It's a little convoluted, but here's what he means:
His masculinity is so threatened by Raunchy and me
that he prefers to think of us as men; that way he
doesn't feel quite so humiliated. :-)

I think we both enjoying mirthing it up a bit, seeing the fun in things. So 
perhaps no way is the best way -- or perhaps the ways of mirth are all the same 
in the Enchanted Forest of life. 

Though sometimes my humor can come across as serious I suppose -- perhaps "had 
to be there" sort of thing. Only its hard jamming people into my head. (But if 
you are a rugby fan -- perhaps you know some tricks)

Btw I enjoy your sense of humor, and your science inserts and knowledge.

Seeing women's value
is a start to peace
 
Doin' the 'Adam'
(placing blame onto another)
destroys and is not indicative of healing 
 
In it's stead, let us find beauty in all other life, plant, human -all
let us live in what we have now
Let us play and revel in what there is now
 
let us leave behind why's , who's...blame  ;finding it negative...
There is a Divine , and therefore Good intent behind all this, not evil
 
let us revel in the new
even if we do not understand fully all it's intrinsic nature of blessing.
For that is what it is
bliss
 
See it now
celebrate it now

Apparently not. Some appear to see virgins on pedastals, wailing damsels in 
distress, dark sinister villians (probably with those long, waxed mustaches) 
and perhaps projections of themselves as white knights - or white hatted 
cowboys -- riding to the rescue. Sounds like boys walking out of the picture 
show in 1915 after seeing the latest dime-store western -- not men of the 
world. 

However, for my clear sin of stupidity in seeing it this way, I fear Tom Mix

views, Black Bart. You best be git before you rile up the citizens here and we
