There are two types of people in this world, those who like the movie Grease, and those that don’t. Personally I fall into the former group, and find it difficult to understand how anyone can’t find them selves, singing-a-long to Grease Lightening, “You’re the one that I want” and so on, even occasionally uttering some of the lines.
However, after sitting down to watch it on TV last night with my fiance, I found I had at least one, if not several questions that I don’t know if I can watch the film again until they are answered.
1 – During “Summer Loving” when the girls are singing and the bitch with the curly hair (Riz??) kicks “Sandy” and the other bitch off the seat, why does Sandy, and the rest of the spontaneous singers who all magically know the song, continue to sing? I mean wouldn’t you have gotten up and unleashed hell on anyone who kicked you off a seat on your first day at school, when you had just managed to have the entire school spontaneously break into song? Talk about ruining the massive amount of street cred you had just built up!
2 – As a follow on, how does everyone automatically know these songs, I mean I went to high school, trust me, I lived it, sure it was a public and somewhat dubious school full of malcontents, runaways, thugs and criminals and me, but not once did the entire school, or even a minor sub-section or group break spontaneously into song and dance all at once. True, anyone doing so likely would have been lucky to escape with their lives and the only spontaneous group activity people participated in were large scale fights and brawls between various groups, but does this spontaneous gayness and dancing happen anywhere, besides musical theatre and drama schools?
3 – And this is possibly the most puzzling of them all, I am not sure I will sleep again until I know this, but during the “Go Grease Lightening” scene, where the car goes, from shit heap bomb to a “Fully sick”, “fully hectic”, “Put the hectic in hecticness bro”, pumped up, beefed up, chick cruising, beast of a car, why, at one point does Danny (John Travolta) pick up a box/roll of cling film (Glad Wrap/saran wrap) and do a lap of the car with it, then throw it behind him?
Try as I might, I can think of no logical reason for a roll of plastic cling film, normally used for wrapping up sandwiches and keeping food fresh, to be in that scene, it has no right being there. The one explanation I came up with was they for some reason they used it during the spray painting of the car, but by the time it makes it’s uncalled for and unneeded appearance, the car has well and truly been sprayed.
Now I don’t want to hear it is there for dramatic effect, you can stick that explanation right up your clacker buddy, there were other props, like masking tape that could have been used, logically for the same dramatic effect.
I fell asleep sometime during the band stand scene, so I wont go on with any more anomalies, as they are not fresh in my mind, though the backup singers for hte band in that scene have a lot to answer for, for those gold jackets and weird clap spin dance thing they do…it just isn’t time to question that right now.
But can someone please explain these others to me?

Not even 24 hours after posting 3 of the most fundemental and basic rules of being a man, have I come across one of the rules, that I thought went without saying, the rule breaking as well is on a scale so large that it has reached international news status.
So heinous is the breaking of the rules I can barely bring myself to publish this.
However this site and rule breaker need to be outed!
What is the rule I hear you ask?
- Rule 4: No man, excepting for on his bucks night, Mad Monday footy team celebrations or for comical appeal, shall wear womens clothing, wearing of womens clothing and attempting to make it Manly is a crime against all who have penis knocking between their thighs. Rule breakers should be shamed and forced to watch movies such as Rocky, Dirty Dozen, The entire collection of Chuck Norris shows and movies and last but not least, should watch at least 24 hours worth of Lesbian Porn, to hopefully drill it out of them.
- Rule 4, Sub-section a: If during the viewing of the Lesbian Porn, the perpetrator of the heinous act again Manliness, utters any line such as “Wow I like her dress” or comments at all upon the lovely actresses clothing, apart from saying “She is wearing too many clothes” the man shall immediately hand in his penis to the nearest surgeon and be forced to become a full time woman, banning them from a spot on the couch during any cricket, football or car racing event.
You have been fairly warned people

Recently during nights out with the boys and in my general day to day discussions, I have noticed that many men are forgetting the basic unwritten laws of being a bloke, and have crossed the boundaries into womens territory, scaring the life out of me and opening up some pretty awkward social occasions. I guess it is up to me to run a refresher course for all of those out there, that may need to get back up to speed with the laws of manhood.
- (and very possibly the most important) Friends, and other men, should not let friends wear speedos, there is no excuse for this rule, anyone caught wearing speedos, must immediately have the light thrust upon then and their sexuality seriously questioned by all men who witnessed the wearing, worse still the friends of said speedo wearing friend, must surely be ostracized until such time as they have proven themselves to be fit for blokish social exposure.
- Men should never discuss with another man, the goings on of any soap or reality television show, unless it is to inform the other man, of an opportunity to see bare breasted women. Any information beyond this, especially when speaking of the lives of the cast of the soap or reality show outside of the show, should be deemed woman’s talk and the breaker of said rule, should be forced to wear womens clothing until they are sufficiently shamed.
- When confronted with the question of whom should drive, no man should, unless they are unable through the drinking of many a beer, disability or other extreme exceptional circumstance, shall allow a woman to drive, especially if there are other males present to take up driving duties.
These are 3 of the most important rules of being a man, however in the coming weeks, I will continue to update you with further rules, and ask you to offer those that I have missed
These are speedos…these are wrong:
These Are Speedos....These are wrong
