Happy Friday everyone !!!!
Let’s keep rolling with the disqualified contestants from the homoerotic photo contest. This one was a no-brainer. Freddy Mercury was disqualified because he’s gay. While this might seem discriminatory, I would like to re-iterate: there is nothing, in my mind, inherently funny about homoeroticism. The whole point of this rather pointless contest was to revel in the irony of straight guys (primarily from the world of heavy metal) dolling themselves up in a misguided attempt to turn on the ladies.
Having said that, there is something pretty great about the outfit Freddy’s wearing. My 3-year old son has a pair of pajamas that kind of look like this (without the sequins) and whenever he wears them I say “hey, sing Bohemian Rhapsody for me”. He doesn’t know I’m busting on him…..heh heh heh. So to get things perfectly clear, homoeroticism: not funny. Busting on your 3-year old: funny.
Thanks (for a second straight week) to Chris from Inane Thoughts and Ramblings for this picture.
“Would you like a wiener with your beans?”
Wait. He’s gay?
Awww, Freddy. I’ll always love him!
How can he be gay? He is the champion, HE IS THE CHAMPION. He even threatened to “rock you”.
Besides, I think it was Jesus who famously admonished: “Let he who is without a blue, low-cut, sequined pair of pajamas cast the first stone.” (Or something to that effect.)
If I ever meet Paul Stanley I’m gonna say, “Does Freddie Mercury know that you raid his wardrobe?”
And then I’ll start singing “Tears Are Falling.”
Cruel of you not to add sequins to your son’s jammies.
Dude, are you okay? It’s been two weeks.
as someone who knows the man behind anandamide (though based on these recent posts you wouldn’t necessarily know his gender) he is indeed alive and well, just in a busy period right now. my personal theory is that he’s running out of material but I’m sure he’ll prove me wrong.
hey! All these photos except the Hendrix one could qualify as homoerotic! I have a dress that looks like the shirt Dio’s wearing!
Where you go? Without the fire it’s getting a little chilly around here.
never fear gentle readers….i’m on vacation and forgot to put up one of those lame “career retrospective” posts i usually put up when i go away.
although james is right, i have been a little short on ideas as of late. hopefully this vacation has subliminally filled my head with the majesty of rock.
strange note: since going on vacation my hit count has almost doubled. i’ve been averaging about 850 hits a day. i have no idea where all this new traffic came from. as i’ve said before, there’s something sad about the fact that this site seems infinitely more popular when i stay away from it….
Anandamide, have you gone the way of Freddie Mercury?
You’ve got Mud on Your Face, Anandamide, or is that just a shot of Mercury dangling off your chin? Homoerotic jocks everywhere chant WE WILL ROCK YOU under the Friday Night Lights while dressed in tights. Rock on, Freddy, you are the (disqualified) champion.
Ahem. Dude, I don’t know if you’re still blogging but I have a picture on my blog today that you might be very interested in. Homoerotic, indeed. And maybe slightly bestial!
Hey all,
Again, let me confirm I’m alive and well…just working on a VERY large project that takes all my blogging time.
That’s right, I’m running for president !!!
Mawkishly says : I absolutely agree with this !
Back in the day when “nobody was gay”, my friends’s dad would always tell us that Freddy was gay. Now it’s so friggin obvious.
