Our Coverage

posted by on July 26 at 14:49 PM

Eli is carefully tracking the Hillary v. Obama dustup; Josh and Erica are debating the mayor’s housing policies; Jen is writing movingly about two artists that committed suicide (or was it muuuuurrrrderrrrr?); Dominic is slapping around congressional Dems in the Washington delegation for a boneheaded vote on medical marijuana; and Jonathan Golob is debunking that obesity-is-contageous study.

Me? I’m writing “Savage Love”—or I’m supposed to be writing “Savage Love.” The cover of the current issue of The Stranger, which is sitting on my desk, keeps distracting me. Mostly because I’m hoping that everyone pictured on the cover—with the exception of, uh, that wee baby in the lower left-hand corner—is making a film for HUMP!, the Stranger’s annual amateur and locally produced porn festival. But I’m especially hoping that these three guys are making a film for HUMP!

And this guy too, if he’s a guy and not one of those sexy boyish lesbians that make me feel conflicted and confused…

Ecce Homo shall start discussion in the comments thread attached to this post concerning the appalling inappropriateness of this post, detailing my deficiencies as a parent and a person. Other commenters will then weigh in, decrying my ageism, my looksism, my anti-fat bigotry, and my promotion of the “unattainable beauty standards” that these guys somehow managed to attain.

But it will be worth it if these guys—all of them photographed at Pony last weekend—will see this post and decide, hey, we’re gonna enter HUMP.

For details about how you—the guys shown above, everyone else reading at home—can enter HUMP!, click here.

I wish the kissing ruggers from yesterday's post would enter.

And apparently no one is editing.
There is still a broken link in The Morning News, and as pointed out it's 'Ukraine' not "The Ukraine".

Sexy androgynous pretty boys make me feel conflicted about being a lesbian. We may have the same taste in men, Dan. And hey, if you see any of those andro pretty girls... send 'em my way. Thanks.

Don’t despair Dan it is the appalling inappropriateness of your posts, your deficiencies as a parent and a person, your ageism, looksism, anti-fat bigotry, and promotion of the “unattainable beauty standards” that make me rock hard every time I think of you...

Those sexy boyish lesbians make me feel conflicted and confused about being a hetero woman. Also, @6, you may already know this but there's a new happy hour dj on the War Room deck on Tuesdays that brings 'em out in hordes. Last Tuesday was a lesbian's dream!

I wanna see the two impossibly hot guys in The Crypt's ads go at it (I'll be the meat in that HUMP sandwich!). Who the frak are these guys?? Are they locals, and if so, why don't I have their numbers??

Wow,

A thread for the Savage sychophants to just post their endless admiration. I had no idea that Dan was a God.

Thank God Dan is on the case of porn. A worthwhile and decent subject that needs more exposure. I also appreciate the tounge in cheek reference to child pornography. How hilarious and quixotically ironic. Right?


Verdict: Lame AND childish.

But at least those that desperately want to eat the golden shit from your pearly anus have a place to post. Kudos Dan, I had gotton concerned that I hadn't read a "how great Dan is" thread in about 24 hours.

Hey there, Ecce!

There's a hilarious child porn joke in my award-winning memoir about adoption, The Kid. Dare you to find it!

And Ari, which one is your friend?

Sexy boyish girls don't make me feel conflicted at all. I'm a straight guy, and they absolutely turn my crank.

(And since I'm window shopping only, I can blithely ignore the lesbian question.)

Someone needs to find out if the person holding the red "O" is a boyish girl or a girly boy. I've got $20 riding on it.

I thought that didn't sound like ecce: nice and apologetic? Nah, must be someone else.

Oh, and to Special K @18: if you do a google image search for "Equus, Dan Radcliff" you can find pics of him naked, full-frontal and from behind. Not that I would ever look at such a thing, mind you, just thought you might want to know.

Posted by Dianna | July 26, 2007 6:35 PM

I thought 28 was ecce, just being sarcastic and showing a til-now hidden humor. The humor should have tipped me off that it wasn't the real deal.

I'm willing to bet that red "0" is a boy. check out the adams apple.
I'm straight but he is so hot I'd tap that whether or not he's a he.

Okay. I was at Pony tonight for Circus, and I thought I saw this guy—this girly boy or the boyly girl that's tormenting me. But just as suddenly as he or she appeared, he or she was gone. Maybe I hallucinated him/her.

why would someone photoshop a foreskin?
does that have anything to do with this "sock puppetry" i've been hearing about? *

Ecce, you don't need to explain anything. We all know you're a fucking idiot. We also know you're going to be a fucking idiot tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.

Carry on.

Dianna - That image hit the web a few months ago, and it's pretty well known amongst us raging geeks at this point. This is the best illustration I can find at the moment, but it's a pretty decent one. It's easier to tell when you look at it side-by-side with the original color shot.

...And now I have to go think some pure thoughts.

I am getting sick of these cowards blatently ignoring the comments rules and using my username.

What a bunch of pathetic twats.

Although I suspect its just Mr. Poe attempting to be funny.

Not that this will completely sort out your pre-midnight circus hallucinations, but I can confirm that there was (at least one) boyish girl (I think) there last night, but not the (slightly) girlish guy from your cover collage.

Dan, I'm going to chime in and say how fawking awesome you are. (No, I'm not Humpy, though I did learn that word from him.) I think you may be one of the few truly sane people on the planet: dedicated pluralist and fighter of bullshit.

Okay, ass-kissery over now.
