Viva Manuary!
Dec 22, 2009
I learned of this annual tradition a couple nights ago from some friends we bumped into at the grocery store. Here's what Urban Dictionary has to say on the subject:
Manuary:
The month of January, whereby men partake in a month long celebration of masculinity with activities enshrining masculinity: Unadulterated violence, booze, meat, and chivalry. Exact reasons for this are unknown, yet theories have arose as it being in response to the high stress nature of the holiday season, thereby men resorting to mantastic* facial hair to compensate for seeing their in-laws.
The growing of facial hair in a full out bearded style, to represent the rejection of aesthetics.
The consumption of meat and/or beer (bonus points for both) with/as every meal.
The masculine duty of protecting women in need.
Partaking/instigating fist fights with those who are deemed combat able. Combatants include: Douche bags, consenting MEN, and Douche bags. No hair pulling, biting, or other feminine behaviours are acceptable.
Other masculine behaviour. All acts must be witnessed by fellow MEN partaking in MANUARY.
Girl: "Why did you get in a fist fight with that greasy guy grinding on every girl in sight?"
MAN: "Because he was a douche and it's MANUARY"
Girl: "Why don't you have some salad?"
MAN: "It's MANUARY"
Boy: "By golly! She looks like she'd be easy, and she has cute friends!"
MAN: *Left Hook* "It's MANUARY. Hello ladies, how is your evening?"
*It's MANtastic! Almost as good as good as the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year Award.
