I laughed so hard at this... Masculinity issues at stake here...

Same, standing with your legs a mile a part isn't going to impress the ladies, Lou.

Perhaps the towers in the background are supposed to be representative of something.

You know, if we're going to bring up gender issues I might as well add the other ad I have for this into the post.

What an unnatural pose. What is that about?

This one would go well with the WTC collection I posted.

I think that scooter showed up in some live action Japanese hero shows (think Power Rangers) in the 80's. Naturally, as a young and impressionable, well, youth, I wanted one.

You know this shot is probably taken from the Jersey side of the Hudson.
