Thank you, Pantheon…..

New York has dodged the bullet of the Olympic boondoggle. Now we just have to worry about all the other regular stadium boondoggles that are going on around town – including the plan to cram a bunch of 60 story buildings into the middle of Brooklyn.

I lost interest once they stopped nudity at the Olympics anyway.

  1. I lost interest once they stopped nudity at the Olympics anyway.

    Except that feature is now being facilitated by Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Anderson & Low, et al. So it can be appreciated at your leisure, in the privacy of your own home….

  2. hehehe!

    Nayland.

    Naked.

    Olympics.

    Ok so it’s juvenile, but I haven’t had any coffee yet. And seeing those three words in proximity strikes me as titillating. Perhaps I shouldn’t comment in my sleep?

  3. I wish Vancouverites were smart enough as a majority to refuse the 2010 Olympics. Less than five years to go, and nothing’s going to be ready in time. I think it’s largely an excuse to flush aside some of the un-pretty aspects of town… like where I live. I might actually not be able to continue to stay where I’m at.

  4. <---Misses NYC. Although I am glad I am not one of those LES bar blokes that sit in the trendy bars talking about the demise of the city. But how I do miss my brooklyn and East Village. AHHHH maybe one day when me and Sebbybear retire I will be back. Although I was at gay pride a few weeks ago and went into the dugout.

  5. I wish I’d had the chance to meet you when you were in NYC, although from reading your journal you seem to be in a much better place in your life away from the city. You’re not really missing much these days.

  6. we’re all stoked because we won them and we’re English and everyone knows the English win jack shit. Everything will not get very expensive really quickly, they still won’t stop congestion or get the tube to run – but, so what, by then the ice caps will have melted and we’ll all be swimming.
    naked even.

  7. Iduno. I always took interest when Vasili Alexeev performed:

    …and then revived interest when he returned in ’94 at Barcelona, as coach of the Russian weightlifting team. Unbelievable as it may seem, he actually looked better with age.

  8. Not to be snotty, but we already got enough hot guys like that running around NY without having to build a fucking stadium to get them here for three weeks seven years from now….

    Now if we could just build some more Russian bathouses…

  9. you’d think…but they’re going to build a new stadium or two, new housing, new facilities, oh – all manner of things.
    Did I hear someone say white elephants ?

  10. We may have the Olympics in England but despite having Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden on our fencing team we still won’t see jack shit of the fencing competitions unless someone gets injured!

    and speaking as a former fencer that really pisses me off!

  11. Umm..

    I lost interest once they stopped nudity at the Olympics anyway

    I’m still trying to wrap my brain around this one! I know it’s reveals yet more of my ignorance and the fact I live semi-functionaly under a rock but still…

    Was this nudity in spite of, before, a part of or after the Olympics? The mind reels at the idea of nude fencing and is titilated with nude wrestling! Ooh… that whole Turkish ‘straight’ oil wrestling thing should be part of the Olympics while we’re at it, I mean if table tennis can be a sport… why not?

  12. Re: Umm..

    Well I’m being a bit snarky here: the original Olympics as conducted in ancient Greece featured nude atheletes. That custom was not picked up when the games were revived in 1896, as much as I wish it had been.

    Could you roll a few of them my way?

    (I wuz gonna say you’re less fantasy-oriented than me, but I think your gnome-pr0n posts say otherwise.)

    Now if we could just build some more Russian bathouses…

    If you think that’s a cue for me to take up even more bandwidth with yet another posting of the Halls’ Mentho-Lyptus Steam Room Bears screen-capture, you’re sadly mistaken.

    Well, perhaps just a link this time.

  14. Re: Umm..

    See? I was having a seriously difficult time imagining nudity in our ‘recent’ history of the Olympics! It would be interesting though wouldn’t it? It makes the perverted mind wonder about the possibilities…
