I have little doubt trouble coming to the opinion that you dance around your house in women’s lingerie like Buffalo Bob himself. They might have in fact based the character upon you.

From Wikipedia:

Projection

Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings.[1] Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.

An example of this behavior might be blaming another for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by redirecting libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or "projecting," those same faults onto another person or object. The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud—in his letters to Wilhelm Fliess, '"Draft H" deals with projection as a mechanism of defence'[2]—and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud, why it is sometimes referred to as Freudian projection.[3]

You certainly have a vivid (if overtly gay) fantasy life.

I know humblegunner. Humblegunner is a friend of mine. I have been to his house, and a manlier manor I have never seen.

How many other men to you dream of in ladies’ underwear? That is just plain sick.
