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 [...]

The Week in Review

Short week, lots of work done, busted my Craigslist cherry (sold a TV and a Betamax — oh, yeah!) and my Kijiji cherry (sold my old bike), hung out with the inimitable J.D.:

With J.D. (7 September 2009)

…bought an awesome new citybike, heard the seven trumpets:

The Seven Trumpets

…discovered that in Space, no one can [...]

Turning On My Neighbourhood

Oh, the abundant opportunities inherent in this post slug, to go off on flights of quadruple-entendre fancy, but, no, I’m talking about television and my neighbourhood, dear readers.

About six blocks from where I sit right now is a structure appearing in the Galactica universe as both Delphi (in BSG) and Caprica City Hall (in Caprica):

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 [...]

Green on Thursday #89

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 [...]

Eat Well (2)

So what have I been doing for the past couple of weeks?

Working my ass off. Trying to figure out what’s been causing the utter exhaustion and skull-vise headaches I’ve been experiencing which, apparently, have little-to-nothing to do with my misbehavin’ thyroid. Surviving the bloodbath at work. Not going to the gym very much at all. [...]

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 [...]

What About “Bear’s Kin”?

“Bambi Demands Justice for Bears”. “Bare Skin Not Bearskin”. Oh, my aching punny bone. Heh, bone.

There’s plenty to ridicule about PeTA — like renaming fish “sea kittens”, f’rinstance — but they do have a knack for hiring the occasional attractive spokesmodel (like hot Survivors Ethan “Swoon-Thud” Zohn and Jenna Morasca) and, now, Battlestar Galactica‘s Jamie [...]

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 [...]

Today

“If we really understood love, we would not just build in its honor noble temples and altars, and offer solemn sacrifices, but would believe without reservation that to deny its existence in every human heart is to reject our humanity.” — Melissa McEwan

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone.

So Say We All: Galactalicious!

I know what you’re thinking: “I just wish there was a way to properly enjoy the last season of Battlestar Galactica and get delightfully girl-drink-drunk while doing it!”

Well, if the girl in question is named Kara Thrace, you need an appropriately kick-ass concoction to get to where you want to go:

Starbuck’s Morning After

7.5 oz [...]

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 [...]
