Well, that was fun.
Boyz Night was crowded. I think we ran out of chairs! I finished the blocks I started last night, but I did not take yarn to start the next set of blocks because I think that would be too complicated to do as a social activity, so I started in on the never-ending Seed Stitch Scarf. And I am pleased to say that it's almost done.
There was lots of other knitting to see, as well, some of which you might find on Mark's blog, including his fabulous loop-stitch pillow.
But there was an important question brought up tonight at Boyz Night, and I thought I would bring it to your attention.
Which is "More Girly"?
A: Knitting
B: Sucking cock
(Sorry to be so blunt but that's what the question was. What do you think?)
Posted by Jon at April 9, 2005 01:26 AMI vote for "KNITTING"!
Girls don't want to suck cock. They lap it. They sort of smell it. Sometimes (for those un-learned women out there) they grate it like cheese (so sayeth my hubby who's standing over my shoulder as I type this--though he's never had any personal experience, just female friends and straight male friends who self-report).
So, due to the empirical judgment of gay men ALMOST ALWAYS getting propositioned by straight men for blowjobs ("'cuz my wife won't suck it!"), I think that women must not actually give head.
Knitting is more girly. :-)
Flame away, oh estrogen-enhanced, uterine-bearing humanoids! *wink* *wink*

Posted by: Bob at April 9, 2005 04:12 AMLOL..I would have to probably disagree with Bob there on the fact I am BETTING there are more women between the age of 18 and 40 that Give Head rather then Knit.
Mind you..I have never done a survey to see! ROFLMAO!

Posted by: Katt at April 9, 2005 05:25 AMLOL, that cracks me up Jon! I am going to go with knitting. I think sucking cock is sort of trans-gender. If a man sucks cock he is gay if a man knits, gossips, or likes to shop he is girly.
What the hell do I know? I am a married hetrosexual female who gives her husband regular blow jobs.
Posted by: Kelly O at April 9, 2005 08:14 PMGosh that's hard to say 'cos I do both. And I'm pretty good at doing both according to my husband.
In the course of my life I've had as many compliments about my knitting as I have had about my blow jobs!
Of course, knitting in public is much more acceptable for a girl than for a guy. (Bet you thought that would read differently!).
Posted by: Egeria at April 10, 2005 02:09 PMSpeaking as a straight woman whose husband is convinced I studied the art of giving head and never has to even ask me for a blow job (he is a happy, happy camper), I still say knitting is far more girly, though that cheese-grating reference makes me think a lot of girls would do well to take the girlieness of knitting and apply it to giving head. In both cases, the job is way more involved than just sticking the needle in the loop, and you really have to watch those snags.... ;-)
Posted by: Lee Ann at April 10, 2005 02:27 PMNeither..only a real man would knit and suck cock.
Posted by: Jon at April 11, 2005 09:48 AMi wouldn't like to think of either of these as being gender specific for obvious reasons but if i had to single one out as more girly, i'd have to say knitting. although i would challenge anyone to call me names if i could figure out how to do both at the same time. to bob's comment, i've had more straight guys proposition me for sweaters b/c their girlfriends don't knit than what he suggested. maybe i need to move.
Posted by: Mark at April 11, 2005 10:15 AMI would have to say knitting while sucking cock.
Posted by: Grace at April 11, 2005 12:32 PMhm, i don't think knitting is very girly, since doing it well involves understand three dimensional objects, and math....but sucking cock isn't very girly since every guy i've ever known who's had it done by both genders (and that's actually quite a few guys, susprisingly) says guys do it better, and since more girls knit (right now, although thank god the knitting boys are coming out), I guess i'll vote for knitting being more girly. Although I must agree, a real man could do both, and do them well. ;-)
Posted by: gaile at April 11, 2005 05:19 PMI'd have to say knitting, since giving a good blowjob strikes me as being a rather butch sport. You can't just kneel there, ya gotta mean it. LOL!
