  • Manly Monday – Cooking With Bears

    Back by (surprisingly) popular demand, but probably on an irregular basis!

    My boyfriend has been marketed to: a British honey producer—Rowse Honey—asked their advertising firm for something interesting and challenging and someone came up with selling honey with bears…gay bears, three of them…and porridge. Unlike the BF, my preferences do not begin and end with “is a bear,” but the ads contain three hirsute men of varying beefiness preparing oats, doing yoga, and chopping wood and they’re charming as all get-out. Rowse is available on Amazon, but not with Prime shipping (boo!)

    Part of the problem with doing Manly Monday is that I start GISing something topical like “scruffy men in aprons” (hey, it’s Thanksgiving week*) and then have a difficult time finishing the task at hand my post. It’s fun how a simple image search can lead one to #bearnakedchef a web series of Adrian De Berardinis cooking in just an apron (often just over his nethers). *Except in Canada where y’all already blew your Thanksgiving wad

    Or that there’s a combination photo/cookbook of Italian bears cooking healthy Italian cuisine (one of whom looks suspiciously like a doctor/former chef I work with).

    And then you might stumble on scruffy pizza chef, Daniel Gutter who goes by @Pizza_Gutt on Instagram and makes (wait for it) deep dish pizza in Philly, and was harassed online because his username was too close to #Pizzagate (wtf is wrong with people?)

    All that said, I need to kill the GIS window, don a full body hair net and get some cooking of my own done.

  • Manly Monday

    I have recently been made aware of a YouTube content producers The Kilted Coaches (Stephen and Rab) who are frequently wearing kilts (and only kilts) in their videos while giving athletic advice, which has not been vetted by Warty. As you may have noticed I have a terrible weakness for the intersection of affable goofball and hotness (mildly NSFW), and these fellows punch these buttons aggressively. Also Scottish accents. Did I mention the accents?

    Some of their stuff is goofy to the point of being ridiculous and their inspirational quotes can be…schmaltzy (though I do like this one), but overall flipping through 10 months of Twitter, Instagram and YouTube content has been delightful. So make some bad decisions, and kill some time watching two dudes, in kilts, enjoy the shit out of their days. Also they know what’s going to get them buzzed about on the internet so here is How to get great glutes which ends with them walking bare-arsed off into the sunset.

    Some links mildly NSFW*

    I have it on good authority the that snow is melting rapidly on the SoCal ski slopes, but before it does I figured I’d get in a crack about biathletes. I figure everyone here can get behind a sport comprised of skiing and shooting things AND as a National Siblings Day bonus we have the Fourcade brothers. Now Martin is ostensibly the better biathlete, and he’s not hard on the eyes either, but I’d let Simon eat crackers in bed. He’s got a great body, likes to show off (I dare not do more than happy baby on a paddleboard), is very photogenic and knows it. He balances goofy and sexpot with aplomb, much like other jesse.in.mb favorite Chris Pratt. It doesn’t hurt that he’s perfectly happy to bare dat ass.

    I’m not sure why, but he was photographed twice for the Dieux Du Stade calendar, this year (see link for “aplomb”) and in 2015 where he posed on a 55 gallon drum (because Santa came early…and so did jesse.in.mb).

    *Specifically biathletes (woman) and shooting (women), sexpot (man), aplomb (man), dat ass (man) and 55 gallon drum (man).

    So, I probably won’t be around when Manly Monday goes live this week. Most likely I’ll be passed out cold in a Tel Aviv hostel. Since I’m a bit jet-lagged (I assume), so I’m going to go with an easy win.

    Ben. Fucking. Cohen.

    Ben Cohen is a sexy former rugby player who founded the anti-bullying StandUp Foundation and a leaked jack off video, which I will let you google for yourself. Anyway, without further ado, here are a bunch of pictures of the very sexy Ben Cohen. If someone wants to invite Kaptious Kristen over now would be the time. 

     

    Also if you need calendar, Ben Cohen has you covered.

    Sad news from Manly Mondays: due to hard demographic numbers, I’ve been “encouraged” to include more Canadian friendly content. I have also been told that we cannot link to well-looped gifs from Kristen Bjorn’s RCMP-themed 1992 classic adult film Call of the Wild “starring 11 hot French Canadian men”

    So instead I’ll talk about the next most masculine thing I can think of Canadians doing–CURLING.

    A quick google search has taught me absolutely nothing about the sport but I am enamored with the adorkable, and unfortunately fauxhawked, Mike McEwen, who had a tasteful spot wearing very little in 2014’s (apparently one off for some reason) Men of Curling charity calendar. If you track it down you can use it again in 2025.

    And just to prove that he plays a sport here’s an action shot:

  • Manly Monday

    Anyone who has done yoga, stepped on a cardio machine at the gym, or flipped a tractor tire over repeatedly at CrossFit owes a nod to Physical Culture. The idea had bubbled up previously but began coming together as a movement in the mid-1800s as people realized that sitting at a desk all day probably wasn’t that good for you. Because 19th century Europe, all of this got tied in fairly neatly with nationalism and we’ve never quite escaped a sense that the physical fitness of the people is a reflection of the health of the nation. Physical Culture and the various ways it’s been en vogue or out of fashion for the past ~175 years is fascinating and you can learn more from Dr. Warty’s paired courses “Physical Culture: an anthropology of manly strength and nations at war” T, Th 8-10am and “Squat more, fleshy thing, I am disgusted by your weakness” M, W, F at the same time. Or of course you can check Wikipedia for the ultra abbreviated version or The Art of Manliness for a sweeping gloss of the issue.

    One of Mizer’s models

    Because it’s Manly Mondays, we’re mostly here for the skin and so we turn to the case of Bob Mizer. Mizer was a Los Angeles based photographer with ready access to the burgeoning muscle culture of Muscle Beach in Santa Monica in the mid-1940s. He founded the Athletic Model Guild, which published Physique Pictorial one of the earliest beefcake magazines of the post-war period. By the mid-1950s the implication of nudity under the posing pouches he was using on his models had drawn the ire of the USPS and he was charged with obscenity and did a 9 months stint in a work camp. The obscenity charge only served to make him more well known and he became a primary source for photographic records of muscle culture in Santa Monica/Venice Beach through the ’60s and ’70s. You’ve potentially seen some of his art with old photos of the Governator showing off.

    Unforutantely for you all, copyright is a strange beast and I’d prefer not to get trampled under foot, so I’m just going to send you looking elsewhere including a fairly Safe For Work Bob Mizer Foundation Kickstarter campaign from 2012 to help raise money for properly archiving some of Mizer’s work. The less safe for work, but safer-than-a-Mapplethorpe-exhibition, galleries hosted by the Bob Mizer Foundation, and of course potentially NSFW depending on your Safe Search settings: GIS or Bing Images.

    Also bonus footage from Muscle Beach back in the 1950s heyday that has nothing to do with Mizer, but is part of his milieu.

     

  • Manly Mondays: Just like Thicc Thursdays, except totally different

    Since it’s the first (hopefully of many) Manly Mondays, I bring you original content!

    Value-added background beef
    However it may appear this is not the bouquet toss at a gay wedding

    Scottish Fest USA is the long-running Highland Games + cultural festival at the Orange County Fairground that brings together manly men of all backgrounds together to pick up heavy things and subsequently throw those heavy things, all while wearing a skirt. Afterwards, fried things are eaten and beer is consumed.

    Scottish Fest 2017 is May 27-28. Check it out if you’re in the area and want to try Irn-Bru, eat foods guaranteed to cause a cardiovascular event or stare at thighs that look like cabers.
