50 Reasons Why It's Good to Be an American Man (In No Particular Order)

From http://men.msn.com/articlees.aspx?cp-documentid=702561

Number 20 is so true:

Quote :

"20. Low expectations. A few months ago I was outside a beer joint in Ecuador, peeing behind a blond horse named Gringa. Peeing behind his own horse nearby was an old friend, Enrique, who was in the middle of telling me about some unpleasantness he'd recently endured at U.S. customs in Miami. Officers there had refused to believe that a thirty-one-year-old banana republican earned enough honest bucks to own a vacation condo in Florida. Was he a narcotraficante? A terrorista? A narcoterrorista?! The interrogation concluded with an emasculating strip search, and the experience left Enrique thoroughly fed up with Americans. "I don't mean you," he quickly added. "You're different." For what it's worth, he's right: You'd never catch me rubber-gloving a rectum just because its owner looks a little Escobar-y. But my point here is that our rep has plummeted so low that it's almost impossible not to rise above it. Most foreigners, unless you're forcing them to play naked Twister or collaterally damaging their wedding parties, are pleasantly surprised by our lack of visible fangs. This has led to a happy paradox: While we're collectively in the toilet, we individually smell like roses. "

19. The Food Network's Giada De Laurentiis. Specifically, her plunging necklines and the placement of her oven so that she has to lean over at least a dozen times per show.

Everytime OEP makes a thread, an Arab's Body Odor offends somebody.

I saw Giada first, and as a man I have the right to claim her.

9/6/2006 5:12:38 PM

Now I know why my roommate loves the Food Network...

9/6/2006 5:14:31 PM

she's cute and the fact that she likes to cook just boosts her rating

9/6/2006 5:18:03 PM

Christ almighty! I need to learn to cook...

9/6/2006 7:29:44 PM

^ No, you need to find a woman like that to cook for you.

At no point in the equation should your cooking ability come up.

9/6/2006 7:35:49 PM

I think I'll just hockey fight msb2ncsu over her instead...fuck cooking.

Hehe, I'm game!

Not only is Giada hot but her recipes are actually really damn good. Quite a few we make with regularity because they are relatively easy and healthier than most.
