You realize of course that cooking stuff like rice, raman, and chili is easy to the level of put it in boiling water, stir. Right?

Stirring is a concept humans invented for making you get up off the chair and walking into the kitchen to tend to your food; supposedly doen so because the companies think we're "not getting enough exercise". WTF! Pour it in, set the timer, LEAVE. And if anyone does it differently, they're wasting their energy! And if anyone doubts my conspiracy theories....I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE...

I don't think you know where I live, and even if you do, I'm not afraid :twisted: .

You don't need to move over to the kitchen, you throw it in the pot, sit down on a chair, stir as it cooks, then let it cool. There are like...3 instructions! You just want to be like that 123 lbs 4 year old. :D

I don't have a chair near my stove, and even if I did I still wouldn't cause then I couldn't see the TV. TV good, stirring bad. And letting it cool? I don't let things cool; I eat it when its finished cooking, right outta the pot. My friend claims I have a fire-proof mouth, but I think he's just a wuss.

Of course you can take anything hot, you're ceramic remember? And it is, and once you reach that horrible obesity, be sure to tell us.

As it stands, Gnomes do not gain of lose weight according to what they eat. They remain the same as the day the factory built them. Which means I can do cool shit like this...

*presses button on wrist, and large machinery drops from the ceiling and begins whirring all about DGG's body. When the dust settles*

TA-DA! *points to his extra four eyes, and feet the size of mack trucks*

Yeah, I get to that kinda stuff all the time. Actually gets kinda boring after a while...*sighs*

I don't see why it would; it's a very useful skill to have, and actually, a surprising number of older men actually know how to make simple repairs in their clothing, something that almost nobody, male or female, can do these days, which is just ridiculous. Of course, I'm not much of an expert on this, I confess.

Geez, I can do simple sewing repairs (actually, around here I qualify as an "older man" :? ). They're not that great and would be better if I didn't have to do them by hand but I bet most people could do at least some repairs if they bothered to give it a shot and had access to needle and thread.

I tend to be of the opinion that guys doing anything remotely domestic are absolutely adorable.

I can make dumplings from scratch. I can also cook noodles, rice, and make pancakes. Yum. No needle skills, though.

Damned lazy gnomes.

Like many things, I think its depends on the girl. I know a number of girls who would take it as a turn-off.

True depends on the woman...but being single as long as I have(on and off for a few years at least)...you learn all sorts of things.

To sew, cook, clean, and other skills that having nothing do with maniliness persay.

Though I am able to cut trees down quite well, and put up a shed with little difficulty.
