MythBuster Babes

I "discovered" a new show last night on, where else, the Discovery Channel called Myth Busters. The premise is they take famous urban myths and test them out scientifically to decide once and for all if the myth could possibly be true. Last night's episode discussed the old myths of the dog exploding in a microwave, whether a penny dropped from the Empire State Building could kill a pedestrian, and whether or not Lucille Ball picked up radio signals in her teeth fillings that uncovered a Japanese spy transmitter during WWII - go figure. (You'll have to watch the show to find out which is true or false!)

Well, anyway, the two hosts of the show, Jamie and Adam somehow looked familiar. Both are the type I'd expect to see at Lazy Bear Weekend or certainly at the local San Francisco bear-bar, the Lone Star. Beret-wearing Jamie has a very stoic attitude and deep, deep sexy daddy voice, where red headed flat topped Adam is the more talkative and flamboyant of the two, and in his bio describes him as a "thing-maker". I could name several of my faggy friends as "MISS Thing Makers".

Inititially, I was interested in the subject matter of the show after just having watched two porn sci-fi mad scientist movies, Millenium Men and Technical Ecstasy. But then I noticed, hey, these bearcubs are kinda sexy in a geeky kind of way!

I did some research, and it seems Adam and Jamie own a special effects company right here in San Francisco called M5 Industries that creates gadgets and puppets for movies and commercials, and their studio is located on Potrero Hill, one of the lesser gay neighborhoods.

As I continued watching, they went on location to tanning salon. Seems they tape the show in San Francisco, and of all the tanning salons to visit in SF, they chose Sorrento Tan, a salon right in the Castro! hmmm. You know, it's the one with the blue awning that faces the Gay Gay Gay Gold's Gym? But wait, the next stop was Friedman's Microwave store, also in the Castro and conveniently located right next door to Eros, the gay bath house!

An "aha" moment? Maybe. Except for the Burning Man picture above with the boys trying to look butch, one look at the pictures below tell all you need to know.
