Title: Is this the manliest thing ever?

Anvil shooting. Get two anvils, put some explosives between them, launch one of them 200 feet in the air. There is in fact a current world champion at this.

It's one of those completely pointless things that blokes can't help but be impressed by.

Oh alright, yes, you caught me. That's what I get for posting as opposed to lurking.

When you're in college, it's stupid.
Once you've graduated, it's manly.

It's manly with a beard. Like all things.

It is not. (Wait for it)

The manliest thing ever was declared ages ago. (Here it comes)

The manliest thing ever is: (It had to happen)

Sam. (Obligatory Sam is manly remark)

I don't understand a single word Sam ever says, though.

One would think a manly man would also be fairly wordy. Think James Bond.

If the manliest man were on these forums, under that guideline..it'd be Harry.

fought bears

Flattering, but a misconception. I actually mediated in a dispute between two warring bear clans.

Then we all shared a bottle of single malt. We did not get drunk, for real men (and bears) do not get drunk: real men (and bears) drink until they become wistful and bittersweet, remembering lost loves and loves that never were. At four in the morning real men (and bears) stop drinking, and become solemn, and wait for the sun to rise on a new day.

Ah, man. I was expecting him to use tannerite, and shoot it to set it off. That would be even manlier.

Jeez Harry no need to flaunt your manliness. We already knew.

You're like Hemingway, except without all of the misogyny and moodswings. Respectfulness and dependability being core manly attributes, this makes you a more manly version of Hemingway.

Jeeeez.

yeah harry wins

By this modest concession though, perhaps Sam has proven himself even manlier. For is it not the great man who in addition to knowing when he is the victor, knows when he is defeated? Through this modesty, there is good chance that Sam has laid himself out forth at the manliest man, as modest in defeat as victory.

Though we cannot ignore the chance that this is a feint in which to sway our voting, casting himself in a light that will highlight modesty, in order to elevate his manly standing? We cannot ignore this possibility, for the true manly man is not only modest, but he is cunning. Through these recent developments, I say that we cannot write off our dear friend Sam as of just yet.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Wait. So are we saying that Sam is manly because he can super grow a beard? Because that is a shit ass reason to claim manliness. I once knew a kid who was growing good manly beard since middle school, but he also liked dressing in woman's clothes. Beardliness =/= manliness, but it can help.

Harry is easily more manly.

Considering that (a) beards require significant quantities of testosterone to exist at all and (b) apparently you don't know Sam, I'm going to say the competition is still on.

Because it's womanly, since they're women's clothes.  Womanly things are, rather by definition, not manly things.

Dude that was like, overdose levels of nicotine.

I really want to get some snuff, so I can realllllly go for it though. I think that could knock me out.

Or maybe make nicotine edibles....
