"scrotal rub" itself is a marketing phrase for what is otherwise known as "chub rub". but whatever makes you feel better, thunderthighs.

a woman's pride come from sewing back together the jeans that were worn out by their man's balls.

Even though I've never been a victim of it, I am amazed that I've never heard the term 'chub rub' before.

I've never heard it either, and anyway doesn't "chub" mean something at least slightly other than dangle?

Cronenberg sleazy (kenan), Thursday, 10 December 2009 14:08 (fourteen years ago) link

Depends on the angle of the dangle

Sonny Uplands (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 December 2009 14:10 (fourteen years ago) link

Angle of dangle weighed against Heat of meat. Apparently the University of Colorado did a study.

Steer clear of this Jason guy, is my advice.

Cronenberg sleazy (kenan), Thursday, 10 December 2009 14:15 (fourteen years ago) link

the angle of the dangle = the heat of the meat x the mass of the ass

Ass. The Other Variable.

otoh the rub of the chub is directly proportionate to the weight of the gait

I've never looked at the contents of that dangerous book for boys but from 2nd-hand impressions it seems like a juvenile version of the "X things every man must know" lists published in books or men's magazines. and then there's the subset of "X things every dad should know" lists.

elmo leonard (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 10 December 2009 14:44 (fourteen years ago) link

xp author's name too close to 'gay marriage', fail.

Oh, poo.

There is a generational need for some of these books TBH, just thinking of all the guys I know that didn't have activity-based quality time with their divorced dads but do have all this collective false nostalgia to pour into their own young families.

I am encouraged by the prominent presence of an ironing board on the cover.

Cronenberg sleazy (kenan), Thursday, 10 December 2009 14:58 (fourteen years ago) link

It's not long enough to adequately iron the trousers.

HUH? not appropriate (snoball), Thursday, 10 December 2009 14:59 (fourteen years ago) link

Eh... it's one of those that hang from the top of the door. You make do.

Cronenberg sleazy (kenan), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:00 (fourteen years ago) link

More important to have an iron than an ironing board.

I thought that was some kind of fucked-up snowboard. : (

YOU NEED THIS BOOK

Cronenberg sleazy (kenan), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:07 (fourteen years ago) link

You need "Snowboarding for Dummies"

HUH? not appropriate (snoball), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:07 (fourteen years ago) link

I am confused by the triangle with the exclamation mark inside it. And the two magnifying glasses on either side of that. Did the cover artist run out of things he could draw, or did the author run out of things that men need to know?

Cronenberg sleazy (kenan), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:09 (fourteen years ago) link

afaik "how to change a tire" is on every single one of these lists, forever

elmo leonard (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:10 (fourteen years ago) link

Triangle represents fixing a car, "magnifying glass" looks more like a frying pan representing cooking skills, item top right is a baseball maybe?

HUH? not appropriate (snoball), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:11 (fourteen years ago) link

xp and "how to suck a cock" is nowhere to be found. Hmmmm.

Cronenberg sleazy (kenan), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:12 (fourteen years ago) link

That'll be in the cookery section.

Mark G, Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:14 (fourteen years ago) link

lol kenan

elmo leonard (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:16 (fourteen years ago) link

item top right is a baseball maybe?

Thought it was a burger

Sonny Uplands (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:20 (fourteen years ago) link

Can't be a baseball since it lacks seams. Golf ball, maybe, but no pocks.

Nuyorican oatmeal (jaymc), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link

The guy's British, so it can't be a baseball

Sonny Uplands (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:26 (fourteen years ago) link

Some kind of wickety stickety crickety bullshit?

A lot of people don't know how to change a tire.

How to Order a Burger

Sonny Uplands (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:40 (fourteen years ago) link

At least in the case of spare tires, the instructions are included. And changing any other tire is no different. If you can't figure out not to put the jack under a piece of molded plastic that will break, I have no pity for you.

my 8yo loves the dangerous book for boys

it taught him how to play poker + chess

it also has a section on how to talk to girls which is probably the most guidance he's going to get tbh

鬼の手 (Edward III), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:43 (fourteen years ago) link

there's also a daring book for girls

鬼の手 (Edward III), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:44 (fourteen years ago) link

this thread btw is like the inverse of itt a strange man asks etc

MEN WERE STRIPPED OF THEIR KHAKIS

^^doing the world a huge favor, btw

see laurel is sexually harassing us right here

鬼の手 (Edward III), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:48 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm pretty sure she was thinking that the khakis would be replaced by other pants. A world of indiscriminately bare man legs is not a world any of us would want to live in.

Cronenberg sleazy (kenan), Thursday, 10 December 2009 15:56 (fourteen years ago) link

ed i don't think i find objection to learning poker or chess from the dangerous book, but the fact that it's "for boys" is a bit odd to me. i'd be v surprised if the daring book for girls had a poker or chess tutorial tbh.
