The Open Marriage

Have you ever been introduced to a guy and it's been awkward? Like that dude who was your girl friend's "best friend" in high school? or that guy who used to work in your office, but now likes to come back and hit on the ladies? or the ever popular cone of silence that is sure to follow when the girls head off to the pisser, and only the guys are left? lacking a kitchen fire, these times are sure to induce the dreaded boner of awkwardness.

I'm sure we've all been there. The solution to these situations is simple: manly things. Women can talk about anything for hours. Guys don't have that luxury. We have sports, tools, boobs and... sports. So when we're left with our hands shoved firmly in our pockets, we can only hope that when the subject of Alex Ovechkin's stellar season is broached, your opposite doesn't assert that Bobby Fischer had a better opening combination.

How can we fix this might you ask? the inter-webs. We can ensure that when you are stuck at the in-law's and all you have for company is your awkward bird watching brother-in-law, you can strike up a conversation about the Cy Young chances of Livan Hernandez (2:1 if you ask me).
With that said, we bring you "The Man Palace". With our crack team of writers, we hope to increase the general knowledge of all things manly for all six of our readers. Our mixed gender staff (we strictly follow Title IX) will rant daily about sports and other manly stuff, with J9's occasional input on boobs and farting.

Let the great experiment begin!
