Threads about manliness are unmanly. :mrgreen:

 

[warren]

I believe I've read that truism before. Perhaps by the same author. Perhaps on every "manliess" thread, and there have been many, that has appeared on this site.

I just watch Home Improvement.

Manliness threads always turn me on. ::

It's ok Frank, you probably didn't know that we've been down this thread before. They always get very interesting, ha ha.

Manliness threads always turn me on.

Like the spin on a traditional topic! 8)

Concern for one's own manliness is but a step away from metrosexuality.

When you braid your armpit hair, do you braid to the left or to the right?

 

[lazar]

Apparently Hemingway wore a chest wig. Sad!

Apparently Hemingway wore a chest wig. Sad!

Did he use human hair? Was it braided?

@ sablebrush52....
I just did a perfect, "spit-take" while drinking my morning coffee. Hilarious comments. Thanks....you made my day start with an out loud, laugh.

Interesting article. Some of these brief, "how-to-smoke-a-pipe" tutorials can be informative, especially for the first time pipe-smokers. I wish I read a few how-tos" before I loaded my first briar with Mixture No. 79, and freight-trained my head into the nearest toilet.
But.... some of the older, vintage tutorials can be a bit ridiculous. I could just see a bunch of mincing GQ fops, showing up at a pipe show, wearing brocade, smoking jackets! "The Manscaped-Millennial-Metrosexual Snowflakes of The Briar".
Grab your chest wig, and merkin and meet me at the Dunhill table.

Manscaped-Millennial-Metrosexual

Why are we talking about Apple again?

 

[indianafrank]

It looks like I poked a hornets nest about being manly. I'd say more...but it's time for my weekly waxing.

When it comes to manliness guides, I'm reminded of this quote by Marcus Aurelius: "Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one."

 

[jpmcwjr]

Those who are really concerned will call some spot in their house a "man cave".

 

[jaytex1969]

Me testicles have testicles....

 

[mikethompson]

Here we go!

Sable I believe you are right...unmanly. Lazar may have hit on something that these blogs are written by metro dudes who think wearing flannels and growing beard is equal to smoking a Marlboro Red and dragging heavy stuff with chains so big they would slow down the meanest pit bull.
