75 things every man should master ...

If this is a d_b I apologize, but figured I'd throw this out there for the SportsJournalists.com crowd ...

His domain isn't number one?

 

I would think himself should be first

 

Nah, I think first would be "that thing she likes"

 

I think we're talking about the same thing

 

I'm not thinking so.

 

I just tried the bacon one. My place is completely full of smoke to the point my eyes are burning. Fuck that guy and his stupid list...I could already do the other 74.

 

Does 17 count if the drink is a White Russian?

Made several huge batches of those in my life, including drinks for 12 at a friend's fraternity in Pennsylvania during a road trip a few years ago. And yes, the Big Lebowski was the feature presentation that night.

 

Is changing the toilet paper roll on there?

 

We know how to do that, we just choose not to.

 

Scanned the list quickly, and while a couple were cooking-related, I would think any such list ought to have this:

Master one main dish, involving simple ingredients and prep, that never fails to impress.

 

These lists are pathetic; they feed on the masculine versions of the same sorts of insecurities fanned by the magazines that market themselves to young women. (Is your ass too big? Take this simple test.)
Esquire, I've been a man for quite a while now, getting along just fine, thanks.
