Viagra advertisement
I’m a fan of witty advertising so when I saw this ad from Viagra, which I believe ran during the London Olympics, I had to laugh.
Put your graffiti on me
I like the Kat Graham’s song and a catchy tune on a Friday afternoon can help time pass. Can you name the notorious designer who used this song in his risque video?
Furry Friday
Here is an iPhone themed Furry Friday post. Enjoy your day everyone.
Smile and say hello
Last night I was out having a drink with friends and happened to meet these two lovely ladies who work together over in the Fenway. I feel like a schmuck because no sooner did I arrive home than I realized I’d forgotten their names.
The fact that I’m a schmuck shouldn’t take away from the point of the post, which is even if you are out with friends smile and say hello to people. Despite what you think, most people are actually very nice, and these two ladies are perfect examples. I hope I bump into them again.
Making a friend always starts with “hello”.
Amtrak does it better

My friend Ben pointed out a good article from Boston Magazine’s blog entitled, Why Amtrak is Better than Flying. I regularly visit NYC and often use the high speed train, Acela, from Amtrak on my visits.
According to the post, Amtrak accounts for 54% of the air/rail trips between NYC and Boston and 75% of trips between NYC and DC. The reasons are easy to understand, the faster service of Acela, being treated like a person, and more reliable on-time service all help.
The fact that my 6’1″ frame can comfortably sit in the seats is another perk. I only point this out after reading The Boston Globe article from Monday about airlines reducing legroom, Airlines cut deeper into standard legroom.
Certainly, train travel could be improved – notably between Boston and NYC where the term “high speed” sometimes is more in theory than reality – but hopefully with more funding that will happen shortly. As for air travel, there is nothing on the horizon that gives me hope that the experience will get better.
Suddenly it makes sense
Is it just me or does the combination of the facial expressions on these two players, their body positioning and the headline to the left seem to all say “porn”?
This post seems to be in keeping with my previous suddenly it makes sense posting from last week. How did I miss this overtly sexual imagery when I was in high school? I’m certain I would have played more sports then.
Codzilla and the nephews
The definition of “uncle” should be parenting without any of the hang-ups, expenses or disciplining required. Today I’m relishing in that role. Sergio and I are taking my two nephews Jack and Austin on Codzilla.
Codzilla is a large boat that has a giant, ravenous looking Cod painted along its side. The ride will take us on a trip through Boston harbor for approximately 45 minutes at speeds of up to 40 mph. Seems like the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon with two boys age seven and nine. I can hardly wait to see their expressions.
Here is a recent photo of the three siblings. Abby will sit out the boat ride with Mom.

San Francisco’s dragapella beauty shop quartet just posted this humorous ditty on YouTube and I couldn’t help but share it.

Vintage gay photographs
A blog I’ve discovered online is the Winger Jock blog, which first got my attention with the recent post, 100 Years of Gay Couples, it posted last week.
The post includes 19 other pictures of gay couples spanning the last century and as Pierre from Winger Jock Blog says, “Yes, we have been around forever.“
