The Manly Thread

Ha!! I was called "hot" by a 25 year old woman, who is pretty hot herself.

;D

That's happened to me too but it was because she shot me down... in flames!

Recently taught my 3 year old son to pee standing up. Location of training area? The backyard of course. Mummy is less than impressed, but there are some things a women just needs to accept if life is to go on as it should  ;D

The wife picked up a smoked, spiral cut ham for Easter.

I decided to warm it up on the BBQ and smoked it over hickory and black cherry for good measure.

Tell her the alternative is having to mop the bathroom. After all, he can't miss hitting the ground.

Just shaved off most of my beard. I now have a Fu MANchu.

I didn't do anything that had even the slightest risk of unwanted pregnancy associated with it.

I just had a nice glass of Jack Daniels, Osama style:
Two shots and a splash of water  ;D

Don't antagonize them, they learn fast. Next week they'll be tossing green bins at us.

This must have been a truly antagonized raccoon.

I makes me laugh that in answer to me calling him a stud for tearing apart a dashboard of a burning car bare handed, the MWO sais:"I did have a gerber". Double Stud.

What is her name?

From the Governor General's website:

Miranda Suggitt, S.C.
Lindsay, Ontario
Star of Courage

On November 22, 2005, Miranda Suggitt, then 11 years old, risked her life to prevent her mother from being shot. During the evening, Miranda’s father became intoxicated and violent, threatening her mother with a rifle. The rifle went off, missing the woman, who quickly ran outside. Miranda’s father followed his wife and pointed the weapon at her. Without any regard for her own life, Miranda stepped between the two and begged her father not to shoot. He yelled at her to move, but she stood her ground until others helped to take the rifle away and hold him until the police arrived. Through her actions, Miranda showed great courage and prevented a terrible tragedy.

An incredibly courageous young woman, especially so for a then 11 year old.
