If, for the reasons given below, we have smoking clubs, I don't see why we shouldn't have pissing clubs.
I mean, if you're a guy, you've been in pissing contests. Brings back memories of those good old days, doesn't it? You get into a line, and see how many yards your fountain of youth will reach. Maybe you get to be gang chief, or everyone bows down to you, Master Peer. Anyway, you feel good, better than your hydrologically-challenged pantywaist buddies. Simple honest good fun. A contest no woman could possibly win - surely a big aspect for a lot of ragtag guys. Imagine the talk at the water cooler on Monday. Club teams, super heroes, betting odds and distances, the State Competition, the winner going on perhaps to become the next governor... Now, it's important to do this INdoors. Think winter. Think frostbite. We wouldn't want THAT frostbitten, would we? So how are we guys to have the boyish fun we're all entitled to in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Old Testament, and Robert's Rules of Order? Indoors. We need not be concerned with health standards - hey, this is a private club! --David Shove Roseville On Thu, 20 May 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Yes, it's hard to argue with Chuck, Erik.
