However, he unquestionably has a badly scarred backside. Asimovian then made it extremely clear that any further discussion of the rebeW should be taken elsehwere. I believe that Broomstick’s spouse has a scar on his ass from a drunken encounter with a barbecue. However I do find it extremely difficult to believe that his ass is actually branded with a readable Weber logo in reverse. But Broomstick did say twice that it’s definitely true…until she said it was just “scarring.” So, **Broomstick** , does your husband have “rebeW” branded on his ass or not? ---

Do tell. I know a guy who has a triangular scar on his ass, where a giant alligator snapping turtle tried to eat him, but “rebeW” would be ever so much cooler. ---

If you feel the need to continue that conversation, take it to a new thread (in an appropriate forum).

Personally, I think Broomstick’s stories are getting more and more out of the realm of possibility. No fucking way her spouse has the Weber logo branded on his ass. I don’t buy the broken femur story either. ---

I’m pretty sure I’m going to regret getting involved in this, but all the Weber charcoal grilles I’ve seen only have the logo on the (insulated) handles. Now, many Weber gas grills have a metal logo that’s in a location that could get hot enough to burn flesh, I guess, but it’s high enough on the grill that I have a hard time visualizing how someone could brand their ass on it without climbing on top of the thing and sitting down. With that said, if this story turns out be a bit of a porky, well, I’ve seen considerably worse. ---
