hahaha... man, I'm tryin' to see a patern in those that I consider close friends... some are hunters, some are anti-hunting intellects... some are athletes, some couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper sack

I'd say one thing we all share in common, would be the fact that we share a passion of some sort... be it hog hunting, surfing, freediving... all of my friends "are" because we have had the chance to bond while "doing something" relatively extreme...
A "necessity" to create true friendship? For me it would seem...
