Caption That Cover: Holiday Edition

by SB Sarah | December 23, 2009 | Wednesday at 11:00 am | 201 Comments

So many people have written to me asking about the Dreamspinner ad running in our ad column. Some are dying to talk about it, some are asking me to create a thread just to discuss it, and some are absolutely turned off. What, a man with his pants down wearing some mistletoe around another area that may in fact be well hung is worth talking about?

You bet your sweet bippy. So with the generosity of Elizabeth, head of Dreamspinner, who sent me a big ol’ high res version of the cover so you can appreciate the pants mistletoe’d man in all his splendor, we have: Holiday Caption That Cover!

Leave your caption in the comments, and on Christmas Day, I’ll pick a winner. Said winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice. Comments will close at midnight on Christmas Eve, Eastern Standard Time - I hear Santa needs to borrow those tightie whities for a trip round the world, you know?

Mad props and full credit for the image go to Paul Richmond, the artist who created this holiday wonderpiece. And oh, what a wonder it is. You ready? Come out with your pants down!

    Too on point?

    Was that kiss under the mistletoe or kiss the mistletoe undies?

    May as well go retro with this, because 80 percent of you are probably thinking it, anyway (-:.

    Upon entering the room, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration representative screamed at the sight of the man climbing the ladder with his pants around his ankles - but then he grinned, admitting that the holly-patterned briefs were much too pretty to be hidden.

    “Holly berry-spangled homoerotic subtext, Batman!”

    “A visitation from the spirit of Christmas yet to come”

    “Was Bernard really interested in him?  The dropped trousers, the well-hung mistletoe, the sidelong looks were all suggestive, but Ben still wasn’t sure.  Perhaps that really was a candle tucked into his red-trimmed, seasonal, yet strangely seductive underwear…”

    Oh god, and now I have Christmas carols to ill effect:

    “Doff we now our gay apparel, fa la la, la la la, ooh, la la!”

    “The holly bares a prickle, as sharp as any thorn…”

    “O come, all ye faithful…” (I’m very, very sorry, truly I am)

    Also, with apologies to Walter de la Mare (and I know this is too long for a caption, but I can’t resist:

    Sitting under the mistletoe
    (Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
    One last candle burning low,
    All the sleepy dancers gone,
    Just one candle burning on,
    Shadows lurking everywhere:
    Some one came, and kissed me *there*.

    (actually, my real problem here is that so *many* Christmas carols have verses that are downright filthy if you are in the wrong frame of mind, and I have been singing Christmas carols every day for the last week…

    Maybe it’s because I’m a klutz, but all I keep thinking is, “With his pants trapping his legs like that, he is SO going to fall off that ladder.”

    Have to go for the obvious: “Don we now our gay apparel.”

    “I saw Daddy kissing Santa’s drawers underneath the mistletoe last night.”

    “Talk about making the Yuletide gay.”

    Ok, on to the captions!

    “Looking over his shoulder, Craig couldn’t contain his glee. This year, it looked like being naughty was going to pay off big time.”

    “Frank knew his horrible habit of forgetting to do up his fly was going to bite him in the ass one day…”

    “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth so I can nip those undies off and wish you Merry Christmas!”

    “It says here in this book you’re supposed to kiss the first thing you see hung under the mistletoe…oh. Oooh.”


    And the one so wrong, you know it’s right:
    “Rudolph, with your cock so bright…won’t you guide my lay tonight?”

  36. Nadia said on 12.23.09 at 04:52 PM • [comment link]

    “Thank you, Santa!”

    An excerpt from the book that accompanies the Mistletoe Madness Advent Calendar, Goy to the World:

    It had been a tense holiday season. Chris recalled the stress of meeting Ira’s parents for the first time, how awkward he’d felt going through the motions for their Hanukkah traditions. He set his book down. His heart swelled as he watched Ira attach the mistletoe to the ceiling, returning the holiday favor. Perhaps their blended faiths could work, after all. Then Ira’s jeans dropped and something else of Chris’s swelled.
    “Is that holly?” Chris asked in a hushed tone.
    Ira smiled wickedly. “It is.”
    “It’s hung with care,” Chris said, admiring the strapping Jew perched so dangerously before him. “You don’t know how much it means to me that you’re embracing the spirit of Christmas.”
    “Ignoring its religious roots and misappropriating its traditional imagery for use on tawdry, novelty commercial items?”
    “Yes,” Chris breathed, tears welling in his eyes as he took in the cheerful motif on Ira’s briefs.
    “Merry Christmas,” Ira said with a wink. “Now go put on the Santa suit. Some of us have been naughty.”

    When Chet’s pants slipped down, all became clear to Ted. He tried to smile and laugh it off, but it was hard. NOW he understood why everyone made little…remarks…about his roommate. What meaning everyone attached to that word. And why Chet sometimes looked at him like he was trying to figure something out, and why when they first moved in, Chet sometimes leaned on him on the couch.

    GrowlyCub:

    I am hetero female so I doubt I’m the target audience. That being said, Droopy Drawers Dude looks a bit worried. You can’t see his mouth so it’s hard to say if he’s surprised his britches went south on him or alarmed at having his giblets ogled. Or maybe he’s afraid of rejection?

    So, in an experiment to overcome my personal proclivities and figure out if this is unsexy to me because I’m not a guy who likes guys I tried the following experiment:

    Insert chick in lieu of Studly Sweater dude.

    Nope, not sexy. If some man is hanging mistletoe in my house (or his) and his britches just fell I would LMAO. Especially if he was wearing those particular briefs. Whether by accident (hilarious!) or on purpose (ick! Seriously, that’s the best you can come up with?), that’s just funny.

    I like the vestiges of subtlety, at the minimum.

    Laurel,

    thanks for the feedback.  I’m female too, but I love m/m. One of my favorite books and one of the most romantic love stories I’ve ever read is between 2 guys (one older) in Jules Jones’ ‘Lord and Master’ (not BDSM).

    So, the fact that there are two guys on the cover is not the issue, nor would the age difference be (my husband is 22 years older than I), but something in that pic is just terribly off to me.

    My first thought was, ewww, look at Daddy looking at his half nekkid son.  No idea why it struck me that way.  I know I’m funny sometimes… :)

    ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and I was nonplussed,
    Not a creature was stirring, including some lust!
    My partner had dusted, decked halls, and gift wrapped;
    Now all that he sought was a long winter’s nap.

    But I wasn’t ready to go straight to bed,
    But what could make “sugarplums” dance in his head?
    Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear
    But those Christmas briefs (got as a gag gift last year).

    I entered the room, caught his eye, quirked a brow,
    Then, holding some mistletoe, boldly dropped trou
    There I stood before him, my pride on the shelf,
    And he laughed when he saw me, in spite of himself.

    More rapid than eagles, he came to my side
    And said, “Here’s a present that’s too good to hide!”
    But I heard him exclaim as the curtains were drawn,
    “Take your Christmas briefs off, and then let’s get it on!”

    Whisper what you’ll bring to me,
    Tell me if you can.

    When I’m fast asleep,
    Down my jammies with your hand,

    I really can’t stay
    (but baby it’s cold outside)
    I’m not sure that I’m gay
    (but baby it’s cold outside)
    This evening has been
    (been hoping that you’d drop in)
    So bizarre
    (shit! my jeans might catch on fire!)
    I really should hit the hay
    (that’s not what your eyes say)
    But you’re between me and the door
    (can’t you see my hard-on soar)
    And I can’t look away
    (baby, I’ve been waiting all day)
    So maybe just a peek more
    (just a sec, I’ll have your ass on the floor)
    The neighbors might faint
    (you’re under the mistletoe)
    The rumors they’ll paint…
    (we’ll take it nice and slow)
    of our friendship
    (don’t you want to grab my hips?)
    But holly’s my favorite tree
    (come put your mouth on me)
    I ought to say “no, no, no sir”
    (mind if I move in closer)
    At least I’m gonna say that I tried
    (what’s the sense in hurtin’ my pride)
    I really can’t stay
    (oh baby don’t hold out)

    both: baby it’s cold out side

    Dont know about this cover but when my brother got married on Christmas, I bought him ho ho’s. Yes, there are men’s underwear out there that say ho ho ho on them and do indeed have holly.

    couldnt 28 - and no I couldn’t explain to my seven year old daughter why the ho ho underwear was so funny.

    When Darrin asked Joe to help him to put up some mistletoe he didn’t know he actually meant THEY were going to use it!

    Spamword: Wanted49- For Christmas Joe wanted 49 more pairs of those tighty whities.

    Butch knew all about Vishous’s cursed left (or right) hand, the one on which he always wore a leather glove to avoid incinerating anyone. What totally blew him away as they decorated a tree in the mansion’s foyer was the sight of V’s holly-festooned tighty whiteys. Would THAT light up as well?

    from Santa Baby

    “Think of all the fun I’ve missed
    Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissed
    Next year I could be oh so good
    If you’d check off my Christmas list”
