O...Ah, yes, from the Vanilla Ice School of Rhyme...<br />One other quibble: in the old school folk version of Whiskey in the Jar, it didn't end with the dude dying in prison, it ended with the dude's brother busting him out and both of them heading off to get revenge. Thin Lizzy and Metallica pretty much popularized that gamma version for some reason.Huckleberryhttp://bbq22.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-2608732005365182032013-06-05T14:44:07.218-07:002013-06-05T14:44:07.218-07:00@Outlaw X

When I'm scared of something, I stifle the fear and press through. It's not that I'm fearless, and there are times it beats me, but it doesn't define who I am. Dad always told me "walk like you own the place, and people will assume you do and let you right through" and it's true. How many times have I kissed your wife, rycamor, and no one has lodged a complaint?

But one who is a man tends to match up with that checklist, as a product of his quest for competence and ability to mold his environment.<br /><br />BTW, it bears note: for about 90% of the things on this list I am eternally indebted to my father. Yes, even welding. Some men coming of age will reach out and take what is theirs no matter what, but most need some direction and opportunity presented to them. If you are raising boys, THINK about that. Step outside your comfort zone as a father, and do both yourself and your son a favor.rycamornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-33086441334828102182013-06-02T15:08:43.778-07:002013-06-02T15:08:43.778-07:00I'm surprised welding isn't on the lists
...<i>I'm surprised welding isn't on the lists</i><br /><br />That's 'cause none of us can weld. Both my Dad and Grandpa were welders, but I couldn't lay a bead to save my life.<br /><br />Nate mentioned a couple of weeks ago he also needs to work on his welding.<br /><br />But you're right, it should be there. Along with:<br /><br />- Hitch and tow a trailer.<br /><br />- Throw and catch a football/baseball.<br /><br />- splice a rope/type proper knots.<br /><br />- cast a fly rod/set a snare.<br /><br />among many other things.

Flying aircraft is something I always wanted to do but it is cost/time prohibitive for most.<br /><br /><i> Vidad said...<br />I've never ridden a motorcycle and I can't drive a stick.

I know that any chance I get to fly, I'm taking it. In fact, as a kid I had the Piper Cub flight manual practically memorized.<br /><br />The whole point is in being one who seizes opportunity for acquiring skills and experiences, rather than hanging back for love of comfort and fear of failure or ridicule. The corollary to that being the strategic planning of one's life to at least have some of these opportunities.rycamornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-74711111626548168502013-06-02T13:49:12.123-07:002013-06-02T13:49:12.123-07:00Nate asked the question bor proposed the answer to...Nate asked the question bor proposed the answer to the question however you want to look at it. I had never thought about it, but knew I was a man and never measured it. I was tough and rugged. I was sunburn and stilled in my soul. I was harsh, yet gentle and never thought what it meant to be a man. I whipped ass when challenged and cuddled children that were crying. I think being a man is an instinct not a method. I was thrown in jail for fighting I was celebrated when I graduated. Being a man? I guess it is just being true to yourself as a man.Outlaw Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-80140251576048876142013-06-02T13:03:53.405-07:002013-06-02T13:03:53.405-07:00I'm not a very good "lawn maintainer"...I'm not a very good "lawn maintainer"; I've never built an emergency shelter, although I think I could swing a lean-to and a hip hole; I cried when I found my infant daughter deceased.<br /><br />A: 4 Roses Single Barrel - wow, just...wow.<br /><br />T: A.Fuente Gran Reserva<br /><br />F: POF 308 <br /><br />I'm surprised welding isn't on the lists...<br /><br />toothyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-36505712318843096172013-06-02T12:35:21.650-07:002013-06-02T12:35:21.650-07:00'I'm not.

And be able to prepare and eat it.<br /><br />- Shoot something, skin it, clean it and eat it.<br /><br />- Throw a punch.<br /><br />- Ride a motorcycle.<br /><br />- Drive a stick shift.<br /><br />- Sharpen a knife.<br /><br />- Carve something out of wood.<br /><br />- Handle an ax or a machete.<br /><br />- Pitch a tent and start a campfire.<br /><br />- Clean a gun (Nate mentioned this one).<br /><br />- Perform basic maintenance on automobile and house.<br /><br />- Grill a steak.<br /><br />- Have a freaking opinion about *something*, with the ability to muster an argument in support of said opinion.<br /><br />- Talk to any woman without flinching. (Watch for this one, and you will see it.)<br /><br />- Apologize for something only when deserved and without debasing yourself or embarrassing the other party.<br /><br />- Speak in front of a group of at least 50 people without falling apart. Although ideally, it should be any audience size.<br /><br />- Host a social gathering, introducing people, putting everyone at ease, etc...<br /><br />- Possess at least one manual skill that you could perform as labor if you lost your fruffly white-collar job.<br /><br />- Fitness: at least be able to manage more than 3 pathetic pullups and 10 pushups. That's a pretty low bar, gentlemen...<br /><br />- Have at least one sport or hobby that involves actually doing something or making something. (In other words, NOT stamp collecting)<br /><br />- Have at least 3 friends you could call on at any time, who would have your back.<br /><br />This is what comes to mind off the top of my head.
