It’s Wayne Gretzky’s Birthday, So Here’s a Photo of Him Dressed in Just Soap Suds
All, Former Athletes, Kind of Gay, NHL January 26th. 2012, 11:53am
Living legend Wayne Gretzky turns 51 today, and while he appears to have aged somewhat ungracefully, here’s a wonderfully disturbing photo of The Great One taken several decades ago during his dominant days as an Edmonton Oiler.
No one got a bigger kick out of the moment than Gretzky’s enthused teammate standing behind him, the guy dressed like Kevin Arnold’s gym teacher who may or may not be Mark Messier. We safely assume that dressing in a risque soap sud suit is standard procedure when it comes to an NHL locker room.

I am wearing my Gretzky sweater in the office today. Full admission. I’m surprised anyone in Canada is required to go to work actually. Figured this was up there with Canada Day.

100%.

OH! Andy Gray with a good one! Mr. Hockey and The Great One.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:02 PM
Well, we’ve officially bottomed out. What’s our next post?
We’ve got nothing!
We need a new format. We should shut down and re-tool.
What about a guest-post?
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.

It’s bad sports karma to disrespect the Great One’s birthday.

January 26th, 2012 at 12:05 PM
I’d take him as the Hawks 2nd line center while Toews is out. Even at 51. Bet he could still win 50% of his draws. That’s better than Dave Bolland right now.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:06 PM
My rooting interests are the Boggle’s of sports franchises…it can’t get much worse.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:07 PM
Are you an A’s fan, Babar? If you wanted, you could get on the Sharks bandwagon. Instead of regular season disappointment, you’d just get postseason disappointment.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:08 PM
I bet the national media didn’t even pick up on this story because you’re a Saints fan, amiright?

I always tell people that today is The Great One’s birthday. And it’s Wayne Gretzky’s birthday too.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
Good lord the 80s were a homoerotic time.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
I don’t think I’ll be eating lunch after seeing that.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
He’s only 51?
January 26th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
It’s also Jerry Sandusky’s birthday. You have quite the birthday people resume.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
Grew up watching the A’s, but it’s been tough to follow lately. My boss gives me his Sharks tickets from time to time, but I can’t say I’m a fan…and my basketball team hired a color guy (/not racist) to coach them. Also, my football team is on their 28th coach in 6 years (numbers approx.)

I don’t think I’d categorize a picture of him making a scream face as “aging ungracefully”. He’s just in the middle of yelling – who really looks young when they do that?

We talking anal in here?
January 26th, 2012 at 12:20 PM
And the 2010s aren’t?
I think we’re all much more aware of the homoeroticism prevalent today, which makes it different from the 80s.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:21 PM
We talking anal in here?
If we weren’t already, I guess that’s where the discussion is about to go.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:21 PM
Homoeroticism now is passed off as macho. It’s the trying too hard of sexuality.

And hasn’t shit in at least 48 hours.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:33 PM
Is that right? I would think you would want the bowels to be vacated…see this is why I don’t mess with this stuff.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:33 PM
I’m having a hard time deciding on the size of Wayne’s “stick” in this picture. He’s in a room full of dudes and most likely just came out of the shower. I’m guessing there’s shrinkage, but are the bubbles hanging lower than the actual body part they’re stuck to?
January 26th, 2012 at 12:33 PM
i’m with babar. too much fucking trouble and you last about 2 seconds. if i’m begged, sure, otherwise, i ain’t asking
January 26th, 2012 at 12:34 PM
hmmmm, sg, i’d be happy as I’m sure would the other guys in here, to go study his package some more
January 26th, 2012 at 12:34 PM
Seriously. I’d rather keep asking for that elusive threesome.

our friend ballz likes to dabble in the analingus. for that special order, you best be right out of the shower/bath
January 26th, 2012 at 12:38 PM

I don’t know, I’m not an expert. But it seems to me that you’d want that canal to be nice and clean before entry.

SG, just like we like to inform you of a male’s ability to poop and pee at the same time…a warm shower has not effect on size (in fact, sack size tends to increase with heat). Shrinkage is a by-product of being cold, and cold showers are for psychos.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:42 PM
are for psychos.

January 26th, 2012 at 12:44 PM
Ha, where I’m from, there is no such thing as TP. Hell, I’ve seen people using rocks.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:44 PM
Anal is gross. There. I said it.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:46 PM
Ha, where I’m from, there is no such thing as TP. Hell, I’ve seen people using rocks.
Rocks? Rocks?! Leaving aside the tremendous discomfort that must be associated with rubbing a rock against your asshole, what sort of absorbent power do these individuals think a rock is going to have? Hell, you might as well use your hand and then wipe it on a wild animal.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:46 PM
the dual concussions are hot.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:47 PM
Yeah, but its always cold when you step out of the shower

karma = slumdog millionare?????????
January 26th, 2012 at 12:50 PM
what a rock lacks in absorbing power it makes up for in scraping ability.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:51 PM
a warm shower has not effect on size
In fact, the size increases for a few minutes if you bend your GF or wife over in the shower and fuck her.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:51 PM
I’ve used rocks. When I did Outward Bound. With leave-no-trace-camping your options are either to use rocks or to carry the used TP with you. Never EVER use a leaf, rocks are much cleaner. You find flat ones and just do your thing. Rocks have pores in them. Granted if you don’t have a water source to bath in afteward like the ocean you wont get everything off.
/three weeks with no shower, didn’t even smell at all
January 26th, 2012 at 12:52 PM

Oh man, that made me cringe.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:53 PM
With leave-no-trace-camping your options are either to use rocks or to carry the used TP with you.
I guess if those were my only two options, I’d try to find the smoothest rock I could.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:56 PM
you can always scoot on the ground like a dog with an itchy asshole.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:57 PM
only two options? there’s always the squat’n'spread…granted, you might need to take a few yoga classes first before you can master this maneuver.
January 26th, 2012 at 1:02 PM
Don’t leave coop out of this.
January 26th, 2012 at 1:03 PM
I understand the leave no trace thing, but if you are shitting in the woods, aren’t you leaving a trace anyways? what harm will a little biodegradable tp do?
January 26th, 2012 at 1:04 PM
Agreed….bury it or burn it.
January 26th, 2012 at 1:05 PM
It’s a fire hazard. You’re supposed to bury the shit in a cathole.
January 26th, 2012 at 1:06 PM
It doesn’t burn completely. Animals are going to dig up shit long before TP decomposes and then you’ve got paper strewn about.
January 26th, 2012 at 1:52 PM
yeah mole. i did a NOLS trip, same thing. you find your rock or leaf, scout for an out of the way place, dig a hole, shit in it, wipe, throw the rock/leaf in, stir the shit with a stick to make it degrade quicker, put the dirt back, shove the stick in the dirt so others know it’ s a shithole
loved that trip, 12 days backpacking/climbing/fishing in the wind river range. fucking stars were amazing
January 26th, 2012 at 2:42 PM
Good to see there are other rock-wipers here. Haha, SC, I was born in Nepal, stayed there till I was 7, and don’t remember much (minus seeing people wipe their asses with rocks). I’m a Canadian through and through.
Keep in mind that water is also scarce in these locations….so yeah.
