Misery Loves Company

From the editor: Editorial director David Hauslaib just sent me the link to a story on 52-year old Gary Duncan, a San Antonio, Texas, man who only wears lycra speedos. Yes, seriously; that’s all he wears – he wears them while working as a carpenter, mowing his lawn, and, horrifically, while riding his bike. It’s crazy.

I don’t know what I was thinking, but I opened the article’s slide show. This is the first thing I saw.

Now, reread the headline.

I’m sorry, but I needed a support system: you!

Update: The slide show appears to have been taken down. I know, you’re crushed…

Okay, it’s rough, but I’ve seen worse bodies than that and in more dire need of covering up.

Not so much a speedo as a flab-hammock…

The only thing worse than this guy parading around in a speedo, would be this guy parading around without his speedo.

“Duncan says part of his motivation to wear the bikini came from a desire to overcome his own insecurities and inhibitions.”

I think we can all learn a thing, or two from Mr. Duncan.

On a lighter note, in the slideshow, the picture at 1:39, the dog in the background is like, “WTF?”

‘I think we can all learn a thing, or two from Mr. Duncan.’

Yes – when it comes to insecurities and inhibitions, sometimes they’re the lesser of two evils…

He’s not so bad looking, but his tire tracks must be the size of a superhighway.

What’s he wear to church? to court? to nice restaurants? he must have a limited life.

I live in San Antonio and have seen Bikini Man many times during First Friday events. First Friday is a community event where businesses stay open late, and the locals hang out(almost street fair). He’s a local character like the original Naked Cowboy, etc. San Antonio is not known for haute-cuisine or couture. Life here is pretty much a slow Texas drawl, only now with 1 million+ people.

FWIW, I’ve seen people wearing clothes that street walkers wouldn’t be caught dead in coming out of church

i am not attracted to him, but he’s not that awful.

good for him.

of course the fashionistas that think they are all that that scorn him probably have a bit more insecurity and self hatred than he.

just saying. no one needs to hate.

he’s different, good for him.

Good the fuck for him. Takes balls to do something like that.

People get older. Our body changes. It happens to all of us..at some point.

what a great American!

People like Gary Duncan are the most excellent and perfect examples of American evolution: free spirited boundary pushers who seek good and joy…

Not really kidding.

That seems like a good body for his age (later 40′s 50′s?). Though wearing Speedos always is simply tacky. What about boxer shorts or cargo pants?
