The Daily Picture
Apr 19, 04 | 4:28 am by John T. Kennedy In comments over on Patri’s blog I see some questions and objections have been raised about the Daily Pictures featured here. Patri suggests there that perhaps we’re trying to appeal to a male audience, but that’s really not the case. We’re only trying to please ourselves here.
I usually select the picture, but frequently they are recommended by Lynette. We have highly compatible tastes so you probably wouldn’t be able to tell which ones she’s picked. I’d say her picks have been of consistently higher quality than mine on average, but they fit well with mine. I also take recommendations from Sabotta; you’d have less difficulty figuring out which ones he’d picked.
It’s been asserted that these pictures objectify women, but I would say that any such objectification is in the mind of the beholder. I don’t have the slightest difficulty distinguishing a real woman from a representation of the feminine. The purpose of these pictures is to evoke and celebrate a sense of life that incorporates Eros. If they are not to another individuals taste that’s fine, but the pictures are there to suggest the delights possible in a unique attraction between individuals. I know that’s an awfully big purpose for a little bit of cheesecake - but there it is.

Can you guess which of the above images was selected by Lynette for this piece?

Apparantly your cheesecake isn’t a problem if the discerning reader deploys “Galeon’s image blocking” - whatever that is.
However, if you do happen to be unfortunate enough to view the cursed videotape, or run afoul of little Melissa, I’d suggest something more proactive than just closing your eyes.

I only read NT for the articles, anyway.

The sci-fi chick is awesome.

This is obviously a thinly veiled reference to Miss December 22nd 2002.
“Turn Ons: Gunplay, sailors, fly-fishing, and brainy guys who only read NT for the articles.”

Uhm, how do I write the young lady above? Strictly for cerebral purposes, though. I also have a few fly fishing secrets I would like to share.

I thought I saw this young lady when I was fly fishing once, but by the time I got out of my waders, she was gone.
April 19th, 2004 at Apr 19, 04 | 8:45 pm
And who can blame her?
April 19th, 2004 at Apr 19, 04 | 10:11 pm
Yeah, but I only wanted to discuss the finer points of her presentation.

This conversation is over until you put the waders back on.

Always trying to get the attention of the ladies…

“Am I wrong?”
Far from it. Thanks, John.
