A Baseball Bat and No Shirt Required

Our day of celebrating America’s Supposedly Favorite Past-time continues (with a jock shot coming up soon…) In honor of that, a few baseball quotes, and this silly shirtless photo shoot. What would Yogi Berra say about all of this? We’ll never know…

“Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can’t get you off.” ~ Bill Veeck

“There is no room in baseball for discrimination. It is our national pastime and a game for all.”Â ~ Lou Gehrig

Stay tuned,Â because in the next postÂ I’m going to slip into something appropriate for the game – like this ridiculous jock strap. Hey, if I can do it for the Super Bowl, I can do it for the World Series. (I probably shouldn’t be doing it at all, but anything for the fans. Oh, and if you’re interested in purchasing this now that I’ve worn it, hit me up with an offer. There’s nothing more American than that. Where’s Pete Rose when you need him?)

Worse for Sunday Wear

The Sunday morning after a fun weekend in Boston is often a rough time. Especially when it’s pouring rain.

If I hadn’t had to get back to upstate NY, I would have climbed back into bed with a book.

Instead I showered, got dressed, and hit the road – happy about none of it.

That Big Dick

â€œThere are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody’s expense but his own.â€

~ Herman Melville, ‘Moby-Dick’

Let’s Hear It For the Boy Culture

One of my favorite websites recently got a little make-over, so head on over to Boy Culture to see the new digs. That’s where you can find gems like this Zac Efron GIF that I find simply mesmerizing, and a Nightly Briefing that is simply essential.

Sexiest Sunday Post Ever

Meet male model Joseph Sayers, whom I recall from an ‘xy magazine’ spread he did about 15 years ago. He’s aging much better than me, but rather than envying that I’m going to be happy for him. It’s always nice to see someone from xy make something out of their life. [See: Benoit Denizet-Lewis.]

But enough of my blabbering…

What would you do for an uncropped version?

Jesse Metcalfe in His Underwear

This is Jesse Metcalfe, newly of ‘Dallas’ fame, formerly of ‘Desperate Housewives’ fame, neither of which I ever watched. Well, the original ‘Dallas’, yes. But that was then and this is now and my tastes have evolved from the fake dramatic to the real dramatic (hello ‘Real Housewives’).

There has been much criticism of Mr. Metcalfe’s “man-boobs”, which I find rather distasteful. The criticism that is. I haven’t tasted the other.

Check out our other Shirtless Male Celebrity posts here.

Ben Cohen’s Underwear Video

Because he’s even better in motion. One day soon I’ll do a serious Ben Cohen write-up, on all the amazing work he and his StandUp Foundation do to combat bullying. Today, however, I’m too tired to do anything but watch him get dirty, work up a sweat, and take off his clothes for a calendar shoot.

A Political Party in my Pants

The only thing I’m endorsing in this photo is Hugo Boss underwear. Purple plaid will always get my vote.

PS – If you don’t vote, you’re going to get a spanky. [Cut.]

Prickly Poser

I’d apologize for another porny post to promote The Pictures page, but that’s not my style. Plus, it seems to be pissing some people off, so… Bonus! (Wait until you see tomorrow’s posts…) I’ve been feeling a little prickly of late, and not in the mood for confidences. In honor of that, a visual to prick your interest.

This was taken on one of our October excursions to Maine, when the seed pods of all those plants that flowered throughout the summer come into prominence. Vessels of future life, they hold the promise of another summer – a promise we will cling to when the winds of winter kick up and the snows of the season begin to arrive. Â

If that doesn’t work, there’s always the option of cracking open the world and the whiskey to get through the day. And a night like this.

â€œWhiskey, like a beautiful woman, demands appreciation. You gaze first, then it’s time to drink.â€ ~ Haruki Murakami

â€œSome of us look for the way in opium and some in God, some of us in whisky and some of us in love. It is all the same way and it leads nowhither.â€ ~ W. Somerset Maugham

What Are You Looking At?

Picture pages, picture pages, lots of fun with picture pages, lots of fun with crayons and pencils… As you hopefully will have noticed if you’ve been following the trajectory of construction on this website, we’ve finally gotten The Pictures portal up and active, so I invite you to have a look-see. It was a 1:30 AM night that involved some gin and some beer and some very dear friends which is why the time flew by. Many thanks to Sherri and Webmaster Skip for their hospitality and help.

Â Speaking of Webmaster Skip, he’s got a new site for his services at iwonderhowmuch.com, so if you’re looking for someone to transform your mediocre site into something fabulous, something exciting, Â something to set you apart from the crowd, give him a whirl. Not only does he have a knack for knocking out amazing stuff, he’s also hugely fun to work with. (How many midnight hot dog runs has your Webmaster made with you?) All joking aside, he’s the reason this site has come so far in such a short time. It’s sometimes risky working with friends, but Skip has always been professional in dealing with my demands. And God knows, I can be demanding.

There is still some work to be done on this site (so I ask you to stay tuned in the coming weeks and months while we get it into pristine shape for our tenth anniversary next year), but if you think back to the antiquated shambles this place was just a few short weeks ago, the progress is astounding. For all of it, I have to give the credit to Skip. When I was unsure about something, or doubted which way to turn, he always offered the most perfect and elegant solution, and when I needed someone to focus things and remind me of what was important, he was the sounding board to keep us on track. Sometimes it helps to have a straight guy for the queer eye.Â And regarding that queer eye, I offer the photos you see here, and many, many more now up at The Pictures.
