posted by on June 28 at 17:40 PM

This is Joey. He learned to slackline three years ago after watching a guy do it in the woods. More on slacklining here. Photos are by Kelly O.

Taking pictures of this fool only encourages this sort of behavior.

Put a shirt on for fuck's sake.

I approve of this post. Fit shirtless guys = awesome.

I guess you didn't go to a small liberal arts school in Oregon or Washington. Slacklines are a plague on those campuses.

The UW quad always has a line going on nice days.

Even hotter when they're barefoot. Love watching those grubby monkey toes curl around the webbing.

Yeah, I've got a fet.

dan, your thing for shaggy head boys is very cute-makes me smile everytime you get a new version to drool over...

@1 agreed. At some point being a douche became something every college student and trustafarian strove to be.

Say "YES" to War on Iraq by Dan Savage Oct. 2002

"War may be bad for children and other living things, but there are times when peace is worse for children and other living things, and this is one of those times."

"The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we're going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves."

I'm sure glad nobody remembered to have multiple images that span many pages on the Web go into a spill so that we see only the first image and can choose if we want to see the rest ....

That boy has a serious case of needing a rimjob from me.

Beautiful fella. By not using carpet pads under his webbing on that girth cinch he is seriously hurting the vascular cambium on that lovely tree, though. If too many slackliners use that same spot once he's worn a groove in it, the tree will be dead in a year or so.

@18: Like some hippie kid with a fucking slackline cares about that shit. He's got a cute girl taking multiple pictures of him, he doesn't have time to worry about killing the tree!

Funniest thread in a while. I particularly like Will in Seattle's passive-aggressivism. It's not like these were pictures of somebody giving somebody else anal tongue darts, Will.

Spain wins! caramba! unfortunately, none of the players took off their shirts. when i am queen of the world, it will be MANDATORY to remove your shirts after each and every goal scored in european football matches. for realz.

This is equally retarded as having a giant hackysack thread because the author thought said hackysacker was cute. Thanks for killing slog a little bit at a time Kelly O.

He's cute! Slacklining seems kind of lame, but if it makes him take his shirt off, then I guess I'm for it.

Krikey! Good on ya mate for snappin those closeups of Joey the Ostrich. My wife Candy and I spent most of Sunday tracking this majestic beast across the gay outback after spying him performing the three-nights-with-no-sleep poultry polka around noontime at the Funhouse. Candy was creating a distraction as I crept around behind to steal his eggs, when a burst from the pride fountain startled this fella and he bolted for the hill.
