Gawain 0 #1 June 26, 2004 I was joking with a trainer this morning when I was leaving the gym. As he pulled up in his Infiniti G35, I observed an automatic transmission. He's a young fella, affluent, well spoken, etc. So, I ribbed him a little, "You know, you can get this car with a 6-speed." He said, "I don't like manual transmissions. I get bored with them." I said, (just to be sly and add an angle to the conversation) "How do you feel about barbeques?" He said, "I don't know, I don't have one or know how to use one." I ribbed, "Okay, hand me your 'Guy Card'. You're banned from using a TV remote and must report weekly to Lowe's or Home Depot to look at tools, charcoal-only barbeques." Then I started thinking, even certain things I don't know much about (like guns) still interest me as a guy. I'm drawn to them. Guns, cars, tools (even though I'm not too skilled), etc...you know, "Guy stuff". So, should guys know certain things, just by being guys?So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

kansasskydiver 0 #3 June 26, 2004 Hey I dont' like guns and I'm a guy. I liek cars, bbq's and boobies does that count? I never grew up around guns so I just never felt comfortable around them. My first experience with a gun was at a buddies house when he was playing around with his 45 and tells his roommate to go grab 2 phone books and they're gonna do the trust test. He held up the 2 books and he shot him. He laid there on the floor, I got up and left. They were fucking with me, firing blanks. I still didn't think it was funny though cause I had never been exposed to guns and won't have known any differently if 2 phone books could stop a 45 or not at 10 yards. Now computers and cars etc I can tell ya anything about<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #5 June 26, 2004 Guys should be able to grill a steak, they should be able to work on their cars/trucks (atleast beable to change tires, change oil, and do minor repairs/mods like welding up a new exhaust system). Guys should know how to shoot, they should be able to drive a stick. Guys do not have to know anything about interior design, beyond mounted game on the wall and cinderblock/plank wood shelves. A guys should be able to do basic carprenty, basic plumbing and basic home repair. A guy should be able to weld and work with metal to a point. A guy should be a guy!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #9 June 26, 2004 Every guy should have at least one tool boxfull of tools, and know how to use them. Gotta know how to play baseball and ride a dirt bike. He should know how to drive in snow without a bunch of chains and stuff, too. If he doesn't, he should pull over so I can pass him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
