Since it’s the first (hopefully of many) Manly Mondays, I bring you original content!
Scottish Fest USA is the long-running Highland Games + cultural festival at the Orange County Fairground that brings together manly men of all backgrounds together to pick up heavy things and subsequently throw those heavy things, all while wearing a skirt. Afterwards, fried things are eaten and beer is consumed.
Scottish Fest 2017 is May 27-28. Check it out if you’re in the area and want to try Irn-Bru, eat foods guaranteed to cause a cardiovascular event or stare at thighs that look like cabers.

Um. What’s that protuberance at the bottom of the shot?
An out of focus hat
:-/
The picture is actually a tight crop on a much wider shot (and series of shots) that show the release and the weight going over the bar. The shot of the release is a more compelling image of the action but his arm goes right through camobear’s head making it look way more cluttered.
You euphemismed the shite out of that one.
No homo?
^^Not applicable in this thread^^
This expression of The Gay Agenda™ seems like it was suspiciously placed to keep a certain someone from an orange site I remember from wanting to come over.
What was that famous French saying? Make them bake cake. I think that’s how it went.
This seems apt. Tom Hardy Taboo grunts…
Did you like Julian Edelman’s look for this season?
why not add pockets to your kilt?
The external cargo pockets, while useful, ruin the flow of the garment. UK now has a model with slit pockets only that looks a lot better.
ahh, that does sound better.
There are several competitors including AmeriKilt. Comfort. Did I mention the comfort? Then there’s the comfort. Just shake and everything falls into place. Ahh…
Do have a girl teach you how to sit down in it so you don’t flash. Srsly.
That’s probably a good lesson to take before I go outside, right?
At the Highland Games, I always sit at the ground level seat on the bleachers. Hush, you. You will spoil everything.
+1 manspread?
A friend of mine did her bachelorette at RenFaire and her friends had her doing kilt checks with a blue ribbon. One of them she asked for ID before she’d tie a ribbon on it because he looked a bit young.
Any Virginians out there are probably familiar with the Strawberry Hill races. One year there was the theme of “Scottish Highlands”. So I had a kilt made for the affair and wore nothing underneath, as I was told is the custom. After several beers, I proceeded to turn a few cartwheels, having forgotten about my attire selection.Needless to say I was quickly reminded by several of my friends that I had just shown my junk to everybody in the vicinity.
Fortunately it wasn’t that cold and there was no shrinkage. But I don’t think I lived the down for a few years.
“having forgotten”
Likely story, sloop.
Sexy and hilarious simultaneously.
Och, aye. Wood, would, wood.
Lol Bravehard!
So the guy in the background is like “you pussy PICK IT UP”
Look at his feet; he’s just starting to spin and will eventually hurl that up and over his shoulder. Rowr.
That is a tall, firm drink of stout.
😀
This pairs well.
Good brew.
It is. I’d recommend Old Heathen but it has been retired.
Moylan’s Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale – Robust and Strapping.
I didn’t know Jesse was a bear. Or I probably did.
Remember, if it’s not Scottish it’s crap.
I don’t precisely identify as a bear, but guys who like bears tend to like me.
You don’t choose the bear life, Jesse; it chooses you.
I’m an aspiring otter.
*goes back to fantasyland*
Scottish manly men
Right. The bears are over-represented here and push too hard their lifestyle on the rest of us.
Narrows gaze.
You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
Not that you haven’t tried.
Exactly. I’ve vetted this statement…thoroughly.
Nice Jesse. I don’t swing that way, but this Monday choice is way better than Wiener Wednesdays.
seconded!
Anyone got Wiener Wednesday duty yet?
We haven’t made a committee decision yet on whether Weiner Wednesdays involves men or Sydney Leathers and random 15 year old girls. We’ll have to get back to you.
What’s Twink Tuesday, chopped liver?
You guys are lucky Old Man With Candy didn’t get his way on Webelows Wednesday. We’d have had a short run if he had.
I couldn’t think of anything alliterative with “Brownies.”
So Sunflower Girls Sunday is out again?
…breakfast?
He wanted to do “Brownies or Frownies”, but we nixed it because we are fundamentally opposed to up or downvoting.
Brownie Breakfast?
No. Just, no.
I’m trying to get Riven and HM to do Tentacle Tuesdays to cater to some of our more outre commenters.
If I end up doing Twink Tuesday I can always just poach whoever Towleroad is posting these days.
Can the Tuesday choices be simultaneously hilarious and sexy?
Maybe?
I’m unwilling to place any expectations on the fine team who will roll out Traumatic Tuesday or whatever it ends up being.
What about Titty Tuesdays? Are we abandoning the classics?
Here’s a pair of great tits for you.
Futanari Fridays.
Something for everyone.
This gives all of my buttons a good pounding.
pictures of men he finds aesthetically pleasing and Warty has found sufficiently yoked
Huh, I was all ready to make committee jokes, but, yeah, seems quite manly to me! Good job, curation team.
Anti-corruption laws forbid leaving these decisions to one person. Dual control is the way to go on important matters like this.
BTW, I really like that this site has beefcake and cheesecake. It just sets the tone for who we are. We can’t live by trenchant political analysis alone.
Madonna che bestia!
Oh noes, toxic masculinity.
Pfft, as if there is any other kind.
It’s just another Manly Monday? I’ll never hear that song the same again.
Now here’s a manly man.
My god. I think I just got pregnant.
Thought this would be appropriate for this group (apologies in advance for the probable html screw up): Internet Movie Firearms Database
How on Earth do you train for this?
Eat haggis, get swole, read Warty’s forthcoming column…rinse, repeat
Really there are much lighter versions of some of these activities to get the form down. They had an amateur caber toss event with much smaller cabers, etc.
And jesse leaves that curve just hanging over the corner of the plate…
It’s not the size of the caber, it’s how well you toss it, ji. But it’s much more impressive if you know how to handle a bigger caber.
Is that what you were hoping for?
Thicc.

Mondays, suddenly the best days of the week!
Ok, inline images. How is it done?
Secret society. Edit powers and more. These are gods among us.
Elitists!
Glib has so soon split into the haves and the have nots ?
From Libertarian to Commutarian in one week ?
Is that a record ? That’s a record isn’t it ?
IMG tag when you have access to the physical path on the server? Otherwise, you’d have to upload and I don’t see any upload feature.
True. I tried img earlier and the post was blank (my html was correct).
One must be a demigod to post inline images.
Not a demigod, but a god.
And so.
The begining of the end ?
