It's all about me

The voice no longer does the trick once they get old enough to note that there is no connection between the voice and any real consequences.

Sure it does. Maybe we were just very well-behaved children (at least until highschool) but my parents never hit us and we didn't do anything egregious. I can remember hating it when my dad raised his voice even a little. I would shut right up.

All my mother had to do was give me a look. It worked through my teen years, and I'm sure it would still work today.

I have taken to practicing this look on my pets. It has no effect on the cat, little effect on the older dog, and devastating effect on the puppy in the basket.

It may have to do with whether your kids respect you and, therefore, want you to approve of them. And how they see the parents behaving (whether it's consistent with how they tell the kids to act). And whether their dad is trying to molest their friends.

I say no to hot saucing. It's a waste of good hot sauce.

My thoughts exactly. What's wrong with using cheap tequila?

Let me just warn you, from personal experience, that hot sauce in certain delicate places hurts like a motherfucker.

That is so hot.

Mine don't pay attention until I pull out their middle names.

It occurs to me years later that my parents were experts in Good Cop / Bad Cop. They'd switch off in the middle of an interrogation, and they'd constantly keep you off balance.

The most trouble I've ever, ever been in was when my brother (probably 6) and I (probably 7) managed to get a car out of park and into neutral and got it rolling down a driveway that led onto a very busy highway. We did what any normal TV action hero would do in a runaway car: we opened the door and rolled out. My father, who witnessed the whole thing from the window of the store that he was in, was pale and red at the the same time. I think he probably still yells about it in his sleep. We didn't get in trouble for playing with the controls (though we got a separate very long, very tedious, very boring lecture on that). We didn't get in trouble for jumping out of a moving vehicle (again with a separate lecture with more fear of god elements thrown in). We got in trouble for leaving our sisters in the car. To be fair, the four year old sister was too chicken to jump, and the two year old was still in her car seat and we didn't have time to get her out and also save our own skins. Fortunately, the driveway had a dip at the end, and the car gently rolled into a stop.

I suspect that my dad got a separate fear-of-god inducing lecture on leaving the kids in the car "just for a minute."

Amen. There's just something about his lips that really gets my motor running. And I'm totally with Anne on the low-rise suits. When they're not so great from the neck up, it's really thoughtful of them to give us so much else to look at.

I've also been enjoying the sprinters' singlets (or whatever you call them), especially when they show the replays in slow motion.

Ah, the Olympics. Good times.

Don't ya just wanna tug a bit at the silver band? mmmmmmmmm I wish Ian Thorpe would wear one. Even all wrapped up in his Mormon underwear suit, he's still hot.

As for track, it depends on who's wearing the singlet. Clay looks better than Pappas. Crawford better than Gatlin. YMMV

I'm still not quite sure on the physics of these suits. How the hell do they stay on? I'm willing to devote time to researching the matter.

I think a good place to start would be running a finger (or two, or three) under that silver band on the suit of the top guy. To see how snug it is. It might also be necessary to test from the outside some, and to see if one can work their whole hand between the suit and the skin.

I think this one's body is the best


In fact the entire South African relay team got me all hot, more so than any others.

His torso is almost as hot as mine. This headless shot reminds me of breasticle day.

eta: this is Ryk Neethling of South Africa. Arizona Wildcat and Amanda Beard's boyfriend. You learn so much from NBC.

Which reminds me--- there is an inn in Provincetown, MA called the Prince Albert. Barney Frank was spotted sitting topless on their front porch last week. Not a pretty sight.

Name spotted on a mailbox in Provincetown - Teebaggy. Coincidence?

I just wish his suit were a little lower--that front hip area is one of my favorite parts of the male body.

Sigh. I've always had a thing for swimmers. My first sex dream was about a guy I was on swim team with in fifth and sixth grades. And the sexiest guy in my high school class was also a swimmer.

Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll be feeling happy and slightly aroused for the rest of the day.
