There are two very common kinds of "typos" on this website:
Words that sound the same (Homophones) - There, their, they're - for example. Discuss and discus. Deer and dear.
Syntax (Word Order, Missing or Added Words)- "Is there an update on Adam Goucher" becomes "Is there an Adam Goucher update?" which becomes "Is Adam Goucher update?"
Mixing up their and they're is an actual mistake that posters on this website make. Using discus (and moran) is intentional.
So, you want to bring up the real man thing again? Ok.
Criteria for being a real man: 1) Military service 2) Primary caretaker for elderly or disabled person that's NOT your vocation -- so like a parent or other family member. 3) Worker in some way in a war zone -- construction, journalist, whatever. 4) Married, active father to 2-4 children. You must live in the same house with those children and the mother, and you must take care of them financially and emotionally. You can't be a BAD father and be a man. You also do not have to procreate. You could be a father to them by adoption or marriage (wife had kids from previous marriage for example). Need at least 2 to fully feel what it's like to be a father, and more than 4 just allows the kids to take care of themselves too much, so 2-4 kids is the range. Now, if you had 4 and then one moves out and you had a 5th, then I'd accept that.
Those are the main ways to be a man. I would consider others if you want to provide them. A single guy though who never has children and works to support himself and his lifestyle and doesn't fall into any of the other criteria I spelled out isn't a real man in my opinion. To be a real man requires serious responsibility, and that isn't fully realized for most people unless they are a GOOD father to 2-4 children.
But does being a real man make you Rupp certified?
You can tell by the replies that it wasn't an established joke yet
Yes this is definitely the one. I remember the replies being the way the ones in this one were. I had thought it was "Is Alana Hadley Update?" then checked if it was "Is Cayla Hatton Update?" because I first remember it being about some high school phenom. Now that I think about it, I think the first time I saw the joke being used was the Cayla Hatton one, but the joke was established from this Radcliffe one.

Is Paula Radcliff update? was the original typo, as was Deer Adam Goucher. Both typos became enduring memes. I'm sure both originals have been deleted, because TMADDDHASFNE, but their memories live on.
Please tell me what that all-caps thing means. I've tried for years and I can't get it.
Another one is the "[X]: How soon will he totally annihilate the [Y records]", which I think comes from VIPAM's original thread "Kenenisa Bekele: how soon will he totally annihilate the distance WR's?"
