sent this to my wife. Lol

I just wanna get drunk. 

I'm starting to think you're following me Dave

To be a true man you must beat at least 5 things a day, can be anything, from your penis to your neighbour.
 
but seriously, i like what you guys have put down so far. I completely agree with everything that has been said. I'll try and write a bit more once the footies finished because i'm not really concentrating. BTW the bit at the tops a joke, just thought i should mention that.

I happen to think that some of the problems we currently face is a lack of real Masculine Role Models.  Drifter's "Get off my lawn" thread highlights problems with family that probably have roots in "single mother" homes and lack of father's.  50% divorce rates, etc.
 
So what does Being a Man mean to you?
 
Share your thoughts, passages from books, how to videos, famous quotes, etc.
 
I'll start with a passage from a book I'm currently reading entitled
 
The Art of Manliness
 

on Self-Reliance
 
Every Man Should be able to Save his own Life
from Endurance, 1926
by Earle Liederman
 
Every man should be able to save his own life. He should be able to swim far enough, run fast and long enough to save his life in case of emergency and necessity.  He also should be able to chin himself a reasonable number of times, as well as to dip a number of times and he should be able to jump a reasonable height and distance.
 
If he is of the fat, porpose type, naturally he cannot do all, if any, of these things; he has nobody to blame but himself, and his way of living that has brought his body into its condition of obesity.
 
Suppose - and it has happend many times - there should be a fire at sea or on a lake or river; should one be half a mile or more from the shore, he would be mighty thankful to realize, were he compelled to jump for his life from the fire, that he could swim that distance and reach the shore in safety.
 
Suppose one were in a burning building and he had to lower himself hand under hand down a rope or down an improvised rope of bedclothing tied together to reach the ground in safety; he again would be thankful a thousand times that he possessed the strength and endurance in his arms and coordinate muscles that would enable him to save himself. Such things never may happen, and let us hope they do not, but what has happend always is possible to occur again - and, in fact, is always happening to someone.
 
I do not believe in everyone striving to be a long distance swimmer, a long distance runner, or any kind of endurance athlete.
 
But he should be able to swim at least half a mile or more; he should be able to run at top speed two hundred yards or more; he should be able to jump over obstacles higher than his waist; and he should be in condition to pull his body weight upward by the strength of his arms, until his chin touches his hands, at least fifteen to twenty times; and as for pushing ability, he should be able to dip between parallel bars or between two chairs at least twenty-five times or more.
 
If he can accomplish these things he need have no fear concerning the safety of his life should he be forced into an emergency from which he alone may be able to save himself.
 

 

Glad you're enjoying it Mike, Dave couldn't have this for a nicer and more deserving person.

I think I have it Rich. I'll have to see. Its packed up somewhere

Oh yeah they do! They are on some next level shit! They're almost like the bots on blops2 when they're turned up to the highest difficulty, aiiiiiiimbooooot!

Don't listen to anyone on here, everyone sucks, barr me of course but i'm from Hackney and people who live there are quite obviously kewl! Mainly cuz we spell cool, kewl.
 
Hope you enjoy your stay dude

A headteacher here in London was fired a while back because he expected the kids in class to stand up when he entered the classroom.
 
This blew my mind. When I was at school, I had to have my shoes polished, my shirt tucked in, my tie done up, and when the bell went, we had to line up outside the classroom against a wall and await inspection. If your shit wasn't up to standard, you weren't coming in. Upon entering the classroom we'd have to stand at our desks, behind our chairs and wait until our teacher greeted us. Only then did we greet him or her and then he or she would allow us to be seated.
 
Those were the days. None of this bullshit that kids get away with now. Don't get me wrong, I was still a naughty fucker and took the piss at every opportunity, but at least we learned respect. If only when the teachers were looking.
 
Kids nowadays have more power than the teachers do. It's fucking ridiculous.

I also agree with Bee's but i think my video might be slightly different

He's coming!

Na a bulb's a bulb and a light fixture is everything but the bulb, that's at least what i was taught but then knowing where i worked that's probably wrong lol 
 
There's nothing worse than pulling a fixture down and seeing wires hanging about everywhere :/
