If one begins with the somewhat controversial premise that heterosexuality is an essential quality of cowboys, i believe it follows that the men in the video are reverse cowboys.
hey -- i'm waiting for idealist in grand central terminal and using thee tartan week computers to surf unfogged111 -- fun -- except the shift key does not work well.
It's not that gay. Except for the pairs spins near the end, it's mostly just a lot of guys in jeans selling it to their female fans and a lot of tight footwork.
As a side note, figure skating is very homophobic. Only one well-known skater has really come out; many of the rest won't because there's a fear that the judges will score them more harshly. (Estimates say about 30% of male skaters are gay.)
But really, if there's a place where everyone's gonna assume it anyway, you'd think it would be skating....
21 -- Yeah me too. Alas the putatively Scots folk are only in townGrand Central Station for another couple days, and I had to leave the terminal after a little while when their minder moseyed over and started sizing me up -- I did not want any trouble. I reckon she was meaning to tell me I was only supposed to be surfing Scottish sitesthe site of the travel agency which is putting this thing on.
How lame is Tartan Week? The had line dancers performing to piped-in bagpipe music. 'S not as if fife and drum corpses are in short supply around here. WTF? And the thing certainly was not produced on a shoestring.
Dinner with Mr. IdeaList was a lot of fun, and La Espiga lived up to my memory of it. Seriously -- you guys ought to go eat there! Go on a weekend, when they have their full menu available, or on a weekday, when the limited menu rawks.

And yet, not a single one has a moustache.

Perhaps it is the cowboys who have moustaches!

Oooh, excellent point, Matt.

So cowboys are the reverse them?

Weiner, I sent you an email that speaks to the crucial issue of our time. Check, okay?

That *is* the gayest thing I have ever seen!
Posted by Jackmormon | Link to this comment | 04- 5-06 2:36 PM
It just... keeps getting gayer, the longer you watch!

It keeps getting longer, the gayer you watch.

It doesn't work. I am on tenterhooks.

Do you have the flash plug-in installed?
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 04- 5-06 2:54 PM
I do have flash, yeah. Crap!

Nevermind, got it through Uffish.
Gay. And yet, very hot.

Gay. And yet, very hot.
That is usually the case, yes.

Without Someone in a Tree nothing happened here.

You know, that is a great blog name, and I am pissed I never thought of it. Can I be Someone in a Tia?
Posted by Tia | Link to this comment | 04- 5-06 3:28 PM
It is insanely super hot, and that is something I rarely say.

guys all over blogland aspire to be Someone in a Tia.

I want to see more tartan in your commenting, Teh Modesto Kid.

Oh-ho, yes it is.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 04- 5-06 9:13 PM
I disagree with Someone in a Tree. It could not be gayer if they dropped trou at the end. Nothing beats the final tableaus of hats-on-cocks.
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 04- 5-06 9:18 PM
I kinda felt sorry for the one guy whose hat wouldn't stay up. Better luck next time, Peewee.

As I said privately to apostropher after watching it, I bet that ice rink's locker room smelled like lube for weeks.
Also, wicked hot. Gods almighty.

I believe this recruiting ad for the Japanese navy is gayer, but not as hott.

Anyone can hang a hat on their naked cock. It takes a superman to hang a hat on his cock through his jeans,

I'm going to go out on a limb (ha ha!) and say it depends on the jeans, too.
