Please consider these lyrics by the inimitable Kellie Pickler (and does anyone else love the word inimitable as much as I do? I just LOVE it. Fun to say, fun to type.)
Kellie Pickler, Things That Never Cross A Man’s Mind
I need to go shopping
These shoes are all wrong
Just look in my closet
Not a thing to put on
I wonder how these jeans make me look from behind
Things that never cross a man’s mind
Lets turn off the tv
Now can’t we just talk
Lets lay here and cuddle
Til we both drift off
If we don’t make love
That’ll be just fine
Things that never cross a man’s mind
That joke is too dirty
This steak is too thick
Ain’t no way in the world I’ll ever finish it
That car is too fast
This beer is too cold
And watchin all this football is sure getting old
Wish I was workin this weekend
Not on the lake reelin my line
Things that never cross a man’s mind
Her lips are too red
Her skirt is too tight
Her legs are too long
And her heels are too high
Boy, she looks like the marryin kind
Things that never cross a man’s mind
I see your thick, fucking steak and I am going to eat the hell out of it.
No but I really think that you can never emphasize enough how different the sexes are. You know – men. Women. Never the twain shall meet. It’s so good that there are blatant expressions of idiotic stereotypes out there, disguised as humourous “woman power ballads” floating in the hazardous air for all of us to internalize, agree with and perpetuate. Hooray! OK! No more country music station for me!
I updated my list of blogs over there to the right. I am a bad citizen of the blogosphere so I will probably not make it to all those newly listed sites to say, hey, I read your stuff and I think you’re awesome like homemade macaroni and cheese with bacon, in fact I’ve been lurking here (argh there’s that WORD again!) for years and just wanted to let everyone else in the world who reads my blog (all 22 of you) know that I think you’re fabulous.
So if you see this page in your referrals and you come over to see what the hell? Hi! I think you’re awesome like homemade macaroni and cheese with bacon and trust me, that’s a compliment.
