Roll Call!

Dude, I'm so glad to hear you say that. This happens to me all the time. I am sure most married couples cried during that movie "Fireproof". Well I cried for probably half of it (as did my wife thankfully). But I cry (at some point) during lots of movies (Facing the Giants, Rudy, Les Miserables etc.). Don't get me wrong, I'm not balling like a school-girl (just tearing up....um sometimes a lot), but my wife almost never crys during a sad scene in a movie. Sometimes it makes me feel like a total wuss...........maybe we should start a support group or something.

Dude, that is hilariously cool. I bet you drove your siblings nuts when you were younger.

Oh man that sounds exactly like something I would be guilty of. And worse I would probably get into an argument with someone over it and feel like a total idiot when I was proven wrong.

I tear up in movies, too. But, the first movie I really cried during was Star Trek: Generations. When they destroyed the Enterprise D, I cried.

I honestly don't tear up for movies save for one. Rocky 2 when Adrian wakes up from the coma after Rocky jr was born. Rocky says that he won't fight and she looks at him and says "There's only one thing I want you to do....Win. Win". Gets me everytime.

Despite one "mistake", amazingly yes. All body parts present and accounted for.
Tip: When the Anarchist's Cookbook says a mixture is unstable, trust it.

I'm almost the same except I'm Christian now so my way of thinking changed and I wear Christian t-shirts with my jeans rather than concert t-shirts.

So I'm not the only girlie man here? Cool!

The other day, my son "discovered" Iron Eagle (one of my favorite movies) and we sat and watched it together. I teared up WAY TOO MUCH during that film, and I've seen it dozens of times.

I read that!

Never created my own, but I live in mining terrirory... In times past, I liberated volitile substances from powder magazines and put them to good use.

It's not girlie when you are emotional.
It's somethings that belongs to you.
I tear up in movies too.
Even when Bambi's mom was shot. I cried.

Dude that's why we are all here, our weird taste in music.....

But man you gotta get over that soft drink addiction. See if you can ween yourself down to like 2 cans a day, and then just one can a day. If you don't, soon you won't have any teeth at all (then people would think you were from Tennessee instead of Kentucky)!

Perhaps I'll just get it on an IV instead

So CMH is the place for people who have a weird taste in music?
