I think that the studious (NPI[1]) avoidance of any photos of people from
any of our meets should give the lie to the thought that we are paragons of
male form. OTOH we are all pretty keen on Lego (even those of us that sully
themselves by consorting with other brands).
I'd be quite happy to declare you a geographically challanged STUD (a lost
STUD?) but that may be seen as poaching on other people's territory. What do
the Bris/Qld lego people call themselves again?
