The (not so) Stouty Lumberjack
While people have been calling into question my notion that the lumberjack is not the epitome of masculinity, I have stumbled upon some evidence that I may actually be on to something.
This morning while discussing the Lumberjack with my coworker next to the watercooler he said that he immediately thought of the Monty Python Lumberjack sketch. A light went off in my head - that’s where my lumberjack notion probably started. A quick trip to YouTube and my suspicions were all confirmed. To quote the song specifically:
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing and hang around in bars.
As a further proof of this I challenge you to search the term lumberjack on google images. I’m not able to post many of those images but the one above is from the first page.
That being said, I’ve decided it’s all the more reason to vote for the (gender confused) Lumberjack Oatmeal Stout.
