Sounds like you need to quit using Epoxy. Maybe you can try this

Just like Bondo?

The epoxy fumes get focused?

If I missed the race and somebody told me Jamie won, I'd punch them in the mouth and call them a damn liar. McMurray? Whodathunkit? Somebody needs to pull his Man Card for crying on TV though. But, it's not like he had a firm grip on that card to begin with

[Lady's Human]

He just won the biggest race of his career after losing his ride and winding up with a team no one knew whether it was going to have enough sponsorship to run the full year.

Pull his man card? What kind of sexist crap is that?

Men who have cried on TV.....Dick Vermeil, Brett Favre, Chocolate Myers, the entire booth at the 500 last night, Helio Castroneves, Allan Iverson...........

When you just pulled your entire career and possibly the existence of your team out of the trashcan with a win in the biggest race of the year, I think it's allowed.

I don't care that Jamie cried after the 500...many have. The problem for me to two fold, first is wasn't just eyes welling it up, it was full out, snotty nose sobbing. Which would be fine...expect he has cried like that after every one (which is only 4!) of his wins. I'll give him a pass on this one, but should he wion again, and we see more tears, then it is time to think about pulling the man card.

Jamie does seem like a sweet kid and always seems so happy on TV. I'm just happy all my guys finished ahead of Jimmie Johnson!

Well, if none of my guys could win I'm at least happy that Jamie won...even if he did cry
All in all, what a great race!

I've tried for the last 45 minutes to get those $1 tickets to Atlanta...looks like it just wasn't meant to be

Really? I don't get it. There is nothing wrong with men crying. What a race that was! The two long breaks while they attempted to fix the track. Think of how nerve wracking that would be. Anyway, he is a sensitive guy. I think that is better than a guy that has no emotions at all.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

I've always seen Jamie as a rather un-talented pansy who catches a lucky break every now and again.

My problem is understanding why the 500 winner is so celebrated? Sure you gotta get in the proper line at the proper time but c'mon nobody wins the 500 on their own. Everybody in that lane needs a friggin' trophy for pushing the winner across the line, and they probably don't care who is at the front, they're just trying to get ahead of the other line.

No, there isn't anything wrong with men crying. I just think if he starts winning more and continues to bawl like a baby everytime, it is going to get old.

I will admit that I'm among those men, and there are many, that cry during an emotional time. As young boys we are conditioned to repress our emotion because it's not manly. When I was very young my father would spank me and with every swat, I would hear "Hush" because I was crying. I never understood why he was saying hush, until in his latter days admitted he had always been emotional and would cry during emotional times. He did not want me to be a crier like he was. In spite of all the conditioning I find I tear up at emotional times. I would probable blubber like McMurray if I won Daytona. I have known men that pride themselves for never crying. I really feel sorry for them because they are so repressed they also have a hard time being intimate. I find the older I get the more I realize that it is not unmanly to cry.

In the same vain I was always taught men do not embrace (hug) when greeting or saying good bye, they only shake hands. I ran away from home at 17 because of a conflict with my father, who never showed any emotion toward me. When we reconciled when I was 22 I hugged him and continued that practice until his death when I was 42. I taught my son that embracing another man is not unmanly. In my old age I realize those emotions that were repressed did more damage than good.
