Manity: Possessing and/or exuding the quality of manliness.

Welcome Gentlemen and Ladies, to this episode of the Drunken Poet.  Today I want to address something that has been bothering me for many long years.  The role of the Man.  Not the ridiculous "Man" that Commies like Sand Vagina believe in.  I mean the Man's man. Clint Eastwood meets John Wayne kick ass, take names, and slap the hot waitress on the ass type man.  What happened to us?  We've been so destroyed by society into recognizing our feelings, and falling down over emotions and politeness that we've lost our natural disposition of burley, uncouth, conquering soldiers that live life by Testosterone and Balls alone.  In case you're unsure... testosterone is what makes us men. Look that shit up, science has my back.

Also, I failed to make note of it, I will be starting a new feature on the Blog, at the end of every post I'll be posting a drink of the day/post type thing. My gift to you, my alcohol swilling brethren.  Below the elusive break, you'll find your way into a world of tanks, planes, and flame.  To witness some of the most awesome and awe-inspiring man stories ever, hit the break, and read up.  Opinions and words after all, are for chicks.

It's The End of the World...

You know the song. It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.  What an amazing thing to say, when the world is being gripped with the impending 2012 apocalypse, when the world is seemingly doing everything it can to explode itself up, with only a small amount of help from us, the average human being.

To celebrate the impending doom of our world, I bring you two really cool videos I've found this year.  What are they of? The insane amount of earthquakes this year that are after all, completely explainable.  Nope, we're talking molten fury being spewed into the air, causing havoc on air travel the world round, and a freakish hailstorm in the American Midwest.  Check the jump to see the videos.

Geek Pride Day: Celebrate it.

My friends over at Geekologie pointed out a very important fact to me today. It's the Day of Days.  That magical day where the meek rise up, and beat their opressors with lightsaber toys. The day where we stand proud, wince at the straightening of our emaciated spinal cords, and shout "WE ARE GEEK!!"... or we do none of those things and simply use this day as another excuse to play video games and eat cheesey poofs.  Whatever works.  (Source)

In order to celebrate this today, I've selected a few of my more favourite things from the internet to share with you, after the break.

Marketing is so Cool...

Here's the deal folks. There are times when commercials, and advertisements are so up in your face, that they drive you absolutely nuts.  There are times when if you see another advertisement featuring animated budgies flapping under a mans underarms, you think you may actually shoot someone.  The Chud for example, wrote off a certain Sandwich store due to an advertising campaign.

But there's the opposite end of that problem, when sometimes you see something that is so bloody cool, you actually want to go out and buy the product immediately, you want to rush out and spend your hard earned money on no more evidence than a cool advertisement.  Which is why I want to fly on KLM.

Click after the jump for two such advertising campaigns that set my wallet on fire.

Random Insanity of the Day

Well, got the random rant out of my brain. Now to bring everyone to the true reason I started this blog.  Beyond it acting as a soap box to vent my frustrations at the world and pretend people listen to me.  To post about cool shit and share it with anyone who's actually listening.  I give a lot of credit for this idea of my blog to Happy Party, a friend of mine from back in my University days.  She maintains a Picture album on the Facebook of all the things that make her happy, and it's a spectacular album, filled up with crazy things that always make me laugh, smile, or howl in laughter.

First topic: Hot Nerdy chicks.  I'm a nerd, I'm a nerd who loves sports, but more than anything, I'm a nerd.  The logo I've created in the top right corner is an amalgum of The Squadron Crest for Rogue Squadron, and Manchester United.  That's how nerdy I am.  Thus, when I repost this picture, you'll understand why this is so amazingly sexy to a man like me.  As a nerd, we most often believe that there are no sufficiently nerdy chicks to keep up with our nerdiness.
