Did some burpees this morning. Sorta manly except for me writhing around in pain on the floor and gasping for air after I was done.

If we go back to the weekend, then I planted a 25-gallon lychee tree by myself, which was no small feat. The hole necessary to plant that thing was big enough to fit a couple bodies, and getting a 150lb+ tree into the hole was not a lot of fun either.

Unless....and be honest: Who is better at Lego assembly

I'm the better framer. She excels at being womanly by accessorizing with flowers, trees and dashes of color.

I poured some concrete to make a foundation for a new tower I am putting up at work.

On my lunch break I installed some new Trijicon night sights on my new Glock 19.

Also, you used the English system and measured a tree in gallons.

+2 right there.

I jumped started the van after leaving the lights on, added air to the tire with a hand pump, cut brush with a machete, and carried 50# of equipment from setup to setup. I was outside all day, and didn't complain about the weather, and I spent most of the day with tobacco in my mouth. Got back to the office, called the boss an asshole, went over what I did at work, and went home.

You win the thread.

I installed a new brushed chrome American Standard retractable faucet, and yesterday I came home from work, ate steak, and installed oxygen sensors in my car.

The damn hair from all this testosterone keeps getting in my eyes.

Almost:



That negates the rest of it. :colbert:

Yea, that was kinda weak. I need to get a new battery, cause it doesn't take much to kill the one in it. I don't think the lights were on for 15 minutes before I noticed it.

I dunno I may have my linux using brother beat. I put a furnace in a house in 6 hours with my bare hands, my tools, my truck. I'm the boss so after we were done in good time me and the helper walked across the street to the bar and had some beers. I had a dip in most the day too...

In order to prove to my doctor that I wasn't afraid of his silly little girly hands, I told him to use two fingers during my prostate exam.

You should have seen the look in his face. I could only come to the conclusion that he was in pure awe of just how much testosterone one body could produce and circulate.

I drove my Toyota Camry Hybrid to work and I had a veggie burger for lunch.

What do I win?

:hmm: Not sure if this is the opposite of manly...

I'll concede. That's pretty manly, and if nothing else, you finished the day off with beer, so you completed the project with style.

Three cowboys — from Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas—are sitting around a fire. The Oklahoma cowboy gloats, “Just the other day, a bull gored six men in the corral, but I wrestled it to the ground with my hands.”

The Arkansan replies, “Oh, yeah? Yesterday a 15-foot rattler came at me, so I grabbed it, bit its head off, and spit the poison into a spittoon 15 yards away.”

The Texan stays quiet, slowly stirring the coals with his penis.

This morning I was sitting down on the toilet to pee in the traditional red-blooded American male fashion when something brushed across my hand and caused me to loudly and masculinely shriek in a piercing soprano, followed by a very rapid and very brave exit from the bathroom, pausing only momentarily to trip over my pants in a very manly way as I had forgotten to pull them back up in my haste. Could a woman have screamed so loudly or run so quickly in such a situation? Why, her feminine sensitivities are so delicate she probably wouldn't have even noticed the hair brushing her hand in the first place. Such is the plight of the fairer sex.
