World Beard Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in September on an international level, but mainly in Australia. It is a day for people, for beards, for fun, and for beard themed bands to play beard themed music. Some such music comes from Australian Rock/Roots band The Beards, who all sport some very manly chin curtains like that of other famed bearded musicians, ZZ Top, The Beatles (the bearded years) and the bearded Bee Gees.

The inaugural event was a novel idea from the bearded group from Adelaide (The Beards) who thought what better way to show off your whiskers than having a day full of entertainment and facial hair appreciation. So do you have “mutton chops” or a “chin strip”? A “balbo” or a “soul patch”? Is it a fashion statement, an act of laziness or essential central heating? Saturday, September 4 is the day to wear it proud because according to The Beards;

For years man has always enjoyed fried food and beer. They have been like long time best friends that just go out and tear up the town. But leave it to some crazy ass Texan to go and play God with the two genres. Inventor and resident redneck Iron Chef Mark Zable came up with the idea to put some Irish life-juice also known as Guinness into some ravioli’s then deep fry those bitches.

what came out was a little fried pillow of drunken happiness. When bitten into, the beer and fatty pasta combine to cause what is undoubtedly referred to as “a taste sensation.” Whether it’s a good one remains a matter of personal opinion and relies on your heart being strong enough to withstand the mighty force of the deep-fried beer grenade.

Bad news for any youngsters that want to enjoy some deep fried rav’s, the great state of Texas went and classified this Irish beer injected treat an alcoholic product thus making it unattainable for anyone under the age of 21. The good news however is that Zable have already patented the idea and name “Deep Fried Beer” so expect to see this deep fried Irish/Italian bomb at a county fair near you really soon.

Barrymust be mellowing out in his old age; first, he quite enjoyed The A Team movie and now, he is enjoying the Clash of the Titans remake (despite Perseus being the bad guy from Avatar).

I realize what your thinking – “Tom, especially in these times of travel safety, I really don’t want my airline to have a sense of humor”. Well do you know what I say to that sir? Nut up you Mountebank! As an avid world traveler myself, I often like to go for the more “local” travel solutions.

Well all around good guy and Man Card Holder Rock shot me this email and I couldn’t pass up showing it to you guys, the community.

Based in Johannesburg (Fucking Prawns!), South Africa, Kulula airlines has adopted a simple monicor to base their company by: We’re traveling 300 to 500 Miles an hour or so 36,000 feet above the ground, why not crack a joke or two and calm the fuck down?(Not an actual company statement, though Official Man Card is in licensing talks with the airline).

What first intrigued me about Kulula Air was their planes. Clad in neon green and plastered with the various “bits and bobs” associated with Airline construction, the fleet looks more like a Bowing Intern’s homework rather than an actual airliner.

As if that weren’t enough, their flight staff love jokes! Take a look at a few of the epic scenarios and quick wit of the crew, and let us know if you’ve had any similar experiences on an airline!

“Your seats cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.”

As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport , a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: “Whoa, big fella. WHOA!”

On another flight with a very “senior” flight attendant crew, the pilot said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached cruising altitude and will be  turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance  the appearance of your flight attendants.”

“In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite.”

Stay Manly Guys!

Every now and again good friend of the site and longtime Man Card Holder John of the OK sends us pictures and tales of his wild adventures.

We were celebrating a couple of birthdays with a day of redneck games at Boone’s ranch. 3,000 acres of fun. Drinking shooting and fishing to name a few. The night ended with a band swimming and more drinking. No cow tipping though, they cost too much… We are getting older but still trying to live life to the fullest here in the OK. Pouring some out for all my Man Card brethren, I leave you with a few pictures and a very drunken Boone shouting stay manly!

Ah John, what would we do without these ramblings of yours? Well the site would shine a little less, that is for damn sure!

One of these days I'll move out

What happens when you try to take my beer? This.

I'm eatin' this bitch right here, right now!

The Smallest Truck We've Got Here in the OK

It was the last time we let Jorge pick the strip club, no matter how “authentic” it was billed as, we wanted naked, Asian, weapon wielding, stripper hotties and all we got was “authentic”.

Every now and then I like to throw a little something up here on OfficialManCard.com for the more cultured among our community, the theater goers, the well read and the gays. Shakespeare’s Othello would have turned out differently if Desdemona had a Gay Sassy Friend! it’s explained in the video.

The Cami Secret may seem like a great idea to women, but as the guy in this parody video points out, the Cami Secret is nothing but a Funbag Napkin Buzz Kill.

Barry Wishes that he was an Australian so he could have voted for the Australian Sex Party in the Australian election last week.

Ramsey and Sergio are back! In this weeks foam finger we discuss the slow Football Pre-season, Tiger woods, and a little bit of everything. Stay tuned!
