Sunday Service: God Has a Sense of Humor!
Another great video by Julian Smith. This made me laugh, and once again pray that God has a sense of humor.
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!
Julian Smith is the maker of this video, his other fine work can be seen at JulianSmith.tv. Or on his YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/user/juliansmith87
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.

Redneck Storytellin
I can almost picture the General Lee with Dale Jr. behind the wheel. I wonder what happened to Bo and Luke.
The scary thing is that this guy will probably breed, if he hasn't already.
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.

Kick-Ass Quote: Lee Iacocca
When you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.
(Lee Iacocca quoting his father)
The difference between a friend, and a real friend...
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!"
(Tim's 2 cents)

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.
