Perhaps that adds to the elan...I confess that that sort of works for me...then again, when I had an appendectomy 24 years ago, I used to joke that the scar was from my initiation into the fraternity @ Heidelberg.
Not everyone got that, which tickled me!
But, as far as punting goes, you guys make it sound like fun!
My older brother has interests that are not commonplace--he co-authored a book on old sea-chanteys (this was many years ago), has spent much of his adult life fascinated by the history and lore of things maritime, and could provide arcane information on just about anything else.
He also fences, and his son has learned to fence, as well.
I'm not a carbon-copy, but I admire the knowledgeable...when people really know and enjoy their particular areas of expertise, other people get a kick out of it, and sometimes even learn something themselves.
*Sometimes I'm best as audience--just taking it in*
