Man Card arithmetic question

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

It's an unwritten rule to never ask or care it's like trying to give yourself a nickname.

For example you just shot a deer and you sharpen it's antlers and use them to dress it. Then a pack of coyotes show up and you fight them all off bare handed. You then make the bed of a pick up into a giant charcoal grill and yes dry rub it with your secret spices and throw that whole deer on to grill.

Your buddy then says damn your a real man you earned points.

You declare to your friend your a man for all that you just lost all points. No matter how many points were stacked.

But I am not here to bust chops and I think you have an exception on TB since in order to get answers you must ask.
All those are manly do one more manly thing and the man court will waive the asking infraction.

Funny you should mention that ...

Just one showed up, though. And he was a cute little guy. The rest were too smart to come so close to the fence.

First of all, learn how to use commas; That was a difficult read.

Second, the whole concept of Man Points, Man Cards and Man Courts is childish. It's like giving gold stars to a 6-year old. It isn't a competition, and at least be enough of an adult to let your actions speak for themselves. To put it another way, if you're keeping track of how much of a man you are, you probably aren't much of one.

Math is what real men do when girls and sissy boys are discussing their feelings. If you have a huge man card score, you don't communicate at all. You just grunt in incomprehensible engineering code, punctuated with "hold my beer."

This is Serious. It is not childish at all to discuss such manly topics. It is Very Serious, and only the Very Most Serous people should concern themselves with Such Serious Matters. Now, excuse me while I go chase down a ferocious feral bus in its native habitat, the wilds of Fourth Avenue.

Now there's a manly thought on the matter.

And, if you get a gold star, you have to immediately bend it and get it really dirty and road worn, like it spent its life in the back of a pickup truck on the range while you were fixing fence posts. No commas, because commas deduct points.

Did a car chase result in being out of beer? That's always a good policy. Explosions and car chases go well with beer and grilling. Or you could have had a car chase going for more beer. That would be a perfectly acceptable scenario, too.

But they may ask for penance. Something like "Go kick a Harley over in the parking lot of a biker bar."
Just a test, really.

Back in the bad old days when I was a practicing drunk and only owned a motorcycle for transport, I was in a bar one night and some loud mouth jerk was going on and on and on about "If you don't own a Harley you ain't s&!t!!" so I asked him if that meant you were s&!t if you did own a Harley. He got in my face and told me that was his sportster out front and if I was calling him s&!t he was going to make life hard on me. I told him ok a-hole let's go outside and settle this. The only two bikes out front were his sporty and my FL so when we get outside I proceed to urinate all over his sportster. He was so surprised I had time to finish my biz and get everything tucked back in before he reacted. Didn't really matter though, he turned out to be all mouth and just watched me pee on his scooter than shrugged and walked back inside to his beer.

I tried that same stunt with a triumph rider a few months later and he knocked my lights out for me. He was a trained boxer, who knew?
