Notice the slight bit of pointy cleavage. Even the one in the kayak looks female to me, so maybe this ad had more of a message than previously thought.

But Charlie's comments are what REALLY make it special ... The comments definitely make the blog, though I must say I find the articles themselves fascinating as well.

I must say, the posts are only moderately interesting in themselves; I drop by every day mostly to read your comments. :-) I love the ‘female human/kayak hybrids’ part.

The guy is in the kayak, just coming in from fishing or something. I think the standing person is supposed to be a woman. The guy is in the kayak, just coming in from fishing or something.

Those rosy cheeks, upturned nose, and sort of sexy sashay make for a man who is very comfortable with his feminine side.

The presumed woman in the kayak is sporting the Unabomber hoodie-over-wool cap look while staring vacantly at the other woman's--sorry, man's knee. Her kayak looks like a civil war era ironclad ship.
