I want to check that out, for tips, you know, but the link is really slow right now. I love their abreviation, though: MD4BALL.
Someone (not me) should do a series of posts on the evangelical movement to reclaim manhood. We're talking heroism, chivalry, the whole nine yards. You see, what women really want is a man to come rescue them...
It's a real thing. The book that started it off was Wild at Heart. The same author has since managed to polish off a companion volume on the true nature of femininity.
i totally thought purple four balls were something else entirely. coming from apostropher, that was something that made me worry that it was nsfw. i guess if it had been four purple balls.
My inbox is so thoroughly crowded from forwards from family members, the spam is crowded out. Hence, the forward blog.
Note that the book below it is The Poor Man's New Testament Commentary. Now, if it were the real Poor Man, I'd, like, totally want to read it.
Oh wow, the forward blog is really . . . something.
How is the four ball the one that gets knocked around? In pool, don't all the balls but the cue ball get knocked around equally? Or does his use of 'billiards' mean that he is referring to some other sport besides eightball or nineball; which would hardly be very manly? (Brits should feel free to be offended.)
Also, we need some comments not on the Sports Illustrated thread. I hereby offer this up.

I've been googling, and I'm at a total loss. What I recognized was the purple four ball.

There's always the Innocence thread.
From PZ's link:
It is a pool metaphor, comparing Christian men to the ball that most often gets knocked around on the table.
So is this some kind of statistical fact. An Illinois Avenue thing?
A few months ago my school had a blitz of right-wing German spam (mostly anti-immirgant stuff). It was very bizarre.
My grandmother likes to make assertions that she expects those around her to agree with. If you state that you disagree, she will argue with you until you do. As she spends her days watching Fox News and Pat Robertson's channel, I usually don't agree but will go along as long as they're not really offensive (e.g. AIDS is a disease visited upon gay people to punish them for their "lifestyle").
The best conversation from one of those random assertions was when she talked about how much she hates Christian rock music (for reasons similar to the ones the former youth worship leader espouses). I could heartily agree about how awful it is and how it lacks any artistic merit.
jesus was a four ball!
Man, now we can cross pollinate the Confuscious joke. but I won't because common decency prevents it. any decency prevents it.

You'll have to at least buy me dinner first. And something nice. Like Waffle House.
The cover shows no deep understanding of the official billard rules. In other news, I am totally busting on my next wheelchair-bound billards opponent whose buttocks are clear of the cushion or seat when striking the cue ball.
