ManStallion Mail Bag-The Holidays

Guest Do manstallions celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or something else?

ManStallions do whatever they want to do...so that means they can celebrate whatever holiday they want. However, to date, ManStallions have only been seen celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah.

The Best A ManStallion Can Get

This video will help you understand a little bit more about what ManStallions are all about.

Man Stallion Mailbag

Guest Do manstallions ever travel abroad?

For sure, not only do ManStallions love other countries, other countries love ManStallions.

ManStallion Mailbag-Give Thanks

Guest How many plates of Thanksgiving dinner can one Manstallion eat?

That is hard to quantify, ManStallion eating habits are hard to track since we usually eat our food out of containers typically referred to as troughs.  However during Thanksgiving we will oblige in typical human behavior and dine with friends and family via plates.  While we could enjoy the entire feast ourselves we politely save some food for the others around us.  Although we do tend to eat the majority of food that contains oats, carrots, apples, and sugar cubes.  

ManStallion Mailbag-Sexy Time

Guest Is winning really sexy?

Well here is what we have to say.  If ManStallions always win and ManStallions are sexy then by the transitive property winning is sexy.  So simple yet so complex.  

Oh and speaking of sexy...soon...ManStallion TV will be returning soon.  

ManStallion Mailbag-We're All in This Together

Guest Who is the better manstallion?

Horses and Stallions live in herds.  People live in neighborhoods... emphasis on "neigh".  So what does all of this mean...that Man Stallions live together and work together and together we make ourselves stronger.  

ManStallion Mail bag Hawaiian Style

Guest Is pineapple a bacon food or a chocolate food?

Great question.  Pineapple is a savory and important fruit in many cultures.  Pineapple is versatile and can be tasty with both chocolate and bacon.  However when paired with bacon, especially Canadian bacon, bacon and pineapple is a winning combination.  

ManStallion MailBag-Ross?

Guest when does ross smithey get some credit?


Who is Ross Smithey?...Is this him?

ManStallion Mail Bag

Guest: "what type of beer do manstallions prefer?"

Man Stallions love America and we love things made in America. Brewing is a craft much like pottery, the brew master being the potter or the artist. Therefore while Man Stallions can enjoy a mass produced beer for recreation; we support beers coming from American micro-breweries. Keep it simple, keep it personal, keep it tasty.

ManStallions and Sleep

Someone asked us, do ManStallions sleep? Let me ask you this. Does it really matter? The fact is that at any moment I could be sneaking up behind you, hiding under your desk, or looking at your through your window. I'm ready to pounce all day, every day. Constant vigilance is my motto. Some people say the best defense is a good offense. Well you know whats better than a good offense? A good offense and a good defense. Like how I can use my superhuman strength to hit you, my cat-like agility to dodge you and my snake tongue to humiliate you.

Common Mistake

Guest If you two are manstallions, than does that make Ashton Eaton the ruler of all manstallions?

The most simple way I can answer this to say this. A square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. ManStallions are decathletes, but decathletes are not ManStallions. The relationship only goes one way

The Word "ManStallion"

Guest if manstallion is one word, why is it two words at the top of your page?

The English language is not yet advanced enough for the fused word that is "ManStallion".  Because of this you will see it written in its proper and native way, "ManStallion", as well as "Man Stallion" for the laymen.  Either way is acceptable.  

Mailbag Keeps Heating Up

Guest Do ManStallions wear condoms? If so, what kind?

First off, you should reference " The Mailbag Heats Up"...this post talks about ManStallion breeding.  Now with this information in mind let me continue with the answer.  Man Stallions themselves are never in any true danger, however it is our responsibility to keep those around us safe.  We must be responsible for those we care about.  So yes, we do, and in terms of what kind we use....big ones.  

Man Stallion Mail Bag

Guest: I meant plural. Why are two of you manstallions and not menstallion.

 

Would you say "we are mousedogs" or would you say "we are micedog"? Its just proper English, "s" comes at the end.

Manscaping

Guest Do ManStallions shave their pubes?

While a ManStallion does have many of the anatomical features of humans, we also possess a keen sense of concentration. If for instance, I noticed that my cholesterol was getting a bit high, I could concentrate for a few minutes to lower it. The same goes for many of our bodily functions. If you've found that you don't have this particular skill, we do recommend Manscaping when appropriate or when requested by others.

ManStallions Get VERY Hungry

Over the weekend the ManStallions decided to take a little jaunt up to New York to see some friends, enjoy the city and help construct the new Freedom Tower. Well as you can imagine, after all that work we got hungry and decided to enjoy an evening at a restaurant with a few friends. Most people don't realize but food bills can be a large part of an individual's budget; even more so for a ManStallion. The calamari fritti was especially delicious.

The Mailbag Heats Up

Guest Do ManStallions breed?

I love a challenge and this question definitely qualifies. I guess the best way to answer this is to say that no, in the traditional sense, we do not breed. The word breed, especially when used in reference to horses, means to copulate with the intent to procreate. As I've mentioned before ManStallions are neither created nor destroyed. True, we sometimes decide to go away, however we do not truly die. To put this in a mortal sense, consider this, and I borrow from author, Chuck Palahniuk, "We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." These words give a good sense of the values that we founded ManStallion Inc. on.

ManStallion Review

USA's new series, "White Collar" is equal parts class, mystery and romance. More like roMANce. A handsome male lead with dashing style and suave charm atones for his fraudulent past by going to work with the FBI agent who caught him-meanwhile searching for the girl of his dreams. The shows lends flair to white collar crime in New York while making subtle yet clever references to pop culture ("Now say, 'I'll be back'" episode 2). The mystique of a criminal meets the charm and style of James Bond. Frank Sinatra meets George Clooney. This show gets our wholehearted endorsement as representative of the ManStallion lifestyle.

Man Stallion Mailbag

Guest: Why ManStallions? Why not Menstallion?

Guest after reading this I want you to go try this...

Do 30 push-ups and 60 sit-ups in under 75 seconds. Then walk up to a well light, full length mirror. Take your shirt off. And clearly project "I am a Menstallion."

Now do you understand? Write back to us and let us know how it went and what you felt.

Global Warming

Guest How do we solve global warming?

Really getting down to the tough ones, aren't we? Ok, well don't worry; A ManStallion always knows the answer and this is no different.

Lets start with some background. This issue has gotten pretty "heated" *ahem* lately and popular songs like Fire Burning, Its Getting Hot in Here, and some older ones like Ring of Fire and Hot in the City are only contributing to the blaze. But don't worry, this isn't like Voldemort, just saying "hot" won't make it true.

The argument basically says that as we burn fossil fuels we release gases into the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun and are causing permanent climate shift. Critics point to evidence of temperature cycles as proof that we are merely going through a hot phase. But regardless of the possibility of global warming, ManStallions still think that reducing our usage of fossil fuels is a good thing. So here's what we've done to help contribute. On weekends we sing to growing trees to help them mature faster and absorb more CO2. And every day we spend at least twenty minutes throwing ice cubes at the sun. Take that! But these are small scale. Throwing ice at the sun will make him think twice about sending so much heat our way, but its not a permanent solution.

So ManStallions have teamed up with some local engineers to come up with a great strategy. ManStallions volunteered three weeks of our time during the summer to spend in a specially designed exercise room. Essentially we're going to run for three weeks straight and produce enough body heat to boil water and create steam which will spin turbines to create electricity. We estimate that in those three weeks we can produce enough power to eliminate the need for traditional power plants until 2014. No need to burn oil, we'll just get fit! ManStallions always try to kill two birds with one stone. And not always literally.

ManStallions and Athletics

Guest Do Manstallions excel at any sport besides track?

Great question, especially given that the two known ManStallions run track competitively. To answer this I will call on the expertise of others as well as highlighting my own experiences. First, lets consider that ManStallions are not simply runners. We are decathletes. The decathlon is, "the supreme test of all-around athleticism."

We compete in ten events testing our speed, strength, power, agility and endurance. The crucial elements of any athlete. To combine these skills into one human demands that he be larger than average. Decathletes tend to be between 6'0-6'3, weighing between 180-200 lbs, however due to the unique demands of our event there have been larger and smaller successful competitors.

Now, the ManStallion, who many would consider a bastion of athleticism, is obviously predisposed toward decathlon greatness. Not only do our physical skills suit the event perfectly, but our comradely, relaxed nature complement the challenging environment of the decathlon.

So if you combine the superhuman athletic prowess of a ManStallion with the training and experience of a decathlete, what do you get? As many would say, "The World's Greatest Athlete." I think its safe to say that we could dominate any sport we choose, but so far we haven't found another worthy of our attention.

Thanks!

First of all, I'd like to say thank you to our budding fan base! We've received a lot of positive feedback and are excited to be providing you all with a little fun in your hectic lives.

We've got a lot of plans for expansion in the works. We're hoping to premier our ManStallion Meals webisode series to you by next week. In this segment we will highlight how you can live the ManStallion lifestyle in the kitchen. What to cook, how to cook it, these are every day questions that we will give you the answers for.

We've also begun planning for our ManStallion Apparel line. We want to give you a way to support your local ManStallions in style. Simple, yet classy. Classical. Timeless. You should be able to feel sexy and confident in attire that epitomizes your lifestyle. This is what you can look forward to in our upcoming clothing line.

If time allows we also want to bring you the long awaited second part to our ManStallion How To series. We know ManStallion Entertainment hasn't been everything that a ManStallion branded product should be and we're going to fix that. I won't spoil the surprise, but I will tell you that this segment will get at the very roots of the idea that is ManStallion.

Again, thanks everyone for your support, stay tuned for more content! And keep sending questions, we're happy to answer them.

Studying-ManStallion Style

We were working together,* leveraging each others strengths and bodies to study for an exam. After getting the first example right we stopped. Why? You ask. A ManStallion brain is like a hiker reaching the summit of a mountain. Once you're at the top there's nowhere to go but down. Unless you have a jetpack. But our brains don't have jetpacks.

*Last time we did this we discovered the photoelectric effect, but as our friend Albert (Einstein) was turning 26 soon, we decided to give him our documents as a birthday present. And just look how that early burst of inspiration motivated him!

Boxers of Briefs?

Guest: Boxers or briefs?

It depends on need, functionality, and accessibility. There is a great brand that we have specially imported from Thailand, appropriately named Saddles. But if you have trouble finding that the next best thing would be Jockey.

The first ManStallion?

Guest Who was the first of the ManStallion kind?

Great question, guest. As I mentioned in my previous post, ManStallions created the Earth. The first (and only) time we ever tried our hardest at something we created the world in which we all live.

But, you ask, who was the first? Well, ManStallions are like matter. We are neither created nor destroyed. We do however, recycle. Through intense concentration we can actually switch from aging (like humans do) to younging, where we actually lose age. We do this when we get bored with our current form and decide to reinvent ourselves.

ManStallions v. The Team

A brave albeit misguided peer (I use the term loosely to confer respect on him), tried to use economic theory to explain why the ManStallion combined decathlon score is lower than the team combined decathlon score. He was close, but alas, misinformed. Apparently he has never heard the age-old adage, "A ManStallion never gives 100%, because to create another Earth would be superfluous." Obviously the reason for our lower score is that we like to foster an atmosphere of competition; it wouldn't be very fun for anyone if I ran the 100m in 3.72 seconds at every meet would it?

Guest write:

"In honor of my Business Econ midterm tomorrow which I have been studying for feverishly, I would like to take this opportunity to point that it is the Low-Hanging Fruit Principle is responsible for the team's victory over the ManStallions. That is to say, by specializing, the production possibility curve is expanded. Being the "jack-of-all-trades" is mighty cool, but not efficient."

I respond:

In honor of my being superior to you I will clarify this difficult (for you) principle as it relates to ManStallions.

The low-hanging fruit principle, in general, states that those tasks that are relatively easily accomplished and yield relatively large improvements should be completed first. For instance, if I were tasked with revamping Emory's culture*, I would first start with those areas that were easy to finish and yielded large gains. I would establish protocols making it impossible for anyone from Long Island to gain admission (an easy filter) which would then increase average coolness, decrease prominence of tights as pants, and free up those tables outside Cox (large improvements).

That being said, lets apply this principle to Emory Track and Field. Lets say that the task at hand is winning conference (scoring as many points as possible). How do I go about this? I take someone remarkably talented, train them in many events (easy; especially if its a ManStallion) and set them loose to score in many different events (Large improvements)! I think Coach Curtin may have a degree in economics! Instead of wasting their time with fragile sprinters who may, in any given meet, compete in, say, 4 events, we've invested in ManStallions who train for 10 events and will probably win all of them because everyone else will withdraw for fear of being embarrassed.

*They did ask me to do this over the summer; I declined as I was busy refurbishing train stations to make them more efficient in the area of heat retention and designing suspension bridges for Denmark

The Mailbag

• Guest Is ManStallion two words or one?!

The proper format is "ManStallion." The etymological root emphasizes that we are at once a Man and a Stallion. English convention dictates that one word be before the other. Our native neigh does not put a chronological emphasis on either part of the term, allowing us to more correctly portray the equality of our kind.

• Guest What's the optimal number of ManStallions to change a lightbulb?
• Great question, most people actually don't know but ManStallions actually played a large part in the development of electricity and the light bulb. Oxidation was the primary problem, we found, when selecting a filament material but we outsourced that tedious work to various scientists who were eager to work with us. Anyway, back to your question, ManStallions actually frequently use echolocation so technically we don't even need light to navigate. In order to make our human brethren more comfortable, however, we do frequently live in well lit areas. I disdain such menial labor as changing light bulbs, so I actually drew up a rather clever solution.

This automatic light bulb changer, while rather complex, is now under patent by Thomas Magdi, to whom I sold the design in early 2004. So, 0. It takes 0 ManStallions to change a light bulb.

The ManStallion Philosophy

Our blog is meant to highlight the full extent of the ManStallion lifestyle. What we eat, drink, or wear. Sleep patterns, hobbies, interests, strengths and weaknesses. Our mystique.

It may be coincidence that all surviving ManStallions are decathletes, however we often succumb to some of the pre-eminent myths that surround this event. A Jack-of-all-Trades, Master-of-none. Yes, perhaps thats a fitting description of a decathlete. You could argue that the decision to pursue 10 events effectively destroys your possibility of truly mastering any. Not true for the ManStallion. Our ceaseless thirst for knowledge and limitless energy allow us to canter through the meadows of Track. We gallop toward challenge, hurdle obstacles and scoff at victory. Victory implies the possibility of defeat. We, ManStallions, pursue all endeavors equally and soon become Master of All Trades. I am equally adept at shot put, carpentry, rabbit hunting and pain tolerance. While the skills and traits we possess may seem daunting and intimidating to some, do not be afraid. We are a gentle, loving breed, known for our extroverted, fun loving personalities. We accept all into our herd who are willing and qualified. Our numbers may be small but our aura is without boundary. There is an old French proverb that translates roughly as "The stable wears out the horse more than the road." We were born to run, not just down the track, but through the forests of intellect, over the tundra of competition and over the seas of curiosity.

1500 Meter Run

A Guest has asked:

" What does a Man Stallion run a 1500 in?"

Answer: Every Man Stallion strives to run the 1500 meter race in 4 minutes and 20 seconds. We try to do everything in increments of 420 if possible.

Great question keep them coming.

Is it ok for Man Stallions to watch Glee?

Great question. While singing and dancing may not be typically thought of as what Man Stallions do in there spare time, much of which is spent building fires, hunting, sharpening knifes, and shaving, it is acceptable. To meet your musical quota watch Glee on Fox, it will be a good time.

Man Stallions Should be Watching This

Right know I am suggesting that you begin to watch Modern Family on ABC. It's great. On the left side of our blog you will see an area that says "Man Stallion Entertainment". Here you will find a link to the show along with links to other shows as they get the Man Stallion seal of approval. Enjoy.

Magic Mouse more like Man Stallion Mouse

Apple came out today with their new Magic Mouse. This mouse has multi-touch capabilites. Too bad we, the Man Stallions, thought of this first. They copied us but so did Thomas Edison with the phonograph so we are used to it. For more info on this new tight mouse ManStallion Search that shiz.

Emory Homecoming Rain or Shine

Parades are very similar to stampedes...so we like them.

Man Stallion Haircare

This is critical. All Man Stallions and Man Stallions in training are and should be using Pantene Shampoo AND Conditioner. Conditioner is critical... everyday...I don't care what the experts say...I am the expert. Do it and look sexy.

Party in the USA is in Nashville

So I just watched the new Miley Cyrus video and was not happy with it, except the American flag is epic. She is having a party in the country, they all have cowboy boots on, she is not in LA... it does not make sense. She should have gotten off a plane in LA and been all country and walked around the city singing about how she has butterflies cause she does not fit in. Oh well, next time get that produced by a Man Stallion. Here is the video, watch for yourself.

Man Stallion Meals

Just in... canned tuna mixed with Easy-Mac.... delicious.... try it now.

I boiled some water

It was early evening and I felt a bit parched. What does the gecko do when he can't find the cricket? I know, that's what I thought too. So I put some water on to boil and broke out the Liptons. Tea is making a come back circa 1773. Stephen mentioned the boiling point of water, 212 fahrenheit, and I thought to myself, "Why should I risk burning myself, global warming and arctic melting. There must be a better way to do this." So I perfected LaserEyes and did some basic stoichiometry in my head and boiled water with lasers from my eyes. Its really amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.

Fraternity Boy hooks up with a 15 year-old.

This past weekend a brother at a particular fraternity hooked up with a 15 year-old girl visiting her cousin on campus. I don't really know what to say about this except that Man Stallions don't do this.

Skeleton Crew at Center Stage

Emory's break dance team.

The Swine Flu Vaccine is Deadly?

So I guess Swine Flu hit America back in '76. This is an interesting "60 Minutes" clip that shows the harms of the vaccine. Very interesting to think about... but good thing Man Stallions can't get sick. To learn more on this kind of stuff Man Stallion Search it.

Reality TV show at Emory University in Atlanta

Druid Hills is a reality TV show that filmed for two seasons on the campus on Emory University. Here is a description I found:

"... the program follows the lives of a group of freshman from around the country. We see the highs and the lows that make up their lives. From the laughs and love to the lies and lust, life in Druid Hills never has a dull moment."

Watch Season One Episode One below. I will post more episodes in the coming weeks.

Fusion Finals are Finally Here

Check out the 2008 Fusion Finals. Below you can see the final two fused teams perform at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA. I will be randomly posting more videos from the Fusion Finals in the next couple of weeks so keep coming back to see more. Click the icon in the bottom right of the video to watch in full screen mode...Enjoy.

THIS IS IT

The Michael Jackson farewell documentary "This Is It" comes out on Oct 28th. It will be showing for two weeks only, so they say, and tickets go on sale this week, Sept 27th. This is going to be EPIC. Man Stallions love Michael so go and see it. Watch the trailer below and for more info Man Stallion Search it.

Due Date filming in ATL

The new Todd Phillips movie "Due Date" staring Robert Downey Jr. and the Hangover's Zach Galifianakis starts shooting in Atlanta this week.

The Hangover passes Star Trek

So the Hangover just passed Star Trek this weekend in the B.O with a gross of over $255 million. Who would have ever thought that. But I like it.

Origins of the Term"Broad"

Today at lunch the question came up about the origins of the term "broad" when it is used to referr to women. Here is what I found on urban dictionary:

The term originated in the 1930's meaning woman; derived from the fact that the most defining characteristic of all females are their hips, which are proportionally wider than the hips of their male counterparts.

Speaking of hips, here we can see a picture of International singing sensation Shakira...her hips were imortilized in her hit song "Hips don't Lie.

Well, for more info on this kind of stuff Man Stallion Search that shiz.

James Cameron on AVATAR

I like this guy, he makes movies the right way. Watch this interview of him from this year Comic Con. For more info on AVATAR, his first major film since Titanic, Man Stallion Search that shiz.

Tunnel Vision

Hey so sorry all my posts have been about movies lately but that's just what's on my mind. Another rule for Man Stallions is just always go with what you are feeling...Express don't Repress. So if I want to talk about movies then I got to. Don't worry though my mind wanders all over the place...give it time.

The Ugly Truth

So I am always down for a good rom com but this kind of missed the mark for me. All the parts that were about to be cute were ruined by rounchy and crude jokes. They should have cleaned this up some, gotten the PG-13 rating, and made a better movie for a bigger audience. I love the concept though.

T2 Hitting the Top 10

So while I am not a fan of Transformers 2 there are plenty of other people that are. It looks like by the end of this weekend it will pass The Lord of the Rings 3 with 377 million to take the 10th highest grossing spot of all time (domestic). It might even pass Star Wars 3 and become the 9th with 380 mill.

NEW 2010 "Alice in Wonderland" Trailer

Here is the trailer for the new Tim Burton take on the story of "Alice in Wonderland". For more info on this movie Man Stallion Search that shiz.

Hollywood ASST

This is funny stuff right here...and so true.

ABC's "Modern Family" is gonna be epic this fall

This new single cam, half hour comedy preming on ABC this fall this excellent. I got to see the pilot and it rocks. Funny, smart, witty I love it. Check out the trailer.

Moon

The moon landing was epic, yesterday was the 40th anniversary of it...I love America.

Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana

This is the name on the new Disney Channel special that aired tonight. Here is the premise. Hannah Montana is going to Hawaii for a concert via the cruise ship that Zack and Cody live on for their show Suite Life on Deck. In addition everyone from Wizards of Waverly place are just chilling on the boat. This is another example of Disney's pure genius.

Great Job Fox News

They are dominating cable. They are the #3 channel on cable only behind USA and TNT. CNN is 14th and MSNBC is 19th. The network's total viewership is up 35% and 54% for the coveted 25-54 year old desired demographic. Fox also has all of the top ten most watched cable news shows...that's epic.

Obama Protest

So people hit the streets today to protest Obama's healthcare proposal.... finally.

No Emmy nomination for Jeremy Piven?

What? Piven has been nominated the past four years and won the past three years in the best supporting actor category for playing Ari on Entourage. This year he gets nothing. I am not down with that. Word has it people are mad that he quit his broadway play in the middle of its run. But the person vendettas need to be left out of the nominations. Oh well.

Man Stallion-A History

In case you were wondering about the origins of Man Stallions let me tell you. While there are many people throughout history that may have been Man Stallions none of it has ever been confirmed. The there are only two currently know Man Stallions alive today, which makes them a rare breed indeed. The first one was born in January of '88 and the seconded one followed about 8 months later in August of '88. This obviously was a magical year. While science has found that many humans are close to being Man Stallion only these two cases have been officially proven to be 100% Man Stallion thoroughbreds. The hope of this blog is to help those that are not sure discover if they are Man Stallions or not. If you find what you learn here to feel natural then there is a chance that you might be destined for Man Stallion-ism.

Man Stallion Fitness

So today during lunch I over heard this women talking to her friend on the phone. She was saying how it is OK that she is eating Taco Bell because she went on a walk this morning. Man Stallions...this is not the way to stay fit.

Man Stallion Literature

This is highly recommended for any person interested in knowing more about the mind of a Man Stallion. Judith Glover's "The Stallion Man".

Man Stallion's support Harry

While we use to be huge fans of Transformers, the sequel was far below par. Now since we are mad that it is the highest grossing film of the year we put our support behind HP. And our wish is coming true. Harry set the new midnight showing record with $22.2 million...that beats previous record holder Dark Knight by almost $4mil and Transformers 2 by like $6 mil. Also HP set this record with very few IMAX screens because Paramount made sure IMAX kept T2 on the screen till after HP was released...sneaky sneaky.

Man Stallion Dinner

So I just ate a Western Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr. and I don't know if it was them, but who ever thought of the idea to put an onion ring on a burger might possibly become an honorary Man Stallion...nice work buddy.

Man Stallion Vocab

On top of the common Man Stallion vernacular such as: Rufus, Healthy, Epic... The newest word to the bunch is now...CRISPY--meaning cool or awesome.

Here is an example of how one would use it in a sentence:

Dude the joe bro's new album...so crispy.

or

Bro last night's episode of Entourage was so crispy.

Man Stallion TV

If you can't wait to be introduced to the world of Man Stallion Inc. then here's a glimpse of what is to come.

Man Stallion-What's New

Cool. So I just made this in prep for Man Stallion Inc. Coming this fall... stuff is gonna get crazy.
