I have always felt the mark of a real man is that he believe there is NOTHING which cannot be improved by adding copious amounts of melted cheese.
Dare anyone disagree with me?

It sure doesn't hurt. Would a corollary be: "that nothing can't be fixed if you use copious amounts of duct tape?"

My dad works in heating and air conditioning, and he assures me that duct tape can fix almost everything except duct work.

As long as it's good cheese, I'm a cheese snob.

Beer.
Isn't improved by adding a cheese topping and bad beer can't be fixed with duct tape.

You could use the tape to seal it up though....

Speaking of duct tape, around these parts it has a nickname: Alabama chrome.

Cheese is more versatile than bacon.

I agree. Cheddar makes everything taste better. Buuuuuut if it's manliness were talking, real men add tobasco to everything, that's a proven fact.

I once went to a local curry house. Halfway through the main course the owner came round and asked if we wanted to try his shepherds pie. We did. It had copious amounts of cheese on top and, trust me, it did NOT improve it.
And he added it to the bill afterwards.

In Scotland the eating of quiche by males over the age of 6 is forbidden by royal charter and those caught are dragged naked by horseback through the streets of their home town until they either beg forgiveness or emigrate (FACT)

It was called "egg and bacon pie" when I was a nipper.
Twice this week the filling was referred to as "custard" by TV chefs (Nigel Slater and Huge Hearnly-Fearnley-Wearnley-Burnley-Whitsable)... that's put me right off it.

Yeah we know. What is it French for? Do you have a literal translation?
Means cake apparently from the German Kuchen.
So is Custard Cake more manly?

French Wikipedia says the French also took it from the Germans and their "kuchen".
When you say "custard pie" I always think of Zeppelin's Custard Pie and the manly manner in which Plant asks for the women's "custard pie" (a very transparent metaphor IMO ).

Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a coat hanger long after hypothermia has set in. Calling RACT is not an option. I will win. Because I'm a man , when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, 'I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start.' We will then drink a couple of beers and break wind, as a form of holy communion. Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like beer, milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like 'cumin' or 'tofu.' For all I know, these are the same thing. Because I'm a man, when one of the appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together. Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it......though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator.. ... Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The true answer is always either sex, cars, sex, sports, or sex. I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask. Because I'm a man, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need to see it. And don't forget to pick up something for my mother, too. Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't ... and if you are feeling amorous afterwards.. .then I will certainly at least remember the name and recommend it to others. Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now? Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the year 2010, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the cooking, laundry, cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest...... Like wandering around in the garden with a beer, wondering what to do. This has been a public service message for women to better understand men.
