HOWLLLLL

 

HOWWWWLLLLLLL!!!!!

How people get here, and … Tigra Sex?

Happy almost Friday friends.

A guy I know from the local bar works in online digital marketing, to me that sounds a lot like making annoying ads junk up my internet experience. In a sense, yes, he is the guy that tempts you to “CLICK HERE NOW TO SAVE UP TO 55% OFF YOUR CAR INSURANCE”.  Thankfully he is not like that in real out-of-the-office life and is a pretty cool guy.

Last night over a couple Albita’s, we we chatting about search terms people use to get the info they need fast. I never really paid much attention to that stuff in my own life, I don’t know much about this thing called blogging.  But I was curious and I decided it was pretty cool WordPress tracks it all for you…and tracks some strange, strange things.

It all looks fairly innocent, and it amazes me that so many people can spell Herveaux correctly (a badge of honor). So the list reads like this:

Now, I get down to “leonard herveaux” and I’m laughing because I have an uncle Leonard Herveaux…but I have never spoken of him here.

How cool that I get top clicks for my namesake?!

All this is pretty awesome – lots of the right stuff. Lots of stuff concerning posts and hypotheses that have run through this site.

All is fine and good, but then it gets weird:

Right between “joe manganiello” and “casting for alcide herveaux” is “tigra sex”.

WTF?

I don’t know what kind of weird shit people are into out there, but entering those terms into Google and hoping for who-know-what-twisted-shit is beyond me. And why is this pointing to my site? In fact, I am number 2 when those terms are entered! (I had to check, and yup, there I am.)

It all goes back to this post I made a year ago about a woman in Shreveport who, while almost naked spare for tiger body paint, locked herself in an animal cage in the middle of downtown to protest the circus.  Add her craziness to my failed allusion to Anchorman, one of the best Will Ferrell movies of all time, in the post’s title, and you have the entreé into a bizarre world of internet search terms.

Thanks Tigra Sex searchers for finding and coming to my site, all 10 of you, but I doubt I was what you were looking for.

Anyone know what John Quinn (@QuinntheTiger) is up to these days?

Great Photos of Joe & Lindsay from Seminole Casino Coconut Creek #TrueBlood Event

Many thanks to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek for both holding this FANtastic Meet and Greet and allowing me to post these great shots. I am sure they see how loyal and excited True Blood Fans are for these events.

If this fictional character was only located a bit more near Florida, I would have been there in all my real-life glory.

Note the Black Widow on the web checking Joe Manganiello and Lindsay Pulsipher out as if they were flies!

Meet & Greet Photos from contest winner Renna #JoeManganiello #TrueBlood

I’d like to consider Renna a bit of a roving reporter for sending in these photo from last night’s meet and greet with Joe and Lyndsay.  She reports Joe is “a stand up guy…very sweet!”

I asked Renna for “some meat to fill a pot” though I meant ‘meat to fill a post’ – We both think the first version is funnier and just as applicable!  Here are her words:

“When I arrived at 6:20, they were already there inside the Nectar Lounge area. They started promptly at 7:00 and stayed until almost 9:30! There were still plenty of people in line, but the cut off was really 9 o’clock. [The Casino had] a line forming through the middle of it to get to the lounge area where Joe & Lindsey were set up.”

The lovely Renna, and look how Joe is looking at her!

“I thought I would muster up the courage to say a few things to him when it was my turn, but that didn’t happen! I was a giddy little school girl. I wanted to say something witty or mention AlcideHerveaux.com (the contest and the poem) but all I was doing was smiling! Sorry;( Actually, I had a perma-smile! Not only could I not speak, which is unusual for me, but I was shaking.”

I wonder if the show pays for the flannel shirts. Great shot!

He was very nice and patient. He stood for photos and never seemed annoyed with the slew of people there waiting in line, greeting each person with the same respect and courtesy. I’d say a couple hundred maybe showed up??I think it was a good turnout being that I only heard one radio commercial and saw one local T.V. commercial. It was truly a great time!

I love how Lyndsay is sneaking in the back of this picture!I

When Renna saw this last photo she writes “I felt bad later..didn’t know Lindsay was even trying to get in the photo. I totally forgot she was even there. She had to reach over and give me her photo! Poor thing! They were both very nice and accommodating.” Whew! I think it must be hard playing second fiddle to Joe. Way to keep the smile Lindsay!

I also was told that Abby, another contestant, is one of the women in the background of this last image – let’s call them stalking lionesses – look at her eyes glow! Are they were-Lions perhaps?

Thanks Renna!

Stay tuned for more Alcide/Joe news and future contests!

#TrueBlood’s Joe Manganiello Discusses His Beard in Great Detail

Joe Manganiello just wrapped his first season on True Blood, playing Alcide the hunky, sometimes naked werewolf. We caught up with him this Fashion Week at the G-Star Raw show, where he was sporting his trademark not-too-long, not-too-short, always-the-same facial hair, and took the opportunity to ask every question we could think of about it.

You always have this beard the same length. Is that part of your look?
Yeah. I mean, I read the books, and this is how the character was described in the books. When I showed up I wanted to be as close to that mark as possible, and then you kind of put your own stink on it, and make him look the way you think he should look. And there’s kind of a reclusive, construction-working, woodsy, kind of, you know, secretive guy, so I figured a beard would work.

So that’s how you got the role, you read the books and thought about this character.
Yeah, that. And I hate shaving, so that’s the other part of it, too.

But if you don’t shave, then it grows down your neck.
Well, I can’t. It won’t grow down to there [arches his neck, like where a beard would keep growing down the neck]; it stops right there, [right under the chin].

But if you don’t shave it will also grow long, like shaggy. Yours isn’t.
Oh, the length of it? Yeah, that would be kind of ZZ Top–y. I don’t know if that would work for me.

So do any of the men on the show have to trim body hair because you’re all naked so much onscreen?
I don’t have to, thank God. I’m Sicilian and Armenian and I play a werewolf, and I’m hairless. I think it was probably the only time in history you’re going to see that combination. [Laughs.]

Do any of the other guys on the show have to shave various body parts?
I don’t know. I haven’t shaved any of them, so I couldn’t tell you.
