Notes From The Editor's Desk

It has come to my attention that some of our loyal readers have felt more than a little uncomfortable with the feature "Tastefully Nude Friday". No longer is the blog "work safe" and cannot be viewed without judgemental stares, cat-calls, or unwanted passes being made. The assumption is that if said Dear and Gentle Reader is willing to follow the goings-on of a beer blog, and the beer blog contains nudity, that said Dear and Gentle Reader is A. a lush, B. a big "partier", or C. easy/swinger/a "goer"/harlot, or of loose morals. We do not want our readership branded with these disgusting and filthy labels, even if all of the above may be true.

Therefore, is is the decision of this Editor to kill the feature. No longer will buxom lasses with big asses be shown. Nor will well endowed studs grace our articles. (See article of March 9th, 2007) Not even celebritys wearing nothing but canines. Nothing more scanty than the occasional bare ankle or elbow be pictured here. Rest easy, Dear and Gentle Reader. We will no longer assault you with smut.

Yours in print,
Doc

  1. As you know, I'm behind this for the most part, but no Hasselhoff with puppies? Awww!

    Tastefully Nude Friday wasn't an entirely bad idea. It just got out of control. If SOME people (okay, one person and you know who you are)could control themselves, maybe we could bring it back someday.

  2. I TOLD doc to stop puttin them naughty, naughty, naughty pix up, but he just wouldn't listen to me!! Sheesh!!

    Actually, I too never checked this blog @ work for fear n' wonderment of what might appear. Then again, as all of our internet trafficking is monitored by Big Brother, I don't check ANY blogs at work, no matter how sweet n' tender they may bes.

  3. you know, I would've thought that review of that russian beer would've brought us a lil' red dot from that area...

    On that note, You'd think that half-clad and nekkid folks would've called in a few, too, cuz it's so close to the artic circle and I doubt there's many beach bunnies up thar...

  4. I am truly sorry for all of the "filth" that I posted. I can only hope that should I get to Heaven, it won't be counted against me. What can I say? I like boobs. Is that so wrong? Please don't tell me it is. Most of my decisions in life have been influenced by boobs.

  5. I'd like to lodge a formal protest over the cessation of Tastefully Nude Friday. I demand it's re-institution.

  6. Dear johnny yen,
    There is nothing I would like more than to re-institute this feature, but the hate mail was starting to pile up. One reader wanted to know why these women weren't wearing their veils as Allah intended them to. As editor, I tried very hard to cater to the desires of our female readership, but other than the nude photo of David Hasselhoff, got nothing but boo's and jeer's. When Big Orange suggested having Tastefully Nude Friday, I thought it was a grand idea, and I still do, but the stink was just too much. If you can come up with a suggestion, hell, I'd love to hear it. I liked having the occasional boob to stare at as I sipped my Friday cold one, and if we can find some way to do it, I'm all for it.

    Now I am not tech savy, but is there some way we could just put up the "link" to our Friday nude? That way the reader would have the option of looking, or not looking, at our end of the work week beauties? Please help. I hate to see the thing go down in flames, but there needs to be some way to regulate it, so as not to offend our more "puritanical" readers.

  7. I will take back my resignation if I can be EXCLUSIVELY in charge of Tastefully Nude Friday.

    If I do it, it will actually be tasteful, unless I find something that's too funny to pass up.

  8. I'm sorry my dear, did you resign? I have not recieved any formal notification that you had moved on. There is a lot of clutter on my desk that I haven't gotten around to, and even if you sent it along, I'm sure it hasn't been notarized. As far as I know, you are still "on staff". If you need to change desks, I have no qualms with that. Please do whatever you can to save tastefully nude friday. The only problem that you face is we CANNOT have the photos appear here. This must be kept "work safe". Can we put up links? Please, we need some friday boobs and if anyone but you handles it, it will come off like a Larry Flynt production. We need racy. We need saucy. We need risique. We need your sense and sencibility, but don't do it for me, don't do it for Big Orange, don't even do it for your country. Do it for johnny yen!

  9. yes: we can put up pix on PhotoBucket and merely link to the pix. that way no one will get in trubble at work.

  10. Doc-- how about creating a separate blog and providing the link on Fridays?

    My thought on the hate mail? As I told my wife, when she objected to something I'd posted, I said "Feel free not to click over to my blog."
