Hot and wrong

Filed under: The mens, What is wrong with republicans? — Dan at 10:07 am on Thursday, July 5, 2007

Mitt Romney is obviously the worst person ever, can we agree on that? But I got a hot tip about how smokin’ hot the sons Romney are and — boy oh boy — was it ever reliable.

My tipster likes Tagg, while I prefer the Clark Kentish ruggedness of Matt. Although Ben does have a certain mountain man appeal.

Now that I’ve linked to the Mitt Romney Web site, I feel like I need to off-set it by providing some less horrible ones. Here’s the HRC Web site. Oh, and here’s Michael Moore’s Web site.

Gripes, raisins, misspellings

  1. I don’t really care what Montag’s (above) music sounds like. He just needs to stay pretty and Canadian.
  2. You can listen to the new Smashing Pumpkins song here. Meh.
  3. Download Final Fantasy’s version of Stars’ “Your Ex-Lover is Dead.”

Look out for homos

I was curious, although not really interested, about the predisposition of a certain guy at the gym.

I don’t go to one of those gay gyms where everyone gets dressed up to check each other on the ellipticals and “spot” one another.  Then write missed connections to each other, lamenting the fact that they didn’t get someone’s name as they walked out of the den-of-sin sauna.  I go to a gym that is made up of a) tired-looking bureaucrats, b) men playing raquetball, c) straight people my age who have jobs, d) old men who wander around the locker room naked for hours.
But there are a few proud gays there — enough to keep things interesting.

There was one guy who was a bit older (40?) who had pinged my gaydar before and I was awaiting confirmation.  The other night, I got it.

As I ran on the treadmill with my headphones on, I could still hear a little bit of his stairmaster conversation with the woman next to him.

“I started watching Everwood,” he said.

“LOVE IT!” she said.

“I’m starting with season one.”

Case closed.

Lunchtime crush of the day

Filed under: The mens, Things that happened — Dan at 12:39 pm on Tuesday, February 20, 2007

Dear guy at Chinatown Express,

You looked very sharp in your tailored suit.  And even though I associate neck tattoos (and face tattoos) with insanity/serial killing, the fact that you paired them with the aforementioned corporate-looking suit was very nice.

Hope you enjoyed the stir fry.  Asian babies sometime?

Love,

DAN

Not hot

Hollywood heart-throb Frankenstein. Kind of gross, actually.

Dan's gay lunch moment of the day

Filed under: Gayin' it up, The mens — Dan at 9:42 pm on Friday, December 15, 2006

I’m walking down the street and a small man (maybe 5′3), doubtfully gay but kind of cute, asks me where the library is.

What I said: “Down the road four or five blocks and then take a right.”
What I wanted to say: “I know where it is. Can I carry you?”

The Pitts

Brad Pitt is an attractive man. But he doesn’t really come close to my shortlist of hot men in Hollywood. I don’t know why everyone goes ape shit all the time about him.
