Photo Phriday: Can Charlie Crack Corn?

Happy Phriday little birds! Are you ready to “C” each other?

OHMYGODIMSOCLEVER

Ladies, Gentleman and Straight Men™, here is your mission: Share something you own that involves the letter “C“. It could be a computer. It could be a calendar. It could be a Chevrolet. It could be cocaine. Anything! As long as it starts with the letter C. Here’s mine: A Service Change sign for the C Train. I have a bunch of these because it was how I rebelled against the MTA. This post will not self-destruct. Do not be alarmed.

Happy Hump Day

Oh my. I almost forgot Hump Day this week. What would you have done? OK, here are some random people I think are sexy. Forgive my lack of theme, but I am sure you will all come up with something. Same rules as always, no naughty bits.

Here’s a young, hot Richard Chamberlain.

Wow.

And let’s go with some classic Lynda Carter.

 

More wow.

Once again, a tip on photo sizing. When you do a google image search, if you click on medium on the left column you will get images that don’t take up the whole page. This will make it easier for the page to load and for readers to scroll down. You’re welcome.

Have a great Hump Day.

 

 

Photo Phriday: Want to hop in the sack?

Welcome to the almost-but-not-really Tax Day edition of PhotoFriday. I’m Pssshwhatever and I’ll be your host for this week’s installment, which is all about handbags. Or your bed. Whichever.

I have a weird fashion industry job that I shouldn’t really be able to get paid for doing, and in my particular case, that means handbags indirectly pay my rent. And then sometimes they make it difficult to pay said rent, as was the case the month that I made the inadvisable purchase of the Celine tote that you see at the top of the page. So ladies, show us your handbags – your favorite one, the one you carry everyday, the backpack that you take to class. Surprise us.

Menfolk: You’re not excluded either. Show us your wallets, briefcases (I’m going to be extremely impressed if any of you actually own leather briefcases) or laptop bags. Hell, even your gym bag, if it’s worth showing. I will kindly ask that you not show us your balls. (Sorry, Gooch.) That’s not the kind of sack I’m talking about.

Or, alternately, show us a different kind of sack – your bed. That is my extremely cheap Target (it’s Dwell for Target, thankyouverymuch) comforter in the background; I felt it only right that as your host, I go for the double-whammy.

A note on posting images:

Upload your picture to a service like Flickr, Picasa or TinyPic and make sure that you have it set as a publicly viewable file. Right-click on the picture (or for Mac users, do the two-finger tap) and select “Copy Image URL” or whatever similar option the menu gives you. Then, paste that URL into the designated space of the code below:

Or, if you would rather have something that you can actually copy:

[img src=”IMAGE URL HERE”]

Replace the [ with a < and the ] with a >.

Et voila, y’all.

PhotoPhriday: The Blackout Edition

Citizens, crasstalkers, cat ladies. It’s time for our weekly ramble through each others’ lives, made possible through the magic of the internets. In keeping with our boozy theme today, I want to see your alcohol. All of it. Do you have a single beer in the fridge? If that’s the case, shame on you. Bad, bad cat lady (those in recovery are, of course, forgiven). Do you have a fully stocked bar that would put most watering holes to shame? (Of course you do.) Do you keep a bottle of bourbon in a hollowed out book in your office? Show it to me. For those of you who are new, or live in open threads, here are the rules and here are your instructions (taken and modified from earlier PP posts):

  • This is the magic computer code you use to make pictures appear: 
    • <img src=”http://www.photosite.com/yourphoto.jpg” />.
  • And it’s a URL, not photo file.  Crasstalk doesn’t accept files from your hard drive – only from the Internet. You can upload your photo to Facebook, Flickr, TinyPic, or any other online photo hosting site to generate a URL for the photo. For many of those LOLcats/dogs/monkeys I can’t seem to quit foisting on all of you, I use ImageShack or imgur
  • Also, be sure to add a few words of text with your picture so it doesn’t get tripped up in the site’s spam filter.
  • To pick up an image online, right click (or ctrl-click on a Mac) on an image and select “View Image” or “Copy Image URL/Location.” Copy-and-paste the URL and plug it into the img src html code.

Get to it, kids. And remember, drunk posting is always encouraged.


In return, we will be sympathetic tomorrow.

Happy Hump Day

Well hello you dirty little birds! I am not even going to pretend there is any other reason that we are all here except for our barely controllable lust. How do any of us even make it though the day? Anyway, here is some sporty sexiness I have found this week.

I don't know what his name is, and I don't care.
She is holding a pole.

If you all will excuse me, I think I need to head to the showers. Enjoy.

Bad Country Music Wars

Last week, we had a battle battle for Light Rock supremacy here at Crasstalk. After the dust settled and the weak were vanquished, it was suggested that our next battle involve both kinds of music.

So here you go warriors. Let the battle of the cheesy and terrible begin. Here are a couple to get you started.

Let’s mix in some obligatory patriotism.

This is why I never tell people I grew up in Nebraska.

All right warriors, you know what to do. May God have mercy upon your soul.

Photo Phriday: Say ‘Cheese!’

Welcome to the April Fools’ edition of Photo Phriday!  I hope your day was full of merriment, pranks, and foolishness. It has come to my attention many of you are having a bad day/week/month/life.  Wasn’t this week one of the worst? However, you know what always makes me feel better?

Seeing someone smile.

So, I want to see your smile! If you’re too self-conscious to show us your pearly whites, feel free to post a picture of something that makes you grin every time you lay eyes on it. This could include pictures of, well, just about anything! The only rule is the picture has to make you smile.

This guy knows what to do.

Have fun, babes!

Just follow these helpful tips for image sharing, adapted from previous Photo Phriday instructions:

  • This is the magic computer code you use to make pictures appear: [img src=”PHOTO URL HERE”]. NOTE: Replace the brackets with the carrots < >.
  • And it’s a URL, not photo file.  Crasstalk doesn’t accept files from your hard drive – only from the Internet. You can upload your photo to Facebook, Flickr, TinyPic, or any other online photo hosting site to generate a URL for the photo.
  • Also, be sure to add a few words of text with your picture so it doesn’t get tripped up in the site’s spam filter.
  • To pick up an image online, right click (or ctrl-click on a Mac) on an image and select “View Image.” Copy-and-paste the URL and plug it into the img src html code.
  • To upload the picture you found, this is what you type (again, replacing the brackets with the greater than and less than symbols < >):

Flashback Friday: Just Let Your Soul Glow!

Ahhhh yeah baby. I’m way too excited for this. I know you Crasstalkers have been ready and waiting for today since last week so here we go.

Sam Cooke is a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. This song is so heart-breaking, so wistful, so poignant. There aren’t enough adjectives that are fitting for this song.

Now, let’s get funky with The Staples Singers. Roebuck “Pops” Staples, the patriarch of the family, formed the group with his children Cleotha, Pervis, Yvonne, and Mavis. Fun fact: Bob Dylan wanted to marry Mavis and asked for her hand in marriage. Can you imagine the talent their kid would have had?

Let me to just also add that videos from Soul Train’s Soul Train line will not be turned away. If you have been to a wedding and not done a Soul Train line, you have not lived.

Hump Day: A Salute to Classic Romance

Happy Hump Day Crasstalk. Hope you have been lucky in love this week (The GI has not, but she will try harder). Since Liz Taylor passed away last week I thought we could use some classic beauty to get us started.

I know people don’t consider this guy a Hollywood Hottie, but look at this picture of John Wayne.

Easy, Cowboy.

I’ve also always had a soft spot for Henry Fonda.

For those of you who like the ladies, here is a great picture of Liz.

 

Wowza!

This is Myrna Loy, who was not only a fantastic actress, but was a stunning beauty.

 

Oh my, it's getting warm in here.

Damn. So that’s why they called them the greatest generation. Remember to follow the usual rules here, and have a steamy day.
