Where's the beef?

With each passing day I'm getting more comfortable with the nickname "Beef" and it scares me. I mean, what if I'm stuck with this nickname for the rest of my life? If henceforth I'm referred to as a slab of meat, I just don't know what I'll do.

Where'd this nickname come from anyway? I blame Jonny Mo and the G's in events (Stevie & Colin that is). Clearly they are the three that perpetuate this nickname of mine. If anyone should have the nickname "Beef" it's Jonny Mo & Andrew for the massive amounts of man-thigh they showcase every week. I don't show thigh, I don't have udders, and I'm not black & white - why am I "Beef"?

I laugh a little when I remember that two years ago I was quoted on the IVCF website as saying, "It's not good if you don't have beef" and "I have to go talk to the meaty people". It's as if I was being set up for this nickname.

I'd never have imagined that the name "beef" was in the stars for me, but I guess I'll learn to love it. There are worse nicknames out there, right? Heck, at least my name isn't "Mammoth"......
