If you have something to add to anything I write, feel free to state such. How am I to get any better if I don't know what I'm doing wrong? It's a work in progress, my ability to spin a decent yarn, and to grow I must be willing to learn. Fighting Style: Muay Thai Kickboxing/Boxing/Freestyle Wrestling/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Personal Hero: Forrest Griffin (He's just a former cop that learned how to fight in college and now he makes bank in the UFC. That is some inspirational stuff. it motivates me, that and he's cool as all hell.) Congrats on that Hall of Fame Forrest... though I sincerely doubt you'll ever see this or care. I consider this profile page as an extension to try and entertain, and thus I will use it as such. If you came here you must have seen something interesting enough to try and come here to begin with, so hopefully this kills some time for you. My ego grows once more with my regular inclusion on a weekly podcast panel! Fandom Flux Podcast! Oh yeah! Listen to a gaggle of fanfiction-writing fools try to make some entertaining audio! We've got a Youtube page for all of the stuff, at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrK71UzTdgkSuIEv-oMjAgw/videos. If you've got something that you want us to talk about on the show or a question that I/we may or may not be able to answer, you can send me a message, or send one to the comments on the Fandom Flux site for us to check out. Random Thoughts From Me: - To anyone that actually cares or possesses one, I have a PS3 and my PSN name is the exact same as my name here, so... yeah. - I cannot for the life of me remember what the fuck inspired me to first come to this site in November of 2009, but I do remember why I first started writing. Because I read stuff that made me say, "I can do something just as good as that or better." And two months of saying that made me realize I needed to stop talking shit and actually put up or shut up. One entire year later I have a story with 3000 reviews and two more on the cusp of breaking 1000. Because I'm Kenchi Strife and I'm AWESOME!!!! (I'm not really that awesome, I am just incredibly productive and have extreme flashes of arrogance.) - Whenever most people get asked, "What bloodline from Naruto would you want if you could have it?" Most people would say Sharingan, or Rinnengan, or Shikotsumyaku (My second choice actually). But if I had to choose I would pick the Byakugan. This stems from my own personal fear, I fear nothing physical, it's more of a theoretical fear; things that I cannot see. This goes as far as me looking around randomly while in the midst of doing nothing, even in my own house. I hate, hate, hate, FUCKING HATE not being able to see things coming, I fucking hate the fact that I can only see in a 45 degree radius, I hate everything that is behind me and out of my field of vision, everything, with no exceptions. If I was given the option to get three punches in the face that I could see coming or one punch to the stomach blindfolded I would take the punches to the face. I don't care what it is, seeing things unfold in front of me, even if it's something that is going to hurt me allows me to calm myself by thinking logically, letting me run mental damage control and work out split-second solutions or at the very least brace for consequences, I even hate surprises. Thus why I would take the Byakugan. Seeing near 360 degrees and being able to basically see stuff from far away and through things would take the fear from me. - Why do I always see people that complain about texting fucking text themselves? - I hate Facebook or any other social networking device. If you're all like, "But Kenchi! It helps me meet people, and know so many hot girls on Facebook!" then I would say that you don't know them since you've never actually stood in front of them and had a conversation where the words 'lol' didn't fucking come up. I don't use Facebook as a fucking social crutch, I actually go out and meet friends of my friends and make them my friends, thus opening the door for more friends that I talk to and form my own social network, only it's with people that I actually have a good chance of seeing in person on a regular basis. Yeah, I know hot women too, and I actually know that I can tolerate their personalities and that they are receptive to flirting because I've held actual conversations with them and know them, thus when I earn the opportunity to see them with less than 100% of their clothing on I feel like I've done more than click a mouse to see their pictures on a web page. If I want to see that on a computer screen I'll just skip the middleman and look at porn. - Does anyone else think that Shao Kahn and Motaro from Mortal Kombat 3 were the most pain in the ass boss fights in video games? Because I still think about that shit all the time. 5 credits my ass... - The almond is the greatest brand of nut ever mass distributed for human consumption. - Why do bees always like to hover around the thing outside that you desperately need to pick up and use for just a second? - Yelling "Psycho Crusher" or "Sonic Boom" after doing anything in your life makes it 10 times better. - Neil Patrick Harris had the best role ever given to any human being on Earth when he had his parts in the Harold and Kumar movies. He was paid to be a random name of tall order from the past and ended up looking totally badass in the first movie. There was no logical reason for Doogie fucking Houser to look so awesome and yet he did. - The dropkick is the most entertaining form of attack known to regular people. Say that you see someone do a dropkick in real life and you weren't laughing your ass off after it happens. If you do then you are lying to yourself and to me. No matter what the target you find yourself laughing at it; a door, a porta-potty, a person... just as long as the person isn't you, then it's not funny anymore. - It has been scientifically tested and proven by others that when you pour beer or some other form of liquid on my face I will immediately wake up and place you in some form of Triangle Choke until you pass out. Fact. - I have respect for Vanilla Ice for multiple reasons. First of all he was a white rapper that actually had a number one hit back when having a hit in hip-hop actually meant something. Second of all I defy you to put on "Ice Ice Baby" right now and not have some kind of positive physical reaction to listening to it because regardless of whatever misgivings you may have even in 2010 that shit still cranks, now that is staying power. Third of all, and probably most important, people still know who this guy is, 20 years after the fact! Whenever any white rapper comes out he is always compared to two rappers; Eminem and Vanilla 'fucking' Ice. Now granted it is usually at opposite ends of the spectrum, but all I can say is that the man did more than I've ever done in my life. -...My name is Kenchi618 an I have an addiction. I am addicted to fanfiction *cries softly*. I started reading this shit in November of 2009 and now I come to this site every damn day. And just like an addiction I have to read something everyday or I get seriously cranky. It utterly pisses me off when nothing is posted that entertains me in one, two, three days. So much so that I have to write my own shit to calm myself down. For those of you aware of my usual update speed this is why; because when there's nothing to read, I write so maybe I can inspire someone to get off of their ass (or on their ass in this case) and write something that tickles my soul. It has been failing miserably thus far... The fact that people actually like what I do is a complete by-product of this addiction, but I ain't complaining. - I AM AWESOME!!! As of December 5th, 2010 I have achieved eternal greatness! In a submission grappling contest I defeated a state-level wrestler... BLINDFOLDED! As in no vision... as in sans visual orbs, i.e. my eyes. GET ON MY LEVEL!!!! God that was the greatest 5 bucks I've ever won off of anyone ever! - All I do is win! Woo! I am officially Log Pope baby! Having achieved the minimum of 400 reviews in a story that routinely praises the awesome of the log (Naruto: Soldiers of Fortune) I have painstakenly achieved the most pimptacular powers of Log Pope the hard way. Yes friends, Kenchi618 is your new pope, here to lead your congregation of the log, because the pope is pimping!!! - Let me specify this immediately: I DO NOT hate the Sasuke Uchiha character. Actually that is false. I hate him now. I didn't when the Naruto series started. When the series started Sasuke proved worth to me as a bad-ass anti-hero. He had a cool attitude, his dialogue didn't suck, he had a hell of a backstory, he had his moments of pure win, and he was never placed as seeming more important than the main character himself. He was cool. And he remained cool right up until he defected... actually he was still cool to me when he defected. I loved the concept, abso-fucking-lutely I did. No, he stayed cool. He stayed cool upon his reintroduction, he stayed cool when he toasted Orochimaru's sick and dying ass and then bitched out Kabuto, he stayed cool when he got his own team (which had Suigetsu in it who is super fucking cool), he stayed cool when he beat Deidara's ass, and he stayed cool while he was fighting Itachi, and that fight was pretty much the epitome of bad-ass. And then Kishimoto took his character which had bordered on the slippery slope of emo-cutter status since his inception and pushed his ass down that cliff in a goddamn wheelbarrow. Now he's whiny, sounds like he's going to cry crocodile tears everytime he brings up Itachi or how his clan was wronged and blah, blah, blah (He's working with Madara. Wouldn't common deduction skills point towards him trying to gut Madara like a trout since he was the one that kind of started it?), and he gets a power-up every five chapters (I'm probably exaggerating but you get the point) that each seem like the equivalent of Naruto's Sage Mode which was the only power-up he received for like 50 chapters at one point. So yeah, don't blame Sasuke for being the reason you hate him, blame Kishimoto. He made the number two guy in the series, a guy who was actually really cool, a total tool. ...and the dialogue he constantly gives Naruto about Sasuke when the topic comes up is simply adding fuel to the fire for the yaoi writers which does not help his case of me hating him by any stretch of the imagination. - The Metal Gear video game series by Hideo Kojima is the absolute best series of video games in the world. Period. If you disagree with me I don't need to meet you or even know your name or face, because if I did I would challenge you to a street fight with taped fists covered in glue and dipped in broken glass, because I want to destroy you. As a man there has been only one time that I have ever been moved to tears, and I have no problems saying this because I am more than confident enough in my own masculinity to admit this... After playing all of the games, from Metal Gear to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in order, back to back, and beating them all, I played Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots from start to finish and by the time the final credits hit I was physically holding back tears because the story and the gameplay was so awesome. That's some intense shit right there. And they were manly tears... the manliest... Anyway, I think you get the point by now. - Do not take yourself too seriously. There are billions of people in the world. If 200 people think you suck then that's no big deal... of course if they all come out, can get into contact with you, and say it at the exact same time about the exact same thing then there might be a problem there. Looking into the reason for that might not be such a bad idea. - Getting shot is not that bad from personal experience (at least by a 9mm). I mean, after the first five minutes as long as it isn't fatal because the guy who did it can't aim for shit you don't even care anymore. One shot through the side of my torso and then one through my knee had me sitting outside of a friend's house by myself for 30 minutes waiting on an ambulance... and I was more bored than in agony as long as I kept still. Now I've got cool scars and an asinine story to tell for the rest of my life. All it took was one weird guy shooting me because I jumped his fence to get a basketball back. Fair trade. - After thinking about this legitimately for the last hour I can with confidence say that every single relevant sport that has ever been created is a substitute for fighting. My reasons for believing such: Athleticism is originally measured by the physical abilities of a person... physical abilities that are also used to measure how well a person would survive... fighting was originally done to survive and for no other reason. Another reason: Whenever good atheletes go immediately for the victory at the first opportunity it is called killer instinct... killer instinct. Huh. Yet ANOTHER reason: One of the top 3 most popular sports in the U.S. is american football... a game where by definition 250 pound grown adults more or less run into each other as hard as they can in an effort to throw one particular poor bastard to the ground. I could keep going for another five paragraphs but I'll leave it with one more point. When tensions rise and the testosterone flows in any of these sports (even NASCAR dude) how is anything settled between particular participants? Trying to outdo the person on the court, field, or whatever isn't enough. Victory is not enough... No, they have to fight because they're pissed. Fighting is a legal and recognized part of hockey... and how many people get headbutted in faceoffs between rival players in soccer yearly? ...and MMA isn't legalized in the state of New York... sigh* - MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge), an old show that used to be on Spike TV, is one of the greatest shows that I have ever seen in my entire life. I wish it still came on, even if they're just reruns. I've never consistently laughed so hard on a show-to-show basis watching anything else in my life, period. Bring back Kenny and Vic. MXC for life. - Every time I meet a new person I figure out how I'm going to fight them. That's weird right? I know it can't be normal. - I don't have any shame apparently. I figured that out last Saturday night. It turns out that where my shame gland should be there is only a gland that produces more awesome. It turns out that this is my secondary awesome gland where most people only have one. This explains everything!!! - It is complete hindsight now, but in my honest belief that Kishimoto should have saved the Naruto vs. Pain battle for last. He should have held off and ended the series with it. Because in my opinion it was perfect. I saw absolutely nothing wrong with that battle, the circumstances surrounding it, nothing. It was the height of the whole series, and ever since it went down nothing that's happened has been nearly as good. It might have been the one-two punch of doing Sasuke vs. Itachi and then moving straight into the attack on Konoha, but it did the trick. If he would have just pushed it to the end and did some other things in between, like Sasuke's whole descent into the dark after fighting Itachi and his subsequent revenge on Konoha kick. If he'd put all of that in there and wrapped it up before pulling Pain out to fight Naruto in the village... it would have been for the best. He could have kept the crux of everything important that he'd wanted to do and did afterwards. That's cool. But he should have put it before the Pain fight. Most importantly because after it was over... how do you rightfully top it? He had to make sure the villains were threatening afterwards which resulted in the problem with the power-scales now, because he had to make them more imposing than Pain, the guy that blew the village to hell with one move. Then we had everybody popping up with Rinnegan eyes, an army of the undead, zombie Madara that can call down meteors, and now the Juubi doesn't even seem worth it when it comes to strength after seeing all of that, nuclear howitzer of a Bijudama or not. Until that point nothing had even come close to doing that kind of damage, and now if it doesn't happen any character worth any value can just no-sell it and keep going. And that's just the fighting portion of it. Emotionally, that was the height of the series. He could have caught that, kept it in a bottle while he tied up the other loose ends to prepare for the end like with Kisame and Tobi/Obito's parts, done whatever he had to do to make Naruto's power growth come full-circle to his liking while keeping him involved since he was still strong enough at the time to take part in the other aforementioned situations without vanishing for dozens of chapters at a time, and ended it all with Naruto vs. Pein with a neat little bow, because nothing since then has felt as dramatic. And it would have had the whole story sewn up well before Chapter 600. Just one man's opinion. - Regular Show is the best cartoon I've seen in years. It's like J.G. Quintel is in my head and animating it for the world to see and enjoy. If you haven't seen this show you're doing yourself a disservice. - Cat litter can be used to blind people while fighting. I did not know that. I had to copy this when I saw it... Honorary Member of The Book of Log.

Excerpt of the log number 124: when using the log to escape a fire jutsu, it is konoha custom to write an apology letter to the log, and depending on rank of jutsu escaped from depicts how many words are needed. c-rank, two thousand, B-rank, one thousand five hundred, a-rank, one thousand. only S-rank and higher or excused from the writing of the letter. even then, it is still reccommended. Log excerpt number 231: if konoha shinobi celebrate the holiday of Christmas, then it is required that they put gifts under the Christmas log. Use of a full tree is an insult to the log and if found out that shinobi is uneligible from using the log for a period of two months. Log excerpt number 437: Use of the log in a situation that clearly could be avoided using a variety of other methods or techniques is looked down upon.

If 'and the willow sayeth unto the ninja: wherefore dost i weep? 'tis tears of joy, as thy kin and mine together fell thine foes, who would bring the axe and torch to the wood. the log ist thine ally, and mine kin. calling upon the log, is to call upon me. to aid thee in battle, i weep my tear of joy. 'as the log takes your place, you become the log. the log becomes you. for a moment, you are an extension of the logs blessing unto ninja.' 'you are fools! your log is but a mockery of the power of ninja!- the ninja from the desert declared. and the people shook their heads. 'and as the smoke cleared, his foe stared in awe at the log. blackened and charred, the log crumbled. the ninja, filled with righteous wrath, fell upon his foe and slew him. he made his way to the log, and wept. his companion, the log that had accompanied him through so many battles, was no more. he spoke thus to his fallen companion: though now you have fallen in battle, you rest where the logs forever grow. the forest of life called for you, and you answered its call, as you did mine. i thank you my friend.' 'he despaired, for in this place of stone and earth, there was no logs to be found. reaching out with all his might, he begged for a log in the forsaken wasteland. and he was answered, and saved by the log, in a place where there were none. 'the log took his place and fell, forever into the abyss. the people, hearing of this, railed against him, in such numbers he swore to never endanger another log again. for many years, he fought without the log, growing more and more weary with each passing day. finally, he came across a foe that was too strong for him. as his life was about to end, he felt a familiar pull, and found himself out of harms way, seeing a log in his place. his stunned foe was felled in his stupor, and he approached the log, he knew it, for it was the same that fell so long ago. he asked of the log: why did you endanger yourself for me again? have you not done enough for me? and the log spoke: it is my duty, and our bond. we exist to save the ninja, and they exist to save the trees. we both play a part, for which i am content.' Let it be known that it is absolutely forbidden to willingly perform the technique known as "1000 years of death" on a log. It is also equally frowned upon for one to replace oneself with a holy log for the purpose of avoiding said technique. The punishment for such actions is at least 6 months of banishment from the use of the holy log. Kenchi618's Rules of Naruto Fanfiction 1. Naruto must know some kind of replication technique, preferably the tried and true Kage Bunshin technique. Why you ask? Because it wouldn't be Naruto without three dozen blonde kids running amok on a regular basis. 2. Being a smart-ass is recommended. He doesn't necessarily have to be smart, but his mouth should be. Naruto, in essence, is a hot-head with no tact that shoots his mouth off and pisses off the wrong people, invariably drawing them into his world, for better or for worse. Since the story will probably revolve around him ANYWAY, you might as well make it so that what he has to say is hella entertaining, it makes the whole experience much better. 3. He must have some kind of weakness, even in the super-fics. Who wants to see good things happen all the time? If nothing but good things go on, then the good will become watered down and not very significant at all. He needs to be able to be beaten somehow, someway there has to be something about him that enemies can take advantage of. Naruto's the underdog, that's his appeal and that is why he is beloved. Haven't you people ever seen Rudy!? 4. Pissing off your readers is a double-edged sword. If it's a damn good cliffhanger, or something that sets up an antagonist for future comeuppance then great, fire away! As long as the pay-off is well worth it then that is what the creative process is all about. However, if you just delight in butchering whatever integrity the original storyline had and the amount of flames you get is equal to 1/4 of your entire review count then there is something seriously wrong. 5. NO FREAKIN' YAOI!! None! ...In any of my stories at least. Do what you want. Now I'm not homophobic, I'm actually very chill with gay people, one of the coolest guys I know is gay, to each their own I always say. But I will not fucking read anything that even has the possibility of dude-on-dude action, fuck that shit. People go overboard with it, as with regular lemon stories as well, I'll be equal opportunity here. Remember: Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, and just because you should do something doesn't mean you will. It also doesn't help that a large bulk of them have shit for grammar, spelling, and just being overall basically decent stories in general. -The yaoi aspect in my respects can be overlooked if the story is good and it is not the central focus and entire point of the story... i.e. the entire reason for the story is to write about dudes boning. However that is pretty much never the case. You ain't making it 3000 words without finding someone getting poked in the chops in most of these things. 6. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. If you want reviews then fucking review on the stories of others. If you like a story, tell the writer what you like. If you don't like it, tell them what you don't like or you think could be improved. It's common courtesy damn it! A decent review takes one minute max, because you have an well thought out opinion by the time you finish reading, so share the love. 7. Grammar and punctuation are actually very fucking important. If I read a story that I could've written better in the third grade then that is a problem. It really takes away from the story, it truly does. You can have a kick-ass premise and a great plot all set out, if you type a like second grade remedial English student then I won't read it damn it. Come on! You go through thirteen years of public school and learn how to write properly for a reason, because shitty writing pisses people off! No text writing either. Slang is okay, as long it is coherent and most know what the fuck it means then by all means go forth. Even good grammar and spelling in your story summary can be the difference between hits and reviews, trust me. 8. Bashing is okay... to an extent. If the entire point of your story is to just shit all over certain characters and make another look like God's gift to the world then you can do that, but you won't be getting many thumbs up for your masterful storytelling. Be justifiable and flexible on your bashing, because just like in real life, things can change easily. 9. Listen to the people. Yes, it is your story, that's cool. And in the end whatever happens is up to you. I'm not saying let them plan out the plot or anything, although if you're lazy then go for it. I'm saying that if enough people say something, like a certain thing sucks, or they talk about something that you didn't or can't explain, address it and/or try to fix it. If you are anything like me then reader response is like crack. Showing you don't care is basically saying 'fuck this story' and that will not end well. 10. OC's are not God! OC's cannot do everything! They can fix stuff, yes! They can train people up, yes! They can be potential pairings, again, yes! But OC's cannot fix everything. If the fucking Hokage can't make Naruto's life much better then how can some random guy from Jack-fuckistan come in one day and fix everything? He can improve on things, like Naruto's skill level, and his relationships with people, even his intelligence and standard of living, but a full-on upswing is IMPOSSIBLE for one person. That was more of a rant than anything... 11. Have extensive knowledge about the subject you are writing on. It really helps the quality of your work if you know what the hell you're writing about in the first place. For example, don't attempt crossovers if you don't have equal knowledge of all elements being used for the story. Either know what's going on, or have one hell of a reference tool at your disposal... as a matter of fact, you should have that at hand regardless because people tend to forget/overlook shit. These self-enacted rules are for me that I'll try to adhere to every time out. Now this can and probably will be manipulated over time being that I own this shit, however if anyone agrees with these than feel free to use it I guess.* Quotes of Greatness "There's only three real monsters, kid: Dracula, Blackula and Son of Kong.

Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (For those that do not understand you need to go to Youtube) "The thing you should be thinking about isn't whether or not I can actually kill you with the nail clippers, it should be the fact that whether I can or not is irrelevant. No matter if I can or not, you know full well that I'm going to try, and that more than anything else should scare the hell out of you for more than one reason and answer your question right there." Me - Taken verbatim from my younger brother questioning my sanity after pissing me off in my bedroom post-shower and I took to threatening him with aforementioned grooming device. "And that's the moral of the story. Some niggas need to go jail! I may be in hell, but at least I ain't in jail, nigga! (laughs maniacally)" Colonel H.

Caboose: "Hey Church, ever wonder why we're here?" Church: "You know, Caboose, I used to not care. I just went along with orders and hoped that everything would work out for me. But after all that has happened, you know what I learned? It's not about hating the guy on the other side because someone told you to. I mean, you should hate someone because they're an asshole, or pervert, or snob, or they're lazy, or arrogant, or an idiot, or a know-it-all. Those are reasons to dislike somebody. You don't hate a person because someone told you to. You have to learn to despise them on a personal level. Not because they're Red, or Blue, but because you know them, and you see them every single day, and you can't stand them because they are a complete and total fucking douchebag." Caboose: "...I meant why are we up here in the sun when we could be standing down there in the shade." Church: "Oh. Yeah, okay. Let's go stand in the shade." - Red vs. Blue "Yep, hand to hand combat is the old school way to kill your enemies. Killing a man with your bare hands says 'We're all equals as men except I'm slightly more equal because I'm still alive and your dead.' Of course dropping a nuke on them from 50 thousand feet is totally acceptable. I mean let's face it, there just not enough time in this world to show everybody the courtesy of a good strangling."

If you're not afraid to fail, man, you have a chance to succeed. But you're never gonna get there unless you risk it all the way. I was a failure. Sometimes, half the fun is failing.

Cats, man... not to be trusted." - Jensen - The Losers Man Law 1. No wasted beer in the name of humour. 2. It has been made official that under no circumstances should the male have to pay for birth control. 3. If your best friend is dumped by a girl it is a 6 month waiting period till she can be touched. If he breaks up with her it’s a 6 day waiting period. 4. If two or more males arrived at a party by a single car, and the driving male is hooking up with a girl, it is the responsibility of the other males to find other ways home. (The exception to this law is if the driver is hooking up with his own girlfriend, the law is then void and the driver still holds full responsibility of driving his friends home.) 5. Short-shorts have been banned… Unless in a participating in a sporting event that demands shorter shorts. Also no real man should be allowed to pop his collar. 6. Every man shall allow one empty urinal of separation in a bathroom with three or more urinals; law is void if there are dividers in between each urinal. 7. If a girl and a guy are not officially dating then it can't be considered cheating. However...if the guy cheats with a girl that is less attractive to the one he is originally interested in then he is either... A) Drunk or B) Dumbass. This then gives the original girl the right to either get mad or laugh at you. 8. No one should ever steal a man's alcohol from that man's cooler. This is the only law that suffers the penalty of death. 9. When bringing condoms to a party it is a man's responsibility to pack two in his pockets and one in his car as a spare in case a friend is in desperate need. 10. No heavy fornication in a friend's bed. Or just wash the sheets. 11. No man shall every use a rolling backpack. If you can't carry the bag then you’re not a man. 12. If another man's fly is down, you didn't see anything and may not make a comment about it. 13. When a man is borrowing a buddy's tool or other equipment, if the borrower puts any scratches or brings it back with any noticeable wear, then he is required to do one of the following: If the item costs under 50 bucks, you are required to replace it. If the item costs over 50 bucks, you are required to give him a case of beer, because hey... who wants to spend more than 50 bucks on something that isn't yours? 14. When your friend picks up a hot girl... however the hot girl has an ugly friend... it is only right that you operate as a wing man doing whatever it is you got to do to help your buddy have some time alone with the hot girl. As men we are obligated to sacrifice and pay it forward for each other knowing that the favor will one day be repaid. 15. When calling shotgun, all riders of the car must be outside, and shotgun can only be called when the car is in view. Riders in the car are not allowed to run to shotgun and steal it before the person who called and deserves it arrives there. The driver of the car has no authority to decide on who gets shotgun. If a legitimate confrontation comes up where the rightful owner of the shotgun can not be determined then it will be decided by one round of paper-rock-scissors (with no shoot). If the two contenders tie 5 times in a row then the rightful owner of the shotgun is to be decided by a UFC cage match in which the first blood drawn decides the rightful owner of shotgun. Addendum to Man Law No. 15: If at any point during the process of determining the shotgun rider a hot girl hints that she would like to sit up front the driver has the sole right to declare her the shotgun rider and depending upon the situation may even deny rides to all other passengers. However, if said hot girl is an ex of any passenger they may overrule the driver's decision and make her ride in the back. Additionally, if all passengers happen to be female then revert back to original method of deciding shotgun rider substituting mud wrestling for UFC cage match. The winner then gets either a cold water hose down or shotgun the next ride, unless the car is really shitty and the owner doesn’t care about muddy seats. 16. It is PAPER, ROCK, and SCISSORS with no shoot. If you must say shoot, it has to be agreed upon by both men and a witness has to be present and somewhat sober. 17. When toasting with beers you clank with the bottom. 18. You poke it you own it. 19. The head nod is an acceptable way to greet another guy when simply walking past. No words are needed to be said. An upward nod is for friends, a downward nod is for fellow men. 20. If a man is on vacation to a state that does not border his own, or any other country, it is not considered cheating if he so chooses to engage in sexual activity with a girl other than his girlfriend. Although he should be fully aware that his girlfriend may not see eye-to-eye if she was to ever find out. 21. A man should not masturbate more than 3 times in a day to ensure being ready for any unknown or known late night action. Assisting girls does not count… rule is an exception if male party is in a bet to set a record of number of times in a day. 22. A man shall never wear any article of women's clothing (I.E … Girls Jeans/Pants!) unless they are the loser of such a bet… or if a man is figuratively in a girl's pants… (Or any other article of clothing). 23. No man in any circumstance, unless mocking a violator of this law, should pop his collar. 24. A man should never be denied the right to adjust himself or place his hands down his pants under any circumstances. 25. Being a pirate should be considered a manly job because pirates get two types of booty. 26. All men must eat meat. A shitload of meat; if not borderline carnivore. For no reason should a man ever be a vegetarian, or eat sick shit like tofu. Also no man should consume any food with the terms "diet", "fat free", or any other healthy suggesting terms for the sake of "watching his weight" or dieting. 27. Every man is required to learn some form of Poker before he dies. 28. If a man ever does something wrong a simple "OOPS", "My Bad", or any variations of cuss words that get the point across will suffice. No need to say "I'm Sorry". 29. No man should ever hook up with his best friend's girl, no matter how hot she is. This is in effect while they are dating or "together." If they are separated, refer to Law 3 for the proper way to handle the situation. (Side Advice: Less guilt is involved if she comes on to you.) 30. Under no circumstance should any one man cockblock another man’s attempt at getting some tang. Let’s just leave that up to the tangs fat friend. Please note that cockblocking will result in a suspension of your Man Status and its privileges, and will result in the title 'Manbitch'. 31. Every man should watch Sportscenter at least once a day, though multiple viewings are recommended so that one can hold his own in any debate on sports that may arise that day. 32. Under no circumstances shall any man lay a hand on a female or a child in violence. Spanking of a woman's ass or pulling of the hair is permitted if done on request. Corporal punishment is permitted excluding obvious extremes. Punishment for the attacking male is that if other men see the assault taking place they having the right to take him out back behind a building and show him how to fight with real men. In this situation more than one man may be used in the attacking of said woman beater because he clearly doesn’t mind an unfair fight, seeing as he was hitting a lady or a child to begin with. A call to the police is a very last resort and should only be used if said male is over 6' 5" 250lb. or an UFC cage fighter. A kick to the crotch is only called for in cases of rape. If it is merely a guy beating a woman, defenseless child, or elderly people then a legitimate beating is called for, but no shots to the crotch. If it is a case of rape however, multiple shots to the crotch are called for. The punishment must fit the crime, and since rape is using that area of the body, it is ok to inflict damage to it. 33. If a woman is present, whether family or friend, no man under any circumstances shall make their own food or pour their own drinks unless it is a special holiday such as: Mother's Day, birthdays, or St. Patrick's Day... or if the woman cannot keep up with the pace you want your drink poured. Law is void if significant grilling is involved. 34. No man shall ever watch a soap opera ever! Period! If this law is broken, it will result in the lowering of status from 'Man' to 'Manbitch' and the questioning of the liking of opposite gendered relationships. 35. Women can't drive. 36. In the court of Man Law the statement "I was Drunk" will have the same effect as an insanity plea (reduced punishment) in standard court provided the defendant's blood alcohol level exceeds .10. 37. If any male is caught violating a Man Law in serious context, as a form of punishment he should be disowned of his manly name, only to receive the title of 'Manbitch' from his peers and colleagues. Forgiveness is pending the severity of the broken law...or a case of beer to all his offended peers as a token of respect to what is manly... and what is not. 38. Any man that is old enough and is not in the army should at least support the troops, even if you don’t agree with the war, they are your countrymen fighting to protect you and you should show them your support. 39. No more crushing of empty beer cans or your forehead. Modern, thinner cans make the feat less impressive than with cans of years' past. 40. If you take beer to a party the tuck rule is in play. When leaving, you may take one beer max, but only if the beer will fit in your pocket. 41. Do not have a conversation at a urinal. 42. A man will not live in his parents' house past the age of 27 unless they are ill or he is in the war. 43. All men have the right to remain silent when asked by a woman, "Do you like this?"

No man shall ever turn down free beer because "it’s not their brand." 50. No man shall be shamed if they are passed out with their shoes off in your place. If the person passes out outside of the house, then they are fair game, shoes or not. 51. It is acceptable for a man to publicly situate and/or scratch himself in the region of the gonads. If at a formal conference, then do so discretely. If at a football party, scratch away, just no handshakes. 52. The morning after, if a beer has been left on the table, no matter the temperature, it is acceptable to consume this item with food, such as its counterpart, cold pizza. 53. If you spill a man’s beer, you buy the next round/refill the cup. 54. Nursing a beer is unacceptable. The bottle/can/cup should never reach lukewarm temperature with beer still in it. If you can’t drink it in said time, don’t open it. If you can’t drink it in said time, your Man Status will be up for review. 55. Always accept beer from a stranger, but only if unopened/capped. 56. It is never a man’s responsibility to empty the trash while drinking. Beer cans may be stacked or crushed, while the bottles may be thrown into neighbor’s lawn. 57. A man does not have to like another man to drink his beer. Beer is beer. 58. It is acceptable for a man to break man laws, if no other option is humanly possible, in the pursuit of the opposite sex. His actions will be given leeway. 59. The bachelor’s party is exclusively male. (Except the entertainment). 60. No man may ever sell a beer to a friend. It’s understood that said friend will repay beer with beer later. Under no circumstance may the replacement beer be of a lesser quality. 61. A man purse is still a purse. 62.

No man shall ever, under any circumstance, share an umbrella with another man. 70. No two men are allowed to enter a revolving door together. Unless it involves a race where the winner receives a combination of the following: beer, food, sex. 71. The girl who replies to the question, "What do you want for Christmas?" with, "If you loved me, you'd know what I want," gets an Xbox. End of story. 72. Keeping beer from others by hiding it in the fridge is not permissible. Besides, sharing is caring. 73. Wives and girlfriends may not store items other than beer in the garage fridge. It is for beer only. 74. A man may publicly rebuke another man only if the first man has the man law and number memorized. Otherwise the rebuke must be in private.

Everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. And as such said people must consume alcohol on St. Patrick’s Day. Green and/or gold body paint may be worn, but no glitter. 112. When passing another man in a tight area where contact is possible, hole-to-hole or pole-to-pole are only acceptable. If it is pole-to-pole no eye contact should be made. If any detour from this is spotted by any onlooking men, possible labels such as "Fag" may be deemed necessary, resulting immediate demotion in man status. The Man of 1004 Holds In an effort to further boost my ever fluctuating self esteem and kill time I will be posting over the course of time every single fighting move that I am capable of doing. Hopefully being able to actually reach 1004 at some actual point in time, and if there are those of you out there that are asking, "why 1004? Why not a nice round number?" Then you're a round number loving douchebag... and you are completely missing the reference I'm trying to make. (A cookie to anyone that actually recognizes the reference of which I am speaking, and if you have to question the number of times one particular move is in the list, you automatically fail.) I Will Never Reach 1004 Moves in my lifetime... Hell, 300 actual moves would be fucking fantabulous* 1. Kimura The Situation in Hell The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I go out with you", and take into account the fact that I went out with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct . . . leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God." THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A." |
