Well, down here in San Diego, they are touting a new non-invasive prostate exam that can check from the outside. So, I guess, that could be fun.

Lisa, does bear spray actually repel the bear or does it just make the hiker more tasty? Just curious. If it's the latter, you better lace your shoes up tight :)

After 17 beers, would you still feel the prostate exam? After about 6 I'm usually feeling pretty bulletproof. 17 I might not even notice.

If I drink the 17 beers do I still have to have the prostate exam? I'm not sure how happy my liver's going to be about this idea.

After 17 beers, I'm not sure I'd know which one of the 4 blurred images of the car I'm supposed to get into, and I'd probably have lost my keys by then anyway, but my prostate would be happy. :)

I gotta wonder if a cop has pulled over a drunk driver and got the excuse "I had 17 beers sir so I don't get cancer!" yet.

They could start football anytime now. Order up the pizzas and beer!

No one's tests are a picnic. Yours are full of smashing and poking and prodding. Ours are full of things that just aint right. How to address the child birthing thing. OK Lisa, you have a point. Nope, we don't give birth. The closest we get on the pain scale is being kicked or punched in or falling on the wedding tackle itself, which pretty much temporarily destroys your will to live (We want to puke, We don't care about basic things like breathing. you know, what women think of as a walk in the park). At the end of childbirth, which the average woman has nine months to prep for, as opposed to less than two seconds for a kick to the privates, you have a lovely child and it was all worth it. At the end of getting kicked down there, all you can say, if you can breathe again is "Why couldn't this be as pleasant as my prostate exam?!?"

Besides, you wouldn't want us to carry the babies. Since the baby can hear in the womb, do you want the babies first words to be "Aaagh! You blew the coverage, dumbass!"?

All that is missing from our 17 beer and tons of pizza equation .. is NFL!! "Are you ready for some football?!" heh heh

As for the prostate check by the doc .. I dunno ... we have our own lovely yearly health checks as well as the joy of giving birth .. now this I would love to see a guy do *heh heh heh evil EVIL laugh*

"I love my Prostate (except during my physical) !!!"

This Lisa, would of course be the downside to having a prostate. In this case, prostates don't rock. :/

I want to meet that Doctor. Do the effects of the beer add up or do I have to drink them all in one sitting? So many questions, I think I'll order extra sauce on my pizza from now on.

I love my Prostate (except during my physical) !!!

You know, just now I had a 1 liner that came to mind but I don't want to pole vault over the inappropriate line today. ;)

Hey, it is the guy lounge! You have a good day too.

A few questions:

-If I drink a case (24), can I increase the benefits?
-Will I get better benefits from Molson, Guinness or Warsteiner, since American beers are brewed lighter?
-What about homebrew?
-Can I get the same Lycopene benefits with a party platter size order of cheesey bread and sauce.
-Do I have to eat/drink this much everyday?

Of course the diet idea would be shot and I'd probably give myself a concussion on the elliptical but it's pizza and beer. And I have a prostate!
Prostates rock!

(I wish I had a prostate, I love beer!!!!!! mm mmm mmmm)

Theoretically, anyway, especially when taken with pizza with tomato sauce.

PORTLAND, Ore. - For many men, a finding by Oregon researchers sounds too good to be true: An ingredient in beer seems to help prevent prostate cancer, at least in lab experiments.

The trouble is you'd theoretically have to drink about 17 beers a day for any potential benefit. And no one's advising that.

Researchers at Oregon State University say that the compound xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a protein in the cells along the surface of the prostate gland. The protein acts like a switch that turns on a variety cancers, including prostate cancer.

Dr. Richard N. Atkins, CEO of the National Prostate Cancer Coalition, said the experiments are encouraging and "perhaps men could take it in pill form someday."

He noted that lycopene, an ingredient in tomatoes, and thus also in tomato sauce, has previously been linked to prostate cancer prevention.

"It's every man's dream to hear that beer and pizza can prevent cancer," he said. "However, the 17 beers and four large pizzas needed to get enough xanthohumol and lycopene to help prevent prostate cancer is unfortunately not advised."
