m in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone and this old man is all that’s left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It’s just a bullshit word. So you can go and stamp your form, Sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit.” — Red

My company tests.  I value my job.  Therefore, I do not partake...  nor have I ever.  Now, get off my lawn!

The Colosseum in its day, hosted naval reenactments.  they could flood it, would bring in real navy ships, sailors, and fight to the death.  That thing deserves more boats...  err... votes.

I had no idea what this meant.  But...  I get it now I think.  I largely play P&W Baseball.  You should consider that...   super helpful in getting better exam scores.

We have so many people who played the boner (what we played the trombone in high school)...

I started on the trumpet, went to the french horn, euphonium, and tuba in high school; but mostly played the euphonium (also called the baritone).

I haven't played any instruments for almost 18 years, but I still toot my own horn occasionally.

I remember that I purchased contraceptives for a friend one time so line 36. Other then that the only one which I may have done was line 55 (urinating in public) but I was probably like 2 or 3 then so I don’t think it takes the point of the question.

Dood...  how old are you?

I guess me thinking Japan has Fed seven monkeys upside doing while snorting cocaine and meth and having three looky-lous videoing and so forth is wrong...  I should be looking at Pdunny and Modi for that...  LMAO.  that makes a lot more sense...

Holy F.  97 @japan77?  You about doubled my freaking score...

Man...  Am I just an old prude getting low scores?  F.

No tablet of any kind.  Maybe never will get it as I'm already too old for "new technology".....

I use two other things instead of tablets; I have a laptop for work purposes that I also use for P&W and the forums.  I have a cellphone for some work purposes, calls, texting, sexting with @Sargun, and a few choice games.

I may never need a tablet, who needs a bigger screen?  Wait...  bigger screen...  sexting...  ...  ...  ...I should get a tablet...
