The inside goss on me – hehehe. Just personal crap I suppose.
I just found out that I was on TV – it was the Gruen Planet (it is a media watch kind of program – I do watch it but I missed that episode). Would have been funny if a bunch of my str8 mates were in the house when it came on and it mentioned “Dave Evans, bisexual blogger” – I’m not sure I would have been able to contain myself and just start dancing saying “THAT’s ME, THAT’s ME, THAT’s ME!!!!”
I’m pretty sure my folks watch it but I don’t think they’ll put the two together. The comment on the TV show was “Who else wears speedos but gay guys!!!” and a general consensus that the blog was doing good things for the ‘Speedo’ brand.
I did recieve an email from the Evil Speedo Corporations lawyers. I can program in 4 different languages but this thing reads like double-dutch to me. I have no idea what it means other than it is bad. They want the AussieSpeedoGuy.org domain name. So for the last few months I’ve been running this site on AussieSpeedoGuy.org – in the next 24hrs Kip will change it over so only the new one works.
This way hopefully anyone who has this in their favourites will be able to update it before they steal it from me.
One thing I did pick up in the legal jargon was that the judge didn’t read my email to him. He said he received it but he chose not to read it. A quote from the judge “Little reliance can, in any event, be placed upon email communications.” The judge seemed to accept blog posts of mine from months and even years back as evidence but when I sent him a personal email (which is easy to trace) it was not admissable. Strange.
Anyway, as I mentioned before I’m up for the Speedo Corporations legal fees. Perhaps I’ll just have to quote the judge, and tell them that little reliance can be placed upon emails. They can deliver the bill in person. When they deliver the bill in person, I’ll be able to give them my snowboard, my laptop, the shirt off my back and the speedos I’ll be wearing.
All good fun if it wasn’t so serious.
Here are some guys wearing ‘Speedo Brand’ speedos.
To be honest I don’t follow the Aussie swimming too much these days – I grew up in the days of Kieran Perkins and Haley Lewis and Lisa Kenny-Currie.
But, I am a huge Thorpey fan!!! I think the guy is the bees knees. He is always nice on camera and obviously he kicked some arse in the pool. I saw last night that he is making a comeback – whoohooo!!!!
One thing I was wondering though – is he ‘out’?
He should be careful though – his nick name “Thorpedo” rhymes with Speedo – and that is now a sacred word.
I’ve had a bunch of emails of support and sympathy after the court thingy on Thursday. Not being a lawyer I’m not really sure what the judgement means – I figure the Evil Speedo Corporation will try and steal my domains off me. But that is OK – this site already has another major domain – www.AussieSpeedoGuy.org which will keep running and it doesn’t effect my flagship site – www.SwimmerBoyz.com since it doesn’t have ‘Speedo’ in the domain name.
The last paragraph of the judgement says I have to pay the Evil Speedo Corporations legal fees….. I couldn’t afford a lawyer to defend myself – go figure.
Yesterday was a big day – I got back from Sydney pretty late and then worked with Kip on some new projects.
I’ve seen a lot of Will in the last week or so – he has seen a lot of me as well – hehe. But this weekend he is staying down in the big smoke but we might catch up next weekend.
Today is a beautiful day and once I finish this post I’m going for a walk and then later I’ve got some mates coming over for a surf when they finish work and we’ll probably end up having a babq and a few beers.
A few changes will be annouced next week – I’ll keep you posted guys.
Enjoy some speedo eye candy and enjoy the speedo weather this weekend.
