[iamlowsound]

Maki, what happened to the idea of a manlaw website?

I propose you are either not a drinker of alcoholic beverages or you are a drinker of alcoholic beverages.
Free of choice.

Certainly, but nothing about "beer is good" implies "not drinking is unmanly". I'd use dog-ownership as an analogy ... dogs are generally treated as manly in the Man Laws, but no Man Law says that owning a dog is necessary to receive a Man Card.

As for dividing alcoholic beverages into "manly" and "unmanly" that's definitely an idea worth running with, but I think it can happen in parallel with "beer is good".

w.r.t. dogs, I'd like to propose a refinement of an earlier suggestion:

"Any dog that has traveled in a woman's purse at any time in its adult life counts as a cat for the purposes of Man Law."

 

[MatticusMania]

I like cats. Not dogs in purses.

 

[UncleFluffy]

I like cats. Not dogs in purses.

Agreed. 2 cats here.

However, man law says what it says, so I'm thinking we can at least drag the dropkick dogs down with us.

"Any dog that has traveled in a woman's purse at any time in its adult life counts as a cat for the purposes of Man Law."

Seconded!

A dog is not a fashion accessory, it's a DOG!

 

[UncleFluffy]

Actually, to avoid insulting cats, what about "... counts as a squirrel for the purposes of Man Law" ?

Men don't care if they insult cats. CATS don't care if men insult cats.

 

[Gard]

Men don't care if they insult cats. CATS don't care if men insult cats.

I started to say something else, but ^this covers it, perfectly.

Smoking - anything - is not subject to Man Laws, IMO. If you are foolish enough to light something on fire and intentionally breathe in the smoke created by it, and can STILL be manly, you are manly, but no more so than a man that is sensible enough to NOT do so.

It is not in any way to be equated with the imbibing of manly (i.e. beer) beverages in bestowing Manliness.

Actually I like this as a man law. I'm seconding this.

 

[MakiSupaStar]

Men don't care if they insult cats. CATS don't care if men insult cats.

I'd also like to second this.

Mr. Maki, as the keeper of the Man Laws, what is your ruling on not delivering beer lost as a bet with respect to a man's Man Card?

Welching on a bet between gentlemen is instant grounds for removal of man card. (IMO of course, submitted, for approval).

Speaking of which SoCom STILL owes me beer from the Friendly wager thread.

Seconded- but is there a contingency plan for re-obtaining said card?

Ok I think we post an update of the man laws. I've added all the addendums and new ones too.

 

[MakiSupaStar]

Seconded- but is there a contingency plan for re-obtaining said card?

I think when the person owed feels the debt has been adequately payed.

 

[Joe Gress]

Is watching certain tv shows of very non manly subjects all day to be able to sit on a couch with two could very well could be girlfriends with bounuses considered to be a man law infraction?

Thank you for your ruling, sir.

Man, how did I know this one...

My thoughts exactly- but it's good to have it in writing.
