We need a thread just for us men to talk about man things. You know like catching fish with our bare hands or taking down a wild beast with only a stick.

I just tied up 20 3oz weights & 10 4oz weights and began my tackle organization. Its always about this time of year when I put a hold on going fishing until mid-may and began to organize/get stuff ready for next season...

unmanly confession...

i tear up at stuff all the time, from the obvious things like emotionally gut wrenching movies like 'life is beautiful' and 'the pianist' to things like the old lifesaver commercial where the dad and daughter were watching the sunset and the dad says "going... going... gone" and the girl follows up with a whispered "do it again daddy".

I had girl problems so I took care of them the manly way. I got so drunk that I didn't remember yelling at her in public and calling her things like filty promicuous female that gets paid for having sex (the explicit version) and telling her to uh...well, you can only imagine.

Three times.

Then when she called me the final time I asked her if she had gotten the hint yet. I think I finally got rid of her.

That was an awesomely manly way of taking care of a problem. Screw that whole sitting down and talking it out bit.

You are my idol.
