#121 - Dudes Around Here Break Out the Shorts REAL Early























The low here today in Mad Town is 11 degrees and the high is 28, but the sun's supposed to stay out all day and that means it's an excellent time to continue conducting my ongoing photo safari: Dudes Around Here Break Out the Shorts REAL Early.

One of my favorite things about Madison is the way the men of this town treat shorts. Many wear them all year round--the Fed Ex guy who comes to my house is an all-shorts-all-the-time guy and when I asked him why he said simply: "My legs don't get cold." But even if you set aside these extreme cases, you'll still find a lot of people around here breaking out the shorts at the slightest provocation.

So, in the spirit of past photo essays, People Whose Asses Are Wider Than Their Shopping Carts, Females Bringing Their Own Pillows On Planes, I present: Dudes Around Here Break Out The Shorts REAL Early. One thing to note: Unlike People Whose Asses Are Wider Than Their Shopping Carts, Dudes Who Break Out The Shorts REAL Early tend to be quite fleet of foot and therefore are harder to capture on film. That is why most of these shots are from behind. If you sight your own early adapter to short pants, please include the date and ambient temperature and send me the photo at chrisconnollyonline@yahoo.com.



#120 - Somewhere Along the Way, We Forgot How to Party

I got this today from my friend GML II. Check out how much fun this looks. AT 1:10, when Doctor Chubb Funk lapses into "bullet time" I almost passed out from all the awesome.



PS: I'm working on a new photo essay called, "Dudes Around Here Break Out the Shorts Real Early." If you see any guys wearing shorts in 14 degree weather, please take pics and send them along.

Does this mean God and the Holy Ghost love me, but Jesus is dissenting? Or does it mean the quality of truck stop bathroom proselytizing is plunging?

#117 - Bull Dallying: Kinder Than Bull Fighting, But Not Much
















No matter where you stand on the propriety or impropriety of bullfighting, one thing is pretty much indisputable: It's no fun for the bull. Also unfun, but considerably less stabby, is the up-and-coming sport called "bull dallying," or, to use a word from this century, "bull teasing."
