The Pitch

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 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!

These two rather stylish entries have been received from *relet and aperfectring, so we're still after at least 10 more. Happy snapping.

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 like the idea, though December in Germany isn't exactly the time of the year you'd want to undress yourself on some open field. But I'll do my best. To give you a foretaste, that's what I look like undressed (probably not safe for work): Link 1 Link 2 --Ilpadre 09:24, 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)
