You are hot.

bodybuilder

Last week, I took a picture of Clair, Good Grief! (male) reader and resident cynic, and declared him hot. Now everyone wants to get in on the action. Is Clair really hot? Can I be hot? What determines hotness, anyway?

Sassy J, reader and art historian, is proposing a “men of Good Grief!” contest in which she and a few others will preside and make the ultimate “hot or not” decision. Well, I take feedback and suggestions seriously, but I’m gonna have to put the kibosh on this idea, even though I’m sure that Sassy and her team are qualified judges.

  • Hotness is subjective.
  • There is already a Hot or Not website. Submit your picture there and let us know how it turns out.
  • What is this? Reality TV? Hey, let’s all vote each other off the weblog!

So here’s the new policy. If you read this weblog, you are damn good looking and have excellent taste. If you read this weblog and make comments, you are hot, intelligent, and witty. So let’s take the rest of the day off and bask in our collective hotness.

    Of course I realized my suggestion was ridiculous–I was just trying to goad you or Clair into an explanation of his particular hotness–since you taunted us with it with no evidence. Plus, any need I have to take in male hotness is totally taken care of by the summer Olympics. The human form is really beautiful. And Clair, you don’t need to be an Olympian to be hot.

    True, Sassy J. I’m not much into sports, but there were some pretty hot Olympic swimmers and gymnasts on TV last night. But it’s so fleeting–if you’re not smart or funny, your hotness fades pretty quickly.

    I’ll be happy to provide the Clair evidence, but I can’t do it without his permission!

    I’m just commenting so I can be hot, intelligent and witty. beats the hell out of working out, eating right and watching those icky educational channels.

    I am hot in my own mind, and that is all that matters.

    My office is hot (bad air conditioning air flow).

    My office is hot too, but only because I am in it.

    “Boss? I’m taking the rest of the day off on account of hotness– my own.”

    Enjoy reading your site– and I’m not just saying that to show how intelligent and witty I am. ;)

    Hey, your hotness is probably distracting everyone and reducing company productivity. Can’t have that!

    Breaking news (I love working in an office with gay men) there is a website dedicated to Hot Olympians!

    As one of the gay men in the office, I would like to take partial credit for the discovery of droolworthy material such as Hot Olympians. :)
