There was this girl, right. John Surname met her and told me she was a solid four star tap. Impressed, I asked Craig — who had also met this girl — for his opinion, and he awarded a solid no tap.
How can this be? Can two red-blooded males (well, one red-blooded and one slightly pink-blooded — I’ll let you decide which is which) score the same girl so incredibly differently and both be telling the truth? Is this normal? Does it indicate a problem with men, with the tapology theory, or both?
For the record, I reckon she’s a two star tap.

That’s just normal variation, surely? Everyone has different taste.
So if you scored her in between the two tap scores, what does that say? Maybe Surname over-taps and Craig under-taps.

The problem is Craig gave her no tap, while I gave out a very rare four.

Surely that’s more information than any of us need to know?

One possible answer is that Surname was drunk at the time. If not - congratulations Surname. Your low standards will ensure that your tap will always runneth over.

umm, what’s a tap?

To tap or not to tap: That is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to tap
The sags and crows feet of mediocre booty,
Or to take arms against a sea of non tapability,
And by opposing hope to score big time? To tap or to drink…

Was she a redhead? This wild variability usually occurs with redheads. Some blokes score them an automatic no tap every time while others can see past their defects. If she wasn’t a redhead, I’m lost as to an explanation.

And Surname does have a thing for Redheads.

It’s common for one man’s tap to be another man’s minger. I know some guys who think Sarah Jessica Parker is hot, but I think she looks like the underside of a moccasin

Perhaps a graph or chart would assist us here.

Who’s going to hold Evil Bill down so I can kick his arse. I have red hair and PMS, I’m ready to rumble!

Well I agree with you on that assessment Wah, but then again, you rate Julie Bishop as tappable!

I’ve got him pinned down, MBB. Go for the groin.

Ha! Knew I could count on you Keri. Now, where is Bron? BRON! Bitch, get your arse over here.

It’s not so much the red hair, as the eyes and the skin that make a redhead. That and body hair (which even if light can contrast heavily with untanned pale skin.)

I’m here, MB, with my collection of blunt, rusty knives. Oh, or there’s the axe or chainsaw, if you prefer to use one of those.

I like redheads.
And I like guys with foul mouths
Blood Nuts Rool!
This is more like it. This is the adoration I deserve!

Foul mouths? What, guys who wear lipstick or something?
Saturday 19 July 2008, 12:21 am #magic bellybutton
Mouths like chickens.

I resigned my membership from the redhead club about two months ago, but i’ve still got a soft spot for fanta pants. I’m in your corner MBB.

MBB, does the carpet match the curtains, as males are wont to say?

Hell yes! Otherwise there would be no point to the
mockoutrage.
