Guess you don't have wild bull moose over the pond. What could be less girlie or more macho than two alpha males like David and myself butting heads and thrusting our antlers at each other. LOL
One reason I keep my gender neutral screen name is that it usually keeps the few brave male posters on overwhelmingly female boards like this from "poking me" on an unconscious level. My wife chides me that [quote]just because you are punching and hitting them with words instead of your fists, does not make it any better -behave ![/quote] For David to suggest that I don't understand the mechanics of weight loss and gain or that my hi tech toys don't work is fighting words woman. Now EZJim being a man understands this very well,hence his post.
Of course in this context, it is really no more than comradely little jabs to each other shoulders as David is the sole reason I did not abandon the OCF the very month I joined after my blustery brutal insensitive relaunching of the "great PEG wars" prompted a well deserved smack down by Brian over some low blows I threw about if you did not have surgery you did not need a PEG. It's tough being a tough guy/warrior.
After a while, the teenage mask of rebel and strength becomes a permanently attached sword and shield. I bet Rob and I would have gotten along famously and been the best of drinking buddies.
