Pfft.

Eating delicate sushi arranged by delicate sushi chefs–and served with \*rice \*_wine_ (two anti-manly hits on that one) with delicate rice is **not** manly.

Real men catch their own fish in lakes and streams.

And then gleefully talk about their [boners](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ79pCJBcJ8).

OK OK OK. I accept it. Maybe I was too harsh on P&R in the beginning. I’ll give it another go.

Deary me that made me chuckle. “There’s only one bad word - Texas”.

I’ve never heard of it but watching that clip is making me consider giving it a try.

The bad word was “taxes”. He’s gotta be a member of the most manly political party, remember. 😉

The part that made me lose it was the very end:

“Old wooden sailing ships.”  
Beat.  
“They’re beautiful.”

Hmmm. More obviously funny but I liked the randomness of “Texas”. Oh well.

That bit with the ships was utterly awesome.

Parks & Recreation is one of my favorite shows. Every episode makes me laugh.
