Wow, it has been a little while \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

While surfing the net on an unrelated topic today I came across a webpage<\/p>\n

titled "pick<\/p>\n

up your own damn socks!<\/a>" as a result of<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

this metafilter thread<\/a>. needless to say PUYODS is a vicious attack on the<\/p>\n

male of the species without any reason or objective truth. <\/p>\n

I feel… victimized. I mean it!<\/b><\/p>\n

Fortunately, it isn’t all one sided. One brave voice in the wilderness speaks<\/p>\n

of unvarnished truths, and it is to<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

that man<\/a> this entry stands dedicated.<\/p>\n

That man is Mil Millington, and his web page is "Things<\/p>\n

my girlfriend and I have argued about<\/a>". Mil is an amazing talent, proving<\/p>\n

that once again even the oppressed can raise our voices in laughter.<\/p>\n

Some quotes will suffice to get you to go read the page when you have 10<\/p>\n

minutes and an irresistible urge to giggle yourself silly. Oh, and you simply<\/p>\n

MUST read about the gravy incident. Follow the link and do a search.<\/p>\n

Sample 1<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/u>[go<\/p>\n

there<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\n

Margret [spotting Mil picking with his fingernail at the goo left on<\/p>\n

a CD case by the price label]<\/i>:<\/b> ‘What are you doing?’<\/p>\n

Mil:<\/b> ‘I’m talking to Mark using Morse code – he’s at home right now<\/p>\n

holding one of his CD cases, picking up the vibrations I’m making.’<\/p>\n

Margret:<\/b> ‘No you’re not, you liar. You’re lying. Why do you always lie?<\/p>\n

You liar.’<\/p>\n

Mil:<\/b> ‘It works by resonance. You just have to practise for a bit to be<\/p>\n

able feel the plastic quivering – go over and get that Black Grape case, press<\/p>\n

it on to your nose, and we’ll see if you can pick up anything.’<\/p>\n

(There’s the briefest flicker of indecision in her eyes; offering me, for<\/p>\n

one tantalising moment, the possibility that I’m going to spend the next ten<\/p>\n

minutes – ‘What about this, then? Press it on your face harder.’ – having<\/p>\n

quite simply the best of times… but then she grunts.)<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

Margret:<\/b> ‘Liar. You’re just a liar.’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sample 2<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/u>[go<\/p>\n

there<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\n

This is the first thing Margret said to me today: I walked downstairs into<\/p>\n

the kitchen and she handed me a yoghurt and said, ‘Here, eat this, it’s out of<\/p>\n

date.’ Excellent. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sample 3<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/u>[go<\/p>\n

there<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\n

I must make it clear that my actions here seemed perfectly rational at the<\/p>\n

time. I’ve mulled them over since, of course, and am relieved to find that<\/p>\n

they still hold up to examination – it’s pleasing to know I can make good<\/p>\n

decisions under pressure. Anyway, we eat the meal from a table awash with<\/p>\n

gravy. I am happy to have argued my point persuasively. Margret has a smile<\/p>\n

fixed to her face from the belief (incorrectly, of course, but it’s only her<\/p>\n

enjoyment that matters) that I’ve clearly done something hugely stupid that<\/p>\n

she can bring up later in any number of arguments – possibly years from now.<\/p>\n

Everyone wins.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
