Man Rules
These may be no more than observations, but they're important.
I've been thinking a lot lately about what separates a dude from a total ass-wipe.
Some of the factors are complex, but others are very basic.
Feel free to add any that you feel are relevant, but don't fucking argue about mine.
The following are non-negotiable.
1. Talking to me without your pants on is not cool.
Dudes at my gym carry on seemingly normal conversations with each other with no pants on.
I don't go for that.
If I can see your balls, I'm not talking to you.
Likewise, I will extend the same courtesy by not engaging you in idle banter with my ball-fro in full view.
Stow that shit.
Only then may you ask me about the weather without me crushing your sternum.
2. Never say "excuse me" when you fart.
Farting is awesome.
It is, however, unacceptable to say "Excuse me" after an ass-blast of any magnitude.
Unless you're a fag.
Or a girl.
Here are some of the acceptable, manly things to say after letting one loose:
a. Hahaha...!
b. Hahaha...! Did you hear that shit...?!
c. Booya...!
You get the picture.
3. Wiping deodorant on yourself counts as a shower.
Your significant other needs to get her head around that shit.
It's the way it is.
Bathing is often a waste of time and Speed Stick is a perfectly acceptable substitute.
Especially if you're getting ready to go to someone else's wedding or your wife's bullshit office party.
4. Titties are awesome.
No explanation needed.
And there are no exceptions except in the case of dude boobs or "doobs".
Those are not cool.
If you respond to my lewd comment about a random pair of titties with "Ewwww" or anything less than unabashed enthusiasm, I will wreck your shit.
5. Don't tell me how to grill.
If you're fortunate enough to be invited to my compound for a meal, shut the fuck up.
Feel free to gush about how awesome I am or how hot my wife is or how all my shit is better than yours.
But do not make suggestions of any kind about the way I rock my grill.
I grill my shit the way I grill it.
I set it on fire for like 30 seconds and then turn it over to put the flames out.
When the flames on the other side have died down to like 6 inches high, it's done.
Eat it.
6. I know everything.
Don't fucking argue.
If I say something is awesome, leave it the fuck alone.
Likewise, if I say that something or someone is decidedly uncool, that's the way it is.
If I want to deliberate or hear a contradictory point of view, I'll talk to my wife, not you.
Dudes agree with other dudes about everything all the time.
Anyway, it is important to note that this is not a complete list.
You might follow these rules and still be a douche-bag.
I'll let you know.
Just keep your fucking pants on.
