Down Under and in

It has been said that I imply that the only thing of value that comes out of Australia is its totty. I'm not sure why exactly that is a bad thing so I Googled Australian inventions and got a rotary clothes line. Any of our Australian visitors do better (or know what's wrong with having the highest totty per capita on the planet)?

The plainly beautiful Oscar Peppitt showing some flesh. Also in the Australian modeling theme are Tom Mitchell, Steve Merrett shirtless, Nicholas Cobb looking blond and hairy, Kenneth Beck is hot and cold, Shad Everett hairier, Sam Mendelsohn shaved, Richard Clifton Smith snarls, and Louis Shearer works on himself.

I have been asked for a shirtless picture of British actor Christian Coulson, but have yet to be successful. To make up for it and because I don't think it's possible to tire looking at him and it here's Paul Telfer's chest.

In mid domestic with an Australian female friend about how odd gay men's taste is I was asked which Sydney Swan I thought was the most attractive. I replied probably Darren Jolly (not the greatest picture) while she liked Jared Crouch. He though based on requests the top four are in order Ben Cousins, Jordan Lewis, Marc Murphy and Trent Croad (though in fairness that might have something to do with me posting a lot of pictures of him). Close runners up are Mark McVeigh, and Heath Black. So perhaps taste just varies.

I finish with something oddly appealing, Shane Rodney's behind. Now that's high culture.

Sayings

'Wayne Rooney is playing today.' 'That's why you came'. The things you hear on the BBC.

Former AFLer and now model Luke Speers was simply far too pretty to risk injury even when he's modeling hideous swimming trunks. Luke, who has been on book covers, is often used as a body model and sometimes they go to extremes not to show his face.

Kiwi rugby player Timothy Bateman runs, and swimmer Cameron Gibson puffing.

Junior English rugby players Danny Care and Andrew Saul.

Jake Wall, Australian model and 'actor', who does shirtless solo or in a group. Other Australian models include Chad Kendrick who is not the love child of Justin Chatwin and Greg Vaughan but he's still cute, Daniel Valewink and his quiff, Jason Caselton looking blond, and Charlie Mortimer looking pretty.

Finally from Adam comes Aussie rugby player Dave Horton.

Freedom Files

The ACLU (see important people do Email me) would like you to watch their television series, the Freedom Files which starts on Court TV today.

From me to be advertising something from the ACLU it must be worth a watch.

Black Plastic Shorts

A reminder for those in the UK that Flash Gordon is on at 3:35pm on ITV1.

There is one of those clever responses (you know the ones you think of 24 hours after the event) that you are supposed to say to bits of fluff that tell you they act, model, present, etc, etc, 'At which restaurant?' For Australian Alex Bruszt that might be a tad unfair as in between modeling he is a TV presenter and he was on Home and Away (but then again hasn't every actor in Australia?) More Alex on Aussielicious. Also modeling in Australia (which going by what you see on the beaches must be a packed market) are Ben Hewlett and the wonderfully named Ben Finger. The Bens Finger and otherwise mark the start of a little investigation (hence these models having Christian names beginning with a and b) into Down Under models. At least Ben H is happy about that.

It's the start of the cycling season (who knew they had a season?) so we'll more than likely get to see more of what Tom Boonen keeps in his shorts.

Here's some requests answered AFLer Matt Maguire shirtless (he had his shirt ripped off, no really), New Zealand swimmer Cameron Gibson, and US gymnast Justin Springs. Before asking for anything if you could Google the person's name plus 'Tottyland' it saves us all time. If you are looking for Kevin McDaid or Thierry Pepin activities as porn stars I couldn't possibly tell you where to look.

Finally Sonny Bill William in an odd position.

Tasted

Some people may have noticed I have an idiosyncratic taste in people I would like to you know a number of times you know where and afterwards we might have sex. Too prove the point I quite like some of these geeks. To add to that point I quite like American actor Lee Pace even when people take pants pictures of him.

Now to spoil the image totally with blond Australia model Nick Potts minus his shirt but plus a female. You can find more of Nick at his modeling site.

Lane Garrison is in Prison Break and apparently straight (and just likes the look of that jacket). OK before you moan I know odd clothes in LA is the norm but I can still speculate.

The son of thing continues with Jason, so on you know, Connery being tortured by a torch. 'Tell us what we want to know Jason or next time we'll use a bedside lamp...'

Tommy Haas the German tennis player has decided to train without his top on and in tight shorts. That's good of him. Andrew Murray, as good as it is to see a Scot do well, please keep the shirt on.

Finally two bits of London Waspic beef Eoin Reddan, and James Haskell.

'They have websites, and they publish magazines with pictures'

We have 'have organizations for homosexuals' which apparently is really, really bad (as is sleeping), Switzerland is showing off its totty to give the football widows something (or someone) to do on match days, the cult of strange dancing continues, the fun continues in Kentucky, and some people just want to spoil it for everyone.

As it seems popular (possibly because of the image of a Tove and Hayden sandwich) here's Ethan son of Jackson, Browne. Thanks to John for pointing me in Ethan's direction.

American college gymnasts are a good source of totty (think the Yukon in the 1870s) and their trouser thingys show things like with Wes Aderhold, Grant Osborne, Jake Messina, and Jon Horton. The only real difficulty is like Jon they're mostly about two foot high. To make up for that you know that they are limber, come in various hair colours, and aren't against to wearing AFL length shorts or below. Their names if you are interested are in the filename.

From Ian comes more picture of now Croatian swimmer Duje Draganja in the flesh so to speak/type.

This picture of Essendon AFLer David Hille gives Sean and me ideas. Another Sean likes Australian rugby players shirtless like Shaun Berrigan.

Finally Home and Away's Mark Furze has bought a flat in Collaroy. Who said the pretty always had taste?

Bigotry Kentucky Style

It seems that being gay can get you expelled from the University of the Cumberlands, Williamsburg, Kentucky.

Andy has more on it.

Road King

Midnight Lounge has an interview with him above Road Ruler Dan Dias.

As I've covered US swimmer Ryan Lochte and his 'sadly shaven pits' here's some more swimmers from our North American colonies, Randall Bal (and someone I don't know the name of), Chip Peterson in black speedos (the male equivalent of the little black dress possibly), Terry Silkatis and Matt Grevers sadly wear shorts over lycra, and Nick Brunelli does beef.

I don't know who Paul Michael Robinson is or why he was eating cake wearing only a speedo on Sabrina the Teenage Witch (or why Nate Richert couldn't have done it). Borrowed from here.

David Tom is apparently an American soap actor and just dressed up as a bad porn movie extra. Bruce Hall and Jesse Metcalfe aren't dressed in much.

Sean kindly sent me these pictures of AFLers Matt Maguire (I wonder what's causing his shorts to rise) and proving he has taste Trent Croad. I'm going to contribute Chris Tarrant, Darren Jolly being played with, and Jarrad Waite nearly showing off.

Finally Kevin McKidd and James Purefoy (I think) in bed together from the film Bedrooms and Hallways.

In Tove

I'm going to be generous and let anyone who wants have Hayden while I stick with his older brother Tove. You can of course make your own mind up about the Christensen brothers to pick but I'm going for the one on the left...or both.

Though it wont work it's hard not to move your head to get a better look down French tennis player Richard Gasquet's shorts.

Croatian (via Qatar) swimmer Duje Draganja (imagine owning the 'j' concession in Croatia) shirtless by a swimming pool (never thought you'd find a swimmer there (save us from predictable photographers)).

If you like them boy next doorish here is ice hockey player Matt Carle.

Finally AFLer Jess Sinclair, Jonathan Brown shirtless, Steven Dodd nearly giving a good view, and Patrick Bowden trying to look hard and shirtless with his brother (and friend).

Just Jared

It's good to see them using all Jared Padalecki's talents [from here]:

I wonder if I can persuade Dean and Sam that there is a demon in my bed and it can only be killed by naked men.

Morgan sent me Sean, son of Rod, Stewart to continue my cute son of theme. He does nothing for me.

To continue another theme here's more of US gymnast Steve McCain shirtless and as they're linked here's Todd Thornton strutting his shirtless stuff with Blaine Wilson plus one.

The Manly Sea Eagles train partially shirtless.

American swimmer Ryan Lochte shirtlessly (down below) and Italian swimmers celebrate. They have swimmers in Brazil too.

Sean kindly sent me Essendon AFler David Hille playing with long hard poles, Geelong's David King and today's random cute guy.

With thanks to:

Filmed

David Alpay plays Raffi in the rather heavy but good film Ararat (genocide, suicide and drug smuggling all in one film). He spends most of the first part of the film without his top on
looking pretty while trying to act (it was his first film and he seemed to think he had to be expressive). His amateurness wouldn't have shown up that badly if he hadn't had a lot of scenes up against Christopher Plummer or Elias Koteas (no that's not Christopher Meloni's brother). When he was acting with his psychotic painting slashing drug growing step sister he wasn't that bad. In the looking cute while spread out on a bed category in the Oscars (it might win back some ratings if it did that) he'd win.

Stuart Townsend is not just Mr Theron but looks cute even when he's shaven and covered in white body make up.

Finally by a number of requests here's US gymnast Steve McCain in and out of his gymnastics kit though if they keep putting him in tops like this no wonder he takes it off. I'm sure his popularity has nothing to with his ability to do this.

Sprint

Some requests AFL player Ben Johnson and horror movie star Dylan Edrington almost shirtless twice.

More of Kiwi rugby player Sonny Bill Williams training shirtless, as he does and Australian rugby player Tim Smith minus his shirt.

From up north comes naked blond fluff Lars Erik [more here] and equally nude but hairier Vegard Johan Eimind [more here]

Random American college swimmers (that's colleges from America not necessarily the swimmers), and Australian swimmer Justin Norris. On the watersports (behave) theme here's Australian water polo player with unfortunate name Michale Pfeiffer.

Finally random cute guy that Corbis got to be 'a swimmer' and thus stand around in speedos in odd poses.

Now the people I'm only 0.19 more attracted to...

Continuing the son of theme I've been developing here's Sean 'son of James Bond' Brosnan who seems to want to smoke and be a shirtless model at the same time. Sean has gone from smooth to hairy.

This is Chris Cuiscier (no idea who or what he is) in a kilt. All I can say is I'm glad I'm a Lowland Scot.

Kiwi rugby player Sonny Bill Williams points and shows off his pits (which I've been asked for more of) at the same time.

The Aussie Rules section starts with blond fluff Bernie Vince does the can can with a friend, Heath Black seems to be suggesting something, and by request former Essendon player James Davies ball on ball.

And finally Damon's choice for random cute guy (who seems to be called Johnson) and my choice (his is probably better for those who like AnFers).

Don't tell

Is BBC kid's TV homophobic? Some people think it is. While the BBC seems to airbrush out the homophobic aspects of bullying stories it probably has more to do with their silly belief that homosexuality is an 'adult' issue than hate and presenting being gay as problem is the industry standard. At least they don't have the heavy dramatic music they use on Australian TV that accompanies someone coming out.

By request comes Kiwi basketballer Casey Frank who doesn't seem to take a good picture if you know what I mean and British golfer Nick Dougherty.

As BJ kindly sent me this picture of AFLer David Dwyer I thought I would compliment him with bit of beef Jamie Charman and his armpit.

Gymnasts seem to have a need to train without their tops on as evidenced by America's Paul Hamm who seems to be a big boy (as possibly is his teammate Todd Thornton) and Canada's Nathan Gafuik. And it's not just gymnasts Andy Roddick does it too.

Kiwi actor in Australia mid 20s playing mid teens Khan Chittenden shirtless with and without chest hair.

Finally some a random cute shirtless wig wearing rugby supporter and his two plain mates (who says only girls do that). Perhaps England's Matthew Tait has spied him.

Silly Names

Only Tony Blair could think 'Soca' is a good name for a police force and not perfect material for punning, Justin is on a road trip to every 50 States of the US (and he's quite cute), blond fluff, just imagine what this would look like if the picture was taken from a different angle, Brazilian lifts are just more fun, and people say I do bad puns.

Art capped Jeff Fahey shirtless in Lawnmower Man. I've never understood why Jeff had to look like a 1970s porn star in the film.

Is it unfair to think his speedo wearing hairiness Ian 'straight boy' Thorpe looks remarkably gay in this picture?

Hairy German beach volleyballer Kjell Schneider and his teammate Julius Brink [their site] and their varying amounts of chest hair from high to low.

Who said photographers are inventive? When they wanted to photograph US skier Bode Miller and South African swimmer Ryk Neethling so they used the same pose.

This is why I think going commando if you are a rugby player like David Strettle is vital.

Finally today's random cute guy.

Fountain of Youth

If you are offended by Hollyoaks' Chris Fountain's bare behind then you really wont want to go here at all.

The cast of the latest Real World, Real World the Garden Shed, get their kit off but for some reason, no idea why, I only saved the pictures of the(cute) male ones, Tyler, Jose and Zach (Mann), I have an idea why. While I am not naughty enough to cast aspirations on people so desperate to be 'famous' I simply present these two photographs of Tyler for you to make up your own minds about, one and two.

AFLer Will Minson. I kind of think I should write something else here. OK he's not classically good looking but there's something there, but I'm rambling.

English rugby 7ers Andy Vilk squats and Matthew Tait pulls faces.

Some people have a desire to find pictures and share them (which is good) so the least I can do is post them. Here is American swimmer Jermey [sic] Gregory, AFLer Daniel Kerr, and Australian rugby player Travis Gaspar.

Finally by 'do you have any more of...' request Kevin van der Perren shirtless.

Public Announcement

Ian Thorpe is straight, make of that what you will.

Joey

With thanks to:

Kevin Zegers

Small Print

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.

Wyatt

With thanks to:

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.

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.

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.
