Save your man drama

OK, I know, I'm not supposed to poke fun at events in the news, but I found a comment on the Facebook page that was just too hilarious, at least to me.

The issue is not funny because, realistically, someone could have been seriously injured or killed from the nine holes drilled in a waterfowl guide's pontoon boat, but the comment, referring to the baiting and sabotage going on at Roanoke Rapids Lake as man drama, couldn't be more true than a properly aligned front end.

Man drama, imagine, most times when we think of drama we think of it as something inconsequential, like on most reality shows these days.

You know, Tiffany broke a nail right before her big date with Chad and now he won't see her because Amber has better looking nails.

Man drama. That is the perfect description of what this is and, unfortunately, this testosterone ball is going to get someone hurt.

I can think of other man drama, you know, dissention in the ranks of the cornhole club because Billy Bob's bag was 2 ounces over weight or somebody counted a leaner when it wasn't.

Then, I suppose, there could be man drama in the gym when ripped Chad, the same one who dissed Tiffany, gets mad at Zach for asking Tiffany out when he ditched her for Amber. That's man drama personified.

Then consider the man drama in the garage when Brad disses Chad, yes Chad is all over the place, for muffling his Harley when he should have made it louder.

Yes, man drama, it has a certain ring to it but Butch hanging out at the pool hall and Steve, who are about to fight over Butch choosing a girlie Michelob Ultra, would probably call it beef.

A couple of months ago I was threatened with man drama because I took the high road and gave concerned advice to a friend.

Yeah, go ahead, tough guy, and say it's not man drama when that's exactly what it is.

Do me a solid, as a tough guy might say, and save your man drama for something less important than putting someone's life in danger, no matter if they may be part of the problem. Get into some man drama over Bud or Bud Light, Cowboys over Redskins or who has the loudest pipes. Seriously, you could get somebody hurt.

What Maureen speaks is the truth!! This town is full of immature "party all the time" men with no sense of responsibilitie s or care for them!! Women pull the weight in this town..dont believe it..take a poll and see..There are some good men out there but they are few and far between..

Happily married here to a real man for 15 years, thanks. Of course, I had to import him from somewhere else. The Roanoke Valley boys are either too lazy to hold a job and build a career, or their only idea of a good time is hanging out and getting drunk. It's all misplaced priorities. They think nothing of missing a rent/mortgage payment to buy an ATV, and will ignore their kids to hang out with their equally immature friends. And let's not forget the Momma's Boy syndrome that's such a problem here!

Lance nailed the issue here - too many Drama Queens among the menfolk!

Hey Maureen, You know what the Roanoke Valley could use?? A few more women who knew when to shut up and keep their bitter dumped rear-ends at home!! You women moan and complain about "men being boys" but if you would get over your last 3 ex's in a respectable amount of time, and quit being the bitter cat women, you would realize that the problem is... WOMEN!

What you describe has noting to do with men. It's Little Boy Drama, pure and simple, and nothing but a major sign of immaturity. We've got a lot of little boys running around who are in their 20's, 30's and 40's. Maybe you can start a Man Up the Roanoke Valley campaign? The women of the area would sure appreciate a few more REAL men!
