[Loch-Ruadh] (no subject)

Sorry, that is not part of my guy requirements. Mine requires you to be
unaccountably attracted to guns, cars, tools, camping, techno stuff, etc.
You must enjoy getting dirty doing things with any of these things. You must
never read directions until and unless you are completely lost (in building
something or in getting somewhere). You must love women in general (you can
exclude a few in specific) - we will give the honorary guys a little slack
here. And you must be able to take something down to its basic parts and put
it back together (working) with at least one part left over.

To become an honorary guy you must also be caught scratching your belly,
scratching your butt and belching without any concern for appearances.
