OK, here are my funky credentials:-
1. I do indeed have long hair and it's tightly curly. That might not sound funky but I can back-comb it to get the biggest white guy 'fro you've ever seen.
2. I used to play in a funk-rock band in the early 90s. We covered the theme tune from Hong Kong Fuey.
3. My fashion sense has never progressed beyond the 70s. I typically wear boot cut jeans and mambo really loud shirts.
4. I'm a keen climber. Climbing is a sport in which you sweat alot, don't wear socks (you can't feel the rock as well) and don't wash your shoes because it can distort the shape. My climbing shoes are funky beyond belief. People have been known to refuse to get into my car if I've had my gear in there because it's just too funky.
5. My climbing buddies have nicknamed me Disco Dec. They say it's because I'm prone to tension wobbles causing my legs to gyrate like Elvis during difficult moves. I maintain it's just my latent funkiness exhibiting itself. Mind you, they've also nicknamed me Uncle Fiddle Fingers. They say this is a referenceto my guitar playing and I'm happy to accept that explanation as the alternative is less than palatable.
6. I've been known to get on down like a sex machine but these days I'm finding it increasingly difficult to get on up like one.
7. My favourite posession is a device for opening locks. It's a fun key.
Does that answer the question, Morbo?
