Grown Ass Moments in History

Today, April 7th, marks the anniversary of the beginning of the end of Prohibition. Adult Males all over the country lined up outside bars waiting for midnight with even more eager anticipation than pimply adolescents waiting for Halo 2. (Remember that?)

Of course, it's not as if many of these Adult Males hadn't actually imbibed in the 13 dry years... after all, many of these Adult Males were also Grown Ass Men.

During the Prohibition, as well as today, Grown Ass Manhood will lead you to bend or break certain laws that attempt to sand down your Grown ass edges, reducing you to simple maleness. Not quite reactionary, not exactly revolutionary, certainly not non-conformist, but simply good-old, grown ass, stick-in-the-muditude. It's hard to change a Grown Ass Man, and it's even harder to tame one.

Here's a list of "illegal" activities that Grown Ass Men, past and present, engage in with incredible frequency:

  • Draft Dodging
  • Lying to join the military
  • Bootlegging
  • Stealing Cable
  • Illegal Downloading
  • Rolling Stop Signs
  • Speeding
  • Not Paying Parking Meters
  • Jaywalking
  • Vandalizing Mailboxes
  • Public Urination
  • Home Poker Games
  • Crappy Fireworks Displays
  • Shooting Stuff in your Back Yard
Leave a comment and tell us what laws your Grown Ass Manhood leads you commonly break.
