Re: Popular Mechanics - 100 DIY Skills Every Man Should Know
Once upon a time, a guy wasn't
a grown-up 'til he could tie a tie. Four-in-hand, Windsor, bow-tie (for your tux!), and Ascot (for full morning suit). Most women can do it backwards. When it was time to teach my son, I had to stand behind him and look in the mirror. ![]() I think he can only do a Windsor.

Re: Popular Mechanics - 100 DIY Skills Every Man Should Know
The tool list is way off. "framing hammer" come on, most guys only have a regular hammer. And no "Cresent" or "adjustable" wrench? Whatever,
even my mother in law has a "Cresent wrench"

Re: Popular Mechanics - 100 DIY Skills Every Man Should Know
Sounds like a metrosexual's list maybe. Sew a button? Use a sewing machine? What kind of fag wrote that list? Where was read a friggin' map? How about how to find your way out of the woods if you get mis-oriented? Or how about, taking out an intruder with nothing but a pencil? Popular Mechanics has just dropped to the women's magazine level for me.
