Yet another reason to stick with TE

No. Lance was a drift. The point was nudity vs. porn, where not all nudity is at the expense of dignity. Some nudity-on-a-bike is clearly not porn -- not because it is male nudity, but because the picture obviously is not about a body's sexual availability to the viewer. The Lance picture is about the body one builds as a biker and the relationship between biker and bike. .....

Exactly my point. For example, I have this poster in my office http://www.cyclesgladiator.com/ (a new office gift from my daughter)
and while it depicts a nude women and a bike it is clearly ART. That is different from the crap that is posted at some of the coed sites. And again, I respect free expression, I don't care that some men view that sort of thing, I just choose not to. But, I did have an EEOC officer notice the poster on my wall, and ask me if anyone had told me they were offended by it, and if so I would have to take it down. I asked her how could anyone be offended by art, and these are medical students so they really shouldn't be offended by a tasteful image of the human body.

This is why we have boring plain governmental calendars at work! No one gets offended, except for those who just don't like work!

Oh, and we do allow puppies and kitten calenders. Flowers, too. I've got one of my orchid calenders up.

Speaking of which, I guess I shouldn't have the orchid calender up, 'cuz I know someone here knows the origin of the word 'orchid'...

Stand by for more revelations about ....


Paphiopedilums!

Actually, the genus Orchis is quite appropriately named, as one tuber is always larger than the other. The one tuber is the current, growing tuber, the other is the one dying and losing nourishment...

I have two calendars up in my cubicle, side-by-side, that I got for Christmas. One, from DH, is "tropical island scenes" - gorgeous photography, very tasteful. The other "Emily the Strange" is all black and red, very goth and dark. I just like to keep my co-workers guessing... So far no one has complained!
