You want manly?

I was installing cable in a house once, when my hammer drill somehow got stuck in the wall when drilling through it, it went through but just would NOT come back. So I went outside and kicked the drill back through the wall. Only to find out the bit went through my boot, through my foot and lodged into my bone. The force from my super kick was caused from my bone pushing back against the drill bit. They had to pull boot fragments from the hole in my foot


Yes I finished the job bleeding like a stuck pig. Thats what men do. Not the stupid part per say, but finishing after realizing how stupid the stupid was

On a more manly note, I went to a party and after consuming enough alcohol began break dancing in the hosts living room, resulting in being pulled by two blondes into the bathroom with them.... I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

Edit - totally didn't notice at first, but the Mario picture being set to "1-player game" just makes it complete gold.

I might have to put my cousin in for a man card on this one:

He was drunk one night and his wife got pissed at him and locked him out of their house. He promptly went to the tool shed, got out his chainsaw and chopped his way through the side of the house.

Of course that earns him stupid points, also, but in a manly way.

The only thing more manly than that is if he would've bought 4 more chainsaws and bolted them to his front bumper to make a "chainsaw dozerblade" which he then promptly employed in the same manner

I've been head-butted by a horse: Manly or unfortunate?

Discuss.

Depends, what did you do to piss it off and how did you retaliate?

Did you headbutt back? If so, Manly.

Most of my manliest stories have had their details blurred by alcohol (tearing apart a jammed door so I could finally take a piss and get another beer) or blood loss (15 stitch sword wound). I choose the simple route for man-validation: I've got a 6-inch beard and it doesn't hold a candle to my .

Is it manly to have a manicure while flying first class to Japan for New Year's Day?

Maybe... might depend on what the manicurist looks like.


I admit to going to a hair salon... but for one reason. To have a nice looking woman pressing her chest into my face as she washes my hair.

hmmm it appears that I'm getting a lot of "cool story bro's."

I mean, this is a thread about doing manly stories so I don't see why... unless you're just jealous

Interestingly enough, Redneck Mancred and stupidcred begin with the same quote....
"Hey Y'all... watch THIS!"

Alas, I didn't.

Again, "1 player game".

Still funny.

Is the horse still alive? It's not too late to go back there and headbutt it. If it asks you what the hell you're doing, just slide on a pair of Aviators and reply with an ice-cold "Something I should've done a long time ago."

If that horse isn't terrified of your man-mind, then it must be some kind of mutant horsebeast

Hmm...well, I both build and shoot things, so I hope that counts for manliness.

My best shot would probably be a party I attended during my college days. My (future)wife commented that I needed to move my beer because it was sweating on her. Turned on the lights after 15 minutes or so and she looked like somebody out of a horror movie - tank top covered in blood. Turned out it wasn't condensation from the beer, but blood from my hand from hitting something earlier. That was the night I determined Tequila and I might not be the best of mates.

Well, I've been drunk and shot a gun before. At the same time. That computer moniter will think twice before it messes with me again. I beleive it was a double barrel 12 gauge, but I honestly don't remember

Does that make me manly?

Well for me at least, my joke was aimed at the fact that you didn't specify genders of the 2 blondes, and not at any sort of disbelief...

For the record, eyeliner got me laid Friday night (with a chick, to clarify ). Karaoke got me close last night as well

I play rugby and kayak on the weekends. I go white water rafting a lot. Manly? I only have a number 4 haircut though.

I have also been shot with an arrow. I tore it out immediately, which i later learned you're not supposed to do. pretty manly tho.

Only if you then went on shove it up the nose of the person who fired it at you in the first place

As for dudes wearing eyeliner and getting laid as a result, I'd rather have a pot noodle and a wan.....

Well I did run out of the woods, bloody arrow in hand, yelling and screaming at the guy who shot it. I probably would've throttled him if I wasn't drained from loss of blood.

I will be spending the coming weekend changing the oil on my car, sharpening my chainsaw, drinking beer and watching porn while the wife cooks, cleans and does all that womanly stuff I never notice.

*Light's cigar and calls for slippers*

On a more serious note my wife was actually attracted to me because the first time we met I'd been working on a JCB all day and stank of oil and diesel. Women there funny things aren't they.

Once crushed my hand in the door of a Hydrema, didn't see a doctor and continued to work on site for three days with 3 broken knuckles.

Closest thing I have to a manly story is this.

Back when I was young (bout 7-8 or so) I was climbing a tree in the dead of winter. As a proud Icelandic man (Boy at the time, of course) I was wearing naught but Jeans, shoes, and a T-Shirt. I fell from almost 10 feet, and landed on my elbow, the way I was positioned driving my fist into my gut. Heard a huge crack, but I thought it was the ice on the sidewalk I had fallen onto. I just sat there hissing with pain for a minute, then I went inside and mostly forgot about it, and 4 days later was annoyed enough by the pain to b*tch at my parents to take me to the Doctor. I didn't even realize it was broken, I thought the pain when I moved it was because I had a massive bruise. Yeah, I was pretty stupid back then.

I pity the unfortunate girls they're attempting to 'lay', then, when it comes down to the quality of the business. The very ability to wear such mind-boggling pants suggests a lack of... well, just a lack.

I was shot in the kneecap once. Is that manly?

I ran a hundred yards with a girl in a white dress over my shoulder at a medieval reenactment... it was part of an organised event, trust me. Probably'd been more manly if it wasn't. She immediately started hanging around me for the rest of the afternoon... Pissed my girlfriend right off, so I had to man up and tell her to sod off. The other girl, not mine. Or should it have been the other way around?

Manly or gay?



I mean, my pal in this picture weighs at least 16st, so being able to lift that is pretty manly - however, cradling a man in your arms like a baby is pretty gay.

It's a tricky one...

Balls touching? No? Not gay.
That's not what the thread is about though. I know some pretty butch gays I wouldn't bother picking a fight with.

If you have to ask then it's gay

Plus the fact we all know that you didn't lift him, a moment before the piccie was taken he spotted a spider on the other side of the garden and leaped into your comforting arms squealing "help me Alby save me from the moster"
