I love being a guy

I got a Circular Saw and a Dremel for Christmas 🙂. For my Birthday last year, I got a Drill and a 0 degree sleeping bag. (Both instances I received other items as well)

A couple things I learned too:
-Ladies, men generally think during 2 times only (Toilet and Shower)
-As a guy, I grill, I don't generally cook
-On that note, Steak = Every man's favorite entree!
-Every Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday during the latter half of the year, its Football time at some point during the day 🙂
-On that note, "It's only a game" is quite possible the worst phrase in the English language!!
-Firing a gun for the first time is pretty much a rite of passage
-War movies never EVER get old
-Not sure if women have figure this out (If they have - not sure why they persist in doing it), but we don't catch on to hints or signals (most of the time).
-In bathrooms, I am pretty sure there is an unwritten rule that you generally don't talk much. I don't think I ever do more than a head nod and a "Hey hows it going".
-Yes, we can, in fact, fix everything. No, instructions are not necessary. Yes, the extra parts mean we did it right 😉
-Shopping is not in our vocabulary
(I learned other stuff too, but that was all that was on my mind at the time 🙂)
-Sometimes just nodding your head and saying "Yes[, dear (If applicable)]" is the way to go!


Just got to thinking about all of this after watching most of Band of Brothers on BluRay for the 2 time in 3 days 🙂 and decided to post about it

Jeez - I forgot a huge one:

NO, we never ever ever ever get lost! 🙂 (Though I over the summer I was forced to use a GPS and it was pretty cool!)

-Kevin
 
lol at the list being so true!


oh and we never ask for help finding something in a store. kinda like what gaming said and what you said we never need instructions
 
I would love to see Band of Brothers....just have yet to get around to it.
 
Not sure if this applies everywhere:

Electrical/Duct tape is a viable band-aid.
We can pee anywhere we wish, and don't think we won't. Most guys won't hold it in to find a bathroom, but instead, just open the car door and turn the other way.

My personal favorite - Yes, we can get into severe fights with another man and then go drinking together an hour later (why can't women do this?)

What brand/model circular saw?

Ryobi Circular Saw (Nothing fancy), and a Dremel brand Dremel.

I think I might ask for a reciprocating saw next :-D.

My friends and I already decided that when each of us gets married - Tool Party no bachelor party (devout Christians, none of us drink too much so we just get to be guys).

i thought i'd post in this thread, im proud of my new 20gal 6.75hp shopvac. BIG FUCKIN SHOP VAC. YEAH. TOUGH.

Lol jeez that is approaching/exceeding the power of most lawn mowers!!!

Duct tape is the universal fix it (Thanks Chaotic). I chaperone Youth Trips for my church and I always make sure to come with a roll of that - if nothing else its always a good laugh 🙂

I would love to see Band of Brothers....just have yet to get around to it.

You will love it - The BluRay version, in my opinion, has better sound than anything else I have heard (That is without DTS-HD Master too).

Nik reminded me (and I may be one of the very few), but I wrestled in MS and HS and those pads were widely used to stop nosebleeds and other injuries on the wrestling mat. Anyone else have that wonderful experience?

Army first aid we were told that "sanitary napkins" (1970s) could be used as field dressings in an emergency. They never did explain where we would be fighting that those would be the most easily available substitute.

You forgot:

Yes I think about sex all the time. No I will never admit it to you.

Haha well given that this is ATOT that is probably true; however, I don't and most of my buddies and I try not to be tempted to that method of thought 😉
