itt blogs instruct you how to be a man

this sounds like a sex thing

in all srsness the "adequate man" series on deadspin is really great

esp. the ones by lily benson

very swiftly

I concur, adequate man is good

-exhibit a deep passion for cleaning and organizing camping gear

wtf so in order to be a man I have to have OCD?

that sounds like one of the least mannish man traits of the v mannish men I know their tents smell like feet that have had bad thought for decades

something something man and his tools

if judgment day comes tomorrow and we all burn forever, i'll sort of understand

I guess we can't all sit around and mock it on DJP's fb page

The greatest risk to this project is whether or not the Sun will explode before I am able to ship. I am definitely not prepared for this risk.

can't believe he doesn't have something for this eventuality in his EDC bag

if this doesn't have bull semen as an active ingredient, not dudestick enough

Lol "detailing."

From 2006 to 2012, PyroManiacs turned out almost-daily updates from the Post-Evangelical wasteland -- usually to the fear and loathing of more-polite and more-irenic bloggers and readers.

oh, the ireny!

i·ren·ic
/īˈrenik,īˈrē-/
adjective: irenic; adjective: eirenic

1. aiming or aimed at peace.

noun
noun: irenics; noun: eirenics; noun: irenic; noun: eirenic

1. a part of Christian theology concerned with reconciling different denominations and sects.

So did they typo or just use an obcure word?

ppl seem to be taking the dudestick thing at face value but the pledges bit of its kickstarter give the impression it's a windup?

Is it intended humor, or is it intended "humor?" Difficult to say.

A play on 'chapstick' surely?

Observant

Idk if you ppl have the word 'chap' so excuse me

"manly preachers" totally reminded of the POWER TEAM who I would see on late night tv all the time when I was a kid.

They'd break baseball bats over their thighs and tear phone books in half then get serious and talk about jesus for a bit before blowing up a bunch of hot water balloons until they exploded

thank you for bringing this to my attention

power team is the kind of thing you learn about and immediately say wow there must be an everything is terrible video of this, and you'd be right:

oh lord

I'm not sure if it was a knockoff or minor league Power Team but they came to my (public) junior high when they were touring churches in the area. Since they couldn't mention Jesus it was five minutes of "don't do drugs" and then smashing concrete blocks with their foreheads.

All of that stuff is pretty easy to fake if the props have been doctored ahead of time.

I prefer to think God is real and chose to show his majesty through swole dudes breaking objects

yep

wow

“My wife read Book 1 and 2 of ‘I Steal Wives’ and said I needed to read this book, because it’s the one book about us that I would actually like. She was right. She wanted us to counsel with Sven immediately. But I was still skeptical. She talked me into it.

I had a 3-hour phone session with Sven; her first session was a 2.5 -hour one. That weekend Carey and I talked more than we have talked in the last five years. Everything changed. I got my wife back. And all of a sudden we were communicating again and really diving into the deep end of the pool.

The next week, we both had a conference call with Sven. He challenged us more, called us both on our shit, and...I don’t even know what to call it. You just immediately trust him. You know he knows he shit. He’s a good guy, but he is tough, and that’s why he’s so good. He just looks inside of you.

We’re talking again. There’s not just hope for our marriage, but for a far better marriage than we’ve had in any of our 12 years of marriage. This went way beyond anything we could have imagined.”

is this a clickhole offshoot??

a quick turn there from #10 to #11

"men" are trash

Pretty much all of these things have in common the theme of clinging more tightly to what's left of the domain of *manhood* as it shrinks.

What the fuck is nodding up, are bros seriously going around showing the underside of their chin to dudes they know

"these things" meaning guy code type memes in general.

Just three straight guys watching porn together, jerkin' it. Straight as hell.

NOW TELL ME ABOUT THE URINAL RULES, GRANDPA!

#10 covers the urinal rules

Oh #9 actually, missed that.

The college weekly I wrote/edited for once got a *humor* submission that was basically a long riff on #9, with diagrams. We decided to publish it, but with an editorial addendum about how the staff was so excited by the article that we all immediately rushed into the mens room to try it out and see if it was true.

i remember a game circulating on graphics calculators around my high school that was basically a logic puzzle based on urinal rules
