At least they didn’t list “a comic book collection.”

10 things a grown man should have:

1. A real car - A full-sized sedan, SUV, or Truck. Never a hybrid or a subcompact.

2. The collected written works of at least one of the following: Robert Service, Winston Churchill, Tom Clancy, or P.J. O'Rourke.

3. The following DVD/Videos: The Deer Hunter, The Godfather 1 & 2 (#3 does not count), High Plains Drifter, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Animal House, Young Frankenstein.

4. A well-stocked bar and the knowledge of how to make a decent martini.

5. A 1911 .45ACP pistol. He should know how to take it down, clean it, keep it properly lubricated and practice shooting at least once a month.

6. At least one 12-gauge shotgun and one rifle of any of the following cals.: .30-06, .30-30, .308, 7.62mm, 5.56mm.

7. A full-sized gas barbeque grill and the understanding of how to properly prepare and cook raw meat of every variety.

8. At least one real baseball cap - not the cheap adjustable variety, but an official hat of correct size.

9. A black (not brown) leather jacket - not of the overpriced gay desginer variety, but simple, functional, well-made, and dependable.

10. A well-stocked workshop with both metal and woodworking tools, full screwdriver and wrench sets of all commons types, a variety of knives and hardware, including screws, bolts, nuts, grommets, anchors, and pins. Also: at least 1 can of WD-40 is mandatory.

3. An empty refrigerator. Your larder should be amply stocked, your pantry provisioned. Always aim to be ready to create an on-the-fly, three-course dinner for her...along with breakfast in bed.

Because a real man is a gourmet chef and uses that to woo women? I think not. My frig is stocked because I married a woman that can cook.

No thanks on #4. Anyone that is shunning anything as ‘too childish’ is missing out on life.

#5. There is nothing at all wrong with having the right tool around for the job. That said, I find the feed lips of an AK47 magazine work really well for opening beers

"5. A key chain with a bottle opener. This bauble is both a gauche reminder of your college days and proof that you don't know how to apply leverage using available, impromptu bottle openers: a lighter, the back end of a fork."

...or the door of a '69 Goat

This guy was on the right track until...

11. Any beer that costs less than $20 a case. And no exception for the grand-slam 30-pack that crosses that price threshold.

Sorry, real men don't care what the beer costs. The price of beer is only a concern for insecure girly-men with small dinkies. "

If any woman judged me based upon this list, she isn’t the kind of woman I need. This list is ridiculous.

I have a can opener key ring, but since it’s a “lakeshark” that a dive buddy gave me as a gift, I’m keeping it until I’m dead.

12. The need to quote The Big Lebowski/ Caddyshack/Superbad. Reciting someone else's lines reminds people that you haven't the wit to write your own.

I prefer to quote 'Yellowbeard'! I really have to be careful when and where I do, though!

A sign of being a grown-up is a car that starts every time.

“What other things should grown men be avoiding?”

1) Subscription to a newspaper.

2) Not wearing a tie at least once a week.

3) Not having a decent sound system.

4) Buying GQ, Details, Esquire or any male equivalent to women’s fashion magazines.

5) Bumper stickers for a presidential candidate on a car that you plan on having in 4 years.

6) Women under 26, unless you are under 26.

7) The voices in your head that tell you not to try a new sport because it ain’t Football or Baseball.

8) Debt of any sort.

9) Any flirtation with socialism.

10) Obama.
