The ALL NEW Man Law Thread

[Valmore]

As a man, unless you are a professional and are being paid to do it, you are not allowed to sing in the audience of anyone. By yourself in the car or shower - fine. Karaoke? Hell no. If you get sloshed and sing "Don't Stop Believin'" at a karaoke bar, your friends have the right to record it and humiliate you for it every chance they get.

man law: if you're going to eat over a buddies house your ass better repay him within a six-week period and no fast food doesn't count unless it's pizza. :)

Man law: when a buddy helps you move, you supply pizza and booze.

And you better have everything packed when he gets there.

Is this really a man law? I mean, if anyone is helping you move and you're not paying them, buying food for them is generally the least you could do.

Believe it or not, there are people out there who don't know.

There are plenty of those who forget that your buddy is doing you a favor, using his free time to help you lift heavy boxes and take them elsewhere to lift them again.

If you don't offer more than a soda, you're a BAD friend.

[Grazzt]

Yeah, but I don't think it applies solely to men or to buddies, so I don't know if it counts as a man law. Like, when my family moved when I was younger there was an aunt and uncle helping us out and we bought them food, too. Its not a strictly guy thing, like urinal rules.

I always took it a step further and only asked buddies to help me move big pieces of furniture that couldn't be taken apart & appliances. Any boxes I'll move myself.

You're also not allowed to ask someone to help you move twice within a 5-year period.

Nah, some of us like to have fun when we go out. And there's no reason you can't rock at Karaoke. You should have seen Joe Rice do "Paint it Black".

Man Law: You can't make cracks about your buddy not getting laid if you get less than they do.

Man Law: If your girlfriend (or wife) makes a serious effort of making you a nice dinner (full meal kind of thing), at least offer to help with the dishes - even if it's just loading them into the dishwaser.

Unless you've helped them move within that time frame.

I motion that this law be repealed.

Motion seconded. Man laws are about and between men. Wives and girlfriends are afforded no rights and/or benefits under manlaws. They can only be treated as objects in manlaws.

For example:

When you best buddy breaks up with his girlfriend, it is not okay to nail her six hours, six days, six months or six years later. You can't nail her...period.

[StoneGold]

I can't claim to have come up with these, but they still hold true today.


1. It's okay to call hooters "knockers" and sometimes "snack trays."
2. It is wrong to be French.
3. It's okay to put all bad people in a giant meat grinder.
4. Lawyers: see rule three.
5. It is okay to drive a gas guzzler if it helps you get babes.
6. Everyone should car pool but me.
7. Bring back the word "stewardesses"
8. Synchronized Swimming is not a sport.
9. Mudwrestling is a sport.
