I celebrate Mantember already. I considered Manmember but wisely decided against it.
I liked this, laughed aloud (as my husband HAS dressed up and been so civilized + this month) and was going to send it to my husband at work, etc. But then I read — ‘it is homoerotic’ -— in the last sentence? Now I just think it is disgusting.
For me, it’s “Rocktober.”
NASCAR Chase, Pro & College Football in full swing, Baseball playoffs, warm days & cool nights to work outside, cook brats on the grill and grab a beer from the ‘fridge in the garage, while watching sports on the cable TV in same garage...
That’s my Man Month.
This is the month I celebrate the endless contributions of Eve Plumb to civilization and the betterment of mankind.
...and stay away from that “Tool Academy” show on TNT. The previews look pretty bad.
Somebody put in in a marquee.
It's official.
"And now they are rebelling: It's Manuary"
For a brief moment there I thought this was by Maureen Dowd.
I’m Glad I’m a Man
I’m glad I’m a man, you better believe.
I don’t live off of yogurt, diet coke, or cottage cheese
I don’t bitch to my girlfriends about the size of my breasts
I can get where I want to - north, south, east or west
I don’t get wasted after only 2 beers
And when I do drink I don’t end up in tears.
I won’t spend hours deciding what to wear,
I spend 5 minutes max fixing my hair
And I don’t go around checking my reflection
in everything shiny from every direction.
I don’t whine in public and make us leave early
And when you ask why get all bitter and surly.
I’m glad I’m a man, I’m so glad I could sing
I don’t have to sit around waiting for that ring.
I don’t gossip about friends or stab them in the back
I don’t carry our differences into the sack.
I’ll never go psycho and threaten to kill you
Or think every guy out there’s trying to steal you.
I’m rational, reasonable, and logical too
I know what the time is and I know what to do.
And I honestly think it’s a privilege for me
To have these two balls and stand when I pee
I live to watch sports and play all sorts of ball
It’s more fun than dealing with women after all
I won’t cry if you figure out it’s not going to work
I won’t remain bitter and call you a jerk.
Feel free to use me for immediate pleasure
I won’t assume it’s permanent by any measure.
Yes, I’m glad I’m a man, a man you see
I’m glad I’m not capable of child delivery
I don’t get all bitchy every 28 days
I’m glad that my gender gets me a much bigger raise
I’m a man by chance and I’m thankful it’s true
I’m so glad I’m a man and not a woman like you!
Much as I like men, this Manuary thing seems like a “save the males” travesty that might make them more of an object of ridicule than they already are (and have been in pop culture for decades).
The popular caricature of the American male stopped being funny in the days of My Little Margie and Life of Riley.
What happened to heroes?
Mega Vomit Carnage Alert. Even "Manuary" is going gay.
I’m a man...
But I can change...
If I have to...
I guess.
Very funny, thanks for the laugh!
"We kind of make fun of what is supposed to be manly," he said. "It's kind of manly, somewhat homoerotic, somewhere in between."
Then they'll be heading to San Francisco to celebrate "Gapril" and "Gay".
Silly. I hate having to be nice to my in-laws, and I don’t even carry a purse. Everything I need to carry fits in my pockets. Oh, and I don’t need to keep trying on different clothes. That’s one of the benefits of having a nice body - you look good in anything. :-)
It’s not that I don’t have a sense of humor, it’s that some of the less enlightened don’t have a sense of humor and confuse jokes and stereotypes about women with facts, and end up taking jokes seriously.
