Yeah. See what I did there?

Anywho, since talking about how I'm going to kill you all and eat your brains wasn't apparently girly enough for The Girl Thread I decided to make a guy thread. Partly in retaliation and partly because of social elitism, but mostly because I'm gonna' eat your brains to gain your power.

I seem to recall there being one before, but maybe it was all a demented hallucination...

Either way here's where you talk about guy things. Like... Well, how I intend to eat your brains for one. That's definitely violent enough to qualify. And how many Jacob's Cream Crackers you can fit in your mouth at any given time.

Anywho, after I slice open your skulls and feast on the goo inside, gaining your power, I shall use that power to become a god and float through the voids of space using this planet as an ark.

Also, cars and junk maybe...

When I'm at the iGaming place with my friends, you'll hear me shouting in Russian, German, Vietnamese, Italian, French, Dutch, English (duh), and ASL (Oxymoron?).

I was doing manly gym stuff today and despite the word Gymnasium meaning "a place to be naked" they don't actually let you do that. However this was nearly put to the test today.

So after a solid workout... well cardiovascular workout (9.5km/h for 30min running :smallsmile: ) I went into the changing room and started getting changed for the steamroom. Whilst I was doing so I noticed another guy had dropped his membership/locker swipe card. So I tried to hail him to tell him he'd dropped his card but he was too fast. So I donned my swim shorts and towel, swiped my locker and tried to follow to the exit. But I was too slow. In putting on an article of clothing he had enough time to escape. So I explained to the staff that I saw this happen and I was too slow but at least I was decent despite being the least dressed person in the room.

So I had my steam room session. Had a freezy cold shower. And got to the locker. Swiped my card. No response. Swiped it again. Nothing. Then a thought crossed my mind. Had I swiped my locker with the card I'd handed in?

This time it was just a towel I had to traverse the length of the gym. One item of non clothing. I explained what I thought had happened and they dug out the card and took it to the changing room. Swipe card tried. Nope nothing. That's the trouble with swipe cards, there's nothing to remind you which locker was yours. I'd not used the wrong card to lock the locker, I'd been trying to open the wrong one all along. So I looked a bit silly. And I'd worn far too little in public twice.

No, actually that whole last paragraph was a lie. I tried the adjacent lockers first before seeking help and thus resolved the story. But real men exaggerate, we all nearly caught a fist this <-----> big. Rar!

On the issue of shaving:

1. shaving your legs = unmanly unless you're a sexy swimmer

2. shaving your underarms = manly because real mean want to look good wihout a shirt on

3. shaving your head = trog

4. shaving your face = manly because it makes you suave. UNLESS you grow out a presentable (hair length btwn. 1 and 3 cm) beard, in which case you're still suave. And last, with sideburns one has to be careful to keep them trimmed and such so as to avoid that rugged-just-kidding-actually-a-slob look.

5. shaving elsewhere = [CENSORED]

I personally, after not shaving for three weeks due to jet lag from Italy and summer laziness finally have shaved all of my face 'cept for sideburns and eyebrows (no eyebrows = weird) because they look good on me right now.

I'm somewhat dissapointed with the level of manliness sofar displayed on this thread. For example, everyone knows that there's few things more manly than body hair. Lots of body hair, the more the manlier. If you want to be hairless it's much easier when you're a woman.

armpits: depends on ur style and stuff

other place: i used to never shave down there, but after having a weired conversation with a couple of bro's, they convinced me to do it, because its kind of a courtesy for your partner. and its never cold enough to have to have that hair there

Well my opinion on shaving is that real men are hairy, this is inclusive of hair at least past the shoulders and at least a small beard.

Take the vikings for example, no-one can realy argue that they wern't manly!

All though I guess I lose man points on the whole fact I don't realy drink or sware very much...

Trenchcoats, insanity, and swearing can be manly, depending. However, there are exceptions. For example, if you have the type of insanity that makes you cry all the time, that's very unmanly. If, however, you have the type of insanity that makes you believe that you're George Washington, that's very manly.

I'm pretty sure if you're really manly then you don't need to swear. People get the message when you're beating them with their own arm.

Trenchcoats are mostly manly if they're oldschool, like if you're a private eye or Humphry Bogart or fighting in trenches. For the most part, the rest of the time they're manly neutral.

Edit: Very manly ninja. See, you don't need swearing.

I agree on the matter of "fedora + trench coat > trilby + trench coat".

I have a khaki Burberry trench coat (before they betrayed their own brand) and a brown felt fedora. On cold days I wear the trench coat with my ushanka for the maximum "I am KGB agent, yes? I vill infiltrate your intelligence, yes?" look. If I had to, I could break out the deerhunter's and the pipe and go all Sherlock on yalls asses. :smalltongue:

Also, what could be more manly than...

A murderous, psychotic, Soviet Admiral who skippers the nuclear ICBM submarine Morž?

Also, it couldnt be rick astley because he isnt questionable. He is exactly what it says on the tin. And he will roll you.

For the record, i own a black felt diamond crown fedora. If they ever handed out an award for Fedora In The Playground i would hopefully win.

Where's the talk about FOOTBALL! American football that is, before anyone starts bringing up this nonsense about kicking things with their feet.

And POKER. Gambling you know, 5-card stud is all manly and like. And smoking stogies while drinking beer and watching the fight on the tube and slapping yer girl's hind end when she walks by and telling her to get you another beer!

And what about action movies! Where things are blowing up and dudes are swinging in to save the day.

Plus, no flexing or guys calling each other wusses or making fun of the size of others guys manhoods even though they have never seen it and don't want to (at least most of us, yes I'm looking at you!).

Let's step it up GUYS!

Vehicle maintenance rants count, right?

The other day I went to visit my grandparents and I arrived to find my grampa's truck sitting on a flat tire so I got to help with that for a while.

First, the jack that came with the truck isn't big enough to actually lift the wheel high enough to replace the tire when used in the spot it was designed to lift from. I ended up having to get out the jack that came with my car and lifting from the frame itself back under the wheel. It seems like a major flaw when the jack you provide with the vehicle needs to be up on a 6-inch block to do it's job. If we'd been on the side of the highway instead of in their driveway we would have been SOL.

Second, I swear that thing must have been on there since he bought the truck 10 years ago, it was stuck real good. I had to whack the wheel with something heavy a few times just to loosen it up to the point where I could start working it off of the studs. Getting the rusty spare onto the studs was equally problematic. Having the truck jacked up in an unorthodox way just added to the fun here.

Then I finally got to go in and have dinner before having my grandma kick my butt at Scrabble (314 to 280, fairly low-scoring game for us).

American Football is the correct term. Football with no prefix is an entirely different game. There is no such thing as soccer. Bloody colonials.
Both of them are, of course, inferior by far to the game of kings: Chess.

That goes for poker as well, though it can be fun. I haven't played poker since I finished school sadly.

Nope. Bestiality is a crime because animals cannot give informed consent to sexual activity*. Therefore, anything sentient is fair game so long as you can convince him/her/it to say 'yes'.

*With humans. With other animals is okay. Consent is also apparently not necessary to make them into meat products.

Now see, in New Zealand, I consider virtually everyone to be fairly manly, I guess it's something about living in a country where all the kids run barefoot on rocks and climb trees right to the top, where all the spiky leaves and fragile branches are.

Blowing stuff up is not necessarily manly. Fireworks are not manly, because nowadays they're just little lights. Blowing yummy food up is not manly. Blowing up tiny amounts of diluted chemicals up in a science lab with safety goggles on is not manly at all.

And, because I can never get my female friends to agree with me on this one:

You must be able to play at least 1 variation of poker. You don't even need to be able to play it well, but if somebody says, for example, "seven card stud" or "Texas hold'em" you should know how to play it. Learning more is just gravy.

I'm not particularly good at poker, but I'm not as bad as some people I've played against. That might just be the fact that I play very conservatively so I don't go bust early if we're playing tournament-style or something.
