    I fixed my car this morning. Well, i cellotaped the wee tube that carries water to the wipers. But I got to roll up my sleeves and look like i was doing something complicated under the bonnet. Even got a wee bit of oil on my hands, which i wiped with a dirty rag.
    The I had a morning glory boner on the whole drive into work. It was very uncomfortable but about as manly a thing as you can do.
    Now is probably not the best time to mention that cellotape is not waterproof ;)

    I have heard that real men always go straight fo the duct tape, no shilly-shallying around with this Sellotape nonsense. Not actually sure about whether duct tape is waterproof tho.

    No it dries out eventually

    Self amalgamating tape is the mutt's nuts.

    Also the unexpected juxtaposition of "ironing" and "breastfeeding" has unaccountably got me imagining actuall using boobs as irons. I can't decide if that is more or less manly :P

    I'll be over with a few...um "shirts" that need "Ironing" in an hour or so ;)

    To be fair, an iron IS a power tool, and a properly ironed shirt is manly x 1000.

    *adjusts monocle*

    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.

    Some of you need some inspiration for manliness it seems.

    Carefully selected and put on a freshly ironed shirt, affixed the cufflinks in a single motion, tied my tie into an awesome knot, belted my trousers, chose a pair of manly brown brogues, slipped my suit jacket on, placed my wallet and phone in each inside pocket, checked my reflection once in the mirror, and strode out the door like the king of the world.

    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.

    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..

    Hah! Power is nothing without control, Daniel-san. One needs a come-down after cracking the studs with a scaffold-pole and a sledgehammer. :D

    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)
