Man Card arithmetic question

[UncleFluffy]

How does this all add up for a man card score? Positive or negative points?

- grilling tri-tip
- with own rub recipe
- over charcoal
- while drinking
- and dog watching

but

- ran out of beer due to bad planning
- so drinking Cava instead

but

- from the bottle, not a glass?

All positive. The negatives are because you are brain dead and don't think ahead. That says Man Bonus Points! Cava is pretty questionable, but if it was all that's available, it's acceptable. If you were drinking diet cola with a maraschino cherry and a paper umbrella in it, you would immediately be kicked out of the gender until you went through some remedial knuckle head training. But, you didn't, so you are safe!

Hrm. I like this interpretation. It makes me feel a little better. Thank you.

But I can't help thinking that that "ran out of beer" part is worth minus infinity, or pretty damn close.

 

[Gaolee]

Not a chance. It proves you live in the moment, grasshopper! If it was somebody else's beer you finished off, then you get more bonus points. If you asked your wife/girlfriend to go get more and she told you to drink cava, and you did because, why not, it's probably got more alcohol in it than Bud Lite anyway, that's even better. It's all about the spin, excuses, and rationalization.

Oh, a couple other bonus points - if there was televised football and some kind of gasoline motor involved, you win.

Adds up to zero. You lose all your points for caring about Man Card points.

Infinity, 'cause **** it, I said so.

Precisely, you were well ahead but blew it by asking for validation, a female trait.

Yay, overt sexism.

All your points are awarded to Downunderwonder....he called it!

 

[capnjim]

Bonus points if you ran out of beer because you drank all 24.

Bourbon or scotch is worth more points than the urine-water...er, beer.

Cooking meat over open fire always results in positive points. Using self-created rub is a bonus. All else is white noise.

If Zima would have been your go-to once out of beer, things would have fallen out of your favor, mathematically speaking.

Ha! The expression on my dog's face while I was cooking the meat was all of the validation I needed.

I meant it more as one of those philosophical conundrums. "What happens when an immovable force hits an irresistable object" kind of thing ...

 

[Gaolee]

There are no immovable forces. There are some irresistible objects, though. I can think of a few. They usually get me into a lot of trouble.

*** is math? Must be something girls and sissy boys do when they are not putting products in their hair.
