Green on Thursday #94: Dropping the Soap

Oh, bygone eras of sublimated male eroticism! Before there was Xtube there was newsgroup photo-sharing and before those there were dirty videos (βeta!) and magazines. And before those there were International Male catalogs and “fitness” magazines and before those there were the swimsuit and underwear sections of Sears and Eaton’s catalogs.

And before those there were [...]

Green on Thursday #93: Ben, the Two of Us Need Look No More

Rugby star — and TTNO fan-fave — Ben Cohen strips for Attitude mag and says this about his physique:

I don’t think I’ve got a good body. And that’s not cause I want you to say I have. I don’t look in the mirror and go: ‘Fucking hell Benny, good body.’ I look at it and [...]

Green on Thursday #92: Nothing to Hide

I hope you’ll welcome the return of an orphaned series here at This.That.No Other., prompted by a post earlier this week on Joe.My.God. showcasing the cheeky Air New Zealand video “The Bare Essentials of Safety”.

More interesting — to me, at least — was the 45-second TV spot for the airline, featuring the talents of Air [...]

Green on Thursday #91

Normally I’m not a big fan of guys whose peculiar eyelash/skintone combinations evoke eyeliner. This guy manages to erode my resistance. He can do comedy and drama and is, undeniably, a ridiculously handsome man. Turns out, when the suit comes off? Hey-hayyyy…

Nestor Carbonell:

That hey-hayyy, after the jump.

Green on Thursday #90

So, a few months ago I had a bit of fun at the expense of two guys named Brett Stewart, one hailing from Australia’s Manly Sea Eagles footie club, the other vastly more annoying.

And, speaking of Manly Sea Eagles, there’s another lad on the team, one who calls himself David Williams, is 22 and looks [...]

I’m not going to make any excuses for enjoying ABC’s The Unusuals. There are as many reasons why I shouldn’t like it — like individual plots too pedestrian for the rich character arcs — as there are reasons I should (ever-more-interesting character back-stories and banterlicious dialog plus the added bonus of watching Oz alumni Terry [...]

Green on Thursday #88: Α Δ Φ

So, let’s say you’re walking down the street and you hear Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out” blaring from a huge house. And let’s say you’re at a university. Say… the University of Chicago. And let’s say the big house is a frat house. And let’s say that as you walked by this big frat house [...]

Green on Thursday #87

So, shortly after Guy Ritchie’s by-the-numbers (but nonetheless enjoyable) Rocknrolla hit the theatres, I received a terse message from skippyboy alerting me to the hotness of one Mark Strong and, indeed, the man’s good looking, well above average. Hey, I googleimaged him, right? Nice.

But, as is my tradition — mostly since I want to avoid [...]

Green on Thursday #86

You can’t be Canadian if you don’t know the work of iconic (and silverfoxy) painter Ken Danby (1940-2007). I’m sorry, but them’s the rules.

It’s possible to be Canadian and not know Danby’s 6’3″, 218 pound son, Noah, but he’s no less a work of art. I first saw him in a couple of episodes of [...]

Green on Thursday #85

What’s that saying about your first great love setting a standard for all others to follow? Or maybe it has more to do with that first love fitting a mold you didn’t yet know existed?

Regardless, the first real love-lust of my life had a spectacular build, a handsome face and a lot of forehead. It [...]

Lazy-Ass Friday

SO busy at work, lately, especially given the fact that so many people are far too interested in things political than in things… we do at our office.

And I totally missed Green on Thursday this week (my bad), for which you not only have my sincerest apologies but this attempt at redemption, Apple Senior VP [...]

Dear Chris Evans…

PPS: Next time you’re here, let’s warm up in the hot tub, bro!

Green on Thursday #83

We don’t see enough Jason Patric.

The grandson of Jackie Gleason (!) and son of Jason “Damien Karras” Miller, Patric clearly got his looks from the women in his family.

Young Jason Patric

He’s a remarkably talented actor who ascended to stardom on the strength of his standout roles in Lost Boys, Rush and (ugh) Speed [...]

Green on Thursday #82: Christmas Day Forecast — Hot Flurries

CNN weather guy Rob Marciano managed for a few weeks last year to become an icon for that particular corner of the American right wing which somehow feels global warming is more a political issue than environmental. Finding fault with a couple of Al Gore’s points in An Inconvenient Truth, Marciano provided knee-jerk know-nothings with [...]

Green on Thursday #81: My Name is Eduardo Verástegui and I am NOT Your Friend

Eduardo Verástegui, BIGOT

In the fallout from the Prop 8 debacle, one thing is patently obvious: bigots really fucking hate it when they’re a) identified by name and, b), called-out as the bigots they truly are. Mike “Hateful Bigot” Huckabee certainly made that clear in his interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show earlier this week.

So [...]
