IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN LANTERN

This is completely fake, but it's a really, really good fake.

I'm so jealous right now. This makes my trailer for a fake Justice League movie look like a lump of fudgy dog turd.

YELLOW SNOW JOB

"This seemed stupid at first," Nicholas Lemons
thought as he posed for the camera, "sticking
a lemon yellow shirt on a guy whose name is
lemons. But, dammit, I make this look good!"

BACKFLIPPING PEOPLE OFF

I really should change that label.

It's really more "sites" for Saturday
than just one site.

Over at Something Awful, the men (boys?)
of Photoshop Phriday had a good day yesterday,
giving us a second part of "Same Actor, Wrong Roll."

Stephen introduced me to a new 'blog called A Collection of Men. It's a simple idea, stylishly done. And the photo of the "Daddy's Boy" who puts it together is beautiful.

It was posted last week, but I didn't notice until last night that Stunning Sexy Guys offered up a wallpaper photo of my Man of the Month Phil Fusco (even if they did call him "Pat").

And We Love Guys reminded me this week why the world loves Marcel.

Finally, Just Beautiful Men introduced me to something called "parkour," something like the offspring of mating gymnastics and and some martial art. Some of these moves were impressive years ago when I saw. Donald O'Connor do them, but these guys make them far sexier. Have a look...

OVERNIGHT DELIVERY BOY

Time for another dose of the Man of the Month, Philip Fusco.

So how do you make a hot guy even hotter?
Discover he has a sense of humour.

Seriously, I love the matter-of-fact informative tone of this.

MORNING WOODEN INDIAN

The Sioux were the greatest horsemen. The Cherokee
were the most advanced. The Apache were among
the fiercest warriors, and the Navaho survived in
conditions that would have destroyed most people.

But the braves of the Adonii tribe got all
the women because they were so damned pretty.

RAINBOW BRIDGE WORK

I love comic book movies so much that I even watched DAREDEVIL twice.

And I thought that I followed the news of such things fairly well, but the first I knew of the live-action film of THOR was yesterday when Beauty and the Bum told me that the part had gone to Australian Chris Hemsworth.

Reportedly, producers and director Kenneth Branagh has originally passed on Hemsworth as Thor, but after giving him a second chance, they were impressed by what the camera saw.

Hemsworth has been seen by millions now: he plays George Kirk, lamented father of James Tiberius Kirk in STAR TREK. The guy on the right is the very studly Thor figurine sculpted by Randy Bowen.

THOR is scheduled for release one year from today.

Now something really important:
Take a few minutes and read this father's account of teaching his daughter about sex. The USA... nay, the world would be a better place if more parents were like this guy.

Drew thought he had a great idea for a costume

GENE RODDENBERRY PRESERVES

This is so cool!

Right now, I'm watching an old episode from the fifth season of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, one where the "master of disguise" is played by Leonard Nimoy instead of Martin Landau.

And since the bad guy is Mark Lenard, there are scenes of Spock and Sarek together, except that they're not Spock and Sarek.

And this episode also has a young and un-moustachioed Sam Elliott as a hunky doctor, bossing Peter Graves around in a very Kirk/McCoy fashion.

SUPER EGOTISTICAL

Jared spent a lot of time in his new apartment
staring out of the upstairs windows, looking for
some hot neighbor to fantasize about, but he never
saw a guy who turned him on as much as his own
reflection. Jared needs professional help.

LOOKS THAT COULD KILL SOME TIME

Today, another - and a long overdue - look at Edilson Nascimento.

Not because his press agent is promoting something new or anything. I'm just putting him here because I love this photograph and because my day is happier when I get to look at him.

Often when I see his photographs, he reminds me of the way Superboy was drawn in the 1970s and 80s, so this seemed like a natural thing to do.

I loved this song by Bibie enough when I heard it used in another's clip that I wanted to know what the lyrics were saying. So I found the lyrics in French and what I suspect is a really bad English translation, and I decided to use them in a clip of my own.

And I should offer thanks to Kenneth and Vera, because I stole a lot of these photographs from them.

BEEF CAKE WALK

Someone sent me this clip of some proposed new German soap opera, based on DENVER KLAN, which you Amis called DYNASTY.

What do you think?

Actually they sent me episode 3, but it's more than ten minutes long. The idea was funny and it did include Jensen, but it just went on and on and on.

Truthfully, I used to spend a lot of time with one of the "stars" of this clip, but unfortunately I'm talking about the Cologne Cathedral which I used to visit almost every weekend.

DELAYED RE-ACTION FILM

I never see movies the first week they're out because I hate the crowds.

So while everyone else was seeing STAR TREK (and all the other 'blogs were pining over Chris), I finally saw WOLVERINE.

And I have no idea why everyone I talked to panned this movie. I enjoyed it, and not just for the visual stimulation of these two guys.

It was an interesting vacation. Fortunately, Paul learned
that on most of the beaches it wasn't necessary to check
yourself for leeches. Unfortunately, a leech wasn't the
most disgusting thing to get inside his shorts while
he was there. Damn all that cheap tequila!

FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS-IN-LAW

Okay, I feel insulted now.

This the nautical flag for the letter M. And using that military alphabet that calls all letters by a word beginning with that letter, this flag is known as "Mike."

You probably know that these flags are flown on boats and ships to spell out various messages, but it turns out that each flag has a meaning assigned to it when it is flown singly, not part of a word.

And Mike flying alone means "My vessel is stationary and not underway."

It's like they knew me!

There are other flags that have people's names attached. Charlie means simply "yes." Juliet means "Fire on board; keep your distance." Oscar means "man overboard," and Victor means "I require assistance."

STIR FRY DADDY

Many cultures have odd and sometimes dangerous rituals
whereby young men are required to prove their manhood,
but none is more odd or potentially scarring than that
of a community of Japanese-Americans in the Southwest.
The practice began in the 1920s, when the sons of Japanese
immigrants in Phoenix were teased about their masculinity
by the local teenaged boys. Eager to prove their toughness,
the young Japanese men began undertaking the toughest ritual
they could devise: frying bacon while naked.

Just because I'm using this song is no reason to think that I've fallen for someone. It's just that I heard this at the grocery store three days ago, and I can't get it out of my head. Cool song, though. I like how much attitude the keyboard player throws into his "Yeah!"

On a more personal note, however, I did recently re-connect with someone I knew in high school via Facebook. After reading his profile there, I can't believe I used to be in love with a guy who watches Two and a Half Men. Voluntarily!

At a recent archaeological symposium, Dr. Felipe Mentiroso

Hernan Cortes - contrary to common belief - did not conquer
the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan in order to steal their wealth
but simply because he was jealous of their fabulousness.
