Temptation Tuesday

Alex Abramov and Brett Andrew Miles

I never tire of these photos of Alex and Brett. This photo shared by Michael from NY appears to be a few years old but still every bit as tempting.

Much thanks to Fearsome Beard blog for posting this handsome photo earlier this year. When I saw the post, I knew I’d want to swipe it for my weekly kilts blog post. I hope you like it.

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.

This week’s riddle came from the 17th annual Brazilian Olympiad which featured this very tricky logic puzzle. I totally booted this but thought, I’d share it with you. 

This week’s brain teaser: 

Assume both of these sentences are true:
Pinocchio always lies.
Pinocchio says, “All my hats are green.”

We can conclude from these two sentences that:
A) Pinocchio has at least one hat.
B) Pinocchio has only one great hat.
C) Pinocchio has no hats.
D) Pinocchio has at least one green hat.
E) Pinocchio has no green hats.

Leave your best guess as a comment, and if you’d like to know the correct answer and the logic behind it, click here.

Vintage gay

Anyone able to guess when this week’s photo may have been taken? I’m guessing perhaps the 1950s but I really have no idea.

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.

Caption this photo

Friend and reader, Jim L. shared this photo with me. I really hope it was photoshopped, and there are not two teammates playing together with these last names. However you have to admit it does make for a particularly funny photo to caption.

Hopefully the caption I’ve shared below inspires you to offer up one or two of your own. Leave a funny caption in the comment section, and I’ll approve it for readers to enjoy.

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”

WERQ THE WORLD, comes to Boston August 7

RuPaul’s Drag Race favorites Kameron Michaels, Rose, Vanjie, Asia O’Hara, and Jaida Essence Hall, and season 14 finalists Angeria Paris VanMichaels, Daya Betty, and Jorgeous come to Boston next month on Sunday, August 7 to perform at the House of Blues.

Looking at this photo of Charlie Aymes in his Calvins, it’s easy to understand why he is a highly sought after fitness coach. You can see more of him if you like on Instagram at @charlieaymes.
