Three Shots
Below you'll see three photos of me dressed as Captain America.
Take a quick glance at them, ignore the bad hair, mentally choose a favorite and then read on.
So you've picked a favorite.
Maybe the men have picked a least favorite.
We'll do an experiment with subliminal-ness now.
The photos are all very similar. They're as similar as I could make them when taking the photos required that I walk back and forth from my bike to the camera and setting it to automatically take a picture.
Except, in one of the photos I'm wearing an extra pair of socks. And this is the one I think female readers will be drawn to ... not because their mothering instinct will kick in and they'll be happy that my tootsies will be extra warm. But, because I'm wearing the extra socks down the front of my tights and, well, women are a lot more like men than they care to admit.
Some of you are put off by this, and to you I apologize. Some of you are not surprised in the least. One of you recognizes this stunt as having been inspired by something that happened at a place we both used to work. (Sometimes the blog is all about one really funny joke for a single person ... don't worry, your turn is coming soon.)
(I'm hoping the sock thing has to be looked for. On my monitor the lack of contrast provided by the tights makes it sort of hard to find (at least that's why I tell myself it's hard to notice) and I know where to look. Well, we all know where to look, I just know the socks are there.)
Ah ... it's the middle picture.
(Update: On my CRT these photos seem to be very dark. On my LCD they seem fairly bright. My apologies if they seem dark to you ... though, maybe it's for the best. All things considered.)

Ah, the "package" picture returns. Hopefully it won't appear on the cover of the Rolling Stone. You see what that got Al. A good Bushing I'd say. I would like to take this opportunity to become the first and original "Omega Male". You know, kinda the anti-stud.

Oh man. It took me a while to figure out Omega Male as my mind went to The Omega Man (1971, Charlton Heston).
What can I say ... I'm getting old.
Alpha Male ... Omega Male

You'd think I'd be smiling more in the second photo. Bob (of Enzyte fame) is always smiling more *after* his Enzyte arrives and he's been pumped full of natural male enhancment.
