Ron Swanson’s Pyramid of Greatness…just because.
Here is the text:

America: The only country that matters. If you want to experience other “cultures,” use an atlas, or a ham radio.
Buffets: Whenever available. Choose quantity over quality.
Weapons
Woodworking
Welfare Avoidance
Teamwork: Work together as if your life depends on it… IT DOES.
Selfishness: Take what’s yours.
Haircuts: 3 acceptable styles: high and tight, buzzed cut, crew cut.
Greatness Itself: The best revenge.
Discipline: The ability to repeat a boring thing over and over again.
Attire: Shorts over 6″ are capri pants, Shorts under 6″ are European.

Skim Milk*: Avoid it.
C0ow Protein- Always beats turkey meat
Pig Protein

Torso: Should be thick and impenetrable.
Old Wooden Sailing Ships: They’re beautiful.
B.O.: Cultivating a manly musk puts your opponents on notice.
Stillness: Don’t waste energy moving unless necessary.
Skim Milk*: That’s right. It’s on here twice. Avoid It.
