Required Man Skills

Yeah, my '00 Victory V92SC is fuel injected. As much as I like working on carbs, it is nice being able to let the computer do the thinking.

It is also nice to have a pushbutton start and not have to kick or choke the bike.

Rebuilding a generator on a 72 GT380J on the side of Roosevelt with a nail and a spring found on the side of the road and a part of my pen to make it to work is in a similar vein.

Easy there, MacGruber!

drink gin martini's,

you should drink martinis because they're delicious...and a little classier than the rum and coke you drank in college. remember, officer AND a gentleman.

Dirty martini my friends, the dirtier the better.

I tried a "real" martini. ONCE.

Never again. I felt like I was drinking a pine cone.

Adjusting valves on a Ducati is an advanced man-skill. (desmodromic is a BIATCH)

I would offer adjusting "normal" valves would be advanced; adjusting desmodromic would border on doctorate level man skills.

You should try again. With a good bartender, as a martini is an easy drink for the unexperienced to fuck up. You can also get vodka martinis if you're not a gin fan.

Kind of sad the guy said nothing even close to.....

Treat women with respect.

+1 for acknowledging that. Honoring a good woman is what real men do. (or should do)

oh and be able to drive a stick... autos are for NEWBZ yO

If this is your standard, I must be Steven Freaking Hawking.

Cleaning/changing points on a '69 Triumph Trident on the side of the road in the rain, hammered.

Maintaining anything involving electricity on a British Leyland product is fairly advanced

77. Be able to build something out of wood. Anything. If people were able to build houses and wagons and forts out of wood in the days of manually operated tools, you should be able to build something with all of these power tools you have available. No Ikea allowed.

Would making children be considered acceptable as being made from "wood". Just want to be sure of the context here

 

[MasterBates]

No, but being able to make a dick joke out of anything is a man skill.

or a properly timed "that's what she said."

I think the advanced man skill is taking all of the basic and intermediate skills that you know and successfully pass them on to your son/s. After all, they are a direct reflection of you.

Creating men out of boys is the pinnacle of an advanced man skill...

Speaking from one who is mentoring two man cubs of his own.
