Thursday Thirteen – My Man Tool.
I received an email about my man tool yesterday. The email, from a close personal friend named srinivasa, insured that my man tool would hit the right spot.
What does that mean?
I’m female and have been all of my life. I’m wondering what exactly is my man tool?
Thursday Thirteen #25 – My Man Tool
Knowing all the wise and wonderful TTers in the crowd, I thought you might help me out.
I present thirteen possible man tools:
1. I have some marbles.

2. I can program in HTML, blah, blah, C+, blah, database, blah.
3. When necessary, I use my manly power tools: cordless drill, skill saw, kwik-saw, electric reel lawn mover, and a variety of rusty shovels.
4. I have an entire manly weight rack of dumbbells and a pull down machine in my basement.
5. I recently purchased a brand new box of Crayons that were immediately confiscated by my darling husband. Clearly Crayons are a man tool.
6. My bar-be-que hits the spot. (That’s got to be a man tool, right??)
7. My diamond wedding ring is a powerful man attractant. Every time I wear it, even if the darling husband is there, I get hard core hit on. Last week, I spilled my drink and needed some napkins. Leaving my dh and Rocker Boy at the table, I asked a tattooed guy on a barstool to pass the napkins to me. He gave me a stack, called me “babe” and I wandered back to the table. Rocker Boy noticed the guy slipped his business card in the stack of napkins. Rocker Boy and dh busted a gut laughing.
8. The Tetrus on my manly Google Sidebar hits my “I need a break” spot.
9. I have a subscription to the modern man’s tool for enlightenment (in Spanish). Mas sexo!
10. I own my very own propane torch.
11. Here’s a host of manly multi-tools:
12. I own a 4×4 off-road truck but it’s never hit anything. Ok, it doesn’t look like this….
13. What about this man-tle:

my man tool is the ability to make my self ‘happy’.
know what I mean… hehe
My man tools? Resourcefulness and the ability to nap on command.
I was laughing so hard reading this! I think that email was a man tool in disguise…
She – oh well – tomorrow?
Jill Lylas – R… r…. um… r what?
Sue – They probably DO think you are a boy named Sue!
Kelly – no, what do you mean?
Di – Ew… nap on demand! Now that’s a skill!
Smtwngrl – Hey, that’s good!
Do you happen to have a Sonic Screwdriver? That would be quite a manly tool. Or perhaps…it is the “man” page for the “Tool” command in UNIX?
Hmmm. Does your remote need updating? That is certainly a man-tool!
Happy TT!
The barbecue. Clearly.
Lost Hemisphere’s Y13 #12
A map. My husband looks at maps like other men look at Playboy centerfolds.
sounds like one of those too rude too mention lol.
Let us know if you figure it out lol
Thanks for stopping by my place. Ill see you next week
I’m going with the BBQ. It looks like you pictured a Weber grill up there. That’s the real deal!!
Your man tool? I can’t even keep a straight face when thinking about this. I am envisioning a collection of dildos in an elaborate cabinet lined with red velvet.
I just don’t have anything as great as those! Although I do have many boxes of computer parts in my basement that I have no idea what exactly they are for, so I think those qualify, except that they actually belong to the man of the house, and not me!
Thanks for the laugh!
I was going to suggest selective hearing…but that’s more of a skill than a tool.
CelicLibrarian – I think even the word UNIX is a man tool!
Denise – No TV- no remote. My husband has all those Leatherman tools instead.
GdayBloke – I’m certain you are correct.
Colleen – Yes indeed – maps are man tools as are watches. I forgot the watch….
Tina – mmm too rude?
Michael – I love my Smokey Joe!
C – ahahahaha… where do I get one of those?
Shaunesay – Random computer parts? Do you live at my house??
Jamie – Yes indeed that is a man tool!
I can’t speak for you, but my man tool hums and runs on C batteries. Though I like thinking of Crayons as “man tools,” far more wholesome than my suggestion. And your commenters are VERY funny. This was truly terrific. Thanks for sharing (and thanks for visiting my TT).
What a wicked, wicked post! I truly enjoyed reading it.
And…okay maybe your best man tool is your hands -maybe it’s not the diamond ring…just the hands. You could do a lot with it.
I loved all the answers but don’t have a clue.
#9….I like the strategic placement….
The Gal Herself – mmmm C batteries? Really?
TipsandTricks – Like what??
Dr. John – People are so funny!
Claudia – Got to love the yellow pencil. Ay Carumba!
I haven’t a clue, but am sure if you investigate the email further it will tell you how to enlarge whatever it is.
I am just wondering what your husband is doing with the crayolas?
Your man tool?
The “small” difference, what else. LOL.
HRH – I’m pretty sure he’s doing his Ph.D. biostatistics homework with them. But I could be wrong….
TorAA – mmmm – small difference?
