A Marine's Christmas Message Home

Bless our troops this Christmas.
This video is Marine Master Sargent Robert Allen's message home to his wife in a song he has written himself.

I challenge you to watch and listen without getting a little emotional, a little more patriotic, and a lot more thankful.

Well Done Sgt. Allen! Thank you for allowing this video to be shared, and thank you for your service to our great country.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten here at home.
 The biggest of Man Blog salutes goes out to all of our troops.  Merry Christmas Soldiers!

Larry The Cable Guy on Lousy Carolers

I had a caroler come to my door last night, and he really sucked: "Don't let your dog shit in my yard, and quit peeking in my windows or I am calling the cops".  That don't even rhyme! Not to mention, hollering ain't singing.  What a moron!

(I must give credit to Larry the Cable Guy for posting similar on
Facebook, I changed it slightly, but he gets credit for the joke.)

Another Follow up on the Senco Fusion Nailer

I posted about the Senco Fusion Nailer awhile back, thinking it was a cool new nailgun technology, and it is, but apparently it can use a little refining...maybe should have undergone a little more R&D, at least according to this guy.

I myself have never had my hands on one, or even seen one in person, but this gentleman seems to know what he wants in a nail gun, and the Senco Fusion is not it.

Kick-Ass Qoute: George Carlin

I can't disagree.  But that's why men have so much fun...half of us are too stupid to know we really shouldn't be doing what we are doing, the other half knows we shouldn't be doing it, but are too stupid to care.   R.I.P. Mr. Carlin

The Shocker: Hand Gesture of The New Millennium

The single hand gesture goes back centuries, but most recently, the ones we remember are the "Thumbs Up" of the fifties, the "Peace Sign" of the sixties, the "Spocker" of the seventies, the "Bird" of the eighties, the "Talk To The Hand" of the nineties, and the new millennium brings us....The Shocker.

Also known as "two in the pink, one in the stink" or "Two in the goo, one in the poo", among many other nicknames, "The Shocker" has almost become an everyday term synonymous with surprising your gal with a pinky up the ass.   The Shocker  has caught on big in certain circles (like mine) and is taking the world by storm.  Schools have had talks of reprinting entire yearbooks due to kids throwing The Shocker in some of the pictures.
Wikipedia describes The Shocker [HERE]

Two Rock Bands (that I know of) have written, recorded and performed songs titled: The Shocker

For more information on this craze that is sweeping the world,  just Google: "The Shocker", there is plenty of hilarity out there, including  American Soldiers teaching Middle Eastern kids the fine art of throwing The Shocker.

How Men Wrap Gifts

I came up with this idea while purchasing a 5 gallon bucket and lid for my wife to use to brine our Thanksgiving turkey.

What I came up with is how to wrap Christmas gifts....man style.  Not only would a bunch of these look really cool under your tree, but they are "peek resistant".
The "Homer" buckets are available at Home Depot for $2.60 each, or in a pack of 3 for $7.02
And the lids are available for $1.18 each


Simply put your gift(s) in the bucket with any necessary padding/packaging material, and snap the lid on using a rubber mallet.
The lid snaps on, leaving a lid that should only be able to be removed by pulling the plastic band off.  That's why I say they are "peek resistant", because if you have a kid that is savvy enough, he/she may run to Home Depot for more lids, so I guess it depends on if it's worth $1.18 per gift for him/her to peek.
You can take it a step farther too, and get different color buckets from different retailers.
Cost wise, it's about the same as a gift bag and/or paying to have your gifts wrapped (2 of the current men's favorite ways to wrap gifts...the 3rd being the sack it came in).

Nail Gun Marksmen

This is one of the coolest videos I have run across in a long time. It was actually suggested to me on the YouTube home page because I had watched the Senco Cordless Nailer video.

Both of these guys are true marksmen with the nail gun, but the second guy makes a phenomenal one in a million shot. Unbelievable!

Quite possibly a fake with some clever editing...but even still it looks good.

How-To Jump Start a Car

With cold weather upon us, the battery in your vehicle loses cranking amps. The colder it is, the weaker your battery.

In extreme cold weather, turn your headlights on for 3 or 4 minutes prior to cranking your starter, this will warm the battery enough to bring it up to it's full amperage.  If this still does not work, jump starting it may be necessary. It pays to know how to do this yourself (much like changing a tire) because if nothing else, you can save time...even if you have a Roadside Assistance plan, it can sometimes be up to a 4 hour wait for a tow truck....hmmm 2 minutes to jump start, 15 to change a tire, or wait 4 hours on AAA, to me it's a no-brainer.  Not to mention, if you have a penis, and have had to call AAA for a tire change, or jump start, don't even consider calling yourself a Real Man.

This week's video: How To Jump Start Your Car..... (sorry, couldn't find one with hot chicks, but with Winter coming, this is something every man should know)

Making Music With a Jeep

I ran across this video surfing YouTube.  Now this is COOL!   The guys spent 2 weeks rehearsing their parts, and it took them 7 hours of filming to get the perfect take. Every sound is made by the Jeep.  Well done guys!

Keep an eye on the Man Blog, I have a feeling some more of Julian's videos will be showing up here in the future.

Featured Website: Sears.com



Not only is Sears the original seller of Craftsman tools (favorite of Real Men everywhere), but as a company, they have actually chosen to do the RIGHT thing.

Companies are required by law to hold the position for an employee that has been deployed by the military.  Sears takes it a step farther, making up the difference in salary, benefits, etc. so that the employee is able to keep their family in the lifestyle they are accustomed to...eliminating even more unwanted stresses to the Soldier.
I researched this thinking: "Yeah right, a big company caring about something other than stockholders and profits?", and my research yielded much surprise. It is 100% the truth.  I verified it through 3 different sources, all of which are very credible.
So please...show your appreciation for a company with a heart filled with something other than greed.  If you can, do at least some of your shopping at Sears.
Spend your hard-earned money with a company that cares about it's people, not oce that only cares about it's profits.

When you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.

A friend will bail you out of jail.

A real friend will be sitting there next to you in the cell saying: "Shit, I guess we fucked up....but DAMN that was fun!"

America loses one of it's favorite real men: Andy Rooney

It was announced that long-time CBS Commentator Andy Rooney has passed away at 92 after suffering complications due to a recent minor surgery.

Read the CNN story here

Mr. Rooney was one of those guys who could make you think by making you laugh.  It takes a very wise man to be able to make people laugh at serious situations while making them think about it, but Mr. Rooney did it every week.

A HUGE Man Blog salute goes out to the late great Andy Rooney......R.I.P.  Mr. Rooney.  You will be missed by many.

Andy Rooney as we used to see him on Sunday evenings.

Halloween 2011: Headless Biker

This is one of the only times you will ever see me post a picture of myself.  Not because I am scared of internet stalkers, or the FBI, CIA, IRS, or any other 3 letter agency that thinks their shit don't stink...but because I don't want to ugly up, downgrade, or spoil the classy mood of the Man Blog.

I won Most Original Costume though at a party last night, so I wanted to share it.  Being the cheapskate that I am, I didn't want to spend any money, so I took the hood from a faceless reaper costume from one of the past year's costumes, and wore it under my motorcycle helmet, put on my Worth Harley Davidson shirt, along with my chaps, riding boots, leather jacket and riding gloves.....viola!  Headless biker.

Skyhumping, more fun than Skyjacking, and Almost as Illegal

 The news story:


The video:


It seems funny to me that David Chrouch of Sky Dive Taft claims: "This shouldn't have happened and will never happen again." and acting like he had no clue this was going on, yet the video seems to be basically a commercial for Sky Dive Taft. Why else would they put Sky Dive Taft in both beginning and ending credits?  Just tell the truth Mr. Chrouch, you knew all about it, and was hoping it would get out, and give Sky Dive Taft all kinds of free publicity....and why didn't the receptionist get fired too? Could it be all the potential customers who will come in just because they want to nail her?  Thought so.
I am no Sherlock Holmes, but it seems obvious to me.

Well done on the Marketing Mr. Chrouch, I hope Sky Dive Taft is prospering.....in the future, just learn to cover your ass a little better, blatant lying on the news just makes you look like a douchebag.

Specimen Jar Having the Last Laugh

Epic Douchebag: Michael Duke CEO Walmart


This douchebag has probably done more to ruin the United States than our entire administration (past and present) put together.
He tossed out Wal-Mart's "Made in the USA" buying practices in favor of cheaper made crap from China.  This was all cleverly done by making it almost impossible for manufacturers in the US to make products for Wal-Mart.  Demanding structural and procedural changes to factories, and then expecting such a low purchasing price, that it wouldn't make it worth it.  I'd be willing to bet Wal-Mart does not make these demands of the Chinese manufacturers. (other than the low purchasing prices, because it is cheap Chinese shit after all)
This prick also claims Wal-Mart can't afford to supply it's employees with basic health insurance (a lot of Wal-Mart employees do have insurance, so really would it break the bank to supply ALL employees?) while he draws a completely ridiculous $35 million salary.
Let's put this into terms that the normal person can grasp.... That's $16,826 per hour...per HOUR!
The average Wal-Mart employee will earn $13,650 per year...per YEAR!
Seems to me like just one, maybe two hours of his salary would probably cover the health insurance for all the employees.
These kind of salary practices are 75% of what is wrong with this country.  Yes, Presidents and CEOs do deserve high, even VERY high salaries....but ridiculous salaries?  Any American that feels they deserve more in an hour than another hard-working American earns in a year needs to be violated prison style.

Michael Duke.........You're a fuckin' Douchebag!

His last post was back in  2009, so he has probably abandoned it.  There are some good posts though, and worth a look.

Factory Recall On Dildos

This is by far the best radio prank I have ever heard.
Next time you get a chick's phone number, disguise your voice, and be the guy from the toy company.  It would be a great way to learn if she's either frigid, or just way more than you could handle....either way though, what an ice breaker when you reveal who you really are.

Epic Douchebag: Nadya Suleman a.k.a. Octomom

This Douchebag has actually done nothing to earn the title other than just being born stupid.  Too stupid to know it's a vagina, not a clown car....too stupid to accept help without being a bitch (she basically had the whole world kissing her ass, and farted).... and too stupid to realize that now she is totally fucked.
This waste of space is a great example as to why stupid people shouldn't breed....but breed she did...8 times in one shot, probably ruining her reproductive organs, so she can't even be considered life support for a vagina anymore....which makes her absolutely 100% useless.
In most recent news, she is losing her home to foreclosure. YEEHAA! more little bastards for the public to support.
