Why I wear Paul Stanley signature manties.

[RocketDaryl]

FTR, I do have a Paul Stanley figure and an original KISS lunchbox in my office. I keep them on my desk as they serve to hide all of the computer cables. I also have a metal poster of Barney Fife with the inscription:

"Barney Fife, bloodhound of the law, sniffing out crime one at a time", something to that effect, anyway...

I rarely have someone come in my office and not comment on the stuff. It's a great ice breaker. I've often pondered standing up and showing them my wasteband and exclaim "I also have Paul Stanley signature manties"!

You might need to go to Red Box and get that movie.

Oh great, now I've got to weed out all of the "free thinking" ads again

Several years ago, I went to a KISS Concert in Little Rock during their farewell tour. Ted Nugent open for them.

Uncle Ted addressed the audience as his "huntin buddies" while asserting his drug-free heterosexual preferences. Then KISS came on and reminded us twice between each song that they loved us. I called it the ultimate positive-reinforcement show.

Ted Nugent is a friend of my Dad. My Dad was a senior executive with Bear Archery and an avid hunter himself. I was around Ted off and on when I was a kid and as far as I can tell he thinks God is Fred Bear. He's a pretty nice guy although he and I don't see eye to eye when it comes to that whole "Kill it and grill it" mentality of his. I don't have anything against hunting to keep deer herds, etc... from becoming over populated, but I'm absolutely against what I call "fish barrel" hunting tactics. Game and fish folks call them "penned hunts". Basically, the animal is within the confines of a pen. It's large and they can hide, but ultimately they can't escape. Ted runs (or did, anyway) one in Texas. For $1200 or so you can go on a hunt (term used loosely) with "Uncle Ted".

Again, however, other than our differences regarding hunting, he's a pretty cool dude. It's been about 6 years since I last saw him. I took a buddy to meet him when he was playing a gig in Kansas (where I used to live). He didn't recognize me at first because he was signing a bunch autographs. He reached to sign my hat (which was on my head) and I exclaimed "Hey you fag, Fred Bear is the anti-christ!". His eyes suddenly cut sharp at my face, he saw who I was and then just erupted in laughter, gave me a hug and said "Hey man, how the hell are you? How's the old man doing"?

THAT was a cool story! And it took my mind off of the manties, if only for a moment.

Yea a story about Ted is WAY better than the manties thang..
That was getting scary for a minute there.

 

[STRIPES]

Mantys? There's a lot of stuff I don't understand. Then there's a lot of stuff I know I don't understand AND don't care to learn.

 

[snuffcityrider]

They (manties) come with a matching manzier and murse

Your friend, Ted, is an abject tool of the first order:
