How surprising

Anti-gay marriage advocate and forcibly imposed 'Murican Hero' and greatest QB ever Tim Tebow likes to celebrate victories with his teammates with a nice kiss on the lips. If the Broncos somehow defeat Detroit this weekend I fully expect there to be tongue.

For a brief time in my life I was good friends with the War Chief of the local Bandidos Motorcycle Gang, which is basically the Pacific NW affiliate of the Hells Angels. Bandidos are hardcore, not being you wannabe weekend rider club, instead being deep in the meth biz, and this was some hard dude. Whereas if you look up "pasty candy-assed civilian" in the Bikers' Dictionary you see my sorry face shiny out.

But the guy was very intelligent and in between stomping rival gangs like him some NYT crossword puzzles, omelets, bloody Mary's, and Su day morning NFL at our local bar and appreciated the fact that I knew stiff about words. So I think he told the rest of the local to lay off. Cause a couple of the guys clearly didn't like or trust me at all. Not a good combination when dealing with tweaked bikers with ready access to guns.

But anyway it allowed me a front row seat to interactions of the local and one of the oddest things is that their was not much overt PDA with their girlfriends (scary enough on their own) but all full members of the group met each other with full lip locks. Kind of like the Early Christian 'kiss of peace' reversed. I never quite got it, maybe it w just a "I am so bad that I could kill you for mocking me" or as pretentious assholes like me might say "epater le bourgeoisie" but it is stricking that the more macho the activity, whether that be meth dealing bikers or top level college and pro football the more open the homophile behavior. That is if you think about it (and I try not to) the only difference between a jockstrap and assless biker chaps is the material. And there is no more butch environment anywhere than a leather bar. Or maybe a frat initiation. And the only way to tell the difference between walking into a biker bar and a gay leather bar is the brochures on the bar and maybe the gender of the "friends" playing pool while the boys throw back their Jack Daniel's.

So as for Tebow maybe it just all goes back to being Alpha Male in the Pack and it not mattering much who you mount. They call them 'top dog' for a reason.

Still a little odd when seen from the outside.
