BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brainEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

Leave your answer in the comment section. I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

This week’s brain teaser: 

With pointed fangs I sit and wait
With piercing force I dole out fate
Over bloodless victims I proclaim my might
I can eternally join with a single bite.
What am I?

Vintage gay

I almost didn’t post this photo because without any clothes and the two men looking away from the camera it is really hard to tell when this may have been taken but the photo comes from the racy Twitter profile @oldmasc, which focuses on vintage and historical images of men through the years. Anyone an expert in pool design who may be able to provide a guesstimate on when this may have been taken?

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
