Sides o' Beef

You may have noticed I enjoy boys with big muscles. They're just so appealing, darn it.

It's no surprise, then, that I wound up on some stupid email list of some stupid body building site that regularly provides me with photos that are supposed to entice me to go pay to view the profiles. The problem lies in the fact that I am not attracted to these guys at all. I do, however, find them sort of funny, in a perverse kind of way.

It's not that "They're too big," as some would squeal. I like big guys. And it's not their bizarre orange hides or the fact that their poses make them resemble reptiles attempting to mate, or even the expressions that imply a lack of fiber in their diets. It's the sum total weirdness, the tout ensemble that so enthralls me. Pictures that make me wonder "Did you actually see these shots before you published them?"

  6. There are (as you would imagine) plenty of these things in West Hollywood. My second thought is always, 'my you've spent many hours and lots of energy on your body'. My first thought is always, 'when's the last time you read a book?'.

In Which We Do Not Age Gracefully

  There are days when waking up takes all the energy I have.  I lie there, nothing more than a lump in bed, and try to bargain with my bladd...
