IT geeks are polishing programs that will write next year's distribution agreement masterpieces, we all know that, and find Mr. Man "wanting to stay home" ironic because pretty soon he'll have no choice. That was, of course an implicit cruelty in your post.
But guess what flower? some geeks are working on a program that does snide comments on grammar AND can compose the occassional "that's so 1998 post." Sorry flower, but pretty soon you'll just be another "first roomer" trying to tread water like me

Nice try, Hank, but we both know that Mr. flower has been past more velvet ropes than guys like you and me (well, ok, you) will ever see in a lifetime. He does not fear the velvet ropes, he confronts them fully. He sneers at them, scoffs rakishly at them, he takes them home and skins them to make clothing. He struts right through while guys like us fling desperate pleas, like
"but I with" and "can you please check the list again?" Sure, we're in the club, but we're not in VIP gladhanding with Brad and Jen and doing quick bumps from Tara's pinkynail (ok, she's a skank, but she gets the good stuff, IYKWIM). He doesn't always have to produce next-level shit because he is on the side of the rope that defines the next level. The shit.
But it's not all bad, Hank. Life isn't so bad on our side. Like you once wrote, "show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I'll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities."
