I know I just did a meme, but this one looks too fun to pass up. It helps me feel more secure in my masculinity.
Stolen from MikeSays, who stole it from UrSpo.
You copy the list and bold the ones you can do.
- Change a flat tire - It's been a while, but I can do it.
- Tie a bow tie
- Carve a turkey
- Open a bottle of champagne - How else can I drink it?
- Change the oil in a car – Have changed Manny's oil.
- If asked, you know the name of a good barber – by "barber" does that include the fabulous stylist at my salon? His name is John and he's adorable.
- Have a tailor who knows your measurements
- Tie a bowline, clove hitch, and a square knot – Learned the bowline, but forget now how to tie it. I know the others, though.
- Chop wood – Not well, but I can if necessary.
- Shoot a rifle – Pretty well, last time I did.
- Make a dry martini – Clueless. I can do a good Rum and Pepsi, though!
- Keep a checkbook balanced – With debit cards and online banking it isn't the same. It's been a while, but I've done it.
- BBQ
- Lay a fire – Quite well, if I say so myself
- Change a fuse
- Polish shoes
- Have the ability to read stock quotes in the business section
- Keep score at a baseball game – I can't judge errors, though.
- Jump-start a car – Have I mentioned Manny? I need to do this sometimes in order to drive Manny. I've also had to jumpstart the cars of my teenagers.
- Know how to throw a punch
- Own a tuxedo – Never had the need, don't expect to.
- Know how to judge a new wine
- Do your own taxes at least once in your life – Does the 1040-EZ count? Probably couldn't do my taxes now, but I could before my finances got so complicated.
- Know how to play poker
- Carry a handkerchief

Oh I like that meme I can do a lot of those things too. I don't know how to judge a wine either. I have no idea what make a good wine.
this makes you either a warrior queen or a closet dyke or from Michigan
But most of these will get my hands dirty! ;P
I usually don't drink wine and never had a martini so I know zip about them! No tux either... although I would like one.
I'd say I could do about half of those.
You're a lady! You did better than me.
Do you know I cant open a bottle of champagne to save my life! I am such a wimp! lol
I KNEW The Lesbian Sage would know how to do more of these things than I could. I hang my head in shame.

Let's see...
I can change a tire, chop wood, balance a checkbook, shoot a rifle, change a fuse, and jump-start a car.
I could probably do a half-assed attempt at carving a turkey, polishing shoes, an making a martini.
the rest of it? fuggeddaboutit
Boy Grows Up here -- You're more man than me, honey, and I mean that in the best way. Although I DO know how to throw a punch, being an ornery brat growing up. And a Jewish college roomie taught me how to tie a bowtie, which was a feat I never thought possible.
Let me help you remember about the bowline: the rabbit comes out of the hole, goes around the tree, and back in the hole again.
Remember now?
Ok, first of all this assumes that I WANT to be a gentleman. Secondly, this list is like how to be a gentleman back in the 1950's.
Tie a bowtie? Change oil? Balance a checkbook???
Who DOES these things anymore!
You and I are coming up pretty equal. I'm going to post this it's fun!
