The Man Dynasty 5.0 — This Time it's for Total Manhood (Finished)

[Sophie4563]

I've always called those daisy dukes! I didn't know those were hotpants!

Daisy dukes... bikinis on top. My word would be short shorts.

I'm stumped about why you have so many sculpting stations. I'm assuming it's so you can queue a bunch of statues up, but doesn't Agnes need breaks for food and toilet, disrupting the queue anyway?

I'm sure this question got lost in the enthusiastic welcome of Recipe and Agnes.

[Metropolis Man]

Metro, try to make it as funny as you can for me ok?

What's with the requests now? I don't like working under that kind of pressure.



Just kiddin' of course. I love making people laugh. I have since I was in grade school. To me, few things in life are as sweet as a good laugh. It can just make your whole day.

So, you keep tabs on me, okay Esther? Because if I'm not making you laugh, then my writers are clearly not doing their job and I'll be hiring new ones.

I'm sure this question got lost in the enthusiastic welcome of Recipe and Agnes.

I did answer your question. I think I did. Somewhere.

Agnes is lovely, the manly bedroom is really attractive, the rest of the house is gorgeous. You been taking lessons?  lol  I vote for a baby for Agnes.  She makes really pretty and smart ones.

[Esther1981]

Ok Metro, I will keep a close eye on you from now on!  I wasn't trying to put pressure on you I promise!

I wondered how long it would be before the youngsters here would question hotpants!  The term dates back to the 1960s and 1970s.  When Metro first used it here, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.  Like a blast from the past.

From Wikipedia:

Hot pants -

Categorized as "short shorts", they commonly have an inseam length of two inches or less. These are short, tight shorts, usually made of cotton, nylon, or some other common material. They are meant to emphasize the buttocks and the legs. Launched by fashion designer Mary Quant during the "Swinging London" scene of the mid 1960s,[5] hot pants were very popular up to the early 1970s. During this time the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team created a unit of usherettes called the Hot Pants Patrol, who wore all-in-one garments incorporating hot-pants.

I'm happy to see things are going fine in Man's world. House is really nice, but Agnes looks great now. Hopefully some of her pics will be part of home decor. And you're right about steel bladder. It is mandatory first LTR for anyone in my dynasty.  And I also admire your patience to wait so long for second generation to be born! Looking forward to see more of this story.

I hate explaining my bits. In my opinion, either you get it or you don't. But, the following bit needs a little set-up. Wild pointed out to me yesterday the forum rule of black-only type (I had been using different color for my section headers). My response was not up to my usual standards (sorry, Wild) and the ensuing IM with Pam caused stress for both of us. Long story short...everything is straightened out. So, ladies, this bit's for you...

A Colorless Lifetime Wish Achievement

Things are really starting to pop with the Mans. Hotpants #1 is churning out sculptures like there’s no tomorrow and Recipe just accomplished his Lifetime Wish of Culinary Librarian.



But, Recipe was a little sad—the color has been removed from his life and Dynasty story. Still, he needed to call her and apologize. He needed to be an example. Recipe took a deep breath and made the call.



Pam: “Hello? Pam Marsden speaking.”



Recipe: “Pam, it’s Recipe Man.”
Pam: “Oh, hi Recipe. Hey, what’s happened to your story?”
Recipe: “Pam, you were right. I need to adhere to the rules and remove all color from my story. So, I did.”
Pam: “But-”
Recipe: “Sorry for the misunderstanding, Pam.”
Pam: “That’s okay, but-”
Recipe: “Anyway, I miss the old look but I want my story to be consistent and professional looking.”



“Thank you, T-...Met...(sigh) Recipe. But, you’re misunderstanding. It’s just the type that needs to be black, not pictures. For example don’t do this.”



Recipe: “Oh, my gosh! So sorry, Pam. Well...talk to you later.”
Pam: “WAIT! You need to change things back. I need my hex codes asap.”
Recipe: “Hold on. Gotcha covered....”



“Okay, Pam. We’re good.”



Pam: “Yessssss!!!”
Recipe: “Oh, Pam? One more thing.”
Pam: “Sure.”
Recipe: “Please tell her I haven’t changed my mind. That’s one part of my story I simply can’t change now.”
Pam: “Are you sure? It’s going to tear her up.”
Recipe: “I know. Give her a big hug for me. Maybe the two of you can watch Dancing with the Stars or something.”
Pam: “Okay. Bye, Recipe.”



Pam: “I’m sorry, Agnes. He likes the new hotpants Agnes more.”

Too funny!!!

I wonder if pics of sim-Pam will be showing up all over Carl & Pam's forum, like the Cigar Guy meme.

[ladylaw1978]

I believe Bella was referred to as hotpants because of the fact that she always wore hotpants.  

And said hotpants turned up in more than a few photos.


And OMG. Pam is going to KILL you Metro (that is if she doesn't DIE laughing!!!)

[Schipperke]

Sim-Pam puts in an appearance in the Man Dynasty!  Love it!!  I hope we can see more of her.  And enquiring minds would like to know - how did you get the black and white pictures?

[Metropolis Man]

And enquiring minds would like to know - how did you get the black and white pictures?

It's just a Photobucket effect.

[Sophie4563]

Hilarious! This is going to be a great story.

Pam, thanks for the hot pants explanation.

[Asleep]

Man, that was funny! (No pun intended, I swear!) I wonder how Pam's gonna react to this...

[Pam]

That has got to be the funniest thing I've seen I've seen so far!  I love it!
