Television has taught us many things. Canned laughter lets us all know when something is funny (in case we didn't notice) and David Spade is on TV to let us know when something is definitely not. The average gravy commercial however can teach us all about one of the manliest things to do in life; carve the Sunday roast. You have your entire family over where you (or your better half) have slaved all morning over lunch and then the time comes for Alpha Papa to carve. Nothing is more manly than that. Be a dad. Be a man. Carve a roast.
11. Le Sabrage
During Napoleon's reign, the Hussars (French Calvary) celebrated victory by beheading bottles of champagne with their sabres. Why? Because it looks really cool, that's why. You can score extra man-points if you extend the scope of bottles you open with a sword to more than just Champagne though. That bottle of Ketchup giving you trouble? Bust out the katana. Don't have the three-fifths of a second required to open that bottle? Absolutely not...now pass me my sword. Huzzah!
10. Run With The Bulls
Ernest Hemingway was one of the manliest writers to have ever lived. He survived World War I, two plane crashes, four wives and enough alcohol to kill a Rhino. He also brought to the world's attention the running of the bulls, an annual festival of machismo and insanity where bulls are released through the narrow streets of Pamplona. This adrenaline rush is a bucket-list favourite for men everywhere and for good reason. It's that heady mix of bravery and stupidity that we men find impossible to resist.
