The Conservative Wahoo: The Demise of the Cup

The Demise of the Cup

Ok. Full admission here. I've spent some time recently looking at male appendages. No, I haven't been perusing the gay porn pages, thank you GG, Hammer, Mudge and Tom de Plume--I've been watching NFL Football. It seems that the penchant for tight, spandexy trousers, technologically advanced slow motion photography and and the large scale eschewing of the old fashioned jock strap and cup have teamed up to provide the average Sunday (or Monday, Thursday, or Saturday) NFL fan with near anatomically correct closeups of the male phallus. It appears that the same aversion to undercarriage shielding prevails in the college ranks.

I wondered whether it were only me who noticed this trend....but apparently not. This article says that there hasn't been a cup worn by a Philadelphia Eagle since 1999! Holy Moly.

Mudge said...: I dunno, CW. Looks like Mr. Skinner in the photo came up pretty much empty-handed.

Oh wait, that's a UVa guy. Never mind.; January 17, 2011
The Conservative Wahoo said...: Indeed. Mr. Skinner--as he was in the process of wrangling a Wahoo--clearly had his "hands full".; January 17, 2011
Dick Skinner said...: Looks like my son drew the short straw.; January 17, 2011
Shorty O'Toole said...: Just guessing, but is it fair to say that most of the Wahoos' cups runneth under?; January 17, 2011
Jaime Nottagué said...: "No, I haven't been perusing the gay porn pages, thank you GG, Hammer, Mudge and Tom de Plume--I've been watching NFL Football."

Of course you haven't. But worry not, there'll be time for that after the NFL season ends in a few weeks.; January 17, 2011
The Conservative Wahoo said...: "UNCLE"---Mudge----"UNCLE"; January 17, 2011
"The Hammer" said...: I swear, you Navy guys.

Listen up, if a comment doesn't enhance your standing as a red-blooded ass kicking American male, or show some sort of bullshit "feminine" side to some chick to help you get some poon, then by God it's against man-law. That's it, end of friggin' story!; January 17, 2011
PK said...: Odd. I'm suddenly interested in a leisurely Sunday afternoon in front of the television.; January 18, 2011

The Conservative Wahoo

The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.

The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.

The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.
