I was brought up in an extended-family deal ruled by women: mother, grandmother, sister, aunt. Which explains my delicate and feminine nature. The female influence continues:

That’s me, youngest niece, mother, oldest niece, and sister. Not a bad-looking bunch, except for old Uncle Ugmo on the left there.

    1. Your mum’s way too nice to have a sharp tongue.  You must have got it from your dad.

      Your sis got the looks though and has passed them on to her daughters.

      Nice family, Tim.

    1. Yaarrrgh! At least we see where the ugly genes went- at least in most Celtic families it’s the other way- the Blair clan provides the tasty female progeny that guarantees that Scots are always the best looking buggers.

      Well look at Sean Connery then.

    1. So how come the ladies are all dressed up nicely and you’re not, Tim? And you are wearing pants in the photo, aren’t you? (Or is it late at the wedding, or whateer, and all of the guys have dropped the ties and jackets?)

      We all are, Tim. For without the rule by women, the picture wouldn’t exist.

      Not a bad-looking bunch

      I’d say you are to reticent in heaping words of praise. No one wants to make it seem, that their genes come from a far superior gene pool. I must say, it is a fine and lovely pool.

    1. Lovely family Tim. The ladies are simply beautiful.  But here’s a tip: Next time suck in your gut, lest you be mistaken for a Fat American™.

    1. #4 Come on Andycanuck, its as plain as the nose on your face. They’re obviously doing the Cotton-eyed Joe. Sheesh, I always thought you were more observant than that.

    1. I have always preferred tall women.

      My daughter-in-law is one of the tallest, smartest, and most beautiful women that I have ever met… and you wouldn’t believe my grandkids… wow!

      My son is great too of course… after all, she chose him.

    1. Nothin’ wrong with tall (full disclosure—I’m 5’11”).

    1. Hmmmm.

      Sorry Tim but I’m working with a significant caffeine depletion here.

      Are you one of those wearing a dress or not?

      If you are then bully for you man!  You’re looking pretty good.

      If you aren’t one wearing a dress, then you’ve got problems.  I suggest wearing a dress right away, though you can stop short of wearing high heels.

    1. OK-but if one of those is the swimming niece I want to see if her fingers or toes are webbed (I still think Tim might be doing some world-domination genetic engineering on the side).

    1. Tim,

      Oh wow.  Um, Tim, with all due respect,  next time you want a photo taken of you, try not standing beside fine looking ladies.  My suggestion is get the tutu woman who pulled the truncheon from the Aussie cop and her cohorts.  You’d look like George Clooney then.

    1. George Clooney.  Exactly my contemplative question.  Isn’t all that female influence supposed to make you like metrosexual or something?  Que Pasa?

    1. Hmm.  I have five elder sisters.  Might explain why I also chose a career in writing—the only means of communication left for me.

      Lovely girls, Tim.  Treat them kindly, as someday they’ll choose your home.

    1. That’s a great looking bunch and you’re not so bad, Dork Boy. Jack Nicholson was raised in an all-female environment (and believed his mother was his sister and his grandmother his mother, but that’s another story) and we all know what a macho-macho man Jack is.

    1. How tall is too tall?  I’m fine with tall, and small.  I just don’t like fat.

      Dave S., you should feel horrible.  I doubt she’s sixteen.

      I don’t discriminate, but I expect to settle down with someone tall.  I hated being short and want to improve my kids chances.

    1. So I sez to me wife, I sez “Darling, sumppin oughta be done for Tim’s poor niece. The plain one what can’t get a man of her own and has to depend on her uncle’s questionable judgment. A cryin’ shame it is. If only she were younger, taller, thinner, more athletic, and had better cheekbones than she does right now.”
      And she sez back to me, “It’s a pity, really. And Tim being half blind, as you can see from his taste in clothing. Don’t we know anyone suitable?”
      “Better make it quick, is all I can say. Else she’ll settle for Mencken_cynic.” And I shake my head remembering how he was so badly disfigured in the oil rig fire outside of Houston.
      “Wot about that young leper boy down the street? He’s got to be better than Dave S.”
      “Why sure,” I replied. “I bet he’d give his right arm for a nice – though sadly unattractive – young woman.” And then I thought that I missed a good opportunity to use the word “literally”.
      “Drop by and see him tomorrow,” sez the missus. “Or better yet, call to him from the street. No sense taking any chances. But fer Gawd’s sake, just do it before Tim fixes her up with Mojo.”
      And we both suppressed a shudder.

    1. I know how you feel, Tim. The five most important people in my life: mother (RIP), aunt (RIP), sister, wife, daughter.

      And I like being the only male in a house full of females (that includes the two cats).

    1. The offensive comment that was here has been removed and the commenter (note: a new troll who has tried to hide behind a longtime commenter’s screen name) has been banned. The comment, however, has been saved in case Tim wants to press charges, as we do have aaron-double-underscore-half-wit’s IP address. The Management.

    1. You know, if this was a photo of some lefty’s sisters, neices, etc., we would be falling over each other to make the most lecherous and nasty comments possible.  As it is, I still feel inclined to make a particularly fresh comment to Tim’s sister, who is very comely.

      But something tells me that this is a trap!  Probably Andrea is hidden behind the door ready to spring on anyone who makes the least unfavorable comment.  It’s a culling!

      It’s also a quashing of our right of expression to say titties and ass, that’s what it is.  Why don’t we all just turn Communist, eh?

      How unkind.

      My father had a build and a smile like that and therefore I regard these attributes as those that properly belong to proper, mature men.  Don’t like skinny men at all.

      Much better to have more than one chin when smiling than to have a neck like Jeff McMullen does these days.

      This picture offers the merest hint of his present, alarmingly wattled, state.
