To prepare you for the free Big Butch Muscle Gallery to be posted this evening — or tomorrow morning, or soon, anyway — here’s a trio of evocative snapshots. A group of silly, drunk frat boys in their white briefs, which have been written on in magic marker.
I think you should have no problem picking out my favorite: Always, the shy guy. Or maybe, just the most drunk.
See if you can decipher the hieroglyphics.
But it’s not from frakin’ terrorists. It’s from godsdamn Big Macs!
(Wonder what the Palestinian and Israeli charts would look like next to one another?)
What I want to know is: Where are the deaths from marijuana???!! Where, where, where?
I mean, it’s so frakin’ dangerous, it must be killing people, right?
The REAL Threat to Americans. What really kills Americans.
HOW TO: Track Gaza Using Social Media
Responsible, smart uses of social media. This share IS part of the HSB Get Smart Project. 
“As the death toll rises in Gaza, where do you turn for up to the minute information? If you’re like us, you want a mix of information from traditional media outlets and social media sites alike. You probably already know about Twitter Search, but are you using custom searches, social searches, grabbing RSS feeds, looking at the aggregate view, or having alerts delivered to you?
If you need a little help tracking the crisis, use this post to find a few quick tips and tactics for tracking Gaza news as it develops.”

“CrisisWire.com gathers information about crises. This site contains real-time info about what’s happening during a crisis.”
Sullivan says: “The inability on both sides to see Jews and Arabs as equally and indistinguishably human before they are Jews and Arabs is at the heart of the problem. In a contest between Israel’s flawed democracy and Hamas’s theological murderousness, I see no moral equivalence. But Israelis and Arabs demand exactly the same respect as human beings, every single one, including the “worst of the worst”. A refusal to grapple with the moral costs of this conflict, and a glib dismissal of the terrible human carnage now being inflicted by Israel (and paid for in part by Americans) is a sign of moral unseriousness. But it is the same mindset that can authorize the torture of human beings and see it as “coercive interrogation” only when Americans do it to Muslims.”

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.
earth album alpha - a slicker google maps + flickr mash-up
A really cool tool for exploring flickr photos using a world map. Yes, there are a preponderance of cat photos and really generic landscapes, but click around in Africa and you’ll find a lot of interesting and beautiful work.
Only photos that pas safe-search requirement are shown. This means, as it always has, that an 8-year old could see pictures of dead Palestinian girls all day long but if she wanted to see a shaved pussy, or a hard cock for that matter, his sensibilities would be protected.
I wish flickr would allow adult photos to be accessed via their API; or would that result in an even more boring tool?

On purpose, with the express reason of sharing it with someone else, and exchanging it for a book that one might not have read. That’s how I discovered the great British travel writer, Bill Bryson, and read his too-short but wonderfully funny and sad, in a way, A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
But I shouldn’t have had to travel to Argentina and hang out with politically-aware backpackers to come in contact with The Bookseller of Kabul
It’s an eye-opener, in many ways, and not least because of this tidbit, related late in the book:
In parts of Afghanistan, especially in the southeastern part of the country, homosexuality is widespread and tacitly accepted. Many commanders have young male lovers [no doubt all nicknamed Hephaestion. Alexander the Great made it as far as Afghanistan. - Rick.] , and one often sees old men followed by a bunch of young boys… Often major jealous melodramas develop around the young men; many blood feuds have been fought over a young lover who divided his favors between two men. On one occassion, two commanders launched a tank battle in the bazaar in a feud over a young man. The result was several dozen killed.
Anyway, this is the country in which our President-Elect has vowed to increase a U.S. presence. It might be good idea for those of us who care to read up on it. At least, just a little bit.
And as Robert Scoble recently tweeted, it might not be a bad idea to bone up on Gaza, too.
We’ve all been told, and we’re all hoping, that it’ll be a new world once this guy is inaugurated. Why don’t we take his lead, Americans, and try to be a little less uninformed.
Yep, it’s a dream I have.

Meanwhile, I present today’s mascot, Nick Donato, from CollegeDudes247. Nick’s got one of the hottest set of straight-boy pits I’ve seen in awhile, not to mention a nice fat cock.

Hell, of the week, the month, the year.
Just a butch twink, chattin’ or watchin’ Internet porn; playin’ with himself, scratchin’ his balls.
Blurry but still hawt. I love self-pix! They are simply suggestively nasty.

JC012g on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Some beautifully shot and presented nudes in JC’s set — he’s a bodybuilder who’s kept his lovely fuzzy tummy and nice pits — but this portrait is the most effective of the bunch, to me.
Cherubic lips on a young face that’s evidently seen some real life. Very nicely captured, especially for a studio shot.
[You'll have to be a flickr friend of jaybird85701 to see the nudes.]

Dusty, scuffed-up cassettes with cracked cases for 99 cents. I only bought one. 16 Lovers Lane, I believe.
After I’d listened to it, I went back, all the way back to a dingy mall on the South side where I never went except a couple times a year to visit a college friend, and bought the other tapes. Which were still there, of course.
Been in love ever since.

I bring this band up because I’ve sent a lot of time lately exploring emusic and trying to figure out what people are listening to now. I had an urge to catch up after 6 years of being entirely out of the loop in the Czech Republic, where even 18 year old boys listen to music from the Communist era and where only R.E.M. and Madonna register as stars from outside that tiny little fucked-up country.
Hours and hours of listening, though, and homo is not impressed. At least not with the bulk of what’s getting called “indie pop.” Typing that alone makes me want to gag. WTF is indie pop anyway? Sounds like excuses not to have any balls and not to know how to play guitars.
The Go-Betweens still sound fresh, however, and amateurish, in that good, ragged-but-right sense, and also a little weird.
So take your Vampire Weekend. Please.
[Apparently, they also did a record with Sleater-Kinney backing. Weird, but cool.]

This is the new theme. It’s light, like my life at the moment.
It was certainly time for a change, doncha’ think?
Lots of kinks, bugs, and wrinkles to smooth out. Please bear with me. I was just so sick of seeing the old theme.
As of this writing, I haven’t even changed the logo graphic. That’s my next task.
