re: #2 Gus

In a world of rapidly depleting testosterone…

Seriously Bushmaster? Seriously? I honestly don’t believe the world has gotten any less manly over the last 50 years.

I have a Jeep that I turn my own wrenches on. It has the big, awesome, inefficient 4.0L inline 6 engine. I drive it with glee, especially when I’ve got the 4 wheel drive engaged.

Normally, I use the 4WD to drive right into the middle of a storm in the Sierra Nevadas near Lake Tahoe, so I can go take unnecessary risks on double-black diamond ski terrain.

I keep in shape by lifting free weights and believe that those weight machine things are for sissies.

I learned how to shoot and maintain guns as a Boy Scout.

I’ve got an excellent beard right now.

I know how to weld and use machine tools to make stuff out of metal.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, have LGBT friends, and I’m married to the most rabid Feminazi I know. None of this stuff stops me from being a macho, redneck idiot. Not even my wife.

If you fear for the testosterone of the Millenials and are unsure of how to be manly in this modern world, I have a suggestion: Grow a pair.
