Typically, the only real reason to do it is because whatever we are eating we have deemed worthy of our demise. That, or you have a big day the next day and dont want to be worried about dropping a bomb in the middle of dinner with the inlaws...So you justify that if you get it over with today, you'll be better off.

I'll give it a shot, but I have no idea if this holds true for the rest of the guys. There is a sandwich place with a couple stores in the Melbourne, FL area that absolutely ROCKS!! However, within two hours of eating their sub, I'd be in the bathroom. For me, it was simple: The greatness of the sammich NOW easily overcame the issues that would surely come LATER. GAWD, I loved those things. In fact, I had to travel there on business a while back, and after several years of being away, that was the FIRST place I went for lunch, with the predictable outcome a couple hours later. And it was worth every minute spent in the bathroom.

What happens when whatever it is you ate lingers into the next day, and backfires your plan of "getting it over with"?

OK...so okay, this actually makes sense...even though personally, there is no food on this world that is worth that kind of anguish. BUT..I realize to each their own.
So what you're saying is...preventative maintenance? Sort of like flogging the dophin before a big date?

As far as lingering into the next day, I know exactly my time frame for certain things so it hasn't been a problem, yet..... Although, the topic of the brown waterslide the other day scared me bad. I assume the older I get the better the chances of this so called accident.

LMAO!!! Never thought about it as "preventative maintenance"... I'll be honest here: I've tried the pre-date thing, and it didn't work for me. For me, the first time after a long dry spell is VERY intense, and though it may be a short lived one, it leads right into a second session that goes MUCH longer...

But this has actually been quite enlightening for me. I've tried to ask Randy his rationale behind certain behaviors, and usually I just get a shoulder shrug and a half quarked smile and then he gets this look on his face that communicates why are you asking so many questions? That look is often followed by the Hey lets go mess around look and it scares me off and then I forget my initial question.

Thats why (sorry guys) women are smarter than us. We'll keep doing something till it kills us. Women will just say, I've had enough. If we steered clear of things that upset our guts, we would miss out on some really good food, and thats just not worth it to us.
And, once again, I'm with Joe on the other issue at hand.yes, pun intended. Your letting out some of the male secrets man, good thing Lisa is cool and in the group. We can let her in for sure.

I may be one of the youngsters in the group but I'm not green ya see.
I do appreciate being a part of the "in" crowd though. Give me some time I'll think up some more questions that have been burning in my mind.

That's good news Scott. Does that mean lots more hirings?
When I was in high school, we had this pot bellied pig named Pork Chop. We had to be really careful about where we put the bag of dog food, because he would eat an entire 50 lb bag in just one sitting. Pigs apparently don't have the ability to stop eating, they'll literally eat themselves to death. We had an apple tree in the back yard, and one year the tree dropped all of its apples in a span of just a few days. We almost had to take Pork Chop to the vet because we came home and he looked like a big pink lumpy Hindenburg. He ate every last apple.
So you're saying one of the quintessential differences between men and women is the ability to govern self control? It all makes sense now!

Oh yes, we are hiring like crazy right now. In fact, if there are any of you that are in the Houston area and you have machining, fabrication or welding skills. and you're looking for work then PM me.
I was just promoted a month ago but who knows, I have plans of taking the whole thing over some day.

YES!! I believe this to be true. My wife says I have no self control whatsoever.
More work for Scott! Just what he needed...
