Dude, can we institute a rule of keeping old-man-yambag behind a cut?

No. I think that most of my readership is hardy enough to tolerate pictures of the occasional 50+ body builder.

How did I miss that event? Boo. Anyway, going to a muscle pageant this Saturday, just to watch. Should be interesting.

If those men were 20, my reaction would still be "ew, ew, ew, ew..."

People just shouldn't look that...lumpy.

Well, there's no arguing against aesthetic judgments, but I think that those two guys look far better than most guys half their age.

I just am really, really turned off by big muscles. And probably old men in speedos. In fact, anyone in speedos.

So I guess when I think about it, there's really nothing doing anything ecept repulsing me.
