It's their cheap thrill, what can you say. For others it's a chance to ogle the skin of women that will never pose in any thing racier and then nudge their buddies and talk all about it with a nudge, nudge, wink wink attitude. It appeals to the LCD and that's what it was designed to do. Hell, give them their week, you got the other 51. (As with Survivor, American Idol and all that other appeal to the great unwashed crap I've seen one Swimsuit Edition and that was years ago in the doc's office. Hell I don't even read SI. Forget what he said but Dan Jenkin's had one of his characters in Semi Tough make a great remark about SI once. Something about it being sports writing for those who think stuff like synchonized swimming is a sport.)Wolfsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557657560134585950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-83094990293086586712012-03-01T12:12:26.237-05:002012-03-01T12:12:26.237-05:00Ditto what DuggleBogey said about the swimsuit iss...Ditto what DuggleBogey said about the swimsuit issue.

I don't mind a bit of objectifying women now and then, but these models are the unsexiest stick figures on earth. Put some meat on that skin and bones!<br /><br />The halibut definitely sounds yummy.<br /><br />As a fellow denizen of NE, I have loved loved loved this winter. When I clear off the driveway today, it'll be only the 2nd time I've had to use the snow blower this winter.Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995365444853477833noreply@blogger.com
