Man card criteria . . .

[GregR]

<- Farts, lights it, bongs beer

I'm in!

thats the spirit! this IS the drucken ramblings forum!

 

[Madman]

These are the requirements for the man card:

7 years of jazz dancing and 5 years of tap.

Details aside, I think the fundamentals of earning a man card stem from a man's willingness to:
- do it himself
- do it right
- do it to last
- take responsibility for what he has done

This is it at the core. ^^^^

However, I must add to the list. A man should be able to...

Shake hands like a man - no limp fish
Tie his own necktie
Dress himself for a funeral
Balance his own checkbook
Write a letter
Give a compliment
Make a toast

I think the key components for a Man Card are:

Provide for your family (be it hunting, building shelter, or being a great business man to financially set yourself up to provide)
Accept help from those who can
Help those who Cannot (truly unable)
Put those who deserve it before yourself.
Respect
Love


But in the spirit:
Operate a handsaw
Own a power saw
Make a 90° joint
Sweat copper ( I just started doing this myself so it's on the list )
Attempt to fix everything himself first even if it causes a bigger problem
Drive a Stick
Operate a Motorcycle
Cook Meat
Brew Beer
Out-fart your wife.

I always love these threads because of how little I can do. Most of this stuff is specialty stuff that no man has any real "need" for in today's world.

Like the following list:

cook 4 great meals well(mine are eggs Benedict, ribs, meatloaf, and a killer fudge brownie)only 4???? And brownies are far from a meal

They are if you're a woman!!

This is it at the core. ^^^^

However, I must add to the list. A man should be able to...

Shake hands like a man - no limp fish. Stop shaking when opponent's hand is seperated fom his body

Tie his own necktie. The best way to choke a victim. Serial killing is manly!

Dress himself for a funeral I've been waiting YEARS for a function to wear that Hawaiian shirt!

Balance his own checkbook On his nose while drinking a yard of ale....easy!!

Write a letter FU (oops! that was two letters)

Give a compliment You have a nice tight ass man! I would totally do you if it were not for your HIV

Make a toasted cheese sandwich then eat it with a can of sardines.

Do I get my man card back? huh? huh

But in the spirit:
Operate a handsaw While drunk

Own a power saw (or a neighbours)

Make a 90° joint and smoke it

Sweat copper instead of actual sweat

Attempt to fix everything himself first even if it causes a bigger problem I can soooo do that!!

Drive a Stick and putt a twig

Operate a Motorcycle Operate!!?? seriously? OPERATE!!?

Cook Meat Friction burns on your willy don't count

Brew Beer What forum is this again?

Out-fart your wife. I lose.

Wasn't it the woman that historically were the brewers in the family?
Number one requirement for a man card is always being ready to take responsibility for anything you have done, and be ready to face the consequences. Trying to weasel out of responsibility's is for kids and cowards.

Boring alert! This is the drunken assed mindless mumbling rambling thread!:cross:

 

[sterling214]

I'm at work, I have to keep it to a slight buzz. I'll work on drunken assed mindlessness when I get home.

 

[TexLaw]

Yeah, the whole "man card" and "man rules" thing is fun, as long as it's meant in fun and taken that way, and it usually is. Any fella who doesn't find it fun ought to have his man card taken away.

Anyhow, to be man? Simply said, but not earned. You must take care of yourself and those around you. Not just those you care about, but those around you. Men are responsible; children are not. If you got the x and the y doing the genetic tango in your nuclei, you are either a man or a child, and the line between the two is clear.

Yeah, I mean all that. If your enemy is around you, you "take care of" that enemy, know what I mean?

Not a one of those made me feel more of a "man" than knowing who I am is
fair and honest, and that I try to understand myself and others.

number 1 requirement for a Man Card, Be able to properly use the QUOTE tool. I mean for gods sake, it does it for you. You literally have to TRY to mess it up

What else should I be doing? By the way, here is my card too.

I think once you edit it it takes the block away. I edit so my point is clearer, or at least that is my intention.

..........hmmmm, don't know why sometimes it takes the block away.

 

[JesseRC]

Letting SWMBO mow the lawn while you are home definately takes the man card away.

 

[dataz722]

Depends, what is she wearing and do you watch while having a beer? Depending on your answer you may get the Platinum man card.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

My claim to man fame..... The police inspector that came to my house and was asking questions as to why someone throwing rocks at my house while i was at the pub..... Him:- "So, who are you screwing that you shouldn't be?"......Me:- "um, er, well,....Oh! look!! A flying cheese sandwich!!"

Well, yeah, it didn't really go quite like that, but looking back that woulda been the best answer.

 

[Bedlam]

Two points to make here:

1. What does it mean when you are a female and can do almost all of those things mentioned. (can't dial in a scope very well, don't know how to sweat copper, but can weld a bit. Otherwise, most of the ones mentioned are in the affirmative.) I'm sure many of the women who frequent this site would qualify. Do we get a special card? Huh? I want a card!

2. On the flip side, and in the spirit of the exercise, I think pleasuring a woman (or partner--not to discriminate here against our alternative-lifestyle brethren) should be on the list. Not just "bagging" women (or partners). Any idiot can claim the ability to "get" a woman/partner. I mean truly, honestly pleasuring a lover, to the point of sweaty exhaustion and incomprehensible babble of appreciation.

Mandatory. No doubt. Put it on the list.

 

[sterling214]

Yeah, knowing your way around a vag. would probably be up there somewhere.
I've checked a lot of other things off my list since I've moved into my own house. I'm not paying some jack-hole to work on something in my house until I've already f'ed it up beyond all recognition.

 

[Yooper]

well my brew buddy and I were talking about things that a guys should just either be able to or know how to or just should do. so it made me wonder what everyone on here thinks is necessary to retain their man card. a few of them that we came up with;

Drive a manual transmission (this was very high on the list for some reason)
be able to use just about anything as a bottle opener
BBQ at a moments notice
parallel park

anything you want to add?

zero a rifle
dope in a scope
clean/use a handgun, pistol, rifle at a decent level
drive fast, safely (track days or live in Germany)
Fish
clean a fish
do an oil change
cook 4 great meals well(mine are eggs Benedict, ribs, meatloaf, and a killer fudge brownie)
First aid
change a tire
start a fire
build simple shelter
know how to clean/find water
change brake pads on a car, both disk and drum
how to swim

Wow- I have earned my man card. I can do all of those things, plus a few others. I feel so proud!!!!! I even have the man-****s!

Seriously, I think all adults should be self-sufficient, but some of us are more able to think in a mechanical way. I'm a bit of a Mr. Fix it around the house. I can fix just about anything, but usually don't have all the tools I would like to have. I don't have a cement drill bit, for example (don't even ask about that "little" project).

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

I would like to have. I don't have a cement drill bit, for example (don't even ask about that "little" project).

,That would be called a masonry bit.......Man card revoked, girly girl!

 

[HBHoss]

,That would be called a masonry bit.......Man card revoked, girly girl!

and you probably would want to use a hammer drill.

I can do all these things, but I learned them.

1. Manual Transmission - I learned how to drive in my dad's Chevy 2500. He would make me go half-way up a steep hill, then stop and go. You learn fast.
2. Bottle Openers - Most guys learn this out of necessity...if they don't they have to go for the ***** twist-offs and they might cut their soft little hands.
3. BBQ at a moments notice - Fire is really not that tough...all you have to do is get burned a few times and you get the idea.
4. Parallel park - Living in San Francisco made me an expert...I only need about 1" on each side of the truck. But, again, this was learned due to necessity. I know some people who live around here that did not even drive a car until they were in their 20s, but they could kick your ass

I'm not what one would call a tough guy. I guess I've mastered these arts, however, so there must be a flaw to this logic.

 

[Yooper]

and you probably would want to use a hammer drill.

Well, I borrowed a hammer drill from a guy friend (and that hammer drill is HOT! by the way) but I had to buy the bits. It's like $45 for the bit I needed, so I just hired a guy to do it, for $25 an hour. But, nothing like drilling through 26 inches of concrete to make you feel like a real man!

 

[DeathBrewer]

You guys all forgot:

"Look up how to do anything on the internet."
