Many years ago I swam into the North Saskatchewan river to save a drowning man. He hung onto me like crazy as I paddled us back to shore.

Swapped the engine transmission and drive train out of a car in my garage with nothing but hand tools, floor jacks and an engine hoist. I am all that is man.

We've been pointing it out (and reporting it) but nothing has been done.

I mean, in THIS thread. I quickly skimmed through to the second page and it looked like everyone was treating it like a normal thread by a normal AT member (if there is such a thing).

well i guess by most is during a wrestling match in high school i broke 2 toes in my foot. i couldn't forfeit and i really needed the win so i continued.

but i would say the manliest thing i have done is be a good father to my 2 children.

Dislocated my left knee when I was skiing. I put it back into the socket by whacking my knee against a tree so I could walk back to my car. Then drove myself to the hospital in my manual transmission car. That was not a good day.

i always put rubbing alcohol on any wound and don't wince.

Can drink warm moonshine straight from the bottle.

Hobbled on a broken ankle without crutches or a cast once.

I once told a guy who weighed almost 400lb's and couldnt lift a compactor onto the truck bed by himself that he needed to take the purse off his arm and i grabbed it and showed him how its done.

Took some chick home and told her to GTFO after i finished with her...no wait, thats not manly, thats just me being an ass. *sniff..ah the memories.

Worked about 12 hours on a black shingled roof during 104 F degree day. Had blisters on my feet that day from the heat of the roof. But i kept walk'n.
Also carried not 1 but 2 bundles of shingles up a 2 story ladder

When a truck ran off the road heading towards me uncontrollably, everyone else ran...i just stepped to one side like in the Matrix and watched it pass by within inches of me. That could fall in the stupid category as well...under the "manly" section of course.

i think thats it.

*oh wait...i also reformatted Windows.....without backing up a damn thing on purpose!
