How to recognize a friend:
I went out and fought a hard day of Amtgard today.
My back was notably unhappy about that.
So I said to my friend Rant (at the park) and
spar30(later at the fast-food place), "dude, don't be perverted about this, but rub my back *here*" and I guided their hands to that place on the outside of my upper hip and lower back. Like my lower back like below the waist-band of my pants, lower.
And they both did it.
And neither was perverted about it.
I gots friends. :)
