Perhaps I have stumped the algorithms. Today it tossed hobby horsing at me. Apparently this originated in Finland. Who knew?

I have seen it but I can't believe there are actually dudes that do it. Is that AI?

I suppose it is possible to be AI. There do appear to be other men who participate.
I was simply shocked that this exists...

It's an unfortunate fact of nature that there is a certain percentage of men who like to ride poles.

Maybe not the gayest thing I’ve ever seen, but certainly worthy of honorable mention.

There's a whole subculture of guys - known as bronies, a portmanteau of bro and pony - who not only watch the My Little Pony TV shows, but collect the dolls action figures, go to MLP cosplay conventions, etc., so this is not farfetched at all. A sendup of these men is the Bob's Burgers episode "The Equestranauts", in which they call themselves "Equesticles."

Never used to be able to nap, couldn't sit still long enough anyway, I could see my dad in the house zonked out in a recliner or sofa chair from time to time, get up eat and go to bed....
I can get a nap in now, house cool with AC, in the recliner, NAPCAR race on TV and I'll go into mega deep rem sleep... Wake up in time for the finish and dinner.... Glorious stuff indeed...

Did you just wake up from a nap? I think you meant this post for this thread.

I watched a documentary called "Bronies (followed by some other stuff)" that had a woman who I think was one of the voice actors exploring the brony "culture" (using the word loosely). It got quite weird.
