Hump Day & Chill

Classic Playgirl
Ernie Langeberg

It's that time of the week again Minions where we take some me time and Hump Day & Chill. One of the things I have always loved about Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things is his interviews with men who have graced the pages of Playgirl Magazine.

Tye always manages to provide an interesting, informative and entertaining look into how the male in question ended up being propositioned to take it all off for the publication and their thoughts and feelings about why they did it.

Well for today's Hump Day & Chill fest we have Peter's Story as part of the Classic Playgirl history. Not to give too much away, but his story tells the tale of how a University Psychology class assignment ended up becoming an offer to appear in the magazine.

Even though there are no photos of Peter with his story, there are plenty of other images of man flesh from the Classic Playgirl era, four to be exact, including Ernie Langeberg pictured above.

"Yes" you read that correctly Minions, there are four studs for you to choose from for your Hump Day & Chill enjoyment.

Get to it! Click on the link below, these guys can't Hump Day & Chill alone...

Just Because...Jon Hamm

Who's Your Daddy?
Jon Hamm

Just Because he fills out his sweats nicely, Just Because it's Father's Day (think about it, but not too much) and Just Because he's bringing Bucket Hats back, here's Jon Hamm leaving a liquor store with what looks like an energy drink.

Happy Father's Day to all of you Daddy's out there (now do you get why Jon is my poster guy for it???) - Anyway nothing beats a Hamm sighting in sweatpants, although it does not look like Jon is up to his freeballing ways from this shot. Which is a bummer, I know he got a lot of attention for it in the press when Mad Men was on the air. Perhaps he decided to tie the Kraken down to avoid the unwanted(?) focus it drew.

Whatever the case a nice casual photo of him out and about is always a welcome sight.

Seize the day Minions!

Hump Day & Chill

Don't Step On My Blue Suede Shoes
Elvis

"Elvis, Elvis, let me be
Keep that pelvis far from me" - Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee

You ain't nothing but a hound dog this Hump Day & Chill with none other than the King of Skin, Elvis! What?! You weren't actually expecting the King of Rock in the flesh now, were you? Were you???

While this Elvis does have his swagger it's of an entirely different kind, the carnal kind. Wait the other Elvis had that too, Hmmmmmmmm, how to define the difference is the question?

I have the answer to that question, see the difference for yourself by having a Hump Day & Chill moment and clicking on the link below to Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things to enjoy the Full Elvis.

That's correct Minions, the Full Elvis, if you get my drift and I believe you do...

Where there's a will, there's a Hump Day & Chill after all!!!

Alfresco

Alfresco
Brad Falchuk & Gwyneth Paltrow 

With all the turmoil happening in these troubled times I thought it would be a good thing to take a moment and hang out with Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Brad Falchuk and dine Alfresco with them in the back of their car in Santa Monica, CA.

Don't they look so chill and happy? I think they do. Thus this is your assignment today, you have no choice but to accept it.

Find your Happy Place, something that makes you relaxed, something that soothes your inner savage beast. 

Mine will be to meditate, I lay on my living room floor, close my eyes on focus on all the positive things in my life. It's amazing how I feel after and it really shifts your focus to a good place.

So pack your bags Minions it's time for you to take a trip to your Happy Place. The train has arrived so get on board! Don't forget to take some Alfresco with you!

Sign O' The Times

I just want your extra time and your, Kiss

Selma Blair & Ron Carlson

Hello Minions, in case you are wondering it's Monday. This photo of Selma Blair and her guy Ron Carlson sharing a kiss while waiting for coffee in Studio City, CA perfectly captures a moment in time during this point of history of the world.

I mean come on, nothing says pandemic more then a masked kiss in public between two love birds. Except for perhaps the bird that is attacking people in my neighborhood. Yeah there's a bird who obviously is aggressive about defending it's nest even though it's up in a tree and the sidewalk is three feet away from it, when people walk by the bird starts making loud nasty noises and then comes at you. It pecked me and one of my neighbors (and more I'm sure I don't know about) in the back. So there's that going on too.

Too bad it was too frantic for me to catch a photo of, so now I walk on the opposite side of the street from the side my apartment building is actually on. Meh.

Enjoy your Monday, "Yes" it's Monday, really I promise 😎

Bringing Up Baby

Oh Daddy!
Anderson Cooper

Look walking the streets of New York City, it's new Daddy Anderson Cooper stepping out no doubt to get some sustenance for his newly arrived son Wyatt Morgan Cooper.

That's correct Minions for all of you who always thought "Oh Daddy" when you saw Anderson, well now it's not just a euphemism, it's a literal fact!

His first child's name is a tribute to his late parents, Wyatt for his father, Wyatt Emory Cooper who passed when he was ten. Morgan a family name from his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, who passed June of last year.

Even during a pandemic life keeps happening, and we keep living to the fullest day by day.

Wishing Daddy Anderson and baby Wyatt and all of you the best, seize the day Minions!

The Quarantine Shuffle

Wonder Woman
Lynda Carter

Like most of us I have been watching way more TV of late. Hey, what are we Corn Teen minions supposed to do with limited options???

Well yesterday while channel surfing I struck Television Gold! "Yes" I was feeling my inner Yukon Cornelius when I stumbled upon a two part Batman episode with Julie Newmar as the Catwoman on, followed by an episode of Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner. 

The thing I remembered most about these shows from my days of yore was that they were silly fun. What I really did not recall was how skilled the actors were in bringing depth to that silliness. 

Catwoman
Julie Newmar

Julie Newmar brought surprising pathos to her performance as the kinky Catwoman, even though the material she was given on Batman was pure camp on a stick, Ms. Newmar really understood what she was doing and how to elevate it. 

Likewise Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman and Lyle Waggoner as Major Steve Trevor. They all elevated something silly into something magic.

I truly enjoyed rediscovering these two old friends, sometimes The Quarantine Shuffle isn't too shabby.

Bang A Pot & Give A Yell!

Clan, Clang, Clang Went The Pot...
Sarah Silverman 

Apparently there is a new tradition happening in NYC during this time of quarantine. The citizens of the Big Apple take to their balconies at a designated time and bang pots and yell in support of essential workers "healthcare workers, delivery store workers and delivery people."

What a great way to boost morale in the hard hit city. Above we see Sarah Silverman enthusiastically joining her fellow New Yorkers in the much deserved recognition. 

Thus I leave you with this notion, try to do something every day that helps put a smile on you and other peoples faces. Trust me it is amazing. The few times I venture out during the week I always smile at people as I pass them on the street or shop side by side with them for groceries.

It's a simple yet powerful thing to do.

Keep on keeping minions!

Just Because...Gerard Butler

Great Balls Of Fire!
Gerard Butler 

Just Because we need a distraction from the chaos, Just Because I've got chills they're multiplying & Just Because he's a total stud, that's right minions it's time to get us some Gerard Butler! 

Look at Gerard as he carries the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Flame during the torch relay in Sparta, Greece. "Yes" peeps, just when you thought he couldn't get any hotter (pun intended) we get Flaming Butler!

Honestly I am surprised they even had the torch relay given everything going on in the world at large. But I'm glad they did so I could get a look at Man Candy in the form of one of my favorite fantasies. 

Hey Greece is the word after all.

Mic Drop!

Tunesday Tuesday!

No Explanation Needed

Today I celebrate one of my favorite bands evuh! That's correct minions time to take out the trash and bring on the Garbage!

I have seen them and heard them in concert at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA  - they were real and spectacular. Front woman Shirley Manson's vocals are the bomb!

So, here comes one of my favorite songs (actually all of their songs are my favorites) that really hits a home run as to what's happening now in the world.

"Yes" I, like all of us do, sometimes  "I Think I'm Paranoid" - well, seriously. Hey given everything that's happening now. I rest my case. 

Mic Drop... "You can look but you can't touch, I don't think I like you much, Heaven knows what a girl can do, Heaven knows what you've got to prove"

Hit the timely video after the jump, yeah, I said jump.

Monday Motivation

I'm Bad!
Cameron Diaz

Anyone catch the movie Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz? Bueller? I did with my then BF and found it quite amusing. It popped into my writing mind this ayem and is what inspired today's Monday Motivation.

While I toil away the hours memorizing for a test. "Yes" that's correct minions yours truly is storing info in his computer brain via text. Thus it made me think about teachers and such. The good ones, not the bad ones, but whilst ruminating on the good ones Bad Teacher popped into my consciousness. Because it was funny, Cameron Diaz was great in it & even the lamest of teachers can teach you a lesson. They make the good ones stand out.

Being as that our public education system is under fire I would like to give a hat tip and a high five to all those teachers who care. I had a few of them and they really shaped certain aspects of who I am today. I can only hope kids now have the same kind of caring individuals I did to help guide them.

Oh "Yes" I had a a couple of teachers I would have liked to wish into the corn field, and some that did their job but were not particularly inspiring. But you take the good you take the average and try to laugh at the bad, copy?

Anyway it's the good teachers that are giving me life and Monday Motivation today. Thanks for the kick in the ass to keep on keeping, and werk!
