Dear NYT - there is a difference between being a modern man and a gentleman

Does even Ru Paul wear lilac socks?

Glenfiddich and Glenda Jackson?  Both about what you would expect from over-hyped items.

And I'd like to suggest a #40 - knows how to cut with both a knife and with words.  Has the precision of a surgeon at both.

stay safe.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

#40.  Accepts another person's list of opinions without comment except perhaps for either a nod or a grin.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

A couple gems from the comments
Quote
14 Is unafraid to speak the truth
- Well... In this current political situation, reading such a sentence in a newspaper-based website is not without a sense of ironie....

39 Knows that there is always an exception to a rule
- 40 Asks himself, why somebody creates a set of 38 rules only to relativize them with rule 39
