Loading ...“Eye Spy” Mantuary Style
This past weekend was a great family friendly weekend. Saturday the Hen and I took the kids to a train station with their cousins. Sure the day had elements of sissy stuff like eye-spy, a picnic and cute little conductor hats for the boys, but BIL (my brother in law) and I made a point to add our own Manly elements to the day. We introduced the boys to some elementary guy stuff like miles of steel track and 200 ton engines. We even had the opportunity to show the boys what happens to a penny when run over by a freight train.
Being a Man 101 was a nice little introduction for our 2 year olds but even that became a little too cutesy for BIL and I. By lunchtime our attention spans were all but spent yet we still had about 2 hours to kill before we would end the day with a relaxing trainride with the kids. Thats when BIL and I stepped up Being a Man 101 to a more advanced level. Cameras in hand, for the remainder of the day, we challenged each other to capture those stupid little events only a guy could love. It was our first go at this and we had the wife and kids in tow so we laid out some groundrules. Originally our pictures were not to include direct cleavage shots from other hot moms. We quickly got caught (story for another time) and subsequently banned any and all pictures of hot moms. Ultimately, we settled on capturing only inanimant objects.
Needless to say, my imagination soared as we walked the grounds taking pictures of anything a guy might appreciate. It was a heated battle, but in the end, I proved victorious with the following pictures:
Somewhat weak, but it got the game rolling:
Clearly this was cropped from a bigger word. That means extra points for creativity:
How does the guy working the line let you know he has room for 3 more? He gives you the shocker:
Simple, pure, timeless:
The picture of the day. I outright won our game of eye spy with this one. Some mechanics were working on the engine when I came across:
So, the next time you’re bored as hell but need to forge ahead like a Man, start your own Manly game of Eye Spy. Sure its simple, dumb and pointless, but what better way to pass the time while showing the world you are not afraid to…

I like it… You say in the end that the Eye Spy might be “dumb and pointless”..I beg to differ. Thats exactly what makes men. Men are cavemen..he hunters. Things may be dumb and pointless to women but they are not to Men. We are the coolest. That is why we will always laugh when we fart and we will always have bacon strips to show the wife. That is why men recite movie lines verbatim..The list goes on. Be a man.
Finding comedy in everyday things is what makes some people their fortunes. It takes a creative mind to find “Nut Ho” in something like Donut Holes (Or whatever the sign actually said). The world needs comedians and since only one in 200 female comedians are actually funny, this immature pointless humor is actually the majority. It’s a sure fire quick laugh.
I snapped this one while in Jamaica this month. I was happy to see this post when I got back to see I’m not the only guy doing this:

Good stuff Tim. Thanks for the contribution. (nice site too, i might add). My pics were from a family-fun day trip to a train station/ride with the fam. “Nut Ho” was actually derived from Walnut Hollow. My favorite is still the shocker though… lucky I had the quick draw on the camera for that one. Keep the comments coming and as always…
