Thanks to the wholesome, boy-friendly Susan for this:
Unfortunately, I can't accept it b/c I can only think of two others to pass it along to besides the fine folks Susan did. However, since I believe in breaking rules, I'll pass this along to Void (he just got married and his manly quotient is magnified tenfold, despite bachelor opinion to the contrary) and Adam (who is about to have another child, and, given the pedigree, I imagine we'll have another great human in progress). Since I'm breaking rules, I'll attach no strings, unless one wishes to comply w/ them:
Strings, according to Susan: Tell a couple of things about yourself, the name of your fave guy book, fave sports moment, favorite manly man movie, fave manly music, fave food w/ no nutritional value:
1.) Thing about myself: Though I'm a mechanical engineer, I'm more a gym rat than a gear head (though I've been doing lots of work with gears recently - worm, spur, gear racks)
2.) Fave guy book: George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones.
3.) Fave manly movie: not sure, though I'm not a huge fan of Godfather, Rocky, Raging Bull, etc... perhaps a symptom of being a Laker's Man (though I'm not a huge Jack fan either).
4.) Fave manly music: Rammstein (Du Hast), Korn (Twisted Transistor), Eminem (Till I Collapse), GNR (It's So Easy)
5.) Fave food: pizza, Mexican, doughnuts, cookie dough... this list could go on forever (and is probably the reason I'm a gym rat).
All of the above is true to the best of my knowledge. For the next post, I'll work on lying
Hey! More cool blogs to check out!
ReplyDeleteThe wholesome (usually) and boy-friendly(always) Susan
Whoa! I had to roll back in my chair to evade the testosterone emissions :D Put me down for a pepperoni, mushroom, salami, black olive, shrimp and broccoli pizza. And a licence to lie - it doesn't get much better than that lol
ReplyDeleteI love this award, and I love its rules even more! You did a manly job of answering those manly man questions, Bane. I enjoyed the rationale behind your recipient choices. Fun post! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, a mechanical engineer and a creative writing side..... your manly brain must function at 100%..... cool. :O)

I'm with you- I'm an exercise fanatic because I love to eat. Good thing I'm on a veggie kick right now.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award!
Wow. I got this award twice in one day. That's awesome! I'll give the same answers here as I did on Matt's blog (sorry for the cross-comment).
ReplyDeleteCouple things: I drill holes in concrete, destroy doorknobs, and kill snakes. I don't do cars though; that's my Manly Man Failure.
Guy Book: The Fifth Elephant, Night Watch, and any other Terry Pratchett book starring Sam Vimes. (Honorable Mention goes to The Hunger Games, because Katniss would make an awesome guy).
Sports Moment: 49ers v. Falcons. Steve Young's pass deflects off a lineman's helmet, so he runs up and catches it himself!
Manly Movie: Diehard. (This is also my favorite Christmas movie).
Food WNNV: Bacon Cheese Roll. Step 1: Weave Bacon.
Manly Music: I don't often think of music as manly, but I'll go with Metallica's Black Album.
Adam, I think that makes you The Man, or Double Man, if you'd prefer.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about the sports moment myself (though I guess the post title hints at it) -- probably Robert Horry's 3 vs the Kings in the Western Conference Finals.
And Diehard rocks.
I'm not at all manly, but I love your music favs. All of them.
ReplyDeleteDude, you rock.
.........dhole
Ooh, congrats Bane! I like your answers, especially the food ones... I'm right there with you on that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for passing it on! I'm glad I didn't lose ya on the marriage hiatus I took. I apparently lost 2 followers LOL. :P
Ha, me too -- I went from Joe D's hit streak to 54 -- c'est la vie. Great pic, btw.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad someone came up with a manly-man award--sort of. Looks way better on a guy than those frilly ones ;)
