If you want to be a hero to your woman, keep a small shop vac handy for indoor bugs, and suck them right up. Quick and clean, and the ladies are so impressed.
Re: #47.
The proper way to keep an excessive head from forming is to ensure that the beer and the glass are properly chilled. When combined by a proper pour, the beer needs to stay mostly below 39 degrees. Over that temperature is when beer starts to foam. A slow pour will allow a beer that gets to 40, 41 or 42 degrees to be poured with just the right amount of head on it.
So, keep the pint glass in the freezer and the beer in the fridge. Pour slowly down the inside of a tilted glass and then speed up as it fills to get the head to the right level. Years of practice has taught me this.
I assumed you could still concentrate light by turning the lens backward. Not true?

I love these lists because they’re so stupid. They’re a festival of self congratulation by people who wish the world worked differently. Treat frostbite?! I live in freaking Tucson, you know when the last time was somebody got frostbite in Tucson?! Neither do I. As for #1, I’ve learned to tie a tie multiple times in my life, but since I never wear them (except for the 3 or 4 occasions I learned to tie one for, and one of those was a Halloween costume) I always forget. Ties are the old bad world, it’s a much better place where men aren’t expected to put a noose around their neck.
Don’t camp, don’t need camp fires. Best way to shine shoes is to pay somebody to do it. I don’t know anyone that’s ever been bitten by a snake, they aren’t that dumb. Bear attack?! Yeah right. Best way to parallel park is to not, I can do it but it’s faster to turn a corner and park someplace normal. Predict the weather? Not a problem, I live in Tucson, warm and sunny covers 340 days of the year. Deadlifts are dead, nobody does them anymore, they’re actually not a good exercise and don’t actually help you lift stuff off the ground because most stuff isn’t shaped like barbells. I know how to grill with charcoal, I also never do it because it’s too much work.
Even changing a flat is becoming post dated. My current car doesn’t even have a spare, it’s got an electric pump with goo. With run flats, pressure warning, and fix a flat the age of changing tires is fading. Fiddling with a lock is a way better way out of a burning building that breaking it down, faster, less damage to yourself, less spewing burning junk all over. I used to be able to take a perfect photo, now my eyes suck I can’t see well enough.
I grew my own food once. Not as fun as people say. Lot of survival junk, better skill than all those: don’t get in a survival situation. While I’ve certainly see some fun trick ways of opening a bottle I’ve got an opener on my key chain, not as entertaining but gets the job done. They’re really hooked on logging. Not my hobby. I’ve got a much better quick fight ender than a mythical you probably won’t get the angle right knockout punch that really only exists in movies, break their arm, much more effective, not so mythical either. Boating, no. I do drive a stick. I fell out of practice on lockpicking. Guitars get passed around parties?! Dude.
I can change oil, it sucks, it’s dirty, and now my car has free maintenance for life. My favorite toast is “too alcoholism”, the kind of people I hang out with enjoy it. Are you really more likely to have a battery or magnifying lens than a lighter? Really.
Yup, million laughs. These lists are great.
Well played, sir.
Maybe, “how not to turn every thread into a religion thread” should be on some list somewhere.
My next door neighbor is a single mom who’s son in about 20. He looks like a thug and smokes dope but always has a smile and a good word. It’s kind of weird.
He said he’s planning to buy his own house in a few months and needs to learn stuff.
I gave him some advice on lighting a charcoal grill yesterday. Later, he was out trying to change a car battery with improper tools. In the rain of course.
I went out and brought the right tools and we got it done forthrightly. He was grateful and I think learned a good manliness lesson
I can do all but 2 of them. I can’t sew a button on a shirt and I can’t play a song on the guitar. The rest are relatively easy to me. Heck you own a home and a car and you’ve done half easily.
A sandwich and water. I’ve seen it done but haven’t tried it myself. It’s usually when the sun is not out when you need a fire the most, however.
I’d love to see the list for metrosexual pajama boy types
Regrettably, none of those 100 items will get you paid one dime by a Fortune 500 company. Not surprising that younger men spend so little time mastering any of them.
Sorry; it doesn’t work that way.
I’m a life member of Alcoholics Unanimous!
Not amused how he attempts to downplay and trivialize learning how to shoot. Not wanting to be a “gun guy”, indeed.
*A “critic” is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased—he hates all creative, people equally.*
I think I know a PRIME example of someone who is the epitome of that!
Probably 99% of Freepers would concur!
I am not a member of AA, AU or any other of that type organizations.
“Real Drunks don’t have to go to meetings!” per Ralph D., 1975.
“Maybe, “how not to turn every thread into a religion thread” should be on some list somewhere.”
It probably is, but it wouldn’t change the truth of what I said in any case.
They threw in just enough traditionally feminine tasks that I was expecting to see “Make a sandwich.”
