Working class, ex armed forces, Vietnam vet, beer and bourbon drinker, definitely not a vegetarian, married and divorced, poorly educated, no trade, racist, gun lover, lives close to where he was born.
Too fat to do up his own laces.
Just guessing.

Tom
I should be charging you money for catering to your shallow character. When you sit down at your keyboard to indulge in contemptuous sarcasm is it just something you do to pass the time after a couple of drinks too many or is it something you do in a sober condition?

Talk about a brain ****-up! It's hard enough to concentrate with a alphanumeric title but now I have to boot out Tom Dinnings nefarious racist character and attempt some anthropological re-enactment of this picture without such blatant distraction and assault.
So here we go!
This fellow works hard every day providing good food for the locals. He obeys the City Health codes for food preparation and doesn't touch his shoe laces once he starts work! He's friendlier than the bike tattoos suggest and doubtless is a super grandfather, now his biker days are behind him and he has settled down.

Asher I think you're overreacting a tad here.
You were happy to make a call on the dandy physicist's sexual orientation (I think that's fine btw) and a few other things besides.
James is offering up some lovely portraits, most of which appear almost as caricatures which leads us to ask the questions about their lives and interests.
I reckon Tom's observations are probably mostly accurate.
I was happy to make broad assumptions about the "clever cowboy".
Are we all overstepping the mark? I don't think so.
As to Tom's sarcastic streak, you need to remember that Aussies of a certain vintage have certain birthrights (well birth rituals really) After the quack (don't worry Asher it's an affectionate term) slaps us on the arse, they get the scalpel out, no, not necessarily for circumcision, that's optional, more for pressing matters such as surgical implantations.
First they whack in a big slice of sarcasm, this is not taken lightly and is always complemented with a big (bigger) slice of self deprecation. Next they find room for a big warning and alert system, it's called a wanker radar and it never fails, it works for your entire life, so much so that when working in tandem with the self deprecation tool, it's quite common for Aussie blokes to admonish themselves in the mirror most mornings
" look at you, ya big tosser!" for example.
This is an extremely valuable surgical implant, stops most of us from going insane.
We don't actually get a sense of humour implanted, this one you either have or not. If you do have one, we get a set of upgrades including irony, pathos, and ability for puns and double entendres.
Anyway, as I said, I think it's OK to look at James' image of the "Clever cowboy" and have one's wanker alarm go off like there's no tomorrow.
I do also know that Tom for all his (self aware) faults (pick your own expletives here), may be fattist, prattist and wankist - is not actually racist. Staunchly not so.

Andy,
The "racist" term is not applicable to Tom himself, he's above that, I am certain, but the carriacature of this obese short order cook included that quality!
As to Tom's Aussi, Northern Territory Outaback intelligence, it is quite complex, (wrapped on an over-hostile, prankish tongue in cheek attitude), but in reality he's an acute observer of life and regularly tells everyone, himself included to ****-off!
On the right day his work, comments and humor are a splendid treat! On other days he can pee on the guests' sandwiches, which, while for sure antisocial, is no existential threat!

Sorry Asher, I misunderstood, I thought you were referring to Tom's own character not his summation of the subject.

One can easily be so mad at him that "racist" would be a compliment! At those times when he's really destructive no carnal term would be too much as he becomes the devil incarnate!
At his more refreshing moments he's a pretty smart and engaging fellow that I like.
