How many of the following "guy things" can you do?

Throwing a spiral is part and parcel of being a red blooded american male....a curve is a bit harder...but maybe i say that because i can't really throw a curve

(for the record, I can't do any of these):

Juggle
Ride a unicycle
Dunk a basketball
Handstand
Standing back-flip (on the ground/not a diving board)
Throw a knife or ax and stick it
Bounce a golf ball off the face of a club for more than 3-4 times
Keep a wooden paddle ball thingy going

I've always been horrible at stuff like this; can barely make a Slinky go down two steps.

Throw a balanced knife, yes
Bounce the ball off a wood paddle and metal golf club - yes

the rest of the stuff seems more like stuff "annoying guy that does theater" does when he's not getting attention

Things I want to teach my son or else I’m a big failure of a father:

1) treat everyone you meet with respect, no matter who they are
2) win and lose graciously
3) give your absolute best

Apart from that I think a lot of the thread is kinda gravy. You’re gonna suck at most things you try, but that’s no reason to quit. The world will be so different 10, 20, 30 years from now I probably won’t understand it, and I hope you forgive me for that.

Into the whiskey tonight and sentimental cause my old man finally got to meet his grandson this weekend.

How does the NATO phonetic alphabet differ from the one used by the US military?

Other than that (maybe) and dancing I have to give Dad credit for gettin it all done.
 
I’m glad to know awaken is the one infuriating me while writing a check at the grocery store.
 
Two things I can’t do that I wish I could are field dress an animal and drive stick. Both for lack of opportunity.
