Friday Is a Day Without Content 'Round These Parts

Nice stems, sure: but look at the pipes* on her. (Click to enlarge.) I'm over Bill Hader and on to trapeze artists.

More Circus in Chicago 1946 pics here, including clowns torturing a small boy and Emmett Kelly doing the iconic thing. (Via mrdankelly.)

*pipes = biceps, for those of you whose minds went to some gutter place.

Interesting, I always used "pipes" to describe legs, and "guns" for biceps.

I employ the word "ham-muffins" to describe the backs of the thighs, but that's just me.

Okay, I'm lying.

Heh. "Guns" is totally valid. Back in high school the word was "pythons," although I think that may have come from Hulk Hogan or some other contemporary wrestler.

My mind didn't go to any gutter place! I was just thinking about her boobies. Which I could't see, because her enormous biceps were in the way.

Nothing wrong with thinkin' 'bout boobies.

A while back I found a circus troupe giving aerial silk classes in my area. After a few months I decided it wasn't for me (falling from 20' in the hopes that a knot you tied upside down with your feet is going to catch you before you hit the ground requires a certain level of commitment) but the friends who still do it are some of the sexiest people on earth. It does *very* nice things for the arms and shoulders.

(At least when it's not tearing them out of their sockets or shredding rotator cuffs...)

Ouch. Yeah, that's a pretty high-impact life, I'd think. Even if it's just a hobby.
