    piDgeon?

    To be macho, you need to come to the aid of someone on distress in a physical way. Maybe punch a guy robbing some foreigner on the underground.

    That will be the double shift down the docks.

    Erm, how about meeting your partner, falling in love, going through good and bad times and sticking it out whatever might happen?

The idea being... when an old friend gets in touch and asks: "So what have you been up to lately?" - I respond with a list of ridiculously macho activities. I need some help compiling a list. Here are my initial thoughts...

    1) Kickboxing
    2) Quad-bike / motorbike riding
    3) Hunting crows/pigeons with a shotgun/airgun
    4) Clay pigeon shooting
    5) Wrestling/Judo/JuJitsu
    6) Weightlifting/gym
    7) Binge-drinking
    8) Eating lots of steak
    9) Getting a short "functional" haircut
    10) Growing a beard
    11) 5hagging a lot of (freely consenting adult) women

    Have you any ideas?

    Why don't you and your mate spend the summer herding sheep in Wyoming. It'll help you both find out who you really are.

    What sort of mindless dickwad would think of taking up any activity purely on the basis that he thought some other mindless dickwad would be impressed by it?
