Manliest Way To Fish Ever

> Acts of Manliness — admin @ 11:21 am

Overtaking the current champion of manliest fishing, Dynamite Fishing (followed closely by Hand Grenade Fishing), Matt Watson employs his newest technique which calls the “Gannet Man”.

A gannet is the baddest fish-catching bird ever.

Gannets can dive from a height of 30 m, achieving speeds of 100 km/h as they strike the water, enabling them to catch fish much deeper than most airborne birds.

So he decided to be Gannet man, which sounds a lot less impressive than Batman but…have you ever seen Batman tackle a swordfish from a helicopter?

Take that, Bassmasters!

This guy is kit by a freakin’ car while enjoying a nice meal and suffers no real injuries.

The thing he’s most concerned about…where are his cigarettes?

Bruce Wayne They Are Not

> Not Manly — admin @ 4:44 pm

When Bruce Wayne was terrorized by bats as a child in the caves underneath his family’s estate, he grew to respect the bat for what it was. He then used that terror to fight crime and embraced what he had learned.

Two guys were working at what looks like a Pizza shop when a single bat gave them a traumatic evening as well.

But these fellas are no Bruce Waynes.

I don’t care if there were 50 bats…no, 50 vampire bats…with AIDS, REAL MEN DO NOT SCREAM LIKE THAT.

Manly Soap

> Manly Products — admin @ 3:24 pm

I’m calling B.S. on this product.

mansoap

Seattle Sundries’ Manly Man soap is made from something called vetiver and contains clary sage essential oils. It’s handmade with a mixture of olive oil and palm oil.

Now correct me if I’m wrong but REAL man soap is white with green stripes and is made by leprichauns.

It doesn’t contain essential oils, it removes motor oil.

And if it doesn’t smell like an Irish spring, that bar had better have a damned rope attached to it.

So nice try Seattle Sundries. Maybe next time you should try shaping your bar of soap into a gun or a shiv to at least give the appearance of manly soap.

Laser Tattoos

> Acts of Manliness — admin @ 4:35 pm

Needles, ink, tiny motorized tattoo gun…those are for girls now.

Try sticking your arm in a laser-etching machine, you know the kind that can carve any image you want into a zippo or on the back of your iPod.

Yeah, how about you man-up and get youself a skull with a snake curling around the dagger thats piercing it’s eyeball burned into your flesh with a f*cking laser!

(Sadly the guys in this clip chose to permanently mark themselves with video game characters and smiley faces instead of something incredibly manly like dragons and vikings but at least it’s still dudes tattooing themselves with lasers.)

Godhand

> Acts of Manliness — admin @ 4:55 pm

Godhand. Now that is a name given with respect.

Masutatsu Oyama was dubbed the Godhand, a living manifestation of the Japanese warriors’ maxim Ichi geki, Hissatsu or “One strike, certain death”.

Oyama

In 1952 Oyama started demonstrating his martial arts to American audiences where he took on all challengers resulting in 270 fights. He beat most of these people in under 3 minutes and usually with one punch.

It was claimed “If he hit you, you broke. If you blocked a rib punch, you arm was broken or dislocated. If you didn’t block, your rib was broken.”

He was also known as “The Bull Killer”. Yet another awesomely manly name and it’s not just a cool name his buddies gave him rather a name earned by killing 52 bulls…with his bare hands, four of which were killed with a single punch. He even developed a “knife-hand blow” that could break the bull’s horns.

You don’t get badass paintings of yourself karate chopping bulls by being a sissy.

bullkiller

Yet another nickname was Bear Fighter. I’m guessing that’s not just his girlfriends’ pet name for him either.

When I read about his death in 1994 from cancer, I realized that it was probably just a made up fact to make him seem more human. But I will always believe he died the way he lived…by punching himself to death.

ManOverse Theme Song

> Videos — admin @ 4:29 pm

An extremely manly reader by the name of Andy (whose name should be MANdy if it wasn’t a woman’s name) submitted this overlooked song as an “anthem” or possible theme song for ManOverse.com and I totally agree.

So without further ado, the “Unofficial” (because I’m probably not legally allowed to just steal it) theme song for ManOverse.

“Now You’re a MAN” from the opening credits of the Orgasmo movie

Andy…thank you sir, you are a genius!

Every Beard

> Acts of Manliness — admin @ 4:19 pm

Jon Dyer from Dyers.org is in the process of doing something very manly.

BeardGuy

He plans on growing EVERY BEARD!

Beards

The process looks like it’s taken quite some time but totally worth it from a manly standpoint.

At the time of my discovering his Quest for Every Beard, he had completed a total of 24 types including variations of them.

I highly suggest reading his “Beard FAQ” as well…highly entertaining.
