This discussion might have already been posted, but given the number of discussions, it is hard to tell.

So here goes:

I want to initiate the ultimate list of Manly Things. 

Add to it, or even disagree with something someone has added, but NO DUPLICATES (that means, you have to read and pay attention to what has already been listed)

Does not have to be physical things, can also be activities, etc.

I am interested to see if we can reach 1,000 items;  shouldn't be that difficult.

Here are my contributions for the first 25:

1.  barber shops

2.  coin collections

3.  stubble

4.  Aqua Velva

5.  briefcases

6.  wing tips

7.  pin up posters

8. beer mugs

9.  Right Guard

10.  cigars

11.  camping

12.  betting shops

13.  toothpicks

14.  chewing tabacco

15.  wanking

16.  whiskey

17.  hairy pits

18.  hula girl lamps

19. English Leather

20.  boxing

21.  cowboy boots

22. jockstraps

23.  pipes

24.  shoe shine kits

25.  money clips

thanks for doing the count -- Jay

279. Thinking of someone as a great resource because he can advise you on a computer language/auto repair/&c

280. Talking about sex like it's a substance:  "Getting any?"

281. Calling up a friend, saying, "You wanna [swim/play a game/watch a game]?" and then "Bye," and not expecting him to be miffed that that's all you said

282.  Having a friend about which the main appeal is that you both like to do some such thing

283.  Deciding things based on lists of pros and cons (not saying it's a good thing)

284.  Lists

285.  Wanting, or caring about, a guy code/being manly/doing the manly thing (as opposed to just the right thing or the helpful thing)

286.  Really ugly bulldogs

IMO Real men are minimalists for they don't need things to be manly especially an abundance of unnecessities  

287. Carmina Burana

Being able to break anything. On purpose. With or without hand tools.

 I checked quickly, so I'm hoping I'm hoping this isn't an attack of the clones.

 But I would throw out:  Redwing Work Boots

                                 Indiana Jones

                                 Horse Training

                                 Jousting

                                 Splitting wood with a maul

                                 Woodstoves

                                 Blackpowder

                                 Canoeing, especially through white water.

                                 Riding in the car with your trusty dog.

                                 And finally, the noble attempt to bring in your wife's entire haul from the grocery store in one trip.

Insults as a sign of friendship

beards

rough-housing with your kids

301, we be at!

 Has someone included yelling? Whether it be the Tarzan, Rebel yell, Highland battle cry, Native American war whoop, or just a cry of primal exuberance, it's pretty invigorating.

- Having rugged facial hair

- Big game hunting in the snowy wilderness

- Doing a serious workout barechested

- Wrestling in large wild animal to the ground

My last contributions: Lee Marvin

                              Altoids

                              Caber Toss

                              Original BBQ sauce/Chili recipes
