Well, it's coming up to Christmas, and I know that I myself am
 
particularly bad at buying gifts. Talking to a certain female
 
geohasher who wishes to remain nameless, I was pointed in the
 
direction of the [http://store.three.com.au/men-of-cricket?cid=26 Men Of Cricket] calendar. Why she thought I'd be interested, I'm not sure.
 
 
 
I couldn't help noticing that some of these gentlemen appear to have
 
put considerable effort into looking the part, and I can't help
 
thinking that if they spent as long in the nets as they did brushing
 
their hair they might have a much better chance at actually winning
 
some cricket sometime. They also seem to have taken great pains to be
 
placed in a variety of scenic locations, none of which (I assume,
 
though I have no citation) were very close to a cricket field at all.
 
In fact, this calendar has nothing to do with cricket, it is about
 
getting nice young ladies like *cough* Joannac *cough* to spend their
 
money.
 
 
 
Geohashing, on the other hand, in a sport in which people regularly
 
visit scenic and interesting places, occasionally wear very little
 
clothing, and is generally done by a bunch of interesting and
 
realistically muscled members of the human race, who generally aren't
 
too bad to look at.
 
 
 
And thus: “Men of Geohashing” was born. On a particular nameless person's
 
insistence it should be specifically "men", but I personally will
 
accept any other willing submissions for personal perusal, if not for
 
final publication. We will be coming up with a name based on the submissions and the gender of the submitees, I think.
 
 
 
So, throughout the next month leading up to Christmas, I am looking
 
for approximately 12 (those cricketers have 13, but they're not real
 
good at maths) good quality tasteful photos of real geohashers at or
 
near real geohashes for the production of a calendar. I doubt the
 
international geohashing community quite measures up to the Australian
 
cricket team physically, and I hope we can approach this project with
 
tongues firmly in cheek, but I'd like to see what we can come up with
 
in time for Christmas, the traditional time for the giving of bad
 
gifts.
 
 
A certain someone has suggested that the calendar be constructed
 
entirely of geoflashing pics. While I myself am moderately comfortable
 
with the idea (though I feel sorry for those sheep) I see no need to
 
limit the project to this, rather to let the ample amounts of
 
geohashing creativity run wild, and see where it leads us.
 
 
 
So, I'm looking for submissions, either from hashes already complete,
 
or of photos taken specifically for the purpose. Those who submit an entry for the calendar will be eligible for the “Calendar Girl” achievement, which will have better art when somebody clever contributes some. The final calendar will be available to all.
 
 
 
Let the onslaught of interested parties begin!

Current Status

Dear Calendar Girls (and Boys), please pick a month. I bags October. This will turn into a 2010 calendar, if that's ok with everyone? --joannac 02:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Or a 2009-2010 financial year one?. -- UnwiseOwl 08:51, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I have no clue when the 2009-2010 financial year is, but if it is common to all pictured, I am fine with that. --aperfectring 11:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Financial years are not international. A company can even declare its own financial year period. -- relet 13:00, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Really? I didn't know that. Either way I don't want to wait until January to use my calendar, I want it soon. When we start is arbitrary anyway. How about July ;) -- 122.49.172.236 13:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

As of 2009-05-25 11 entries have been made. These are in order of appearance:

We've only got 11 calendar pages so far, so either someone else should submit a photo or we should make up something else. I am prepared to trawl through all the userpages to compile enough photos for a collage of "CheesyGrins" if required. (although some help would be nice). Any other ideas? -- UnwiseOwl 08:49, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

What about our cover girl? Will the cover girl just be the same as one of the months, or will the calendar not have a cover? --aperfectring 11:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Formats

This is joannac's suggested format for the calendar. If you have ideas, post them here.

Notes:

  • I am not arty, nor witty. Maybe someone else should do this bit.
  • This requires multiple photos per person.
What size/resolution should the final image be? And where should we put our witty quotes? user:thepiguy
How about in the style of internet demotivational posters? -- UnwiseOwl 08:49, 27 May 2009 (UTC) (only half joking).

Interested Parties

  • I don't mind getting yet another achievement for my geoflashing pic, so I'm in. It should fit the soft pr0nscenery requirements, too. I'd love to see the result. -- Relet 09:13, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I will try; no promises though. I haven't geohashed for a while, let alone geohashing while only semi-clothed. --joannac 09:40, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Not nude, but madness. The person who took this picture was biking ahead of me, no-handed, and turned around to take it. This was taken on the way to a hash. See if you like it. -- Kliment 10:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
  • As some cunning little bugger incredibly intelligent and wonderful little tramp darling has noted, I have not yet signed up. It seems my plan has been thwarted. -- UnwiseOwl 10:54, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I'm not so sure about nakedness, not in this cold little country, and my skin isn't exactly flawless. However, I've been told I look good in my motorcycle racing leathers, so I'll try to get a pin-uppy pic of me with the bike at or near a geohash. Drwilco 11:35, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
  • All of the pics of myself on this wiki are available for this. I doubt if there will be a lot nicer pics of me this year, being it cold or rainy/cloudy or dark here now. Too bad I quite often forgot to take pictures of myself. --Arvid 22:39, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I am interested in buying the calender and giving it to all my friends / family that are not yet geohashing. Lyx 19:21, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
