The Democrat prosecutor who went after Tom Delay got caught up in one of these goofy rings... he was one of bunch of local notables paying to hang out in the woods drumming and playing with raw chickens.
No unheard of, but usually it involves a chick dressed in black leather and wielding a riding crop.
Well, for many of us it used to be called boot camp and if you were lucky, Chief’s Initiation, but I digress...
“Rusty Rahm was perched on a stool, his legs tethered to the piece of furniture and his arms bound behind him. A man stuffed a wad of gauze into Rahm’s mouth and taped it shut, then shoved Vaseline up his nostrils.”
Sounds pretty damned submissive to me. Nothing manly about this. And 10 to 1, the proprietor has gotta be a homo.
If one is a pussy, one must take extreme measures to TRY to become a man.
Do they still do the sweat baths after the debacle at Sedona?
A man would really have to be whipped down to go to one of these “retreats”.
28 years ago, I went to a boot camp for men. It was called Parris Island.
Store-bought virtue.
They are looking for the rites of passage that prove the are men.
I went through some of this in the military but they were paying me.
I don’t think suffocation builds character.
I’ll take a pass.
I don’t believe you can pay someone to make you comfortable with yourself and the decisions you’ve made in life. Or in the case of this silliness, to punish you for the mistakes you’ve made in some glamorized ritual.
I skimmed the article. I didn’t see a mention of God in it.
I already went through Marine Corps boot camp once. Back in the day when they still beat the crap out of you.
Pfft. Two words: Airborne School.
After serving in uniform (US Navy), marrying the love of my life, and raising quite a few kids, I cannot imagine having lived a life in which I would need or even want to fake any of those experiences to feel like a real man. Fake boot camp, fake marriage, and fake whatever else liberals decide to parody next will never replace real holes in a shallow person’s life.
Time to get back to planning my next trip to the range, my next fishing outing, and my next visit with my kids. I don’t need to “revive” my real nature - it never sleeps.
Young men, grow a pair, sign on the dotted line and get PAID to go to boot camp and get in the best shape of your life.
I was in the military—loved boot camp—liked the Army for that matter. I also went through 14 years of college, which was life changing. I’ve also done Outward Bound and many other self-discovery/self-improvement programs. Also men’s retreats, solo camping, and hard work! For the most part they were good and useful. Outward Bound was one of the best; it was tough.
Sorry, folks, but inhaling vaseline can seriously injure the lungs and lead to premature death. Not cool.
