Many moons ago, two of my buddies and I started a “man points” scale. At the time, I scored fairly consistently in the middle of the man scale. I wasn’t the most manly of the 3, we all agreed, but I wasn’t the least manly either. I was who I was and I remained within a 1 point deviation of my mean manliness throughout the duration of the scale. We all agreed the man scale was accurate and reliable. Then I met her. I had the usual early relationship love-sickness, sure. That was bound to cost me points and this was expected. I said a couple of dumb things, this cost me more points. The dog was an automatic two point deduction. Buying the ring represented a negative 3 points… It goes on and on, but the summary is that I’ve caused a change in the format of the chart. I’ve forced us to explore negative territory on the chart’s scale. I also wonder how many points would be deducted if one of my cohorts was to see that we purchased the flower covered wedding budget book. The man scale isn’t so funny anymore.
I do an original thing. Trying to formulate a different genre of sorts. Here's a link to my site. www.jacekseavers.com My last recording is before I started using only Drums, Bass and Sax. Sort of like the group Morphine. My comps are more swing based though. I sing as well. I'm currently writing a musical based on an original theme called "Throwing Stones At The Sun". It's a comedy about the absurdity of faith, taking place during the Spanish Inquisition. It's a lot of work but I'm enjoying it. I'm hoping to have it play off Broadway in a year or two.You?As a Bass player, you must well aware of the fact that the Bass player always gets the girl! Doubly so when you play upright.
And yes, bass players are always the ones that get the girls, free drinks, party invites and all the "perks"... especially when you double as a frontman.
Hey Marz,Here is a link to a Texas based Bluegrass band that cover Beatle songs. Great stuff!! http://www.beatlegras.com/Max
I think cloggs are a good one for the negative points!

Man bag? MAN BAG?You mean purse? or murse?That is a deduction around my friends unless it is a backpack and you have not or will not see your your home for at least 36 hours.Dancing is a deduction (even if your partner leaves the dampness behind? ) and riverdancing is a positive?I dunno, maybe we give out man points a little different in these parts.

Purse, murse, you've got to be kidding, Marz! I wouldn't be caught dead with one of those things. There was a minus "-" next to gain man points.Man points are man points. Doesn't matter where your from. Someone please explain this? ....Is that a murse?

I agree with Ben, it's a duffle bag, albeit an effeminate one! You guys, (excepting Schroman) should lose all points in this imaginary game just for debating it, lol. Rafter, get with it; no one needs points to be a man, you should be confident enough in yourself to know it. Sounds like something you took with you from your frat days, bro. Time to grow up!
