    You forgot your car keys...or do you take the bus? Damn sissy!

    I got up this morning, pulled a wrinkly old shirt out, pulled on my old blue jeans, chose my only pair of steel toe boots. Placed my wallet and phone in the same pocket, my car keys in the other. I ate 2 dry sticks of Weetabix before driving my beast of a car to work for a 12 hour slog working a job only a man could do before coming home in a ball of sweat to find steak, chips and a glass of milk sitting at the table waiting for me to devour.

    Yer not a steel worker are ya? According to the Simpsons they are all kinds of manly :pac:

    These fellas have their own ideas on manliness. I think this is my favourite line.

    " Our sexual life generally consists of BDSM, especially sadomasochism. Our brothers aren’t engaged in tenderness on silk sheets – we commit truly manly acts."

    Smashed a wall with a sledgehammer. Was disturbed by how much I enjoyed it. I looked long and hard at the living room wall and thought of reasons why a door would be inferior to a gaping hole; fortunately the door remains.

    smashed my womans back doors in. there are so many parallels with this post its scary actually

    Not a patch on the gentle, barely-audible "TICK" from a torque-wrench as you dial in exactly 95lb-ft putting them back on, though. In the words of the great Tim Allen: Ugh-Ugh-Uuuugghhh! :D

    pft you use a torque wrench like a mammies boy, I tighten things by pure feel based on the manliness of tighter than it needs to be [well according their guidelines] but not tight enough to start striping the threads

    torque wrench..pffftt..

    Yes, but in order to be properly manly you have to have your "man" do it for you, preferably whilst you concentrate on finding the source of the Nile whilst avoiding cannibals and headhunters.

    This is also true.

    It will also turn out that your man is an older gent, seemingly mild, was in the army, veteran of many wars, and is a right vicious bastard with any kind of a blade, while always possessing the correct type of tea for any situation.

    Real men don't get sunstroke - real men have tough weathered skin from all of the outdoor activities such as wood chopping, hiking, shooting and fishing. They have a dark protection tan on their face and forearms (just below the rolled up sleeves of the red and black plaid shirt)

    Cut down the trees behind my backyard with a chainsaw.
    Power washed the whole back yard and washed the car while I was at it.
    Made a curry from scratch.

    You should construct an overly complicated rig to hold said umbrella over your little girl.

    While your protection of your spawn is commended as manly, the lack of construction or demolition is alarming.

    I cut down 3 Leylandii trees in my back garden, starting at 7 this morning. They were between 25 and 30 foot high. The first one nearly fell on top of me. However, I didn't use one of those girlie chainsaws. I just used a bow saw and my herculean strength...

    I'm in the process of digging up a washing line pole that I concreted into the lawn last year (where the missus asked my to locate it) as it turn out my manly instincts 12months ago were right and a washing line under a line of trees will get no sunshine and have loads of moss and bird poo on it ...

    obviously as a man, the dirt on stuff coming off the line doesnt bother me but herself wont hang anything on the in now so its soft towels all round ... one just can not be using soft towels, they need to air dry into something resembling 80 grit sand paper (For the lads on here boasting about their hair straighteners sandpaper is what real men use to clean surfaces before painting, ...)

    I hear ya, I hate soft towels. :) we don't have an outside line, but I distinctly remember my dad doing a wash when my mum wa away and leaving shirts spread over a couple of bushes to dry:) I asked him if they weren't full of twigs and leaves and sh1t (no bird droppings, luckily) and he just said "Tis grand sure, I'm a man, that stuff doesn't bother me":)

    Went out last night for a quiet social night with beer, jager, whiskeys (12 year aged I'll have you know) vodka, gin and rum.

    Woke up at noon and ate a bacon and sausage sandwich :)

    I wheelbarrowed a metric ton (or as I said when I saw it " a metric fúckton") of topsoil the length of the garden and up a slope to my new vegetable plot.
    Took a break in the middle, which probably takes away some points, but my beverage of choice was two bottles of ice cold beer! :pac:

    On Sunday I fitted two new shelves in the shed. And then, I carefully arranged all my various containers of engine oils, coolants, brake/clutch fluids, ATF, etc. carefully upon them in "grabbable" order, i.e. according to most-often used. I then pondered this deeply for a while, decided I had gotten the order subtly wrong, then did it again. Then, happy, I went to the pub.

    . Putting on a pink shirt and getting away with it is manly.

    Wearing a pink shirt isn't manly - not even being aware of the colour of your shirt is manly. And you're not getting away with it - no man looks good in a pink shirt. Every time I see a man in a pink shirt I think : "Why? Did he pick that off a rack, hold it up and think to himself : 'This. This will look good on me.'?", when 99% of the time it's some old guy desperately trying to look fashionable.

    Also -100 man points for aknowledging pink as a colour. The Germans don't even have a word for 'pink'. It's light red. :D
    Did she have a pair in the car? - Yes, she did.
    Were they pink? - Yes, they were.

    You could just have not worn sunglasses? :)

    Burst into the server room this morning and did a traditional Maori war-dance, while reciting:

    This is our land that rumbles
    It's our time! It's our moment!


    The I.T. guys started giving me funny looks. I felt a bit of a fool - turns out they said they needed a "hacker" to get the old mainframe restarted...
