The descriptions do fit every single beer commercial ever produced. I noticed that.

katharina:

That post was meant to follow my own post, not Baldar's, so I wasn't responding to his shower scenario.

My apologies if it seemed that way.

But since I've been asked....

*evil grin*

...no, I just can't. Besides, I don't even have a sister. And if I did, their respective ages would lead me to say no, regardless of any gender confusions.

Rule #...: The only literature you can discuss must have the phrase "Sports Illustrated" somewhere in the title.

[EDIT: Also, you can't use the word "Literature". Woops, guess I'm not a guy anymore ]

I think that it is quite a strech to call sports illustrated literature. It is like saying Sports Center is A classic.

But this is (and I quote) "The Man Code". So I will now define literature within the bounds of the man code: anything that involves words in any way, example: "The TV guide is a great piece of literature."

Rule #..... Wearing Speedos is ok if you are a swimmer or a water polo player but NOT a diver.

(Some of the biggest ugliest brutes that ever tried to tear my swimsuit off were water polo players)

Rule #.... It is ok to kick a guy in the balls if you are female and playing water polo and being held by the X in the back of your swimsuit suit by one of the aforementioned ugly brutes to keep you from scoring because otherwise you would be better than they were and that was threatening to their masculinity.

I guess everyone's done with the old argument, but I just came upon this thread now...

JK, since this list is meant as a parody, I would interpret that as an implication that the behaviors described there are largely not ok. That we make fun of stereotypical caveman behavior means that we're not locked into that definition of masculinity.

I thought this thread seemed promising, and I just have to take the opportunity to annoy all the people who passed on this years ago. [Big Grin]

This makes me think of those "Man Law" commercials that Miller Lite has been doing lately with Burt Reynolds and Jerome Bettis.

"I propose a 'you poke it you own it' man law."

Burt Reynolds cracks me up.

When this thread was started I had just moved to Melbourne from Sydney to take on the job that I'm finally leaving this week.

Wow.

When this thread started I was not here.

I was instead in highschool wasting my life as a depressed teenager. I think I would have appreciated it just as much at the time as now though, maybe more.

Good ol' Baldar. Hatrack and especially Ornery just aren't the same without him. [Wink]
