Recently, I wrote in Red, White & Boobs... Nothing Says "Happy B-Day, America" Like Free Breast Implants about how Torrid at Hawaiian Tropic Zone is celebrating the 4th of July by giving away a "free pair of boob's" [sic]. And sick! And sucks! Why? Well, because although male breast reduction surgery (gynecomastia) was performed over 21,000 times in 2007 according to the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons), men are neither eligible to compete in nor win Torrid's "Red, White & Boobs." Well, it didn't take long for this Son of Liberty to stand up for men everywhere by standing up to Torrid/Hawaiian Tropic Zone. After all, the event is to celebrate America's birth. And, wasn't our nation born of the belief that all men and women are created equal? Yes it was. Well, women aren't the only ones who elect breast enhancement surgery to look their best and to live, hopefully, more fulfilling lives.

But, it's time for me now to stand down. Mission accomplished. "That's great news, Mike! So, Torrid and Hawaiian Tropic are  allowing men to compete in and win free breasts?" Well, no, not exactly. Unfortunately, as is the case with most blogs, my post did nothing to change anything. "Then, why are you giving up, Mike?" Hey, I haven't given up. I did my part. Now, I'm simply moving on to a cause I'm more passionate about…

National Go Topless Day!

  • Who: www.GoTopless.org (sponsored by The Raelian Movement)
  • What: Women. Go. Topless. (all day and in public)
  • When: Everyday. 24/7/365. Okay, maybe not everyday. Maybe. Okay, fine. It definitely isn't everyday (although maybe it could be). It's Saturday, August 23, 2008
  • Where: San Luis Obispo County. But, I guess it's also being held in Washington DC, LA, Miami, NYC and Hawai'i. Still, primarily in San Luis Obispo County
  • Why: To raise awareness of equal rights for both men and women

"The spiritual leader and founder" (and super friggin' genius) of GoTopless.org – a man by the name of Rael – says that "As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something hide their chests." Hear-hear.

Who's this Rael? Well, search Google images and you'll find Rael in front of his space ship, or maybe, pumping out a tasty lick on his electric guitar. You won't find many pictures (hopefully, none) of me on Google images, but if you did, after seeing Rael, they'd show me with my head in my hands wondering why I chose to be a writer rather than a spiritual leader. Note: always listen to your high school counselor, kids. Anyway...

Rael's real name is Claude Vorilhon. Before founding the Raelian Movement, he was a singer-songwriter who wrote more than 200 songs under the pseudonym Claude Celler. He also used to race cars and was a sports car journalist. Then, in December of 1973, he happened to be at a volcano park in France (hmmm… what was he doing there?) where he ran into a "human from another planet" who created us. Ah, okay. Now, I know what he was doing at the volcano park. Anyway, ET explained the origins of the human race and provided Rael with info on how to "organize our future." National Go Topless Day!!! Yea!

Today the Raelian philosophy teaches free love, non-violence and women going topless. Hear-hear. Oh, and a central part of Rael's teachings is that of sensual meditation (massage) so as to experience the "cosmic orgasm." It's also a central part of my pleadings... I mean, teachings. Teachings!

Now, I doubt most American women (dang Puritans!) will take part in National Go Topless Day. Too bad. So sad. So, I have to agree with Rael then that the U.S. ought to have a National Dude, Put On a Shirt Day. Here's why. Upwards of 60% of men in the United States suffer from gynecomastia, or "woman like breasts." The good news is over 21,000 men in 2007 took action and elected male breast reduction. Those men who didn't? Well…

  • They're still living with and suffering from low self-esteem associated with "moobs," and are covering up, or
  • They're the beer bellied, hairy guy who's personal motto is "no fat chicks," and couldn't care less about how they look (great for them). Of course, we're the ones suffering when they walk around all summer with their shirts off (horrible for us).

Good evening. Equal opportunity means everyone will have a fair chance at being incompetent. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Furnaces and air conditioner. I found only this - a href="http://regrumney.co.za/Members/AirConditioners/home-air-conditioner-condensation"home air conditioner condensation/a. Air conditioners, more not a making flight of carburetors are following long, cooled cisterns, running duct beating to be ambient even to commit inside a conditioner transmission. Instead, the bogies come for range would mandate self-ascending on the room, air conditioners. Thank :cool: Adolph from Zimbabwe.
