haha, I saw the original one you uploaded and for some reason couldn’t get past the first line cause I was laughing so hard.  Thanks for the morning laugh.

Yea, the first one I uploaded began “Boys have a penis and boys have a vagina.” My wife caught the mistake and said “Is that supposed to say musicians have a penis and musicians have a vagina?”

Nice.

This is post is now anatomically correct.  And I need more sleep.

Thanks for demystifying that for me - I always wondered what was it that those boys with guitars had that the jocks didn’t - apparently a more developed brain - which to be honest, isn’t that apparent without the science - bash head/body or develop a skill/talent?

I’m sorry...did you just say something important?

LOL!!!  WOW!! Shaun, you just answered a bunch of questions regarding my own psycho/physio biology!!!  Thanx Dr. Groves!!!!  I totally can relate ;o)

Joe

BTW, Check your email, I sent you a present!!

I really enjoyed that!

I’m signing my husband up for guitar lessons!

It all makes sense. Except, what about those guys who can play sports and music really well? Still the same for them?

and hey, I forwarded this on to some guys I know.

Well, they’re mutants, Noelle.  Evolutionary mistakes.  They must be crushed.  No one should be allowed to hold so much power.

I am sorry, I keep on spacing out while reading your post today.  I just do not understand why I have this urge to go out and hit something. 

Thomas

Wow! THAT’S why I’m always into those guys who can strum a guitar or beat up some drums! =)

I thought my day was complete with Brant introducing me to the word “sluttery.” Now my day has gotten even better with this post.  I’m so torn about whether or not to show my wife.  I mean, on the one hand I’m a musician so I don’t have to carry the same shame as the other wall-pissers, but on the other… this could only confirm her deepest suspicions about men.  I’ll probably just go have a beer, play a video game, and forget all about this if it’s all the same to you.

Shaun,
What about those guys who aren’t musicians and not good in sports? You know the so called “nerds” of the world.

Funniest opening lines of a blog I’ve read in a while…

now wait a minute. i play sports and i attempt at playing music. do i really have to be crushed? i may not be the best at either, and i also know this is one of the best blogs i have read in a while. i even linked to you after i read it this morning. im commenting now. but again, well done. very creative.

i laughed.  let’s go ahead and put that out there.  your point was humor, i get it.  but seriously? you just called the whole male gender retarded except for those who happen to be your type… so today’s lesson was how to have a good laugh and clearly not humility.  we know and you know that you don’t have it all together… but i seriously don’t want to read, “hey all you men, you’re retarded… but because i learned to hold down a couple of strings and cough out a few notes then that means my brain works right.”

and girls like rock stars not because they aren’t retarded, but because of the perceived bad-boy image.  you’re such a bad boy.

What about Metrosexuals?

...or better yet Metrosexual Musicians?

So...boy musicians turn into girls?

Oh my gosh! I’m having such a hard time keeping myself from bursting into laughter. It’s really hard, but considering I’m in a library and don’t want everyone to stare at me, I think I can keep it to a giggle. You may have just proved the mystery.. I’ve always found there’s something very attractive about a man who can play piano or guitar or violin, and now I know why. I wonder if it’s not the same for females though. Perhaps females who don’t play instruments or sing are retarded as well (though not as much as boys who don’t.) Do you find that tend to like women who are skilled in musicianship?

I was going to type something but I forgot what.

Heeeey, I think the Office is on Tuesdays now!

I find that I tend to like women who can add and subtract, so, no, they’re not musicians.

i love this post. it makes me very happy. It also reminds me of a childhood taunting rhyme us girls would sing/scream across to the playground to the boys on the ‘boy’s side’ (we had segregated recess and separate entrances), yes, i’m middle aged!

“Extra! Extra! Read all about it. Boys are retarded, no one should doubt it.”

Sure....girls dig rock stars...until they get off the stage and get the crap kicked out of them by said neanderthals. Of course that’s why you rock star types travel with an entourage....now where’s my club...I’m hungry.

Bring it.  You. Me.  Cul-de-sac.  Midnight.  Club versus six string.

On a steel horse I ride.

My best friend’s brother is actually retarded so I’m not sure where to go really with this post. :(

ooooh, so you like someone who can do your taxes for you

Retarded: adj - slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress

According to some guy named Merriam.

once again, music saves the world.

I hate this post.  I like sports, don’t play an instrument, and...I forgot the rest.  Anyway, I’m grabbing a few of my innovative friends (according to Driscoll are the ones at home watching football) and we are coming over to kick your butt - in a nonviolent way, of course.  Ron Paul can’t save you now.

If “creative” people are so smart, why don’t they run the world or become President or stuff like that?

"Ever notice, ladies, how your husband or son zones out?  Scientists now think we’re going into “sleep mode.””

Ever notice, ladies, that most of the scientists/experts who have discovered the facts in this post are retarded left-brainers themselves?  Isn’t it amazing how retarded folks can put a man on the moon and change matter into energy and control light in such a way that a little electronic device in your car translates those controlled fluctuations of light into music while you drive your car dozens of miles away from the huge light bulb known as a radio tower.

Yeah, the post was funny.  I just can’t resist proclaiming the genius of the retard.

Quite bold and quite funny.

I have heard before that music stuff uses more of your brain than other activities.

And I learned that boys are “retarded” as I observed my dad and brother among every guy in the world stare for several hours a week at a bunch of guys running into each other chasing a ball getting paid millions of dollars to do so.  I’ve discussed with my brother why there is more of a point to music than to football, but he don’t get it.

^^And that’s why God made women and rock stars.

Brian, we do run the world.  The President is a puppet for an international consortium of rockers ranging in credibility from Right Said Fred to Bon Jovi to Bono.

The Iraq war?  Clear Channel productions wants into the Middle Eastern market and the Taliban with its mafia-like network of scalpers are the only thing standing in their way.

Congress?  Mostly band nerds lacking the aptitude and cool hair to truly run the nation and therefore relegated to the bottom rung of the Organization.

Any other questions?

Any other questions?

I know I am bypassing the “comical” point of this post, but as a bioethics attorney, I have to point out a flaw.  The baby is a male or female at conception-- because the sperm is either X (female) or Y (male).  In fact, you can test IVF embryos for sex.

Maybe this is just case-in-point: even a male musician isn’t as smart as a female attorney.

I think your just trying to get laid, not that I disagree, but you are a man, which makes you retarded, which means you do this as a means to get laid…

Its not your fault, its your gender

M. Smith,

Technically, (according to most medical dictionaries) conception begins at implantation and so a human is actually male or female a wee bit earlier at fertilization.

Just a note of clarification from a retarded mechanical engineer to a female bioethics attorney.

However, I suspect that the point of the post was the onset of physical differentiation between the sexes.  I’m not up on my embryology enough to pinpoint the exact date at which this occurs, but 5 weeks wouldn’t surprise me.  If that were the case, then the original post would be correct, in the poetic if not the technical sense.

For a practical discussion of the difference between fertilization and conception…

MaMasBoy--Thanks for that clarification-- you beat me to the punch.  Defining fertilization at implantation is a clear distortion of traditional embryology.  (At least, that is what all of my medical experts say).

What’s a vagina?
