"It probably wasn't necessary or professional," he said as he signed autographs and stopped for pictures on the way into dinner. Antonio Brown wipes his...

Sam Vosburgh, 60, nicknamed Chewbacca, says he rarely wears a shirt because he “runs hot.” “It's crazy, this is overwhelming I never expected this, I just went to watch the ballgame with my grandkids and my son in-law and all the sudden all this. It's overwhelming, it's beyond.” He was shocked to find out he had gone viral, because the Vosburgh said he goes to a lot of games and is almost always shirtless.

It's not the first time the outdoors adventureman has taken a break to the Siberian mountains.

And he usually opts to go shirtless here, as in 2009, the famous photo of him riding a horse without his top on was taken. Political analysts say the president takes adventure holidays to show the nation that he is still healthy, strong and full of vigor.

A knight in shining armor isn’t always the key to a woman’s heart. Case in point: Jan Rudnicki, a 40-year-old Polish man who hopped onto a horse and plowed into a female’s house in hopes of sweeping her off her feet. According to the Croatian Times, a drunk and shirtless Rudnicki jumped on the equine, who galloped right through Gosia Domoslawska’s front door. As we all know, these sort of advances aren’t well received in instances of unrequited love, so an uninterested Domoslawska called authorities after Rudnicki stormed through her place. The faux savior could spend up to five years...

If you can believe it, this is from the Washington Post on 12/25/08 from an, as yet, unidentified writer. I mean there’s slobbering and then there’s SLOBBERING. Andrew Sullivan did you write this?

Remember those staged photos of Bill and Hillary Clinton dancing on the beach once upon a time? You have to wonder. The Obama 'pec' photos were taken on a public beach. Some accounts said the photographer had approval to take those shots. All of a sudden, the bad buzz about links between Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Barack Obama was gone for a while, replaced by good buzz about presidential pecs," noted Tim Graham of the Media Research Center. "There's some bathing-suit bias, too. When beauty queen photos of [Alaska Republican Gov.] Sarah Palin surfaced during the presidential campaign, the...
