The great thing about this forum is that while we are all different, we get along with each other and have a lot more in common than our love of being sly. So, here's a topic for discussion: Every Man Should...
I'll start with a few and ask you to add your thoughts.
1. Experience a shaved head at least once in his life
2. Know how to drive a stick shift
3. Have a signature dish, e.g., chili, ribs, anything that he makes better than anyone else - SlyBear's got this one covered!
4. Have a favorite team (any sport is okay)
Okay - your thoughts?
-
5. Grow a beard in some shape or form....even if he never shaves his head
6. Visit at least one country on a continent other than his own
7. Exercise once a week
8. Attend a game of his favorite sport...no matter what the cost.
-
9. Be able to sing all the words to his favourite song... In the shower
10. Have a gnarly injury at some point
11. Be able to admit fault
-
12. Be able to cook a BBQ.
13. Enjoy a good beer.
14. Be able to take what ever he dishes out.
15. Have at least one crazy/unbelievable true story that happened to them.
They are pretty much the golden rules for any Aussie bloke

The idea of this thread is "should," and if you haven't tried something--expand your vistas, remember we're always telling guys to "try Sly" aren't we? :/O If having tried it and you don't like something, fine, but at least give it a shot.
Jonathan Swift is credited with saying, "He was a bold man that first ate an oyster!" I've known many people who have to come to South Louisiana, Raw Oyster Virgins, and granted many had to take some "Dutch Courage" before their first one, but having downed that first salty, juicy and raw bivalve became addicted. They are just that good.
As for escargots, i.e. snails, or caracoles in Spanish, again try them, at least try. They are really good too. I have always associated the Spanish version with the Rambla in Barcelona, wonderful.

Go to Mardi Gras at least once.

I hear you, but "should" does not equal "must". Personally, no amount of logic will ever get me to try things like snails and oysters. :XX I sleep easy at night knowing I'll never eat them. That's just me, though! :D

Every man should....
...see the Olympic torch in London's Trafalgar Square.
(sorry sly guys, London Olympics are now at fever pitch here)

Reach out to help a stranger.
I was walking into a store last week and an older woman was trying to put a wheelchair into their car as her husband who before I got there just got out and was in the passenger seat. They were both very grateful for me stopping to help. I can tell you there were MANY that passed by while she struggled and offered no help. That wheel chair was really heavy too and she told me her husband was confined to it the day before so this was their first trip out with it.

I hear you there BaldHd, I've lost count of the number of times I've seen others just ignore a broken down vehicle, including my own at times. Even if nothing can be done, it makes a difference.

Nice story, thanks for sharing!....Slyfive, you're right.....the world would be a better place if we all just took a little time.....

Go to Mardi Gras at least once.
Along the same lines ... attend the Indy 500 at least once. The tradition and debauchery are beyond words and are unforgettable.

And so many are so very simple - like reaching for something on the top shelf which is beyond the grasp of a shorter (and often older) person. Or letting someone go ahead of you in the checkout line if they've only got a few items.
Both of those gestures were so common when I was young and I rarely see them now, except when performed by someone of "my generation." Kind of disappointing at times.
And it can give the "do gooder" such a warm feeling inside that lingers quite a while.

Helping others and being polite seem to be fading into oblivion. I am amazed at how few people look behind themselves to see if someone is following them through a door. I was taught to make sure to hold the door for the person behind you. Even more amazing is how few people say thank you when you hold the door for them!
Regarding oysters and snails, I like both. If you don't try new things, you never know what you might be missing!

Well said. Manners really do cost nothing.
