Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Lex, that is so cruel! And doubly so because I remembered (how could I forget?) something I encountered soon after the last time, you shared this lovely picture, and so I held out a shred of hope as I clicked on \”American Beefcake.\”
*Ppppbbbbttttt!*
Grrr. I don’t know why my HTML links never work in your comments! The link is supposed to go with the words “last time.”
*sigh*
I feel … shortchanged. But then, Our Lex isn’t really equipped to evaluate the finer grades of beefcake, neh?
Lemme help you out here
Now THAT is beefcake.
Very, very naughty of you Lex…
I like the Oktoberfest girls better. They look more… well… innocent.
BTW, the person in the Stars& Stripes bikini looks like a guy. But what do I know?
Sorry, FbL, Babs, BCR – I have been naughty. One or more of you should combine to deliver a spanking.
A spanking, a spanking!!!
And rt66doc, I admit the Oktoberfest girls do have that look of innocence about them, and that it’s charming. But as for the second part? *rubs his eyes*
I’m just not seeing it
bad cat robot, thanks for providing the rea; beefcake.
No spankings for you, Lex! You haven’t been a good bad boy
I’m glad that BCR provided some eye candy to help us gurlz celebrate the day.
Here’s another patriotic pic for the chickies …
Oh, Lex! The other ladies are right, that was bad. Although, it’s also what we’re fighting for. At least partly; some of us. South Park–how much more American can you get?
damn it…. Lex, that is just SO unfair! At least ALa posted that same picture with a picture of an boatload of shirtless honeys on the deck of a ship.
mmmm…. My Vin…..delish!
BCR, you’re my hero.
“Oh… the things I’m gonna do for my country”.
Now THAT’S a patriot! Take one for the Gipper, Vin! Better yet… take a kitten or two for the Gipper!
*swoon… THUD*
Outstanding.
Sorry girls, I’m voting for the spanking…
Until that happy moment, ladies, here is what beefcake is all about:
mmmm…. Takin’ an outdoor shower with Vin… mmmmmm
*sigh*
they even list Vin avatar images….
*sigh*
OK Lex, you opened the door. It just might be time to close it again! At the very least turn moderate on for all!
Sheeeeeeshhhh, ladies!
Okay Lex, you opened the door.
Yup. See what happens when you antagonize us ladies? It would’ve been so much simpler to just put up a nice pic for us and be done with it…
And Kris, very nice! I’ve had a crush on Pierce Brosnan since Remington Steele… *sigh*
And yes, I was a bit young for Remington Steele. But what can I say? I was a precocious child.
omg… Matthew is SUCH a honey. And that accent? oh man.
*fans self*
darn! Lex left his barn door open and I missed it? darn…
oh. He left the “door” open. *nevermind*
*smacks Lex and Sgt. B, who isn’t even here but deserves a good wack every once in a while*
Lioness & Sister – SO glad to be able to put smiles on your faces, since the “boys” seem to only think of themselves…
Pierce Brosnan is crush-worthy at any time, at any age. As for Matthew….hmmmmmmm.
Oh and lest I forget Vin – oh. my. goodness.
(And did you ladies notice that Lex is now moderating comments? Since when? Are we not trustworthy anymore? Or…was it just me…)
Hey, I don’t just think of myself! I offered up a spanking after all. But no, you leave the door open and what do you get?
Nobbut all these felines coming in and rubbing themselves all over the furniture.
Pah.
Lex – I voted for the spanking… just so you know.
And what did you expect, putting up a picture of Barbie, erm I mean Jessica…plastic indeed. Tattoo’d on her derriere it says “Made by Mattel”… Not that you boys care…
Vin. Matthew. Pierce. Real men for real women. Yup, furniture rubbing, if that’s what you want to call it. ;-D
Excellent response, Kris!
…rubbing themselves all over the furniture.
Would you prefer the rubbing to occur elsewhere?
*running away before she gets completely out of line*
^ *knows enough about women to keep his mouth shut at this point*
Lioness – thank you! Props to all the ladies here today – showing the men what beefcake REALLY is…
http://www.colinfarrell.org/
mmmm… I’d like to be rubbing myself all over something….. esp. after looking at My Vin and Matthew and Colin and.. and… and… ohhhhh my…. !!!!!!
Hey! Respect my Authoritie!!!
One more time, for all the ladies:
And lest the men think this place has been permanently taken over:
yeah…. respect THIS Cartman….
*FLASH*
*giggle*
Birthday of the American Republic, and Birthday of the Bikini.
Coincidence? I think not.
Well, whomever that is, is “hawt”…
… but I still don’t think people ought to be making underwear out of our flag.
Dave,
I agree. The picture is hawt… but I honestly have a problem with people wearing the flag like that. It seems disrespectful, even though it’s not a real flag, like the one Kid Rock wore a few years ago.
Kris… I absolutely LOVE your thoughts on BEEFCAKE! OMG.. you frikkin’ RAWK!
Well, I suppose that I could photoshop that thing off of her…
Well thanx Sis – it’s nice to know good quality beefcake is appreciated…and let’s face it, that stuff is USA Grade A Prime… Vin, Matthew, Pierce, Johnny, Colin – finger lickin’ good!
I too am not a fan of our flag used as body decorations of any kind. Even if it is the bodacious bod of Jessica Simpson (Kid Rock – eww).
Lex – Didn’t know this site was moving in a “different direction”. You go with your bad self and photoshop away. I’m sure Doc, Dave, Zane, Sim and all the other boys lurking out there (incl. my hubby) would enjoy that….
Is this still a mil/nav blog?… SWEET JESUS, “finger lickin’ good!”. I almost spewed my coffee all over the screen. Kris a more decorous approach would be welcome. Best
PS, Jessica would be much better off if she lost that Bikini.
Snake – yeah, right, “…more decorous approach…” and advocating nudity – seems like a conundrum to me.
Besides, Lex started it with his “faux beefcake” link for the ladies. Serves him right.
And glad I could provide a little spewing fun – can’t be all serious all the time, right?
Kris, I learned as a young 02 surveying the high life in South East Asia to ALWAYS avail myself of a “conundrum” …I’am sure my sea dog colleagues would concur… Best
Heh. Yahh.
So Lex, is this what you envisioned for this post topic?
Lex, remember…As ye sow so shall ye reap. Best
PS. that Kris is getting to be a real scold.
Scold??? Is that Navy-speak? I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way…
*giggle*
Kris, I was about to say I had no idea you had this kind of capability. Then I remembered your description of visiting your son at the USNA… *LMAO!*
I can imagine Lex’s expression were this face-to-face… but I’d love to see the other guys’ faces.
Actually, this has taken off in quite a different direction than I had anticipated.
Was it the “beefcake” thing?
As if.
Something tells me this took off in exactly the direction you
expectedwere looking for. It’s been a while since the girls came out in full force to play. I guess you must have been missing them.So Happy 4th of July, y’all. And Lex … you’re a bad, bad man, me thinks.
He can be taught!
Lex, had you simply been a gentleman and made sure the ladies were also entertained, I\’m sure this whole thread could\’ve been conducted with less female input and far more \”decorum.\”
*wicked grin*
Kris, SCOLD is not Navy speak but plain ole civilian speak with synonyms such as upbraid, berate, revile and my personal favorite NAG. ….. “if the shoe fits and all that”.. Which one do you prefer? Best
PS Lex,for me it was the “finger likin’ good” thing.
PPS Fbl. Does S..t eating grin quilify?
Snake Eater, “qualify” as what? Decorous? Never! But personally I think decorum is highly over-rated.
At least in certain situations…
Nothing in Hollywood has interested me since John Wayne. I prefer me real men to be real (with a working brain).
Also, take it easy on Lex….he’s *just* an airedale, after all.
WK – love the gratuitous slap of Sgt. B, especially in light of his comment at the Castle today.
My tastes run more towards………

Maggie, who said anything about brains? We were talking pure 100% Beefcake.
When talking of real men, a mind is a must, of course.
