Here ya go. No BYJ pics will show up here!
Real men don’t need a magazine about how to be real men.
Dressing in a masculine manner is important.
Even real men experience the heartbreak of enlarged pores!
Second rule of Man Club. No Man purses.
Like I said in my Freep profile:
I have two weaknesses
Good scotch whiskey and
Bad Irish women!
Excellent advice in this article. I highly recommend as well, ‘How to Raise a Modern Day Knight’ by Robert Lewis, published, I think, by Focus on the Family.
Hubby read that, got our boys into Scouting, and became the Scout Master, starting a new troop in our church. I cannot say enough about a good man raising boys to be good men.
If you are not aware of it, I recommend “the Dangerous Book for Boys”
“Equal parts droll and gorgeous nostalgia book and heartfelt plea for a renewed sense of adventure in the lives of boys and men, Conn and Hal Iggulden’s The Dangerous Book for Boys became a mammoth bestseller in the United Kingdom in 2006. Adapted, in moderation, for American customs in this edition (cricket is gone, rugby remains; conkers are out, Navajo Code Talkers in), The Dangerous Book is a guide book for dads as well as their sons, as a reminder of lore and technique that have not yet been completely lost to the digital age. Recall the adventures of Scott of the Antarctic and the Battle of the Somme, relearn how to palm a coin, tan a skin, and, most charmingly, wrap a package in brown paper and string. The book’s ambitions are both modest and winningly optimistic: you get the sense that by learning how to place a splint or write in invisible ink, a boy might be prepared for anything, even girls (which warrant a small but wise chapter of their own). “

In the egalitarian spirit of the age, a version for girls has now been published.
Personally, I always liked the dangerous boys. Still married to one. . . . .
Pretty funny parody “Dangerous Book for Dogs”, also!
I respectfully disagree.
That is not a man-purse. It is a tactical ammo/weapons carrier. That is allowed.
This is especially true of twenty-something men.
I recently read a great book by Jack Cashill, “What is wrong with California”. Ultimately he felt that most of the state's issues (crime, urban sprawl, traffic, high cost of housing, pollution, etc) came down to disintegration of the family (fatherlessness) and lack of Christian moral values.
This issue with men and fatherlessness HAS to be fixed. Whatever politician latches on to it in a meaningful way will lockup the middle class for a long time.
schu
Aint that the truth.
good one!!!!
I read that book recently, too. (All night, during a massive allergy attack.) Lots of insightful and important observations.
OooRaah! I liked that line! I have three sons - none of whom could even be considered a touch effeminate. Lacrosse, Ice Hockey, Basketball, pounding on each other - and a very firm hand have produced three gentlemen that the girls love to be around, the mothers adore, and the fathers ask me "how did you do that?". My eldest son wants to be a Doctor, my middle son wants to attend VMI and become a Marine Officer. The youngest has Downs, but is equally "All Boy".
Spare the rod, Spoil the child...
no kidding....in Bogota a bag like that means “eff with me and I shoot yer dumbass”
or at least it did back in my day.
Sad.
Where have all the cowboys gone was more appropriate than I reckoned when that chick sang it 12 years ago...paula something.
I would've never guessed my 60s/70s upbringing would be the last of the stand up white boys.....dope smoking long hairs...hell, we seem like Spartans now compared to the metero puff I see here around Vandy or our pool club.
no guns, no hunting, no serious skirt chasing, they follow their wives around like pups carrying baby papoose, sit in the back feeding the baby, shut up when mommy says so.
go into a car lot or home depot in a genx or geny upwardly mobile area...look who's talking and who's just standing there wearing girl jeans with a martin short haircut
never busted a grape either.
and then the rest of the males in our culture are serial fatherless child producing thugs who are admired by our media and maxim magazine writer types....
When my wife and I meet a good real man kid we go ape and congratulate him.
My oldest daughter's boyfriend is very polite and works very hard and has impeccable manners, they came out a bar in Knoxville near UT and some ruffians said something unbecoming about her loudly and he kicked their butts....cops let him go and gave him an attaboy.
God, I hope she marries him....not many John Waynes left except in Iraq and Stan.
Keep mommy out of the dugout.
Enjoy that image. Remember it. Cherish it.
This coming season on 24, Jack Bauer goes liberal.
1) President is a woman that looks like Hillary Clinton
2) Jeanne Garafalo joins the cast
3) Most of the season revolves around Jack going to Africa because he’s experiencing a “crisis of conscious” over his privous tactics of condoning torture and executing terrorists without a trial.
Third rule - no poofters!
I sent my 11yr. old to Wildlife Camp on Sunday. The whole week revolves around hunting and fishing. When signing in he was so excited he was shaking. They let the kids call and check in but I haven’t heard from him, he’s in he-man Heaven.
boy that sounds great PM.
we tried to get our 8 year old into the 10 day at Alpine in Mentone Alabama on Lookout Mountain but it was booked.
the 4 week session was open but that is too much, summer is only around 75 days now not 90 plus like in my day since school lasts longer with snow days etc
i tried all my strings including my contacts at the girl’s camp that is a sister camp...could not breach the Camp Alpine wall...lol...but he will be in next year
so many summer camps now are so PC....Godawful....like sending your kid to Smith College
I went to Mondamin a YMCA camp in Miss as aboy in the 60s, alas it’s now a touchy feely kumbaya religious co-ed camp
Southern culture on the skids is sad to watch
All they do is lecture the viewer - Christians are bad, corporate men are greedy and crooked, corporate women are to be admired, gays are always victims of some conservative, Christian act of violence, and so on.
That's how the Law & Order shows are getting. ER got that way 8 years ago and hasn't let up.
Then you have the commercials spouting "green" this and "green" that.
This stuff is hitting us from all directions.
Mother, please, make it stop, make it stop!!!!
There are some things a man should know, like guns, cars and stuff about war.
Whenever a guy tells me they never fired a shotgun or dont know what a Tiger tank is, I give him the old”RCA Dog” look.
Like the song sez, “There a gun in my Truck, Honey I,m stil a guy”
yep sung by Brad to his pretty but hopeless lefty Obama wifey
The same thing here in New Jersey. You have the spoiled rotten sons (and grandsons) of folks in the “cartage business” who talk tough, but are ultimately selling wolf tickets. What we mostly have are metros, hood rats, and wig-gahs, the latter of which are truly laughable.
that last pic is christian ronaldo. one of the greatest soccer players in the world. he’s from portugal and plays for manchester united. has probably forgotten about more women than most men will ever have. he can carry whatever he wants, imho.
wig-gah....lol
finally an acceptable way to express it
thank you!
