Now -- who remembers, 'cause I don't: At the time this photo was published (I think it was in Cosmopolitan), there was lots of hoo-ha about photos of unclothed men in mainstream publications.

It was indeed Cosmopolitan.

I remember the following exchange on Are You Being Served? (sorry, but text will have to suffice in place of video):

Miss Brahms (about a homely male customer): He wouldn't make the center page of the Cosmopolitan.
Mrs. Slocombe: Now that's something I just don't understand. Why anyone would want to buy a women's magazine with a picture of a nude man. Oh, I think it's awful.
Miss Brahms: I thought Burt Reynolds looked quite sexy.
Mrs. Slocombe: Well, you couldn't see anything. His arm was in the way.

Lois - Miss Moneypenny - how fitting that ye were born on Valentine's Day, and that ye are of at least nominal Scotch heritage!
Were I employed by British Intelligence, I would've been smart enough to have taken ye oot for dancing & dining & drinks & romance after hours, and left those snooty, self-absorbed continental chicks to MI-5 {at least when I wasn't hangin' w/ Tiger Tanaka!}.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Kevin McCarthy 96! Wow!! I thought he was much younger. Didn't he appear in the "Flamingo Road" TV Series during the 1980s? Morgan Fairchild used to be my dream woman back then, with her slim body and her sexy lingerie.

Fernando, believe it or not, the 96 year old McCarthy is currently to co-star in a low budget movie now being made.

Hence, no doubt, the origin of the popular Canadian term.

That's funny, Klondike.
