10 things a grown man should have:

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.

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.

If I want to cook with gas I will cook inside. Outside is for mesquite charcoal, that is REAL BBQ. Propane is for sissies. “Now thats a FIRE!”

Gas grill?! You can't be serious. You just blew your cover.

Two things: 1, no real man would ever own a gas grill. It defeats the purpose of grilling.

2, Plenty of real men out there who aren't redneck enough to wear a ball cap. I personally wear leather do-rags when it's cold, and cotton when it's not. But I realize that it's as much a biker thing as ball caps are a redneck thing.
