Is that a confirmation? We all know each team in the PRU has a gay boy on it. This guy in particular gets his rocks off in NYC, then plays it straight in DC. Talk about schitzophrenia.

Yes, gay rugby teams tend to be very popular with the 'bear' crowd, and is fast becoming a requirement for bearhood. You don't actually have to play, just say you like it and hang out at the socials. Meanwhile, skinny little guys like jimbo are actually playing.

closetedrugbystud, has anyone dissected this name yet? Someone spent some time coming up with this handle...why closeted? why rugby? why stud? Closeted is sooo 1990's, and saying makes it irrelevant, i think. Rugby, rugby is sooo 1930's, and using it in a handle is highly pretensious, as it is likely meant to promote an imagine of masculinity that the user aspires to, rather than is. Stud, is something one does with horses and is a most menial and demeaning way to referto oneself, I think. So why choose these names? Self-hatred, self-conscious, and self-destructive---JIMBO, I am sorry you even bothered talking to this guy, it makes you out for gullible...

I changed his AOL screen name to protect the innocent, or closeted innocent as it is. This morning, in a rare display of compassion, I removed the hyperlink I had on his pseudonym that led directly to his bigmuscle.com homepage.
