Manly Things

Huntsman: Rendering you speechless provided me with a small manly moment that I'm not sure was completely deserved.

Deal, and that goes for any SF member who happens to visit the Tokyo/Yokohama area.

Getting out of the car in a parking lot when some A**holes whining that I took his spot and he shuts up once he sees just how big I am.

Tying my girl to the bed and... well thats for another forum, and she likes it.

Wearing a kilt and boots.

Doing my own thing, regardless of what people think.

Having a big stainless ring, through the end of my thing.

hmmm.... hugely different concepts of manly here.



LOL.

today was first day of passover - got up at 8 am to smoke a 20 pound turkey and 2 7 pound brisketsQUOTE]


Well prepared brisket is the bomb! I never had it until one of my jewish friends had us over for passover. Damn!

She always invited me and another friend who were always sure to clean up any extras. Hope it all turned out well.

thanks, turned out great. but the act of sitting in the yard, drinking and smoking a cigar while keeping an eye on the smoking process - that was a blast.

Drinking whiskey from the bottle, weights, shaving with a piece of actual metal, eating breakfast foods for breakfast, making a point to let women know I am staring at their breasts when I'm talking to them, instead of clearing my throat when its kinda congested just talking having it make my voice cool and raspy (although that is risky because it could go the other way and crack high pitched)

Wow. There are some real hardasses on this board. I have a lot of respect for you guys.

I'm constantly adding to my list of things I want to do, and several of these posts have inspired new entries. (Not putting a ring at the end of my thing, though, Dmntd )

Cheers.

interesting, related article. guys who right about drinking and fighting and macho stuff. says alot about our society - 50 years ago, manly books were about guys who went halfway around the world and engaged in firefights with nazis over the future of the world. now it is about guys who drink till they puke and lie to women to get laid.

Well our grandfathers took the Nazis out of the equation, but...

* Getting into a motorcycle accident, walking away from it, and calmly and sagely talking with a bystander about how "that was something, wasn't it?"

Meanwhile inside your mind you're shaking and thanking God you're still alive.

* Graduating from recon school.

* Ordering way too much for last call.

Well, you have an interesting breadth and depth going on there. Definitely impressed.

globe: Point well taken.

Life only allows me to have a virtual drink with you both, so,

Cheers,
Huntsman

There's a skit by Dane Cook called "Struck By A Vehicle". Your comment reminded me of it. Download it, it's good. It will make you feel like a man.

-Black coffee and Camel Filters make me feel like a man after waking up at 2 on easter sunday.

Having a bad day and screaming, WHERE'S THE VAN?!

Lying to girls so they'll sleep with you. JUST KIDDING.

When I swam competitively, we somehow managed to make a non-contact sport that one day will be dominated by women feel manlier than anything. Passing a guy on the anchor leg and breathing to his side so he can watch you put your hand on the wall first was awesome. I think my testicles retracted when I quit.
