A little shout-out of appreciation

So AfterElton: News, Reviews and Commentary on Gay and Bisexual Men in Entertainment and the Media just released their choices for the Hot 100 Men List. Granted, this may smack of exploitation a la Maxim's list of "hot women," but it prompts me to offer a short list of Guys Who Hang Out (Figuratively) at the Refuge Whom I Appreciate:

The Right Reverend Big Dumb Chimp. Sheer animal magnetism.

The incomparable Warren of The Indigestible. More than a delicious mouthful!

Saint Gasoline. Hot. Inflammatory. Don't pull his finger.

The luscious SDC a.k.a. mistaSteve of Words of Advice for Young People. Don't let that droll Hoosier humor lull you into thinking this guy is harmless.

Although they are not bloggers (as far as I know), I give honorable mention and the empty promise of a grooming session to the following fellas who often comment here:

hopper
J-Dog
Bill from Dover
Dr. Eye
gingerbaker

Although no one will ever replace the dudes of the erstwhile FrinkTank in my heart, the fellows above regularly put a smile on my wizened old face.

Okay, one more post and I swear I'll stop talking about sex/sexiness for awhile. A reader sent me a link to this page: the real hot 100.
If you are a meat eater, you probably appreciate the texture and flavor of a nice piece of loin, or a properly cooked pork chop, or a chicken breast that is moist and flavorful. But what is it about hot dogs that you appreciate? The pasty enigmatic texture?
Regular readers know that I'm really into smokin' hot sauces. I mean real hot. I'm the guy who the chefs at the local Thai restaurant know well enough to get their habanero paste ready for the medium rare steak flank.
Amanda, a fellow hot-pepper-lover, reminds me that I have not finished my Hot Pepper series.

"More than a delicious mouthful"?

Thanks! And apologies to those whose inner vision just went blind.

(Working on a pun that involves 'hoot' and pants', but I'm not quite there yet.)

Thanks Doc! You've got me blushing now, but perhaps that's just part of my act...

Number 4? Who's a fella gotta groom around around here?
