    Here is my list of reasonable moments for a guy to cry for emotional reasons:

    Death of a child of your own or someone close to you
    Dog dies
    immediate family member dies
    best friend dies
    Anytime you hear Al Michaels say "Do you believe in miracles... YES" <----name that moment for bonus points!!
    You sell your dream car
    Hearing the National Anthem for the first time after 9/11

    That's all I got.

    1980 winter Olympics when the USA hockey team beat the Russians to win the gold medal.

    wrong. they did not win the gold medal when they beat the Russians. they won it against Finland.
    I stand corrected on that fact.

    See. . I remembered it as the Russian's too. . not disputing your fact. . but wasn't the game where we beat the Russian's a huge deal. .or did we even beat them? Guess I'm gonna have to go watch that movie again. . Or I could just google it. . but I think I want to watch that movie again. . ;0

    wrong. they did not win the gold medal when they beat the Russians. they won it against Finland.

    wrong. both wins led to gold, so it's not technically correct to say they won it "against Finland." at the time, the medal round was a four-team round robin format (USA, Soviet Union, Sweden, Finland), with gold going to the team with the most points upon completion. while it's true the US played Finland last, they received the same number of points (2) for that win as their win over the Soviet Union (not Russia, btw). ergo, both wins were equally important.

    of course they had to win the tournament by winning enough games. the point was they won the gold after beating Finland and they did not win the gold by beating the russians. as evidenced in this thread most people think it was beating the russians that won the gold.

    "after beating Finland" is fine. but "against Finland" is not. and again, the "russians" did not participate in that tournament.

    was the KLM line for the russians in existence at that point? Krutov, Larionov and Malkov(or Makarov)? tretiak was the goalie but he was pulled during the game i think. and im blanking on the russians coach.

    Call me crazy, but I like it when a mans hands and feet are used. Besides, it's kind of a fun pastime to rub feet like that. If they're too soft it's not as interesting, hahaha!

    Maintenance of hair is one thing... but pedicures??? Be careful Bro. You are heading into Metro territory there.

    Do you own a hair straightener? If not you are probably ok... but watch yourself.

    I'm fairly metro, but there's no way in hell I'd get a manicure or pedicure. I focus on the big things, like having a decent tan, wearing decent cloths, "manscaping", etc etc.

    pedicures are only a necessity if you dont keep your toenails trimmed and have cracked heels. trust me that stuff scratches like a mofo in bed. i've banned boyfriends from my bed until they got that taken care of. i'm not trying to get cut when i get my freak on :laugh:
