Worst case scenario: They beat the shit out of each other never speak to each other again.

Best case scenario: They beat the shit out of each other, get tired. go get a beer and discuss possible threesome.

I fail to see how either scenario fills out 90 minutes.

You'd go with the ho just because she'll "raise your child"? We need to find you some different "hos", dude. Or better yet, find you a lady who will get hammered with you, watch Peter Sellers films and laugh with you throughout, will segue directly from the credits to canoodling with you on the couch, then take it to the bedroom and really get to work hammer and tongs. Then you go to sleep and wake up the next morning and chase your hangover chow with a beer. And then fuck a whole lot more.

Huh. It seems I have just planned out my weekend. One less thing. Yep.

I love Freudian typos in the morning.

I loved I Love You, Man. I think both guys were completely adorable in that movie. I fell a little more in love with Paul Rudd, which I didn't think was possible.

Mostly young guys choose 'bros before hos' because they aren't really in a place in their life to understand the importance of a good woman.

Screw you guys, I fucking loved I Love You, Man. How could you not? Jason Segal and Paul Rudd are perfect for those characters, and seriously, I knew all of those characters. The might as well have all been played by my friends. Of course, it wouldn't have been as funny that way. I laughed the entire time during that movie. Tears. Of joy.

I think I know what to do with the tongs, but I am stymied by the hammer. Unless by 'hammer' you mean 'penis'.

And FWIW: that is exactly the kind of relationship I am interested in. Sans the booze for me.(alas)

You know how I know you're gay?

Cause you didn't like I Love You, Man.

Mel:
Guys are gross.
That is all.

Guy friends are great and all, but come on: If all else is equal, I’ll take the ho over the bro. The bro is gonna give me shit over my fantasy football team, and the ho: She’s gonna raise my child.

I don't even know how to approach that statement so that it makes sense in my brain. It's oddly mysogynistic (womens are good for child rearin')and I'm certain that is not what you were going for.

"I Love You, Man" was about getting balance between friends and your mate, it had nothing to do with choosing one or the other. If either party ever forces you to choose, then the person asking should go. If you have ever been in the awkward position of making new friends as an adult male, it rang incredibly true to life. Great damn movie.

Or better yet, find you a lady who will get hammered with you, watch Peter Sellers films and laugh with you throughout, will segue directly from the credits to canoodling with you on the couch, then take it to the bedroom and really get to work hammer and tongs. Then you go to sleep and wake up the next morning and chase your hangover chow with a beer. And then fuck a whole lot more.

Add "and watch football with you" and you have described Mrs. Spender.
I am a lucky, lucky man.

Mcreosote:
You bring the hammer, I'll heat up the tongs.

Society researchers dug up evidence that both Damon and Affleck are descended from William Knowlton Jr. He was a bricklayer who came to the U.S. from England in the 1630s and settled in Ipswich.

Don't you love real news?

It's "totes magotes," NOT "Totes McGotes."

And while I didn't love I Love You, Man as much as I've loved other Paul Rudd movies (such as the amazingly hilarious and woefully underappreciated gem The Ten), I still thought it was great. I much prefer the bromance genre to almost any other comedy genre, except maybe stoner comedy (often cross-bred with bromance) and dark comedy.

I often joke with my husband that it seems like men form much deeper, more loving bonds between each other than women do when it comes to friendship. My husband has several best friends, a couple of them dating from elementary school. They're in their mid-30s now and, although they live miles away, still keep in constant contact through phone, email, and visits. Meanwhile, my college BFFs and I occasionally post on each other's Facebook walls.

That's one reason I love bromance comedies so much: the relationships that men forge with each other are far richer and more complex than they appear on the surface. Behind all of the fart jokes and Playmate-ogling is often a very deep love and loyalty.
