I don’t know how I missed the Manival…last week no less!
Mr. Rogers throws down on Capitol Hill. Manly!
Dr. Awesome has much to say on the topic of manly posture. His description of his “bushel of canteloupes” sent me into hysterics!
Every man should seek comfort, but also be aware of the image he is projecting. For instance, you might be comfortable with your knees touching like you described, but what you are telling the world is that certain distinctly male anatomical features are basically a non-factor for you, as that’s the only way such a position could be comfortable. For that reason when I cross my legs, I mentally envision a bushel of cantaloupes between my thighs. While only Mrs. Awesome knows how accurate that is, at least that’s the image I’m projecting to the world.
Just when I think I have recovered from my all-consuming obsession crush with GotManswers, they strike again with the funny. But wait! Yet another Manival actually being hosted by GotManswers?! I am remiss, my friends.
Martial Development talks about martial arts badassery for the layperson. Which of course we, here at PersistentIllusion, totally support! …even though we are totally not laypeople…nooo… My blackbelt is in badass.
The Common Man wrote about a show that I wish will all the ferventness of my being would never have been cancelled, “Firefly” be thy name. Often Mr. PersistentIllusion and I can be found watching back episodes and discussing whether either of us would be offended by the situation with the Captain.
“Of course not, Beloved!” we murmur. ”Work is totally separate from our awesome relationship. I would never be jealous” we assure each other.
And finally, Totally Consumed presents a scintillating list of the manliest movies for manly men. That’s right, “Erin Brockovitch” is totally on this list. I also love “Life is Beautiful” and “Shawshank Redemption”. The only movie missing? “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”! Now that’s manly.

Life is Beautiful is one of my favorites. Everyone in my family hates on me for it though.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights! What a fantabulous movie that I haven’t seen in ages! I shall seek thee out oh singing-tighted-men, and watch thee until I cannot laugh anymore!

I loved Mr. Rogers’ twenty million dollar presentation! The way the Congressman just started melting. I thought before the end they would embrace in a loving tender hug.
This Robin Hood character… you do understand that he is the first documented Democrat in histroy…. don’t you?
No? Well just look at what he was all about. He went around taking money from the “more fortunate” and then he freely gave it to those “less fortunate”.
Hey, that’s income redistribution any way you look at it!
hayden tompkins says:
Well, I’ve been on both sides of the ‘income redistribution’ fence. Also, right now I am paying social security into a system which, in all likelihood, won’t be there when I get to retirement age. (Lockbox my ass.)
This is one reason why I am so big into ‘personal development’. The first step to personal growth is to take responsibility for your life – the good and the bad. Could you imagine what kind of world we would live in if everybody did that instead of scapegoating their problems?
Mister Rogers is the man!
