My occasional but sadly necessary statement of a few facts relating to this blog.

One, I feature people on this blog because I (or others) find them physically attractive and for no other reason.

Two, all the pictures featured here are in the public domain and transloaded onto my webspace to avoid bandwidth theft. If anyone for a valid reason wants a picture removed please Email me.

And to recover from that here's the failed British boyband Upside Down.

The Brokeback Effect?

Elsewhere, US public acceptance of homosexuality has increased says a flawed poll, some bits of totty have near perfect names, what my version of window shopping would be like (number 1 please), Jake Gyllenhaal says 'I started riding and learning how to rope a little bit, and playing with some sheep and that kind of thing' I say 'too easy', is at all likely a straight man designed the costumes for the new X men movie and Alex needs cheering up.

David would like to know the name (since when has that been necessary?) of this Gianni Versace model.

David Alpay is a Canadian actor who has mostly done bit parts in made for TV movies and those mini series in which the world is about to be destroyed and only one scientist who everyone thinks is a crackpot can stop it but has a visually good cast. Fortunately (for him) he got a part in the film Ararat and (for us) he got his kit off more than once.

John wants you after looking at this picture to visit here. Whether you do is really up to you.

I might be mellowing about those bodysuit things that swimmers seem to be unable to swim without but Austrian Markus Rogan looks rather cute in one. Or perhaps it's the come and get me look on his face. While I'm on swimmers here's an American one Daniel Madwed.

By request or more 'why haven't you shown...' here is American speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno shirtless.

You really know that you trainer has given up when this is the wind tunnel, and you are Australian cyclist Nick Ferguson.

Finally via David comes a chance to win this chap (to clean for you) here. Hopefully if you win him you'll act better than the woman in the advert.

Wants

I would like to see American actor Justin Bartha shirtless, but that's just me.

The Scandinavian Hunks [their site] are a Finnish Chippendales clone who dress up like Vikings or cavemen (though not for long) and dance badly while showing off their talents. They may not all be blond fluff but many are even if they are in the background. You can find more pictures of Finnish beef on their site and this site (click on 'galleria').

To carry on the cute son thing here's Mark Friels son of Colin. As I'm on Australians (bah boom) here's Home and Away's Jason Smith actually looking cute and some of the Parramatta Eels rugby team in the pool.

Finally Evan Lysacek who is an American ice skater mostly shirtless.

Hair Trip

Rugby players and their hair (paging Mr Henson) like with Scotland and Northampton's Sean Lamont and his dyed blond near mullet. Well he can get a hair cut I suppose. Also there's Australian rugby player a shirtless Trent Barrett alone and with friends.

From Art comes more of the Games' (C4 version) DJ JK and his instructor doing some rather peculiar (but possibly enjoyable) exercise positions. I wonder why I'm getting ideas?

As I've not posted any AFLers (well they're only playing in that NAB thing) here's the Sydney Swans in (it's amazing how long people can hold their breaths) and out of the water, solo Swan Stephen Doyle in the pool and Hawthorn Hawk Nathan Thompson running shirtless.

I was sent these pictures of US college pole vaulter Tommy Skipper doing his thing in the ugliest uniform I've seen which melds well with these pictures of Flemish pole vaulter Kevin Rans and his lycra filling.

Finally ice skaters Kevin van der Perren and Brian Joubert and their 'modern' costumes.

Sons

As some wanted to know what he looks like here is Sam (son of Richard) Branson modeling.

Canadian actor Nathan Fillion shirtless (no I'm not sure what the scar on his chest is for)and showing the top of his behind is just one of the many reasons to watch the film Serenity. Though Nathan is one of the major reasons to watch it.

English rugby player Ben Cohen gets savaged.

Stanford basketballer (yes basketballer not swimmer) Peter Prowitt with his top off on a number of occasions and more too.

Brother of his royal hairiness Andrea, Pierre Casiraghi with his cute hangers on (and his sister who is physically hanging on).

From the Commonwealth Games that may have finished but I still have pictures from, is Scottish boxer Kenneth Anderson.

And finally American basket baller Patrick Beilein who seems uncomfortable with his shirt shirtless.

How to get some head in advertising

The controversial (because 'bloody' is apparently a naughty word) 'So where the bloody hell are you?' might be seen by the Australian government as a way of attracting visitors to their country but I think I can do better. Just imagine a large billboard with this picture, or this picture, or this picture or this one or finally this one with the words 'Come to Australia' emblazoned on it. Far better than some thin girl spouting silly slogans on a beach. Those pictures and more can be found here.

Here's a picture of American goalkeeper Keith Wiggins.

At the Games (yes I know they've ended) was Mathew Helm, Robert Newberry and the beard hugging. Why Robert (who has a habit of hugging Mathew) wants to look like a Mexican general in a John Wayne film (or why nobody hasn't sent him a razor and some shaving gel) is one of the great unanswered questions of the decade. Another is why when a cute chap like here for example England's Nicolas Buckfield get dressed in tight lycra shorts they are always photographed with a leg blocking the important bits. Well at least some athletes like English runner Nick McCormick (apparently not Scottish) wear AFL length shorts to run in.

I know I'm repeating myself from earlier this year but I still find it amazing that Nigel Mansell managed to produce two cute sons, Leo and Greg. What is not amazing is that I've removed Nigel from the pictures of his sons.

Finally [nudity alert] for some reason (they come from New Zealand?) some New Zealanders decided to go on the beach with a camera crew and play rugby in the nude. This chap and his team won[/nudity alert].

You've got to run

In America there are runners Ryan Hall, Andrew Rock (again), Cory Primm, Robert Curtis, and Phil McMullen, pole vaulter Matt Hemmingway, javelin(er) Breaux Greer and tennis player Robby Ginepri. And to do the East West bit here's Russian Alexandr Ivanov.

Kiwi rugby players doing shirtless ballet or something like that.

German (I think) kick boxer (or that sort of thing) Christian Graugart minus his top.

Try captioning this picture of teenage rugby player Jarrod Mullen and others. And finally today's Sonny Bill Williams photo.

Jesse

With thanks to:

I want to ride my biker...

Sort of keeping up with the occasional Finn pattern I'm setting here is Finnish motorcyclist Mika Kallio [his site] looking good in leather.

Canadian ice dancer Craig Buntin. That's it.

South Africa's Louis van Zyl won a race at the Commonwealth Games and thus celebrated by standing around looking cute. Welsh runner Rhys Williams, not this rugby player, lost in the same race but manages to look equally cute (but more sweaty).

British kick boxer Kieren Kebble lost his match too but managed to look cute in his shorts though.

American pole vaulter (feel free to pun away) Brad Walker with his pole, showing off his underwear and celebrating.

Finally from Pete comes some naked model being a lamp and being a vase. He can be a chair in my house.

Versions

At the games, the C4 version, Adam Rickitt looks gaunt, JK looks well packaged, and wont wear his robe. Thanks Art.

At the other games, the Commonwealth version, Scotland's Adam Cox celebrates, Australian John Thornell flops, Australian swimmer Matt Welsh shows pity, sadly England's Chris Tomlinson keeps his legs together, Canadian diver Alexandre Despatie stretches, a collective noun of swimmers, and by request Canada's David Gill. Jack wanted Australia's Daniel Batman and his trouser snake or snakes.

From Ant comes the Doyle brothers, Keith (L) and Craig (R) shirtless proving that cute brothers go to pot and not so cute ones get fit.

Finally Prison Break's Lane Garrison trying to look mean.

The loins of Ryan

Guess who is in bed with Shawn Pyfrom at 10pm on C4 (in the UK)...

Do I know anyone who does caps of Prison Break? Yes
Do I know anyone who caps CSI NY? Yes
Do I know anyone who caps David DeCoteau epics? Yes

Nik thinks that ski jumper Sven Hannawald is cute, I'm wondering what he just sat down on.

At the Games (Commonwealth not naff C4 ones) Leon Taylor won't be diving so here he is to make up for it, Welsh swimmer David Davies won something, as did Canada's Michael Brown, and Scotland's third Carlson twin Chris Baillie. Kiwi Brent Newdick still has a wonderful name, Gregory Rutherford an interesting bulge as does Robert Tobin (here's how to cut off the best bits of a photo) and Dean Macy no attraction at all even though I've had requests for him shirtless.

The Australian rugby playing Witt brothers, Michael and Steve.

Iain pointed me towards the US navy college gymnasts (here's the army squad if you're interested) like Ty Fritz, Ben Peterman, and Sean Blackman again.

And finally cute criminal (he had a loud party and go 30 days) Mike Herchenbach.

I've been asked to forewarn you that some film (or 'sweeping epic') about cowboys and their mating habits will be out on video and DVD on April 4 in the US (April 24 in the UK).

It's actually worth a watch whatever your sexuality for Heath Ledger's acting and not just because he and Jake make such a cute couple.

Up, up and away

Norwegian ski jumper Bjorn Einar Romoren got/won/did a world record jump [thanks to Fred for that fact and some of the pictures] a few days ago and to celebrate I thought I'd post some pictures of his blond fluffness minus his shirt. For someone whose sport is inherently cold Bjorn does seem to take his top off a great deal. Perhaps that's why he's bulked up a bit. If you like ski jumpers this is the best site for them I've found for them (but it's in Polish).

Fellow Norwegian Patrick Strom also seems to have this shirt off mentality but as he was on their version of Big Brother and now is a TV presenter he had a reason. In fact he's [bit of bits alert] gone further [/bit of bits alert].

At the Commonwealth Games Australian gymnast and alliteration Joshua Jefferis won something and so possibly did fellow Aussie Sam Offord so here he is shirtless just in case. I don't think Thomas Pichler won anything (save a place here) but he has the trainee beard and some good outlines so I'll include him. Here's Canada's David Kikuchi to avoid the 'you only post Australians' Emails.

Finally this model got to dress up in a silly costume and get harassed by females.

Balls

From Fred, my source of all things Viking, comes some players from the Norwegian football team Moss Fotball Klubb who for some reason (probably promotional) got their kits off like Joachim Heier, Per Kristian , Hallvard and Alexander Forsberg and Terje Tangen.

Luke thinks Finnish ski jumper Akseli Kokkonen looks like Canadian actor James Kirk and cute shirtless. I yet again say vive la difference (and if we all liked Justin Timberlake he'd have a reason to sing that high).

Now to the Commonwealth Games, and let's start with some swimmers. The English swim team have been winning stuff as has the Scottish one (no they haven't been too near a Russian nuclear reactor it's the camera angle). That is not because of, as Pete has tried to persuade me, Ian Thorpe's 'flu' as Australian swimmers like Matthew Cowdrey and Eamon Sullivan have won stuff. Perhaps it's because of my desire to see blond fluff like David Carry or not so blond fluff Chris Cook and James Gibson sans their tops off. I am not making this up but here is Kiwi athlete Brent Newdick gets interviewed. Canadian gymanst Nathan Gafuik might warrant a caption. More of Scottish cyclist Ross Edgar with his teammates.

Finally French gymnast Pierre Yves Beny strains.

The Empire streaks back

Regardless of which country you are from in the Commonwealth Games there are some people you hope win just so they get interviewed (hopefully wearing little). This is something like anti American bias you can always rely on the BBC for. You can see their interviewer hovering until the swimmer takes off his swimsuit top and then they're in for the kill. I thought I heard one of them commenting on the English swimmers behinds but I may be mistaken (or thinking wishfully). Two examples of this cute so should strip are English medal winning swimmer Simon Burnett and Aussie Kendrick Monk. In fact if you are not noseaphobic many members (James Gibson and Chris Cook) of the English swimming team (Cook and Darren Mew) has a lot to offer. The South Africans have their moments like Lyndon Ferns. Elsewhere the New Zealand swimming team do that Maori war dance thingy (dances being oh so effective against rifles) that is supposed to scare people. And there was I thinking only people in the Mid West were scared by half naked chaps. Thanks again for Telespy letting me borrow his caps.

Cyclists come the nearest to being naked when completely covered and here to prove my point is Welshman Geriant Thomas. Cuter but equally revealing is Australia's Ben Kresten who did a lap of honour just in case you didn't get a good enough look first time. Some cyclists like Scotland's Ross Edgar are more modest whilst others though limited show off like Sean Finning.

Is this the Canadian gym team or a good night in? Discuss.

Now this may (or may not) be a moving Matthew Lloyd from Essendon AFL club but it might just work for me because it's in some cache so here's what it should look like.

Sonny Bill Williams may have a name that sounds like he should be a country star of the 1950s but he's actually a cute rugby player.

Finally borrowed from the Dreamcaps forum Chris Carmack acting [with] his top off. More of his ummm acting here.

Games

To catch up I'm going to concentrate on the Commonwealth Games, so if that's not your thing why not?

Starting with gymnastics there is the Welsh (in the 'It's Saint Patrick's Day so I'm Irish' way) David Eaton who regular readers will know likes to pull faces [more David 1 and 2] , as does Kiwi Mark Holyokee, Scotland's Adam Cox, who looks oddly like England's Kristian Thomas (who has a welsh name), Michael Cosgrave of Northern Ireland concentrates, while South Africa's Gerhard Swiegers tells his coach 'not tonight', and Canadian Nathan Gafuik works his cotton socks off, bless (and for those who moan he may look younger but he's 21). As an aside to ponder is the vast range of positions gymnasts are limber enough to get into enough to make up for them all being about 4 foot tall? Discuss. 3,000 words, extra marks of diagrams.

English swimmer Liam Tancock (now there's a surname that must have an interesting origin) won medals, Australian Eamon Sullivan in speedos, and South Africans Lyndon Ferns and Ryk Neethling look happy together.

Finally from Martin comes today's random cute guy.

Art

From Arthur comes Third Wish weren't good on the looks or talent (my opinion), are 'Pop Disasters' and on the '20 Bad Boybands' show, this chap 'looks like Hugh Grant' , and his cloudiness Daniel Campos really should invest in some old woman repellent and a better stylist.

And now the Commonwealth Games section...

David Carry of Scotland won some swimming race probably beating fellow blond Kenrick Monk and fake blond but speedo wearing Moss Burmester. Now after pondering did their parents give them those names because of bets, here's the boringly named Cameron Gibson and Jim Piper.

On the rugby field and sadly not in speedos is English player Daniel Care.

By request here's English diver Tony Ally in speedos who I'll file under 'I don't get it'.

A lot more reasons the British Empire was a good idea coming.

Finally Jack's entry for today's random cute guy.

Hair, there and everywhere

It has been suggested (unfairly I think) that I concentrate far too much on 'the smooth' as if body hair was yet another thing to separate the species over. Now AFL (yes I do concentrate a lot on them) Scott Stevens does have hair as does fellow AFLers Chad Fletcher (umm strokable) and Nick Stevens (though he's covered up (and with Billy Slater)) while others like Nathan Ablett don't. So there.

Does Australian swimmer Ashley Callus have a speed bump [cheers Michael]? Kiwi swimmer Dean Kent has a speed ummm pimple, English rugby player has a speed mountain though.

AFLers Jude Bolton only just wearing shorts, and Ben 'would never DUI' Cousins lies around while rugby players Matt Giteau gets binned and Tamati Ellison throws.

Finally Italian tennis player Filippo Volandri models.

Blond Fluff

Thomas Blaschek

Jake McDorman

Cheers to Paul and David.

Mr Brown

One of the good things about running a blog is that you can post pictures like the above of AFLer Campbell Brown for no other reason than you want to. More photos of Campbell in varying stages of dress and undress can be found here.

Madison pointed me towards this Russian pop star...upside down L a squiggle e p e reversed r...who shows his Western counterparts up in the taking kit off stakes.

As odd as it sounds I've now met three people who don't know who Jesse Spencer is and one of them was Australian. That of course allow me to post some pictures of him younger and older.

Kiwi rugby player Tom Learoyd is 'a Maroon'. I must have missed that at slang class. Billy Slater is just cute (though not to Eric who emails me about it every time I feature Billy (he is on AOL which explains a lot)) as is his team mate James Aubusson.

German hurdler Thomas Blaschek is developed.

Finally Jonathan Chase is an bit actor...and American...

Vamping

I will in due course be totally revamping my links as they haven't been updated longer than a Lachey marriage so if you want your site, blog, or long rant about how talented Paul Walker is as an actor email me and I'll consider including it. General rule, it has to be PG or below and not advocate anything odd.

I'm also behind in my email so if you sent me stuff for the blog (you wonderful, wonderful people) et al I'm not ignoring you.

Scottish runner Chris Baillie shows where Aussie Rules shorts go in the off season.

Nathan Wade Bracken is an Australian cricketer so unlike an English contemporary isn't overweight and happily frolics in the sea. Now while frolicing in water is almost high culture for Australia (don't get upset Australians you know it's true) it should still be encouraged. Aussie Rules players like Western Bulldog Ryan Griffen do it too (spot the staged shot that took ages to get 'right'). Others like Tom Davidson don't require the medium of water for their shirtlessness and some like Brodie Holland even do it on stage (though Brodie takes his top off for the slightest reason). Some Australians are naughty though like Blake Grima and Ed McDonnell (it's not as if the other Saints don't get their kits off) and stay covered. All I can say is at least the rugby players like Stuart Webb (I hope his hand is bigger than it looks) and swimmers like Grant 'thighs' Hackett help out.

Finally today's random cute basketballer from somewhere 'j' is a vowel Vedran Vukusic.

Dan

Models

English rugby player Will Matthews joins the stripping French players and strips.

Again from Arthur and Italian TV is a bit of modeling fluff called Gabriel who shows of his front and behind and uncovered behind.

A hairy and shirtless German volleyballer Kjell Schneider.

From here comes butch bits of bodybuilding modeling fluff showing off their bodies in what looks like a posing pouch.

British speed skater Jon Eley in his kit.

Minus Ian 'I'm straight I am' Thorpe who has 'flu' the Australian swimming team modeling their Commonwealth Games kit.

Enjoy.

Changes

As is the power of the blog Mr green shorts for a week changed them to a lemon yellow pair (and lay on a rock ledge all spread out) on my last day. Or perhaps he got his washing machine mended.

There is nothing I am so sure of as my capacity at times to do silly things but if I was famous, and invited some 'fans' back for you know what I wouldn't allow a video camera to film it, well not unless I wanted the publicity. Publicity or stupidity has thus produced a video of Kid Rock and Scott Stapp (lead singer of God squad band Creed) getting pleasured. Perhaps though if American (but tried to be famous in Germany) boyband Fource had done such a video they might have had some success. I suspect though that their was a failure of management as if you are going to stand around in water doing so fully clothed is a tad silly. Sad though as this bit of blond fluff is quite cute (though to cheer me up Muchy has a video of him shirtless (see Links section)).

The winter Olympics might be over (but it doesn't stop me linking here) but the Commonwealth Games will be here soon and someone might explain why they find Michael Klim attractive.

Manhunt is back and in Australia (like older chaps dressing up as lifesavers) so if you are cute expect to be voted off for some plastic fantastic, but then again you can always get work on TV. This picture off a buff chap in his pants is relevant to Manhunt some way but I'm too tired to work out how.

Also in Australia is baby bomber Matthew Firman [cheers Val].

Arthur Italian Parris T who was featured from in front and behind on Italian tv channel LEONARDO tv. I think he's a model from Manchester.

Hawkish

As I recover from jet lag (and Scott Capurro and his tall dark friend being on my plane (in econmy no less)) here's Australian swimmer, Brett Hawke.

Flying News



Just wanted top use that title

Rambling

There is something about a smooth tanned body that kind of lets you excuse an average face and sadly I've seen a few. The really cute chap who comes dowm to the South end of Mona Vale beach about 1pm most weekdays may be cute (think Beau Brady) but he's worn the same green shorts for over a week... He did shout 'f*ck me' once rather loudly. Nobody took him up on his offer.

Tempted by Ryan Fitzgerald of Big Brother Australia 'fame' and the promise of AFL and NRL players in 'tight shorts' I watched some pants TV game show last night. Big let down, but then again Return of the Jedi (or clunky effects) was on too. You'll never guess who Luke's father is.
