Godhand. Now that is a name given with respect.

Masutatsu Oyama was dubbed the Godhand, a living manifestation of the Japanese warriors’ maxim Ichi geki, Hissatsu or “One strike, certain death”.

In 1952 Oyama started demonstrating his martial arts to American audiences where he took on all challengers resulting in 270 fights. He beat most of these people in under 3 minutes and usually with one punch.

It was claimed “If he hit you, you broke. If you blocked a rib punch, you arm was broken or dislocated. If you didn’t block, your rib was broken.”

He was also known as “The Bull Killer”. Yet another awesomely manly name and it’s not just a cool name his buddies gave him rather a name earned by killing 52 bulls…with his bare hands, four of which were killed with a single punch. He even developed a “knife-hand blow” that could break the bull’s horns.

You don’t get badass paintings of yourself karate chopping bulls by being a sissy.

Yet another nickname was Bear Fighter. I’m guessing that’s not just his girlfriends’ pet name for him either.

When I read about his death in 1994 from cancer, I realized that it was probably just a made up fact to make him seem more human. But I will always believe he died the way he lived…by punching himself to death.

An extremely manly reader by the name of Andy (whose name should be MANdy if it wasn’t a woman’s name) submitted this overlooked song as an “anthem” or possible theme song for ManOverse.com and I totally agree.

So without further ado, the “Unofficial” (because I’m probably not legally allowed to just steal it) theme song for ManOverse.

“Now You’re a MAN” from the opening credits of the Orgasmo movie

Andy…thank you sir, you are a genius!

Jon Dyer from Dyers.org is in the process of doing something very manly.

He plans on growing EVERY BEARD!

The process looks like it’s taken quite some time but totally worth it from a manly standpoint.

At the time of my discovering his Quest for Every Beard, he had completed a total of 24 types including variations of them.

I highly suggest reading his “Beard FAQ” as well…highly entertaining.

They do exist!

And it’s not just the one that happens when my buddies and I get drunk and play hockey on the Xbox that eventually turns into a slugfest or an impromptu padless, slapshot contest in the garage.

ESPN dug deep and found the secret world of Silicon Valley’s own Fight Club.

How do you know that U.S. Soldiers are manly?

Because they take don’t bother with C-4 or other explosives to get inside an insurgent compound.

They just run through it.

Finally, an answer to the age old question of who would win in a bicycle race…

Monkeys or bears?

Making out with bears, while not socially acceptable, is totally manly.

Because it’s a friggin’ BEAR.

“It’s cool, this is a chick bear.”

I wouldn’t recommend trying to get past second base though.

Dolph “He-Man” Lundgren

FIGHT! 

I don’t know why I associate bacon so heavily with being a man but here is yet another great bacon-themed product that I would actually consider owning.

From ArchieMcphee.com

There’s a theory that everything is better with bacon. We believe that theory with all of our heart. To that end, we are introducing our line of bacon formal wear with Uncle Oinker’s Bacon Scented Bacon Print Tuxedo. You can get married in bacon, get confirmed in bacon or go to the Oscars in bacon! Wait until Joan Rivers gets a whiff of you. Each Tuxedo is tailored from chemically treated latex print fabric in one of four different sizes. Best of all, it smells just like bacon sizzling in the pan. Dry clean only.

Screw Wiki, this is the kind of info I’m looking for.

A blatant rip-off of the name Wikipedia but a format all it’s own including a clever “body measurement” chart for all entries.

I’m not sure how accurate all the information is but then again, how much info is accurate on the internets?

An awesome source of pictures and stats though for all your stalking autobiographing needs. Not to mention the extra sections for vices and assets, it’s hard to go wrong.
