Roy G Biv was a smart sumbitch.  If you didn’t take physics in school, you have no idea what that means probably.

Foreshadowing?  Yes.  But we’ll get to that, I promise.  First, some final business….

Sexy Friday has been on a bit of a non-hiatus-hiatus, in a manner of speaking, for the past couple of weeks.  If you’ve been reading along, then you already pretty much know why.  Or could at least figure it out in general unless you’re stupid.  Or drunk.  Or high (ooooh…foreshadowing for future weeks).

Well, that ends this week.

After weighing things in my (admittedly not perfectly normal) brain for a couple of weeks, I’ve decided two things:

1. I’ll never publicly put my email address out there again.  Not worth it.  No good deed…etc., etc.
2. The time has come to get back to the sorts of things I believe most of our readership is looking for on a Friday to unwind from the stress of a work week.

I realize that I’ll never please all of the people all of the time.  If anything is ever considered untoward by anyone, please do feel free to tell me.  But only if you can also manage to tell me why.  If you can also provide constructive suggestions that would be a bonus.

I promise I won’t bite.  Unless you’re a hot chick who wants me to bite.

Or pull your hair.  Or spank you, or…..

But I digress….

As I’ve already stated, much more harshly previously, I don’t know what you want if you don’t tell me.  That’s actually true for a lot of things in life now that I think about it.

But again, I digress….

Where was I?  Oh right……If you can’t tell me something constructive then it’s probably best for you to just not even read TGISF anymore.  I frankly don’t care either way anymore.

Televisions and radios have different stations for a reason.  Changing the channel is not difficult.  The button is right there.  Similarly, if TGISF isn’t your bag, no worries.  Your mouse won’t click on it without your approval.

From now on, I’m doing this the way I want to do it.  I’ll consider any and all suggestions, and promise to try to incorporate people’s requests as I’m able to.  Just ask Brocky…he’s still rubbing ’em out to the Glove Theme from several months back….

(Dammit….in about an hour, someone is gonna need to go get Brocky out of the DFO Clubhouse bathroom, btw….just saying….freaking weirdo)

Let’s listen to some shitty music and get that image out of our heads, shall we?

Well dangit, that didn’t help, did it?

OK….Bottom Line

Myself and the rest of the authors here do this for fun and fellowship.  With one another and also with all of you.  But we work our asses off to do it and none of us have a need nor a desire to hear pointless criticism without something constructive.  To hell with that.

Where TGISF is concerned specifically however, The Pimp of DFO now considers himself to be a benevolent dictator.

tl;dr :  I do it for you, but it belongs to me.  Imma do it how I see fit.  Fuck you if you can’t take a joke.

Now Let’s Get On With This and Have Some Fun FFS

So, what is this week’s theme going to be, considering I kinda want to make a big splash back into walking that line?

Body Painting.

So let’s saddle up and do this already, Cowpokes.  Yippe-kay-yay, MF’ers!!!!!

The Colorful World of Sports

NFL

There’s some football tonight.  Allegedly.  It won’t be good.  But you’ll watch anyway.

• Yinzburgh at Juice Boxers – 7:00pm EDT – TV: NFLN (oh god help us)
• Crablegs at Bungles – 7:30pm EDT – TV: No idea (and don’t care)
• 69’ers at Chefs – 9:00pm EDT – TV: NFLN (loads pistol, opens mouth)

MLB

While I haven’t mentioned it specifically up until now (because Chavez Ravine can suck a dick) …  But Holy hell have you seen what the Dodgers are doing?  Love or hate ’em (I hate ’em, fwiw), you can’t help but be impressed.  One month into the season, they were under .500 (10-12 is my recollection, but don’t quote me on that).  Now?  81-33.  Do the math.  That’s fucking insane.  Which only means they’re likely to lose in the NLDS and go away quietly.  Which is fine, but still.  What they’ve done since April is pretty amazing.

Now fuck off Dodgers, mostly because of your fans like this douche who wrote this for the LA Times.  As an aside, the LA Times might want to demand better standards for itself in the future.

/remembers it’s the LA Times

Tonight:

• Boston at NYY – 7:00pmEDT – MLBN (regional split)
• Cleveland at Tampa Bay – 7:00pmEDT – MLBN (regional split)

Tonight’s Full Schedule

Standings

GOLF

Shut up.  I’m not gonna bore you to death with golf.  But it’s the PGA at Quail Hollow and it’s the last major championship of the year so it’s getting mentioned.

I told you, I’m doing what I want from now on.

I’ve played this course before.  Relatively speaking for tour players, it is not a difficult course.  There will be some very low numbers posted I think (already have been, actually).

Body Painting

Bodypainting first really came to my attention when I first noticed the work of this lovely lady, an artist in Baltimore (shut up)…..

Yes, her top is painted on here…and I am in favor…

I remember thinking (and maybe also telling her, I can’t remember, we were acquaintances at best) that bodypainting was probably not a growth industry, so staking one’s financial and professional career on it might be a mistake.  Boy, was I ever wrong on that one.  Not only did it take off, but she’s making some pretty good scratch, and doing what she loves.  And good for her, I say.

As an aside, if it interests you, you should buy her book….

But here is some of her work…

Oh settle down, I can hear your groans from here.

I told you she was from Baltimore.  You all know me, you knew I was gonna find a way to slip the Orioles and the Ravens in.

Seriously, it’s as if you people just met me or something.

But in all seriousness, I find bodypainting interesting.  In addition to the appearance, also the process.  And not just for the artist.  I cannot imagine holding still for that long as a human canvas.

But in any case, the examples I’ve shown you so far have been tame.  Now we’re about to push some boundaries.

You’ve been warned.

*I should also mention that the rest of these photos are randomly chosen and are from no particular artist (including Jen) nor model.  Just whatever I find which fits our theme.

Let’s do this….

OK, I should probably quit now.  Imma already hear about nipples all weekend probably.  Probably won’t actually see any, other than my own perhaps.  Meh, mine are pretty cute, so I can accept that.  Maybe next week I’ll even show ’em to ya’s.

But that would excite LowCommanderoftheSuperSoldiers way way too much so…yeah, probably a bad idea.  He’s already way too gay for me.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Sincerely, I hope all of you are well and have a fun and colorful weekend.

Love ya’s.
