Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I do believe it was.

I am looking for it now, actually, and having to wade through a lot of porn.

They had several very different body types, there was a weight lifter, two syncro swimmers, Carl Lewis... I can't remember who else.

“Not dead yet!”

I found a reference to Life Magazine's Celebration of the Olympic Body, but haven't found a date yet.

Funny x-post

And oh my... he's so, so beautiful.

Either there were multiple covers or they did it more than once (I think it was the former) because I'm seeing a second cover that I will not link to -- its neighbors are, um, not so much Olympians...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

OMG people. I just realized that I accidentally unsubbed to Natter a whole day ago!!

And I didn't realize it until I found myself thinking "why aren't we all nattering about the incredibly adorable wee Aussie twink in the diving?", and I found my way back to the thread (OMG DON'T LET ME DO THAT EVER AGAIN!!) and we still aren't!

(Of course, nekkid Olympians are a perfectly good distraction.)

"why aren't we all nattering about the incredibly adorable wee Aussie twink in the diving?"

Wasn't he just the cutest little thing? He looked so stunned. I felt bad for Boudia. I wish he could've not mangled his last dive quite so spectacularly.
