Man Record

So, sometimes at work I submit a piece of writing and it needs to get edited before I can go home. Like right now, at 5:41 on Wednesday. While I'm waiting, here's a post I've been waiting to make.

Sam peed in the pool at Tina's party at least 12 times. I think it got above that later on Saturday night, but that's not the point. He was doing his best to make everyone else pee too, and having a rough go of it. At one point, he came over to me and, in all seriousness, said "There's nothing wrong with peeing in the pool. It's easy. I'll show you. We can go in the corner and hold hands and pee."

And at that exact moment I was struck with the idea for a man record: A criminal record for manliness. Basically, a permanent record, maintained on the blog, into which everybody's less-than-manly actions are entered. I'm open to expanding the definition to include degrees of violation (felony, misdemeanor etc).

Anyone can enter anything onto anybody else's man record with the understanding that, if a majority of us disagree, the ruling is overturned.

With that said, who opposes adopting the man record and making Sam's "Piss with me" statement the inaugural offense?

As 613's unofficial pool expert, I can say that peeing in the pool is both gross and unsanitary. I second the Man Record motion.

I am with Pool Man (or dare I say Pooly?)

I third the motion

While you all know I have a huge problem with peeing in the pool, that is not the reason I agree with this man record. It's not even the peeing together, that is fine. But holding hands while peeing. You're better than that.

'Aye' to the first offense

I love the first sentence of the second paragraph... because I read "Sam peed in the pool" and I'm already thinking to myself "ewww, good god Sam", but then I scan over the last four words of the sentence, "at least 12 times"... and I'm just speechless

i don't think there's any question about whether sam peed in the hot tub. the only question is how many times

Monkey's pee to mark their territory.

Jacoby Ellsbury said...

ok, all justifiable reactions...but the reason for the man citation was not the peeing in the pool, otherwise a whole lot of us would be guilty, myself included.

the citation was for the 'hold your hand' comment.

because, marking your territory in the pool is totally fine, but holding another guy's hand while you do it, well, that's a little bit brokeback.
