      Geek, maybe, but discussing disposable tableware surely costs you man points.

      Disposable tableware is perfectly acceptable when you can't round up a convenient scullery wench. Besides, the joke was work-related, so it does not qualify for a deduction.

          Ahh, OK then. Glad to have that clarified. There needs to be a discussion of what potentially causes a loss of man points. Of course that in and of itself might cause a loss of man points, so maybe that's not such a good thing.

                  A man point system wiki needs to be set up and I nominate you as chief judge (the post has a 32oz steak lunch and a beating club).

                    I guess I'm going to have to go back through all of the man points posts and put a web page together (or maybe a code project article :) ).

                      Dude! Discussing china patterns and crystalware costs you man points. Disposable tableware was designed by men for men (and lazy chicks). Get a grip! :wtf:

                        Amazing, a buddy and I just ate $90 worth of sushi. Realistically, I don't usually spend much when looking. I am just going to go and get a gym membership and lifts some weights, stay on my diet, keep looking, and maybe grow a beard for +1 manliness.
