I hope this one wins me a man-card.

Just a forewarning: This may be a very obnoxious post to some. To others of the ADHD sort, it may be one of the most fun interactive posts you will ever experience.
The point of this post is to treat it as an obnoxious child would treat their obnoxious children's books with the noise-making buttons. You know the sort, where the stories are short and sweet and oftentimes stupid but also very amusing to the young (and young at heart)... where some of the words are replaced with pictures that match pictures on the buttons on the side of the book, and you are intended to push the button at the moment that the book tells you to? Alright, I'll shut up, enjoy

This is the manliest sound you may ever hear.

If you're completely lost, head on over to Youtube and search for the Old Spice commercials. Unless of course you have stupid internet that blocks Youtube and Tumblr because of porn, like ours does. Seriously? Porn? You would really have to go out of your way to find porn on Youtube and Tumblr. Anywho, where was I? Oh yes. Old Spice.
Grant's roommate Scott sports this little jingle as his ringtone. We'll all just be hanging out, talking about who knows what, then suddenly you'll hear:

It's gotten to the point where it's hardly noticed anymore, except by the subconscious minds of the individuals in the room. People will walk in and out of the room whistling this jingle.
The new rule is, however, that if the jingle plays during a period of silence, the last phrase that was said is automatically deemed "manly."
I mean, you could say something like,


And then Scott will get a text message.

...It tends to be quite humorous. Scott, in all of his generosity, shared this splendid treasure of a ringtone with me so I, too, may enjoy the benefits of having it.
The manly rule also applies to manly situations.
For instance, just today I received a text message that read:


...And just as I finished reading the above text message I hear:

Sometimes it applies to situations where no words whatsoever are necessary.
Like when you look up and you see your friend doing this...

Or when you're in class and you hear this...

Or when it's only you and your fifteen-year-old brother at home and you walk into your empty living room to find TiVo paused on this...

...at which moment most normal people would begin to laugh uncontrollably.
...Well, if normal is defined as me, Grant, and his roommates Scott, Ethan and Matt.
Well, sometimes Ethan.
