National Man Day!
It's National Man Day!... or is it?

CELESTINE, Ind. - June 12, 2009 - -- Two Indiana men have declared Monday "National Man Day" only to find there's already a romantic holiday that falls on that date.
Ninteen-year-old Joel Longanecker of Celestine and his 26-year-old brother Joel Longanecker , of Indianapolis, have for months been rallying thousands to their masculine cause on Facebook. More than 260,000 people have pledged to "stand up and do manly things" on Man Day.
But it turns out June 15 is also "Sneak a Kiss Day," a day for sweethearts to steal smooches from their sweeties.
The Man Day organizers urge participants to take part in "manly" activities such as football, hunting or watching Rocky movies.
They claim real men don't "sneak" kisses!

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?se...rre&id=6865310

So to all you MEN.... HAPPY NATIONAL MAN DAY!

A Real Man, tied it off and drove on

Two Afghan commandos were killed and several of the American troops were injured, including Walding, whose leg was nearly torn from his body by enemy fire. He literally tied his ankle to his thigh, he said, to prevent the damaged appendage from “flopping around.”

Talking For all the Men...
for the actual song: http://humor.beecy.net/menwomen/mansong/

The Man Song
Ladies and gentleman, The Man Song!

He's the man. He's the man.

I don't take no crap from anybody else...
but you
I wear the pants around here...
when I finish with your laundry

Cos I'm a guy you don't wanna fight...
when I say "jump", you say "yeah right"
Cos I'm the man of this house...
until you get home

He's the man. He's the man.

When I say goes around here...
right out the window
But I don't wanna hear a lot of whining...
so I'll shut up

The sooner you learn who's boss around here...
the sooner you can give me my orders, dear
Cos I'm head honcho around here...
but it's all in my head

He's the man. He's the man.

And I can have sex anytime...
that you want
Cos I'm a man who has needs...
but they're not that important

And don't expect any flowers from me...
cos if I'm not mistaken, you prefer jewelry
I'm the king of my castle...
when you're not around

He's the man. He's the man.

And I'll drink and watch sports...
whenever I wanna get in trouble
And I'll come home, when I'm good and ready...
to sleep on the couch

Cos a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...
and I'm gonna do what you tell me to
Because I'm top dog around here...
but I've been neutered

He's the man. He's the man!

You the man!

Brave or stupid!? LOL I am HOPING(?) that the "Powers That Be" find the humor. If we cannot laugh at ourselves...well, then who can we laugh at?
