Butch

So my best friend, Ron, likes to camp. He has been living in Southern California for several years now and I guess camping is quite the oddity down there. Not only does Ron like to camp, but he's willing to go a day or two without a shower or a change of clothes. <gasp!> Because of his rugged ways Ron is considered by his California friends to be butch. No lie. He has been labeled as one butch dude. Now if you know Ron you know how hysterically funny that is. Ron's hairy which favors the butch vote, but he's of an average build and doesn't wear leather or sport tattoos. On a camping trip Ron brings hair gel. Hair gel. That right there cancels any butch argument you could throw at me. Besides that he camps in a huge tent with a remote controlled dome light, a queen size inflatable pillow top mattress with fitted and flat sheets, a nice camp stove, and a propane powered bug zapper. If that isn't enough to convince you... his standard camping meal is teriyaki beef kabobs and gourmet hot chocolate. Camping with him is luxurious enough to make me want to do it more often (and that's saying a lot).

Butch my ass.
