my favreite green bay packer
The jury is still out on whether or not I agree with Kevin about Favre's new buzzcut: 
I kinda liked him better with hair:
Critique and opinion in the comments section! Favre: buzzcut or flopsy-mop? Discuss. Regardless, his scruff remains, and it's always so frikkin' hot.
Went to the local Valley View Mall today to pick up a few things, and was yet again reminded as to why I like big, scruffy, burly blonde boys. It's because that's what I grew up seeing in front of me all the time. Lots of camo ballcaps, Carhartt jackets....grrrrrWOOOF! The honey pot is surely on fire, despite the cold weather. I even saw my old wrestling coach, who ain't lookin' too bad himself...
Here's what I wrote to submit to the opinion section of the local paper:
Homo for the Holidays
While home celebrating Christmas in the LaCrosse area with my family, I've been alarmed and disheartened by the almost daily anti-gay views featured in the Opinion section of the Lacrosse Tribune. What has happened here while I've been away? I recall growing up with a more "live and let live" attitude in this region, rather than this judgmental environment of righteous castigation.
I am guessing many here believe they've been given the green light by the man in the White House and his party to identify and attack whatever groups necessary in order to avoid greater issues such as the economy, war or health care. It's called scapegoating, a common and simple tool used by politicians. Just keep in mind, Ms. Peaslee, that your opinion has been featured in web logs on both the west and east coasts as an example of intolerance in Middle America. You've gobbled up what Mr. Rove has fed you quite well, and your righteous tummy is showing.
Mr. Griffing implies in his piece from Friday that I am evil. While I am a gay person originally from this area, I am pretty sure I am not evil. I do not wake up every morning plotting the destruction of heterosexual marriages. I was raised Lutheran, and remain a person of faith. I do not busy myself by gnawing at the foundations of civilization. I pay taxes, I love batterfried cheese curds, and I care deeply about the fate of this country and its people. To be called evil and to be told that I am here to destroy society hurts my feelings. Mr. Griffing and Ms. Peaslee: you are big meanies, and you have also been duped by powers outside of this region to view me as an actual threat to your lives.
Gay people just want to share the same joys, misery and challenges that straight people face every day, without having to be hushed by a righteous majority. We are not asking for much.

Must be something in the water with you and Dunner. Both of you a couple of cute, opinionated, scruffy and occasionally cranky boys from the same area. What are the odds?
Love ya both... Have a great holiday!

Brett- without is so hot. Just imagine that prickly hair rubbing on you Jimbo. Wait, I'll imagine that....

God damn he is a fox. You know what I think, but he could do whatever the fuck he wanted with me either way.

I'm a Vikings fan, so Brett can go to hell, as far as I'm concerned. ;-)
But yeah, I'm not that attracted to him. I've heard that Mississippi drawl come out of his mouth too many times...BIG turnoff in my book.
Gimme one of those not-so-burly Brewers or Wisconsin Badgers swimmers instead!
