Ninja Wizards! (poor Boromir)
Man Dates- an article describing how men are afraid to do things with other men that don't involve drinking and/or sports for fear of being seen by other people and thought of as gay. It was interesting to see the 'rules' around this. It's okay to go to a bar for beers, but it's not okay to split a bottle of wine at a restaurant. If you have to go to movies, there has to be a seat between you and the other guy. You can't cook for another guy, though if it's grilling then that's okay.
I felt bad for you guys about the tie thing, but this is even worse. Poor dudes.

I didn't understand what you meant by 'the tie thing' at first. Is it that you feel it's unfortunate that men wear ties? They are kind of useless, now that I think about it, but I kind of like them. For one, I feel all smug because I know (wait for it) TWO ways to tie them (one of which I learned by accident), but also because the individual tie is a good indicator of the wearer's sense of what's cool, which is usually something boring that matches his other garments. I miss my giant penis tie all of a sudden.
