In my case, it is referred to as a loaf of bread with veins. ---

Now I’d like to Google up a real moose’s knuckle so I can see if it looks like the human counterpart, but I ain’t gonna do it at work, no sir. ---

Depending on the guy I would call it either gross or an invitation. YMMV. ---

[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] OK, I have to ask now (re: TronGuy pix): WTF is wrong with his ass in that picture? It looks as if there’s a third butt cheek right in the middle, or as if he took a shit in it, maybe having mistaken it for his Fremen stillsuit costume. It’s the exact opposite of a moose knuckle; while the one is a crevice where no crevice should be, the other is a protuberance where there _should be_ a crevice. :mad: [/QUOTE] There’s nothing wrong with his ass. It’s just that he doesn’t carry much fat on his ass, and he’s clenching his glutes, which makes the muscles stand out more. The “third butt cheek” is the small amout of fat that’s on the inside bottom of his buttocks. ---

Hmmm…see, I _wanna_ like “mooseknuckle”, but according to [UrbanDictionary.com](http://UrbanDictionary.com), it generally [refers to a cameltoe (usually large)](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mooseknuckle&r=f). True, one of the definitions refers to the male utilities, but most of them refer to women’s bits. 😕 ---

**Spy** magazine had a semi-regular feature consisting of pix of [usually B- and C-level] male celebrities called “Man At His Best”. Sometimes you could tell what religion the guy was. (Well, almost.) ---
